Things like that second story of yours make me grateful to have a GP that seems to understand her EMR perfectly well.  My prescriptions are even sent to my pharmacy before she even leaves the room during a physical.

Yeah, I was that “kid with the burner” too for a while.  When I was starting university I remember paying a dollar plus each for writable DVD’s to burn movies too.  

Well, any high school kid who still has access to an optical drive. They’re becoming much less common now.

We don’t even have to specifically teach programming. If we taught problem solving or logic as their own separate one semester courses, people would have the tools necessary to figure out if they were being misled and they’d be able to find the information on their own.

That’s not hidden. If someone were to read the policies that we all just click through on initial setup of a phone, they’d be spelled out clearly. I’ll admit though, I haven’t read through the entirety of very many licenses since I read the entire Windows 95 EULA out loud for my father when we got our first home…

It’s not even an install program it’s an API (Application Programming Interface) that an installed program can hook into in order to provide contact tracing. Also, the API specifically bars apps that use it from also accessing location data. Because of this limitation, all it can tell you (if you use an app that uses…

The place that I go to for my exams has always (for the last 6 years at least) just given me my prescription. Since my insurance only covers full glasses every other year (they cover a full exam every year though), I generally buy a cheap pair online in the off years if I need it.

The fact that he didn’t name the officer makes me, and many other commenters here, think that he’s already going the legal route and doesn’t want to give them any outs.

Holy shit! How are there still people that racist around!? In one comment saying, “I’m not a racist but,...” and in (multiple) others using the n-word blatantly. Do these people not realize that their comment histories are public?

They could go the way that Canada went with all digital storage media and add a tax to cover potential infringement.  Of course, that also makes no sense.

The information you must provide to get this offer consists of: An email address, a name, and a credit card. The email address can be a throwaway and the rest you’d be giving away if you paid by credit card in person. You can choose to provide your address and phone number. Also, with current Android and iOS…

It’s using email based 2fa as a fallback. Since it's easy to create a new free email address, people can do that quite easily to get free copies of the game. 

If anyone is still having issues, you can use the search bar in the Epic launcher to search for GTA V and add it to your account that way.  The download will still take quite a while though.

The “Premium Edition” includes the Criminal Enterprise Pack.  I just need to get to level 5 online to get all my free stuff.

GTA 4 was boring compared to 3, Vice City, and San Andreas (especially SA). I bought and played it but, it just wasn’t as fun for me.

I still own it on 360 but, I never bought it for PC.  Now I do have it for PC.

If this passes it likely wouldn’t increase the national debt.  It would literally be the treasury printing $2000 per person per month.  Since the vast majority of that money would be spent and get locked back up in banks with their reserve quota we wouldn’t even see a huge increase in the rate of inflation from it.

Unfortunately, I’m just a bit too old for that. My universities computer lab was full of Dell systems with Zip drives so I had to buy one for my desktop too. I did get my first 32 MB flash drive as a free prize at a LAN party in ~2005 though.

I haven’t had any Type C ports fail on me yet, but, I have seen complaints like yours around.  Are they really that bad?  Most of the scientific testing that I’ve seen shows them as being stronger than micro-USB Type B but, due to size, worse than Type A for number of insertions before they become loose.

When you said the word “decades” I was going to be pedantic but then I remembered not being able to use USB 1.0 until upgrading to Windows 98 over twenty years ago.  Yeah, it was about time to get a new primary connector.
