Just to be clear, the “assclowns” in questions are two dozen physicians and research scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, one of the best medical schools in the country at one of the best hospitals in the country. Part of smart science is admitting when your data is suggestive, but not…

Except that’s how statistics, which are the measurement language behind all scientific tests, work. You demonstrate an increased probability of something based on a controlled variable; it’s almost never certain, but when the evidence reaches a certain confidence level we accept it as all but certainly true. In this…

That content has all been on CBS All Access since July of last year. 

This is the most embarrassing article. So, ESPN+, a separate streaming service that was previously available on basically every platform (if not actually every platform) you could get Hulu on and cost $6 a month... can be purchased inside Hulu for $6 a month? If Hulu now INCLUDED ESPN+ content at the same Hulu prices…

Every one of these points is true. The sheer number of buffs and debuffs you have to manage for your stamina to do anything are, in my opinion, a little much. If night weren’t quite so punitive, or if stamina regen was always at the rested level, or if better foods increased your stamina regen and not just your pool,…

This really, really depends on what you watch. Viacom doesn’t have prestige TV here, but it has an enormous volume of good-enough tv or straight up indulgence junk.

Antitrust laws pertain to anticompetitive practices that strip a consumer of choice.

The new video cards have HDMI 2.1 so that gaming PCs can output 4k/120 to TVs, not so that gaming PCs can output 4/120 to monitors, which was already possible over displayport 1.4

Instead, they should be attacking vertical integration, where Apple retains (or attempts to retain) full control over what software is allowed to run on devices that they don’t own. That behavior should be prohibited.

I wonder about this every time a monitor’s HDMI 2.1 compatibility is discussed, so I have to ask: how many people are really plugging consoles into PC monitors? Is this really a substantial population? I can’t imagine it. Is there any data to suggest this is a popular practice? (I would think Sony and Microsoft have…

Interestingly enough, the controlling precedent is that federal antitrust law doesn’t field preempt state antitrust law. But this will surely be (re)litigated (and if so, this Republican backed anti-Apple bill might end up before a Republican controlled Supreme Court that has been stacked with members vehemently…

I mean the bill was obviously written by Epic’s lobbyists so it’s not even vaguely surprising that the bill ignores consoles

Fascinating theory, and it sounds like it fits. I have not been on the hardware side of such development so it’s an interesting perspective. I’d be surprised that the cooling wasn’t tested heavily throughout the design process (cooling on consoles is always a major issue since they get packed into small spaces, no?)…

I guess it doesn’t truly matter that much, but does it seem a little weird to anyone else that they shipped this thing with a second storage slot the firmware didn’t support?

If you chuck it into the ocean it disappears immediately

Ahh, it was probably edited. It currently says “Youtube, Reddit user ‘Roaring Kitty’”. Sure, he uses different names on different platforms. Not surprised they didn’t include both in the headline but they certainly should have connected the platform to the name listed

... Did the headline change? What am I missing? Is your beef with the word “proposed”? Because that’s how class actions work. You file the suit on behalf of individual parties against defendants first (so it is 100% accurate to say he’s already been sued), and then you ask the Court to certify a class and expand the…

I am the furthest thing from an electrical engineer so I have no idea how efficiently a water turbine could generate power. But it was a dreaaammmmmmm. 

Discovery in an oversimplified nutshell means three things:

FYI, if you are actually the “does a lot of private listening” type, the Roku app on your phone supports private listening perfectly.
