The sole thing that should ensure a Trump landslide loss in November is how he acted in February this year. This will be taught in the history books for generations to come.

I saw someone on Twitter put it like this: we shut off the water to fix a broken pipe, but now we are turning the water back on without bothering to actually fix the pipe.

The legal requirement is more of a cover yourself tactic. The strikes and banning are Twitches proof that they take the requests seriously and make it so they are hard to be found liable should a lawsuit occur. They can show they work in good faith to support protecting others IP and when violations occur the

It’s still useful because the police arrest random people and take their smartphones never to give them back. Losing a $25 phone is less stressful than losing your iPhone which will then be cracked to pull out all your emails, pictures, texts, contacts, as well as social media accounts to harass you later with.

For the simplest reasons of all:

I have a decent laptop that isn’t really gaming focused but has a standalone gpu. It can play games, but usually at say 1600x900 and low settings and 30fps. Playable but not beautiful, worse than my new PS4 Pro, but good enough to get some games.

To be fair, a lot of the rave reviews seem to carry overtones of moral superiority and suggest that those who don’t find it funny are the shitty people who are the targets of her barbs. In the same way that folks who don’t find it particularly funny can just quietly ignore it and go on about their lives, it’s just as

First, I surely did not remember this fondly, the late 90s were very interesting on the net. And really without knowing the severity of said events, who are you to say? I already said I never hacked or modded which is what is happening now. I simply took advantage of having a T1 internet connection when most people

I don’t understand. If you’re so illiterate as to not be able read and comprehend the article, how were you able to type all of what you wrote?

Yea but when I go to a Mercedes dealership, I don’t expect a used V12 S class to be replaced with a V6 and it’s Massage seats to be replaced with standard ones to “lower the price.” This is important as software becomes the focal point for these cars. If all dealers had to do was flip a switch and now you gotta repay

So you’re a Porsche dealer that took a Model S as a trade in. Now what? How do you know what you can advertise as features on the car? List it on autotrader or cars.com as being ludicrous-capable? The Porsche dealer isn’t an expert on what Tesla software could be “audited”. No good can come of this. 

Apparently though they are also doing this with cars that were sold second hand by indivuals or through auctions.  The new owner starts using the features and then they just go away. 

My understanding is that if Tesla is the direct seller of the used vehicle (at any stage) they may strip all existing software features in the vehicle and then sell it at a lower cost (later to be upgraded by future owner). It’s completely fair for them to do that and allows the car to sell at a lower price and thus

It’s a very annoying and stupid thing Tesla is up to. I mean if it’s on a car when being sold, taking it off later amounts to theft. The argument that it’s a software and is licensed to the first owner doesn’t hold water.

In Costa Rica our tour guide poured a capful of bleach into the pitcher of water he was using to make lemonade.

Uh, so you can carry 12 ounces of liquid as long as you store it in a hand sanitizer container?

Tor Browser, not Tor itself. Very different things. 

It can be used as a water purifier, but we’re talking desperation tactics, if here in the state. I think it’s a tablespoon or less to a gallon of water. If you have a disaster in your area that pollutes the water supply or if there is no safe water supply and you’re looking at drinking rainwater, it can be used. But

Lol! Of course! What ever were we thinking?!

I never thought I would see the day when the RTS rivalry between Blizzard and EA would come back. Not only that, but the outcome turned out to be different than anybody expected.
