I greatly miss the ability to simply purchase a program on a disk for a given year and just have access to that tool.

Sure, business insider, this is news. Write that headline…

God the only journalistic institution I respect anymore is the Onion

He’s as invincible as the story requires him to be.

Yeah Louisiana implemented a government portal that does exactly what you claim through the driver’s license app. Their database was hacked a little under a year ago with basically all private citizen information stolen.

If you set up a system to use these mechanisms the data WILL BE stolen or mishandled.

Russia absolutely is the initial aggressor in the Ukraine conflict, but emphatically insists they are responding to a threat from the Ukraine in their propaganda.

This whole situation feels like what Putin dreamed would have happened with Ukraine. A very public and brutal attack on civilians responded to with a disproportionate level of military force with the end result being the land of the initial aggressor belonging to the perceived victim.

Putin had to invent an excuse, but he would have loved a reason such as this. Combined with Israel possessing one of the foremost intelligence agencies in the world and Egypt warning of an impending attack; this feels like, if not planned, a welcome event for the current Israeli administration.

Glad the FBI is solving the important problems like how to pad their budgets for the off the books projects…

Very business as usual for them, guess the crayon box got emptied out and they got hungry

The Catholic Church is an ancient institution built on centuries of men just writing up and codifying ideas. They need to be able to find loopholes in this box they’ve thought themselves into if they want to change direction on something like this at this point in the game.

Just admitting there is might be a way is enough for the old and embittered to declare this pope the antichrist (again)

I heard the new OS sparkle dream from Venture Industries is a game changer

I had a gigabyte gaming laptop and overall it was a great value… after I fixed the graphics card drivers and updated the motherboard bios. Nothing worked right out of the box new.

If you’re just using the laptop as a browser/ ms office machine for school or something I can’t recommend the Microsoft surface tablet line enough. I’ve used a surface 3 for years for that purpose.

They don’t want to compromise battery in favor of performance and I agree. With smaller games like Hades or cult of the lamb my steam deck battery will last and last. On more demanding games like cyberpunk or Armored Core I get a little over an hour out of it best case scenario.

Beefier graphics hardware will only make that issue worse.

There’s so much bad news out there, I’m happy for a little good news every once in a while

Whenever you want…provided you spent like 50 dollars on a starter ship in 2014

Can’t help but think Bob would be livid to hear that kind of money is being thrown around on a painting he cranked out in half an hour.

“And then we’re gonna nuke this ship”

Likely because the higher ups or media facing members of the project don’t understand what it is or how it works and had it described to them with an overly simplistic analogy

There’s a power levelling method found in many Bethesda games. I’m interested if modern Bethesda will patch this on let it stay in the game for players that want the end game experience quickly.

Tldr: wolves changed their diet and hunting habits to eat sea otters after the deer ran out
