It’s good that no one is actually criticizing Mongolia for this – they are not really in a position to handcuff Putin, much as we would all love to see it.

Man, AnandTech came from the earlier type of Internet, where independent media outlets were fully in control of their own presence on the web. (E.g. they were not a YouTube channel.) Even though they weren’t still independent for a while now (purchased by a publishing company in 2014), I’m sad to see one of the originals go.
They also fund the Epoch Times, a right-wing news outlet that is partially responsible for half of your relatives being absolutely insane these days. (That’s mentioned in OP’s link, and also in your wiki link, but I figured I should mention it for those who didn’t click through.)
Israel’s actions are appalling; that does not mean anyone should want a hard right theocracy like Iran to have nuclear weapons. I don’t even think it would serve as a deterrent; if anything, it could unite all of Israel behind Netanyahu. Scared people go further to the right. And remember: Iran’s government hates more countries than just Israel.
I love when anti-progressive people “take a stand” against California by moving to Texas, and then they move to the most famously progressive city in Texas.
Austin: For those who are stupid enough to relocate based on culture war bullshit, but not stupid enough to think that you’re hiring software developers and creatives out in the boonies.
This looks great. I was thinking about buying an Android ebook reader and a bluetooth keyboard in order to cobble together something like this for myself. But if this is less than the cost of an ebook reader by itself, that’s even better.
This might not be exactly what you’re looking for, but Neon White is one of my favorite games of the last few years, and it’s on the Switch. I played on PC, but I haven’t seen any complaints about the Switch version.
I don’t really know if I’d call if a first person shooter. It’s more like a first person platformer and you have to shoot some targets before completing the level. Levels are very, very short, and you’ll replay them many times to shave a fraction of a second off of your time.
Thank you! Was just about to ask if there were any suggestions for someone who had never played the original.
This may not work out the way I want it to, but I’m actually a little excited about these tech companies making a bunch of anti-consumer decisions all at once. So many mainstream users will be looking for alternatives, and it’s going to provide a great opportunity for non-profit open source projects. It’s already happening with the fediverse suddenly becoming a viable place for discussion in the last 1.5 years. After Windows Recall was announced, I’ve seen more people talking about switching to Linux than ever before. Part of me can’t wait for unskippable Youtube ads.
I think the the previous post was sarcasm. :)
The original video already had a bunch of quotes (like that one) that have lived in my head for years. This remake just added, “Mum pisses in jars!” to the list. :D
Ground is almost 100% dirt. Drinking groundwater is just asking for trouble.
Similar story for me, too. I’m not in the game industry, but Morrowind is the game that made me realize how great a game could be. It got me really into gaming, which made me want to be a game developer. I ended up not becoming a game developer, but that’s what got me on the path of learning to code, so it certainly affected my life.
I remember waking up early on Saturday mornings so that I could play Morrowind for a bit before my parents woke up. A friend and I would take turns playing as our different characters after school. Before that I had played Sonic the Hedgehog, Wolfenstein, and Duke Nukem – and those were fun – but Morrowind put you inside of a story, a really good story, that took place in a world that felt completely real.
While it’s too bad to see that The Elder Scrolls 6 likely won’t deliver that same kind of experience, I’m sure games like Baldur’s Gate 3 are filling that role for kids today. There are still people making inspirational virtual worlds, and players are still being changed by them.
Every time I hear about this problem, I get that one part from the song Love Shack stuck in my head.
🎵 Your what?!?!
TEEEEEEEEEEES-LAAA!
…rusted
Love shack,
Baby love shack 🎵
It does look cool! I’m worried about that too, though. I would only be buying it for the “snap it shut” action, and it’s more expensive than any other phone I’ve owned. The original Razr was premium for it’s time, but that was when “premium phone” meant $300.
My last phone before getting a smart phone as a Motorola Razr, and man that one was so satisfying.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen them ask for donations as visibly as Wikipedia does. Sometimes there’s a small banner at the top of their website with a donate button. Currently, if you go to https://mozilla.org and scroll all the way down, there’s a “Donate” link in their footer.
Seems like they’re always kind of subtle about asking for donations – I wonder if they think that if they pushed for donations harder, it would just make more people use Chrome. (On the other hand, there is no real alternative to Wikipedia, so they can do the big banner once a year.)
Always sucks to have more tech layoffs.
The article mentions they’re “decreasing their investment” in Firefox Relay, which is a service for creating burner email addresses that get forwarded to your real email address. It’s honestly the best spam-prevention method I’ve ever used. If Mozilla decides to axe that project, I hope the Thunderbird team can somehow pick it up. Seems like it could be an opportunity for some recurring income for them.
23andMe was always a product with a very small upside and absolutely massive downside. Best case scenario, it’s a neat little thing to learn about yourself. Worst case scenario, it’s a massive opportunity for discrimination and blackmail.
Completely unrelated: for some reason, on kbin, the thumbnail for this article is the thumbnail for this youtube video, and that is a cooler thing than 23andMe by far.
The way that they pulled off this attack is interesting from a cybersecurity standpoint, but we can’t ignore the fact that Israel had no way of knowing who was near the devices when they exploded. They very nature of this attack made it impossible for Israel to know how closely they were targeting the bad guys or how many civilians were nearby.
