why would you do a lossy to lossy conversion when verything under the sun can play aac natively?

They could shoot it like Sin City

You don’t need iTunes to manage an iPod. There are tons of alternative apps, as well as plugins for music players like foobar2000 and Winamp.

iPods are still great. You can even replace their hard drives with modern flash storage and they work. It’s actually really impressive, i built a 256GB iPod Mini and iTunes has no problem with it. For the Mini, any compact flash card works as a drop-in replacement for the hard drive. Other models require a cheap adapter.

it’s also not a good way of actually figuring out who is critical.

you can have people who keep the lights on and if they do their job right few even notice they exist.

A website isn’t a common carrier, you cannot argue that a website isn’t allowed to control who they serve their content to. An ISP is a common carrier because they simply act as a dumb pipe between the provider (websites) and the consumer.

Cloudflare is a tool websites use to exercise that right, necessitated by the ever rising prevalence of bots and DDoS attacks. Your proposed definition of net neutrality would destroy anyone’s ability to deal with these threats.

Can you at least provide examples of legitimate users who are hindered by the use of Cloudflare?

I’ve always wondered, what do Comcast’s boots taste like?

Given that the FBI’s targets probably don’t type in Chinese or other logographic languages very often i doubt they care.

New Vegas is the best of the modern Fallout games, but toxic elements in its fan base are making me enjoy the game less and less each year. We should stop giving them the time of day.

The show is great, and these people are just fishing for nonsense to feed their persecution complex.

that is why spotify is a scam. it may be a good deal for you, the consumer, but it has made it even harder for artists to make money off their work.

Fanboy wars are exhausting, stupid, and unproductive.

You will be a happier person when you stop giving a shit about what phone or operating system someone else uses.

On Windows, NanaZip is even better. It’s a fork of 7zip focused on performance and UI improvements.

It’s not exactly hard for me to make “backups” of most games I can download, as the DRM is usually cracked within weeks or months of release.

A single player game that is exclusive to streaming would just be gone forever the instant it gets delisted.

you can game on high end equipment without buying it.

This is how they get you to give up ownership of your games. I’m fine with it as an option, but I fear that one day publishers will decide it should be the only option.

This is about GeForce Now, their streaming service.

I have a Secretlab chair that I like. Which model is right for you depends on your size. I paid about $500 for mine. They often have $100 off coupons.

I often see some pretty comfortable chairs at Costco for < $300, if you live near one. The savings on the chair alone would more than cover the cost of a 1 year membership.

This presumes that the only way to add substance to a film is through dialogue.

Tacking a license to the end of a comment posted to just about any website does not actually change how the sites content is licensed.

Analog telephony was still built on a complex automated network. Those rooms full of operators manually connecting callers by plugging in physical wires haven’t been a thing for 70 years. They even started going digital in the ‘60s.
