Touching fingers! Disgusting.

黄油 are the symbols for both “butter” and “grease”. In this context, the correct translation would be grease, not butter.

The deal Microsoft does with OEMs gives them a discount only if they pay Microsoft for every PC they sell, whether or not it actually comes with Windows.

Apple Music pays more than Spotify. It’s probably still not “decent”, but it’s more.

Both DVD and blu-ray support branching paths the user can select, so I guess, why not both? Let the viewer pick.

Don’t post these kind of shit clickbait headlines.

I have 10 reasons why not, and number 3 will shock you.

Of all the things I thought Star Trek would never reference, Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace was pretty high up there.

What the hell are you watching that has a bitrate of >100Mb? Because unless you have a 16K television I suspect the answer is nothing.

Sure! I’d be happy to.

The satellites operate in an extremely low orbit. At the end of their life they are manually de-orbited. If they fail, they will naturally de-orbit themselves in just a few years. They contribute to “space junk” in no way.

The precise position of all the Starlink satellites is known, and space is much bigger than you appear to be imagining, so the network will in no way impede lauching rockets.

There is no need to simply make stuff up about Starlink. There are plenty of reasons to hate Elon without inventing things.

This is a complete non story. They have a design life of only a few years. They have already been replaced in orbit with upgraded ones.

Total clickbait.

Not surprising, but nice to see.

Because famously you can get Doom to run on things with a screwdriver.

So I guess this means KDE will stop working on Nvidia GPUs with the Nvidia drivers.

Apple only provides usb 3.1 speeds on iPhone Pro and only if you buy a new cable from Apple.

You don’t have to keep repeating this made-up lie. While it’s true that it only comes with a USB 2.0 cable, you don’t have to buy a USB 3 cable from Apple. Any USB 3 cable will work just fine.

This is asinine. Apple has shown a strong commitment to supporting particular standards for extended periods. For example, the iPhone’s 30-pin connector was maintained for over 10 years. Similarly, the Lightning port, its successor, has also been around for about a decade. (And, it should be noticed, started being used two years BEFORE USB-C existed.) Additionally, Apple has supported the Thunderbolt standard throughout its life cycle.

Apple has always been judicious about the ports it adopts. The company is not known for having a plethora of ports catering to multiple generations of connector technologies. Instead, when Apple picks a standard, it tends to go all in. Take the case of USB-A: Apple was one of the early adopters of this technology and supported it for approximately 20 years before making the switch to USB-C. To put this in perspective, the time between the USB Mini to Micro switch and the Micro to USB-C transition was shorter than the lifespan of Apple’s 30-pin and Lightning connectors.

It’s unreasonable to assume that Apple would restrict the cables that can be used in a standard USB-C port. The USB-C standard is built on the principle of universal compatibility. Restricting this would not only break with the standard but also limit the very advantages that have made USB-C popular among consumers and manufacturers alike.

Who will explain the concept of a plotter to you?

You won’t believe how much better it gets!

Star Trek TNG.

It’s literally Season 3, too.

Annoyingly, there are one or two really good episodes in Seasons 1 and 2. But the majority are total crap.

Damn, just give them some money. Journalism is important.

A headline with “quietly” in it is guaranteed to be clickbait.

“Quietly” means “They told everyone but we want you to be more outraged.”
