Look, I dislike Apple's walled-garden as much as the next guy, but let's give credit where it's due. Apple has been phenomenal at supporting its older devices, much longer than most Android manufacturers. The iPhone 7 only recently stopped getting updates, and it was from 2016. The standard for Androids is still 2 years, so when it comes to long term device support, the point undeniably goes to Apple.

If you read the article, it says he arrived last May.

Anker's peripherals have always worked great for me

You know that you don't have to declare copyright in every comment you make, yeah? All I can think of is the "Tryin' to make a change :-/" SMS signature meme.

Have fun consuming media then

The glass transition temperature (the temperature where plastic starts to become malleable) of PETG is 85°C, so if you put a PETG spoon in boiling water, it would deform and become pretty useless. However, if you used a high temperature plastic with a glass transition point above 100°C, you might be able to get away with this method.

Also, just to clarify, a dishwasher does not get to 100°C. You could use it to get the initial food off, but you would then need to boil the utensils manually on a stove to actually sterilize them.

You will need a bank account to do pretty much anything in adult life. So, I would recommend opening an account at a local credit union. Credit unions are small and owned by their members, so they won't sell your info to anyone or send you ads. There are many other pros to using a credit union instead of a large bank, but privacy is a big one.

How would that affect battery life? The battery would charge a little slower since some power is being used by the screen, but the slower charging would actually improve battery life slightly.

Counterpoint: a used PS5 will probably run $450, and including the cost of a TV isn't fair because basically everybody already has one (you'd have to factor in the cost of a monitor too if you want a fair comparison).

Building a new PC is likely to be less cost effective if you only plan to use it for games, and if you're building your first PC and can't carry over components like storage and the chassis. The initial investment will pay off in the future, but not everyone has $800 to throw into a PC all at once.

Finally, saying that a mainline console like the PS5 will be "trash" in 5 years is objectively wrong. Modern consoles are often supported for 7-8+ years, and even after that point, they will continue to play all the games they did before.

I agree that a PC is generally a better investment than a console like the PS5. But you shouldn't make that argument by being disingenuous or exaggerating the downsides of what you're arguing against.

Uhh, I think you're misinterpreting what the OP said. In the body of the post is literally "screw Fox News, let people celebrate what they want" which is the opposite of "war on Christmas".

Unfortunately, you can sue anyone for any bogus reason you want. And if you have more money than whoever you're suing, it doesn't matter how frivolous it is, because you can just bankrupt them by forcing them to pay lawyer fees.

In theory, StarLink would have been faster because they use many low-orbit satellites as opposed to a handful of further-away geostationary satellites like HughesNet. But "faster speeds" isn't everything and this money is meant to expand actual broadband/optical internet.

A link to a different page that happens to have a download for something copyrighted is not itself DMCA-able. Well, in theory you could DMCA anything you want, and some companies are way too overzealous about it and fall into the "abusing the system" category, but I can't imagine that this post would ever fall under their spotlight.

If anything, the Internet Archive would be served the DMCA request, because they're the ones actually hosting the game files.

There is an "Adobe Master Collection 202X" crack (where X is the current year) that includes all the current Adobe programs and a custom installer made in the style of the old Creative Suite installer. I believe it's by m0nkrus, or at least that's who uploads it to the private tracker I use. They release several new ones throughout the year so you can keep the programs up to date, and obviously the installer lets you choose which of the programs you want to install.

Umm... No? That's quite a conclusion to jump to when a quick Google search would show that no such thing exists.

I swear, sometimes this community can be as bad as anti-vaxxers when it comes to pulling shit out of their ass and stating it as fact.

Exactly. Also, screenshots can easily be doctored. An embedded tweet could not be, since you could easily click the link to see the original tweet.

No, only if you've overclocked and the fault is one that could be caused by overclocking. Honestly, I think it's absolutely fair for them to not replace a CPU if you killed it yourself by running it outside of spec. Most manufacturers would just say you're SOL if your CPU dies and it's ever been overclocked, even if the issue is unrelated, so I think this is a pretty good policy for them to have.

Granted, it's possible that they could always say that it was the overclocking that killed it whenever the fuse is blown, but considering how heavily AMD leans into customer good-will and positive sentiment about the company, they will probably try their best to honor any legitimate warranty claims.

Sure! You can get an iPod classic that's had the storage upgraded, and I've heard it's a really great option for people who don't want to use their phone or online services for music.

Are... Are you actually suggesting that "the internet" is a viable substitute for the UN?

They likely DO get a copyright claim. But a claim doesn't necessarily mean that your video gets removed. YouTube gives the copyright claimer the choice for what to do with videos they claim, which can include removing them, leaving them visible but taking any profit made from ads on the video, splitting the ad revenue, or just leaving it alone.

I do absolutely agree that removing a video for having a song in the background is bullshit. Just wanted to give an explanation for the inconsistency.
