No, after Brave installed a service level running VPN without my consent, and continued to reinstall it silently every background update even after removal, it's a bad browser. That's what malware does.

Comparing two companies with poor track records doesn't make them good companies when compared to each other.

Doesn't work on Nintendo, for some reason. Mario Tax expanded to anything first or second party, so the best you'll see is $20 off new price on Mar10 for the games that came out 5 years ago. It's like every retailer came to the agreement that Nintendo games don't depreciate.

I hate timers on games that give you little guidance. People claim that Fallout 1's timer is too lenient, but I ended up replaying (and failing) the game twice and still not coming close to finding the water chip. Also, the game constantly reminds you "We're all dying, hurry up! Every minute you take is an other life lost!". Same reason I dislike Lightning Returns.

Everytime this game got ported, I'd retry it. I'd get over the bridge, get into town, fight the pirates, earn the boat... and get completely lost.

I wonder how this compares to OpenShot.

I use OpenShot to trim stuff that LosslessCut can't properly manage, but whenever I use OpenShot I seem to crash it at least once.

you made me picture a Back to the Future remake with a Tesla Truck as the time machine...

What Monkey's Paw curse did I just trigger?

I sooo want to play the crappy Armored Core mobile games, but they seem lost to time.

I always thought UHD used a different laser than standard blu-ray, but only just found out it was a trick of h265 encoding and triple layer discs.

Based on the mini-BD format, assuming triple layer, the upper limit would have been around 24GB.

Now you've got me curious what capacity a UMD form factor could achieve with a UHD Blu-ray laser.

Yes/No. Both Sony and Microsoft have quality control processes to ensure that whatever is published is going to play on first entry of the disc.

That said, publishers use A LOT of workarounds. Day 1 patches to "finish" the game. Download code inserts. And as of recent, mandatory online server check-ins. As far as I'm aware, Nintendo is the only one who allows publishing half the product with required download.

I'm curious, did you dig around the BIOS/UEFI to see if there are any ACPI power states that can be disabled?

I had a very similar issue and turning off S3 worked around it. Of course, that meant higher power usage during sleep but it was a compromise over buying new hardware.

I'm afraid to find out how many people are still downloading OpenOffice, thinking it's the same software they heard about back in 2010.

not my words. It's the Valve dev who said it.

Funny, I just saw an article saying don't get too excited about Linux gaming boosts because apparently Wine doesn't use ntsync yet, and Valve already worked around ntsync by implementing the faster fsync in SteamOS.

Full replacement. It virtualizes the memory card as an image on the SD card. That lets you create whatever size you want, and cycle through them as well.

IIRC the second version allows you to manage it via WiFi.

if you are looking at previously owned stuff... Don't touch any of the third party memory cards. Look for official Sony 8MB MagicGate cards.

If you're looking for modern solutions, go with a MemCard PRO which should allow you to save your games to SD cards. Then you can backup the SD card wherever you want.

It's right there in the link. It sold more than Witcher 3, even though it did the wrong thing by releasing early and buggy.
