  • I've been using a Sunbeam flip phone for a year or so. Paid for the phone up front, and pay $3/mo for use of maps, speech recognition, and continued bugfixes.

    Even if phones never got new features, dev time still needs to be committed to security updates, and services (like Siri) need to be paid for. The model of getting 100% of your revenue from new phone sales is starting to break. If I could pay $3/mo for Siri or whatever and never have my phone go obsolete, I think that'd be a good deal.

  • The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

    He pardons specific offences, not entire types of crimes.

  • I spent the whole 40 minutes watching this video earlier today, and it seems like nobody commenting has.

    This is not lamenting the death of capitalism. It's simply talking about how the average person no longer gets to participate in capitalism.

  • Coworker's story: Trying to fix a prototype in a hotel room at a European trade show. Soldering iron on hand, but it was a 120V iron and glowed white hot when plugged into a 240V outlet.

    So they had one person solder and the other person keep unplugging and replugging the iron from the wall at roughly 25% 50% duty cycle.

  • Friend's desktop was so fried from Kazaa and Limewire, that he couldn't even open a Windows explorer window. Ended up opening Notepad and copying all of his files to a thumbdrive using the file open dialog box before reformatting.

  • It’s actually an ongoing problem with closed source Linux games. Devs don’t want to update, and don’t want to open source.

    A lot of the time the Windows version will play better through Proton/Wine.
