I swear everytime Twitch updates their policies for clarity, they just get even more confusing.

I don't generally force a pitch for different genders if that's what you're talking about. If I'm doing a voice, it'll be in the accent and/or volume more and maybe the mannerisms.

There are a few things I consider when picking gender in a game.

• Is the character voice acted? Which voice actor do I think performs better?
• is the game third person? Which gender has the better look in armor/clothing in the game?
• Does the game feature romance? If so, then I almost always pick my own gender for a first playthrough at least.
• Which gender do I think the plot of the game will be more compelling for?

In tabletop D&D, gender tends to be the last thing I choose in a character (as opposed to video games that usually want it to be your first choice), and I basically just look at the made character including personality and backstory and realize that it's more interesting or fun to play as one gender or the other.

For using onenote in Linux, I just made an app out of the web version in Epiphany/GNOME Web. It's not as smooth as a real app, but it's functional. I expect you could do it with Chromium too.

To me, in both scenarios, it makes sense to get back the original number, because 0 equal parts and zero inches wide leaves the original pizza untouched

To illustrate why it's not the original number, ask yourself this question — "How many times can you slice a pizza such that each slice is 0 inches wide?"

Yes, you're leaving the pizza untouched with each slice, so you will never stop slicing. Or, you will say zero, because slices that are 0 inches wide are not slices at all. Or you'll just say it can't be done.

I mean, if you bundle them you just end up with "new cable", so not great there either.

Sounds like it's something Apple could easily kill by changing something in the protocol that would require it to be re-reverse engineered.

This is the type of processor companies want in things like VM servers that host large numbers of VMs.

GPU processing units are really good at only specific kinds of computation. These are still all-around processors.

Non-competes aren't a thing in California. OpenAI obviously own the IP, but that doesn't mean an investor like MS wouldn't have enough rights to effectively take it and build from it.

Altman and Brockman were the founding leadership of the company/organization and many of these employees are "rockstar" researchers. They wanted to be a part of what they were leading — so it makes sense they still would even if it's under Microsoft.

The Chagos Refugees are seeking repatriation of the .io domain name and fees. They likely don't want people to stop using that domain unless they lose that case.

I'm not going so far as to say I'd switch -- but I'd certainly get an iPhone and give it a try if it had sideloading/other app stores allowed (which in turn would allow other browser engines, since that's a store limitation). Would love to see an F-Droid equivalent for iOS start up.

Right, I said Warner has Max for their streaming service.

Comcast has mostly moved over to using Peacock already, I think. Warner Bros is also separated with Max. And of course Amazon/MGM is doing their own thing as well.

Unless this is an indictment of the charging infrastructure build out (in which case — fair), this doesn't make sense. You don't scale back after early adoption — you scale up to mass market.

The US makers scaling back could seriously hamper EV growth now that EV tax credits require assembly in the US. Sounds to me like they need more regulatory incentive to make the production switch.

Nvidia's ARM play has always been primarily in AI and vehicles. Tegra has a number of successors — just not in consumer devices.

• chromium (backed up by Google, sucking big money)
• blink (baked up by apple, with big money too)

Blink = Chromium. WebKit is what Apple uses (and is what Blink was originally forked from).

They have the app on f-droid too

Doesn't appear to be the case - https://search.f-droid.org/?q=grayjay&lang=en

I don't think they can be on F-Droid with the license they use.

Google doesn't do anything with Firefox except pay them for searches and to be the default search upon install — which takes 2 seconds to change if you want to.

I could see them releasing hardware that's tied to a subscription that Windows would track, perhaps, or offering subscription as a payment model for Windows.

You're right, though I can't see a straight migration to subscription-only happening. They haven't even gotten Office to subscription-only yet, despite their wish to.
