If your web site is part of Vox Media or Condé Nast then you might want to consult your lawyers, but as I understand it this particular law would not apply to those which don't have either $millions in revenue or a habit of sharing information about their users. Any danger posed by it to the more smol parts of the web would be would be more indirect, depending on the long-term social consequences of normalizing the idea of age verification.
Rather strange that they take the trouble to estimate what the equivalent of all this oil and gas would be in terms of coal, but don't actually count coal itself. I guess there is a certain tendency if you live in a country where coal mining has been on the decline for decades to assume that the same is true in the rest of the world.
At once very impressive and so completely inadequate as to be almost entirely useless. This is the pace we're going at when we haven't even got near the difficult part that will come when the low-hanging fruit is gone.
One forecaster says that China might reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 0% from today's levels by 2030, significantly overachieving compared to its goal of continuing to increase them until then.
VGA might've done that to get better resolution at 60 Hz, but I'm pretty sure earlier systems including CGA and the Amiga did 60 fps non-interlaced video at lower resolutions. At least the Amiga also had a higher-resolution interlaced video mode, but it was mostly used for displaying impressive-looking static images.
They'll outlive humanity for sure. You think the robots that some day exterminate us aren't going to be into memes? They have no flesh, no emotions, no hormones, no guts. They'll be all about the memes, it's all they got.
It comes directly from television. Early home PCs used televisions for displays, and by the 1980s TVs were generally capable of 60 fps (or 50 for regions that used PAL) so that's what the computers generated. Everyone got used to it. And of course like everyone else said you don't want to be adding more latency in games by not keeping up with that basic standard.
A good review but from what I remember of the game I would add that the "quick-time events" can be annoying. Do not play if you can't handle scenes of gratuitous button mashing.
Don't these pirates know that their illegal schemes to make unauthorized copies and recordings of things causes EUR 3.19 trillion in financial damage to rights owners every year? It seems they will never learn, so we will need new laws. Mandatory client-side scanning for copyrighted material must be built in to all cameras and phones, or our whole economy will surely collapse.
It's quite good. I'd rate it the second most essential browser extension, after uBlock Origin.
