  1. The resigning thing just felt so forced and stupid... And all these corporations moaning how much they care about people. Hint... They don't. never have, never will. They only care about money.

  4. Sony reveals the design of the PS5, PS5 Digital Edition, and more

    What a wonky design. Looks like a Big Mac mated with a Storm Trooper. At least it’s not a monolith that won’t fit in my entertainment rack like the XB Series X. Sony and MicroSoft if you’re listening; please just give us black boxes which fit in with our AV equipment... thanks.

  5. Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G down to its lowest price yet on Amazon

    We still have 2 to 3 years until 5G will be mainstream. There really is no reason to buy a 5G phone in 2020.

  10. Sure, having all the settings in the world can be overwhelming, but on the other hand, you don't want fiasco Mozilla pulled with Firefox 75 and 77 where they stuck some idiotic oversized URL bar that pops up every time you click it and refuse to give users simple control over it. They are so dumb and arrogant about it they basically ###### off half of the remaining userbase with it and only way currently to turn off that garbage is to code CSS file, set a hidden switch in hidden settings and it'll go away. ######ing lunacy. I'd rather have overwhelming settings that give me simple control over that any day. And Vivaldi has that. Only thing that bothers me is that Protonmail (Unofficial) extension doesn't remember the login no matter what I tried and thus I can't use it. Also they currently don't have any app for iOS so no bookmarks syncing on my phone... They are allegedly working on it but release is still unknown. When they fix these two things, I'm probably switching. It was crude browser ages ago, but it has improved nicely since.

  16. Well I'm loving them at the moment lol. Got to give Epic credit, I thought this free games giveaway would only last a few months but they are relentless that at this rate, I might not have to buy any games again lol. Also, if this nudges Steam to get it's act together then great.

  22. Tried Vivaldi after every big update and all the articles praising it. Never got into it. It feels sluggish and gives an electron app vibe while using it. Also it has tons of customisations but even after changing several things it keeps looking like geeky 2010 style software when it comes to UI/UX

  23. Mozilla starts charging for Firefox Private Network browser extension

    Your linked article doesn't mention the CEO's salary. It mentions the chairperson Mitchell Baker, who is the highest-paid person and gets $1m per annum. And it mentions Tim Cook, who receives $102m per annum! Aside from that, there is a minimum salary law. And nobody is going to cut the salary of a CEO just because you enjoy being a freeloader.

  26. Again, I'm not complaining about them calling the medic. I'm pointing out the fact the cop could careless the damage he did by violently knocking the guy down. IMHO that is wrong. How is it an uncommon situation? Man walks up to a cop a few seconds later gets knocked on his ass, hard for no reason. I agree common sense varies between people but here we are with you arguing with me that my common sense is wrong and yours is right. From a different angle, How is pointing out the facts and asking a question is moving the "goalpost" and resorting to splitting hairs? Where did I make up motivations? Did the cop stop to see if the guy he knocked down is ok or not? Did one cop stop another cop from assisting or not? All I'm pointing out is (the lack of) human decency. If someone fell down next to you, would continue to walk away, or stop and see if that person is ok?

  27. Both of the cops that pushed him down had bodycams on them. I would think that if that video and audio justified their actions, that it would be released. It might surprise you that I am a fervent supporter of police officers. Heck, I even own a Blue Lives Matter flag. I am definitely *not* flying that flag right now. If evidence materializes that shows the police actions were justified, I will support them. At this point, I have not seen anything that excuses their actions.

  28. Eh. I don't care if the cop who shoved him did CPR, a craniectomy and the National Guard erected an EMEDS for him ... he still shouldn't have been shoved to the ground. Seems people are wanting to give the cops a cookie for calling for a medic after they needlessly injured him.

  30. Sony reveals the design of the PS5, PS5 Digital Edition, and more

    Looks dumb to me and definitely doesn't look like it'll last, the white plastic will likely change colour(but it'll likely come in other colours too, haven't really read the whole thing) and the fins at the top likely to bend/break, but it doesn't bother me, I was never going to purchase one, I am not the target audience.

  34. UK could switch to decentralised model for contact tracing app

    Almost everyone I know have said they won't install the app from the government, Google or Apple out of privacy issues and I have to wonder how many of the population are using it because I suspect the numbers are low and honestly, can't really blame them with the poor track record governments and companies have when it comes to people privacy.

  36. Launch 2020 brings a few new Windows 10 apps to the Microsoft Store

    I'd actually like to see a resource usage comparison of the 2 clients to see which launches faster and runs smoother. The official Discord desktop client is electron based and doesn't always run the best. Even without seeing hard numbers, I really just don't like the Discord UI, and Quarrel actually got me to install a Discord client on my PC

  37. So companies aren't allowed or supposed to diversify then? Because I don't hear you complaining about Microsft having products other than an operating system, or Nike making stuff other than sneakers or virtually every company on the planet that does something other than the one thing they went into business selling/creating.

  38. Recording Phone Calls

    currently there's no native way to record calls on iPhones There are jailbreak tools to enable it and I believe there is an audible tone when recording starts to comply with the countries that require the other person on the line to be aware they're being recorded by law. The United States is one of these countries which is why when you call any call center such as a tech support desk they always have to provide the "This call may be recorded" message and such. I believe I heard talks that iOS 14 might have native call recording; this will also have to comply with the notification laws if true

  39. Vivaldi browser gets a full-blown Notes Manager in the latest update

    Vivaldi started as a really good project - the customisation options are truly excellent, though I understand it may be too much for some. But all these additional features, I don't think they belong in a browser. All it does is slow it down and complicate the UI. They should make all these "features" as addons that you can install later. Their installer should offer an advanced option to just install the vanilla browser, and then any of the addons (like web panels, notes etc) on their own.

  42. Files UWP is a new modern file explorer app for Windows 10

    The way they evolved NTFS seems to return inaccurate aggregate folder size calculations -- "seems" is the keyword, I don't know exactly why but i vaguely recall similar discussions back in the Windows Longhorn days. Thats more trickier than any illiterate user can imagine, as there are at least 2 different sizes that should be displayed: 1 is the true size of the files, and the 2nd value would be the ALLOCATED size. Why these 2 differ? Because filesystem cluster allocation wastes some disk space (gets more visible if you store thousands of very small files), and the other more relevant reason is hardlinking of the same file into multiple instances: the file physically occupies storage space only 1 time, but virtually can be represented as multiple copies each taking up the full storage space, when in fact its not happening, but misleads the illiterate user in a split second. Thatswhy they think the WinSXS folder under c:\windows is so f.ing huge. But when you observer its folder size, you see the huge difference between REPORTED size and ACTUAL allocated space on disk. Thank you for the reminders (allocation v. actual, WinSXS) which greatly impact the common "file/folder size" discussion. I still hold out hope that widget-based Windows Explorer (concept developed during Longhorn) might actually return, so that we may customize any info panels based on the views/widgets we wish to add (e.g. disk management and NTFS flags visible from a small-size "File/Folder Info" panel). Longhorn is dead. There was no real reason we could not have had that information in live tiles on Start or theoretically somehow on the desktop. During the Longhorn dev cycle, they tried to cram all kinds of edge cases into the underlying NTFS... then start tinkering with UIs afterwards. Naturally that didn't pan out. Nowadays, they'd been working with ReFS (NTFS v.Future) to provide various extensibilities... so a redeveloped Windows Explorer could easily support both local-FS and remote-FS widgets... concepts they're already experimenting on with OneDrive's native Windows support.
