  1. I assume they'll also be suspending donations to those who voted against election certification in 2016, 2004, and 2000? No? How odd.

  2. Intel Evo vs Apple Silicon part four: Hardware compatibility

    The M1 is better for some use cases. It's not power users or gamers. It's a great chip for laptop users but is held back for no real support for multiple monitors. Intel is not really quacking in their boots due it is really limited to primarily MacOS users. I am looking to buy a new laptop later this year and will consider a M1x Mac but I also have a Linux/Windows desktop PC. i'd love to see intel quacking in it's boots. LIKE A DUCK. no pen support touch screen or detachable keyboard means every mac is dead to me.

  3. Intel Evo vs Apple Silicon part four: Hardware compatibility

    I ran an eGPU on my '18 intel Mac Mini (as do many intel Mac users). Worked great, most of the time and gave me some really good graphics, cause the graphics Apple was getting from intel was ######. You bought a Mini PC looking for "really good" graphics? Where did he say he bought it looking for "really good" graphics? "I ran an eGPU on my '18 intel Mac Mini (as do many intel Mac users).

""I ran an eGPU on my '18 intel Mac Mini (as do many intel Mac users).

Nowhere did he say he bought the Mac Mini for its graphical prowess. Just that it sucked, and he used an eGPU to get around it.

    I'm quite liking the drip-feeding of information. The fact they are letting the story determine the run-length rather than fitting to a standar "Every episode has to be x minutes long" is no concern for me.

  14. Trump dictatorship? ; that's a bit of a stretch as it's the left who wants to remain in permanent power and just about everyone is helping there to make that easier since they are heavily biased against Trump who's clearly overall better for the country than Biden is. because it does not take a genius to figure out that if Trump made the economy better etc, which he obviously did, and Biden pretty much reverses everything Trump did, which he will, it's going to put the country back into the toilet (with Biden, America is not #1 like it was with Trump). but like I say, if a republican never wins again, it will be obvious what happened, which basically started in Nov 2020. like some saying I heard goes, which goes something like... "if you silence what someone has to say, it does not prove that they were a liar, only that you fear what they have to say" ; the left routinely does this when people say stuff they don't like. but if they had nothing to hide/fear, why censor opposing views? ; probably because the truth is generally not on their side so they got to resort to shady tactics to "win".

  15. Well someone has to do something. Certain sections of the media openly supported those attempting to turn the U.S in to a Trump dictatorship with the failed coup. I also like the following initiative, "Microsoft also highlighted that some of its employees expressed interest in donating funds to work that will tackle and resolve issues related to democracy and politics, rather than political candidates. To that end, the company has announced a separate "Democracy Forward Initiative" which will fund organizations engaged in the aforementioned activities" Well done Microsoft. It would be helpful if the other tech giants joined the Democracy Forward Initiative as well. Combined it could become a genuine force to encourage change and encourage the far right to back away from their violent sedition.

  19. Intel Evo vs Apple Silicon part four: Hardware compatibility

    Honestly, if Apple can aim to beat out Intel CPU + AMD GPU in their previous Macs, then nobody will have a problem with them not having a dedicated graphics option. Otherwise, I can't see current Mac users "upgrading" to something that is worse or on par, unless there's a cost savings associated with it. (e.g. performance for a much lower price and power usage)

    Because some are more secure than others. My Protonmail account is locked and remains locked I lose 2FA access. The only recourse is a recovery code. Most "unrecoverable" 2FA models give you a collection of recovery codes in the event you lose access.

    While the last ep ending was interesting there is still a lack of content IMO. 30min eps are just not cool and I'm to the point I'll likely stop watching till its all done. I'd rather they would have made a movie vs what they've done and just released it on Disney+. It seems very good, just not a fan of how they are breaking it up with such little available each week with 20mins of credits on top of it.

  23. Couple of darkside fixes in the news site

    Thanks to some bug fixing work by @Redmak the comments (and reply to comment) box is now dark instead of eye blindingly white 😂😂 Prev / Next articles are now stacked and stand out a bit more below articles Earlier this week @DaveLeggremoved some javascript and cleaned up some code that was no longer used (for example we now only use one advertiser to display in page ads, before it was two, which required two sets of javascripts). For guests we completely removed the CKeditor javascript from loading in the background (some 500kb) this was overlooked and a bug, because guests could never comment so it makes no sense to load the editor at all. A future update will add some lazy loading, so that certain heavier elements (like the editor) will only load once they are in focus on the page. BTW a little known fact is that guests can enable Darkside on our news site with the theme icon toggle at the top of the right rail sidebar: It's also at the top right of all articles (except reviews, which are full width pages).

    Samsung devices get One UI updates months later, while there's 3.1 already, they will release that less optimized 3.0 to non-S21 devices. Instead, they should just skip 3.0. Shouldn't be that difficult.

  30. Because it used to be clean and then it changed. AFAIK Google does not re-review every single update, that would be impossible. Apple manages it fine with every app update submitted to the app store. Mozilla manages it fine with every extension update submitted to their extension place Yep, Apple does really well considering the size of the store in terms of Apps and worldwide user use. (The rest of this is general thoughts, not directly in response to your post n_K. I didn't realize I had typed as much as did, as I tend to do.) Microsoft also used to have extensive screening, but I don't know the current policies. Part of the design of WinRT/UWP was to allow server side scanning for malware along with external calls that were legitimate to be caught and updated. (Example: Button1 opens http://www.donkey.com/funstuff which goes with the App. Three months later, the App doesn't change, but http://www.donkey.com/funstuff now goes to something bad or grabs malware, etc. Obviously a bit more complicated than tracking http requests, so use your imagination beyond my generic example.) I don't know how proactive Apple is with external link/call tracking, but I would assume just as diligent as they are with Apps. The problem with iOS Apps, is Apple can't scan the entirety of the code at a level to identify malware behavior beyond what anti-viral software can. However, as Microsoft has enabled non UWP content, they also have the same problem now. I agree, EVERYONE that has a store should be held liable for some things, in a way they can't use a user agreement to bypass. (In free market theory, a company would do this to get the trust of their users and protect them. However, seeing how Google works in a semi-mono-ecosystem, the 'consumer decides' theory, is more mythical than accurate. 'Consumers decide' is more mythical in most consumerism, as the supply is not free and heavily controlled. If anyone things this is false, go buy a Video card from someone that isn't AMD/NVidia and has the same level of technology they offer. I'm not anti-capitalism btw, just anti unfettered capitalism, as it is closer to feudalism than a free system.

The difference is simple: Democrats fought an election because of information provided by a russian agent through a british spy. They spent 4 years investigating based on that one report. Democrats don't trust THOUSANDS of Americans claiming they saw fraud in various places and mountains of questionable activity. The difference is the left trusts Russians more than Americans.

  42. Google starts paying Australian publishers under its News Showcase program

    Australian regulators: From now on, you're not allowed to take our contents without paying. Google: What? You want me to pay? Why? I can always throw a tantrum. Waaaah! Somebody call a Wambulance! I wanna leave the Australian market. Australian regulators: We don't respond to threats. Hey, Microsoft! Wanna take Google's place? Google: (Tsk!

  43. Google starts paying Australian publishers under its News Showcase program

    Nothing. I think it opened the floodgates. What was it, Spain? Where Google shut down GNews and most publication's traffic dropped significantly? I mean, if I want to know something I go to Google News, search the topic and then go to a specific website. I would caution anyone using only Google News for sourcing, as there are issues with bombing and bounce effects, along with Google's own focus shift of how the algorithm picks content for you. I know a conspiracy researcher that found Google was presenting some insane stuff as it adapted to their past searches and clicks. (Hit another engine or pick a few news sources that have to adhere to journalism standards. US Newspapers for example are more solid than other mediums. Even the crazy Left/Right papers will do facts, and retractions and keep opinion well labeled.

  46. Intel Evo vs Apple Silicon part three: Setting up the peripherals

    I see some conflict of interest here given that Intel has provided all the stuff. It would have been better to have someone that has no horse in this race to sponsor it to lend more credibility to the claim that its the author's independent opinion. Intel sent peripherals that don't work well with the M1. For a balanced comparison, they should've included some Apple ecosystem stuff like an iPhone, iPad, and AirPods. Continuity, Handoff and Sidecar don't work on Windows machines.

    bootcamp is the only way to get it working properly. otherwise it won't create the boot entries in a way the Mac EFI can read. as far as not detecting the installer on the USB maybe it's a compatibility issue; been awhile since I've done a bootcamp setup but can't you select the actual ISO file too if you just have that? you could also try mounting the ISO through command line instead of using a USB to rule out a compatibility issue with the USB drive https://www.howtogeek.com/tips/how-to-mount-an-iso-image-in-mac-os-x/
