  1. Politicians need to stop looking for easy answers and stop pandering. Violent computer games are sold worldwide, millions of people play them, many/most are not out carjacking. Poverty, access to firearms, low education standards, unemployment. All thing that have a much more significant impact on crime levels. Its cowardly showmanship and insulting to their constituents to simply say: Yeah its because of Fortnite.

  2. If GTA makes me good at carjackings, does that mean FIFA makes me good at football? Dang, I should have used my Freelancer skills to apply to NASA...

  3. > Apparently, similarities were observed between real-life carjacking attempts and those carried out in video games. Could that have something to do with the fact that carjackings in games are based on how you'd do it in real-life rather than the other way around? I propose we ban violent life instead.

  4. GTA taught me all I need to know about car-jacking: I just stand in the way of oncoming traffic, walk up to a vehicle and press the triangle button.

  5. USA is funny. Violence in always the fault of video games or rock music. Never the fact that you can get guns with Kinder chocolate eggs.

  6. The funniest thing about that is that Kinder eggs are banned in the USA because of the danger posed by a small plastic toy inside the egg.

  9. "The Quick System Drive Benchmark is a shorter test with a smaller set of less demanding real-world traces that is designed for smaller system drives that are unable to run the Full System Drive benchmark." So 1TB isn't enough? Sounds like a dirty trick intel are playing... like usual

  10. Makes sense. It's admirable that they wanted to fix the game. But not enough fans cared for it to begin with. Hopefully they (and EA) understand they need to focus on their core strength. EA bought a legendary single player RPG studio and made them develop a multiplayer looter shooter with light RPG elements. It's the sort of terrible business practice we can expect from EA. And ik doubtful Bioware van recover at this point but at least now they have a fighting chance.

  11. It sure sounds like this brand new GTA series of games that just came out for the first time this year and not 24 years ago must truly be responsible for the recent rise in carjackings...

  12. Then I hope these Exynos chips are designed for desktops and aren't just hand-me-downs from their mobile line. I'd love to see something that dwarfs Microsoft's SQ2 while also not costing a small fortune.

  13. Liberals are not left, they are centrist at best. And jesus christ that article is politically & economically illiterate, not that I expected much from cringe reactionary tabloid trash like "americanthinker"... which btw had to admit to spreading election lies to avoid being owned in court. Maybe they should be called "americancuck" now. Lol.

  19. This was a feature for Word on desktop, actually! I think even all the way back to Word 97? But you have to find the button now and add it to a custom group/tab on the Ribbon, Microsoft hid it away. (And it doesn't seem to work now either, I just tried it. PowerPoint throws an error.) So I'm a bit surprised that they decided to bring this onto the web.

  28. LG is now licensing its webOS smart TV platform to other brands

    Probably because your TVs are from different years, so each one of them has different WebOS versions. They only launch newer versions of WebOS to the newest TV models. For instance, WebOS 4 is used on LG TVs from 2018 and 2019. WebOS 5 is used on 2020 TVs and WebOS 6 will only be available in the 2021 models.

  29. This again? I remember "movies are bad" from the turn of the century (Matrix, etc), the last "videogames are bad" craze back in the 90s, "D&D is bad" in the 80s and "hard rock is bad" in the 70s. I'm sure a couple hundred years ago somebody was pointing their fingers at those new fangled photograph things because Timmy stole a horse. People like to point fingers everywhere except where they belong.. the parents. Bad parents raise bad kids.

  30. Let's assume for a minute that video games are indeed to blame. (Okay, funny assumption, but for the sake of argument, let's assume.) You take away video games from people. What do you give them instead? What are people supposed to do with the time they previously spent playing video games? Committing crimes, perhaps? Or watching violent movies instead? When you take away something bad, you must put something good in its place instead. Otherwise, something eventually takes its place, and it might be just worse.

  34. Microsoft releases Windows 10 build 21322 with a bunch of fixes

    If you are that hard up for 50mb of drive space, you have more to worry about than these Apps. Pro Tip, don't open or use them, and pretend like they don't exist. Like Magic. I agree that the disk space would be negligible. But at the same time, I've not understood why these particular tools are bundled in to the standard image. I can't imagine they are used by the majority of the userbase, or that in my years as an administrator I've ever seen anything in the 3D objects folder. That's not to say that they do not get used, but perhaps they should be "removed" from the default build, and instead included as a feature that can be enabled for those that do use them, like the RSAT currently is?

  42. Firefox 86.0

    Firefox is my primary browser since version 3 although I tried to use Chrome for awhile but the customization is unlike what I can do with Firefox. I think Firefox is best suited for a power user. I have a total of 18 add-ons running everyday on my Firefox and I love it!

  43. I just hope it is as good (if not better) as the Quest 2 at approx same price point. If it is could really kick start the VR revolution with much larger audience. Think wired is still a good move, not enough processing power and battery life in standalone headsets for next gen graphics.

  45. I remember when I had installed Windows 7 on my Windows Vista HP laptop and taken it to the HP service center for a hardware flaw and the cheats refused to honor warranty for changing the OS. That's when I decided to never buy another HP again.

  49. Very interesting and cool. That being said, I'm with George Carlin on this one,leave nature alone. Animals have become extinct well before man was a stain on a sheet. It's a good thing we weren't around to save the dinosaurs. 😃 Disclaimer: I'm not saying that poaching is ok or any other wanton killing of animals for profit. Curbing those kinds of things with regulation is fine and doesn't apply to my latter statement.
