so no last minute deal with Steam and EA :(

As much as i would like to use steam, i find origin to be faster, downloading the game was quick, unlike steam where the speeds are crap. I do however not like having to have more than one game manager installed but im slowly moving away from steam anyways.

Damn - I would kill to have your guys fast internet connections :/

shaw internet in canada can't be touched... especially in NA, fatest in NA i'm pretty sure. 50mbs for 40 bucks a month, no problem. 350gb bandwidth allowance too :D

That's the impression I got from the community meeting I attended. I asked if it would be coming to Steam last minute, and he said "don't expect it by launch".

:( i'll just have to wait.

Umm...thats not correct. I have 50Mbps/5Mbps ($100) with Timewarner with no data cap. and I know Grande Cable here has a 110Mbps/5Mbps ($110) with no data cap ^_^

if i want to get picky, shaw has a 1000mb connection you can get too, all through a coax cable.

And that's damn expensive. I can get no cap for 15 dollars more i just never come close to the 350gb...

      The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc, with options to fine-tune their size and colors as desired. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had, taking time and effort to get back to the same graphics quality as the original offered, which I simply don't have enough of for merely fine-tuning my presentation titles. Same with the built-in picarts selection. Bring back the original pre-configured options for word art then I'll be using them far more frequently in my presentations even today.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      What didn't you understand about that was mainly referring to Google, Microsoft, etc. keeping your passwords. Password Management is a key service of Bitwarden and it's not going anywhere. In any case they do offer export to other Password management services, backup/download of passwords, and the already mentioned on-prem option. I don't agree with the OP to use the free option as it's better to be an actual customer IMO. They don't just don't delete accounts like the big tech companies with no recourse which was the main concern of this article. I was confused if the author was trying to sell this setup? It should be obvious to anyone reading this article this solution is overly complicated and overkill for most users.
    • Ads in Now Playing notifications on Spotify Android mobile app?

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?
