I know this is off topic, but Vance and the other guy in the background look very confused about what's being said.

Trump needs artificial intelligence because he has none of his own.

... but not if you support a group that protests against genocide.

I chose Mullvad because they don't ask for any personal details and you can pay anonymously, which means that their service is privacy protecting by design. You don't have to rely so much on trust.

Proton seems to be a large and rapidly expanding company which looks like it's trying to be a more privacy respecting competitor to Google's many services. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, I prefer companies that value stability over rapid expansion. I also don't like relying on a potential single point of failure for everything. I have a Proton e-mail account but I don't use any of their other services because I don't want everything in the same place.

Good to know. Thanks. It's crazy they didn't do this from the beginning.

If he wanted to, Elon Musk could personally fund this five times over and still have a few billion left.

Nothing demonstrates innocence quite like trying to stop an investigation.

This can also be achieved just by changing DuckDuckGo's settings using the menu in the top-right corner of the page and can turn off other things including adverts if you want to.

She is still at school and the article states that she has missed two weeks of classes already ahead of her final exams. There is a quote from the headteacher of her school stating “She is currently missing taught lessons across all subjects and is at risk of missing important assessments, including GCSE exams.” In this case it's not just 'framing' but an important detail.

Someone once said "don't let perfection be the enemy of good" ... or something like that.

Anyway, my point is it's good that this kind of stuff is starting to get into mainstream media, even if they don't go into as much detail as they could.

They might not have wanted to scare people off by giving them too much information all at once, especially things like the Fediverse which even lots of tech savvy people don't really understand.

Just piggy backing this comment to save people a click. A mercury-arc valve is used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). It probably got a WTF for how weird it looks and how it looks like a crystal ball when it's working.

Describing volume dials as "retro" is setting a very low bar for what can be considered retro. Also, it should have been super obvious to car makers from the start that using a touchscreen for almost everything was a really bad idea! As others have pointed out, you need to be able to control the car without having to take your eyes off the road for more than a couple of seconds.

It kinda reads like Orwell wanted to write an essay on the subject but thought it would get a larger audience if he wrote it as a novel. I read it about twenty years ago and even back then it was terrifying just how many of the predictions had already come true.

You can use protondb.com to look up those games to see if they work using Steam's Proton compatibility layer.

The Sims 3 worked for me but just make sure it's installed on the same drive as Steam or it may not work properly. The launcher sometimes didn't work either but there are workarounds for that.

I would probably buy it (when it's on sale at a reasonable price!) if it wasn't for the poor treatment of their employees and alleged attempts at union busting.

The headline is a bit premature. They have only threatened to pull out if Israel takes part.

You could even say they're great tits!

I'm still pissed at what Ubisoft did to Rainbow Six after Raven Shield!

It may be because the basic account is so much cheaper (€1/mo) that they offset it with higher prices for additional storage. Just out of genuine curiosity, why would anyone need that much storage for e-mail?

best-looking warship anywhere on the world’s oceans.

The enemy are going to be so stunned by it's beauty they won't shoot at it!
