DRM is optional on Steam and up to the game developer.
Well in this case MasterCard is claiming it wasn't them, but their intermediary.
I assume all those intermediaries have to pass on the same ToS to their customers otherwise that seems like a very unusual move.
There is an easy profile toggle
Wasn't it still "unlimited" for photos uploaded before the cut-off? That's quite reasonable for a free service vs. "paid lifetime".
If you disable defender using group policy, from my experience that's been disabled consistently for a year no problems. Latest version of Windows 10.

Note you need to disable tamper protection and reboot first otherwise it silently reenables itself.

What did you think of the Pixel 5? It's only 0.5cm taller and otherwise more or less identical in dimensions.

Google commited to five years of security updates for the Pixel 6. It was one of their big selling points for the device.

When individual windows are ungrouped their application name is displayed, so you can just look for the name of the document or window you're looking for. I miss this feature too.
How is hole punching more secure than UPnP? They both achieve exactly the same thing.

That's still true afaik and really helped with adoption.
Re:FarPlay: Low-Latency Audio over the Internet on Thursday November 25, 2021 @04:43AM (#29339790)
You should be getting considerably less latency than that. Is the Discord server perhaps set to the wrong region?
Was this realms? I thought Minecraft worlds were stored locally.
That foreign language thing is genius. I've never heard of that before.
I really hate this argument. You can't reliably determine the exact temperature or future weather conditions by looking out of the window.
I'd like to point out that ever since SMETS2 new (and some firmware updated) smart meters are compatible in the UK, although I do acknowledge they didn't used to be.

Unless I'm missing something, Twitter does support lists?
Aukey is usually cheaper than Anker in my experience. That's why people buy from them, it's Anker-like quality at a cheaper price.
On almost every phone you can turn showing battery percentage back on if you want it. What OEM are you using?
Re:Whatever happened to IoT smoke alarms? on Saturday April 10, 2021 @07:54PM (#26766425)
They have a motion sensor you can use for triggering the light and activating cameras etc.
There are no relevant search results for "windows 10 adware". Can you be more specific?
True, but it is acceptable rather than having a noticeable delay etc. which I observe in other apps.
I don't think this necessarily has to hold true (Discord for instance have implemented their apps really well), but in reality this holds true for most electron apps in my experience.

> paid subreddit mod

They used to pay moderators?

I don't agree this is immature, he definitely has a point that Google should consider giving even a day's leeway in cases like this. That being said, I may be in the minority here, but I wouldn't expect a button that's labeled "report user" to report the content of the message, only the user profile for things like an abusive name, fake profile etc.
Since the first Android market guidelines? There's always been standards.
It's a little hacky, but you could probably do it on Android using the rclone-mount module for Magisk (root).
Re:GitHub Deceased User Policy on Wednesday February 17, 2021 @06:12AM (#26165123)
I mean, if you use Gmail for instance it's incredibly likely I'll be dead when I stop checking my email for a year.
Re:Show HN: Khan-dl – Khan Academy Course Downloader on Sunday February 14, 2021 @07:40PM (#26137724)
best video+bestaudio are the default format, so that argument can be omitted in the future if you want.
