Git gud, is the correct term.
Is it still TMC?
Mass Effect Andromeda anyone?
Does the iwatch track cadence?
Did I say that? I'm wonder if sourcing and disposing batteries on a mass scale will be any better than burning fuel.
What about the strain on the environment from sourcing and disposing batteries for these vans?
Well, I can type my daughters name into photos and find her photos, so yes I would agree.
Re:Ban kids from loot box gambling in games on Thursday September 12, 2019 @01:16PM (#20953925)
I feel 20 or so years ago kids that spent money on something that didn't provide a clear benefit would have been bullied. My wife was a gamer, when my son first asked for a gift card to buy a skin it was fun watching him try to explain that there is no benefit and it only changes the look. My wife kept asking him why do you want this?

My 13yr old son has spent $100s on fortnite, I told him he's going to regret that when he wishes he saved for a car, or something that will matter in 6months.

I definitely blew my fair share on video games, but I also believe this is a generational shift. I do not believe charging $$ for "cosmetics" would have been as successful in "my day". But what does it mean?

I've not done a whole lot of research but Tesla has it figured it out, compare a Tesla in power and range with the BMW i8. Maybe Porsche can make a better showing than their German counterpart.
Re:Phones that secretly listen to us are a myth on Thursday September 05, 2019 @02:14PM (#20889362)
Well this instance spooked me because I hadn't done any kind of lookup for anything "gun" related. While anything I search for is usually what shows up in my feeds. I'm usually not a "tin-hatter" and seems far-fetched, but it spooked me.

My wife and I were watching John Wick and got to talking about owning a handgun. The next morning my facebook feed was showing me marketplace listings for holsters.
Also, what about disposing the battery when it reaches its end of life.

Well, youtube was good for me when I needed to pull the blower motor out of my jeep.

Will this effect apps that i use on an ipad and an android phone that share a login?
Re:Former Fortnite UX lead digs into ethical game design on Wednesday May 08, 2019 @09:30AM (#19858616)
While Horizon Zero Dawn is an Awesome game, and I did play it mostly on a PC through remote play, it does require a PS4 to play.

I recently got into playing Dark Souls 3, Fromsoftware is definitely not garnering to the lowest common denominator.
Best Buy credit. I never have my card on me, but I can use my credit account with my Soc.

Does anyone else think alexa/(services that record and retain) should be on the list of bad.
I prefer Netflix, unless I need to see a HowTo or a product review. My 6yr old daughter prefers anything on Youtube over Netflix. We also had cable which she wouldn't hardly watch at all so we returned her cable box.

Re:I still miss my headphone jack, and I want it back on Tuesday November 27, 2018 @07:37AM (#18541809)
I don't miss the stereo jack on my motorola, I have wireless headphones, a car with BT and a jeep without BT. Walmart has these at the check out line, I use it in my jeep.

About a year ago i listed a car on facebook and craigslist at the same time, and it ended up selling on facebook. I check it a few times a day(does blogging about it count against that) and mostly use it to post pics to family, troll friends. I also started my account about a year ago.
I live in northern Mi, I see Tesla's everyday, and I don't think they can be bought in MI, so despite the inconvenience they are moving cars.
Re:The making of Supreme Commander on Thursday October 25, 2018 @11:53AM (#18301860)
All the DLC mechs they released periodically, wrecked the balance. A few were neat, but if you had all of them took away the fun for me. But, it was definitely a neat concept back then.

Doesn't Unifi use this?
I'm curious what would apple use if google was not paying, or if google charged apple? This seems backwards to me.

It hasn't ended, still by far one of the best shows on cable TV.
Re:iPhones are hard to use on Tuesday October 23, 2018 @09:01AM (#18282957)
My biggest gripe, how about a standardized back button, that is always in the same place and works the same in all places.
Re:Backblaze Drive Stats: 2018 Q3 Hard Drive Failure Rates on Tuesday October 16, 2018 @12:38PM (#18230790)
