    Windows 11 abandoned native apps. Now it needs them to survive Opinion by Chris Hoffman •

    The decline of windows has been a long journey with some short reprieves on a overall downward trend. First they removed reversi. (Win95) Then they had a short reprieve (Win98se / WinXP) Then they removed pinball and implemented a strict but klunky security system. (Win Vista) Next they had a...

    PRS sues gaming platform giant Steam for copyright infringement

    I'm curious then. Do British retail stores or UK amazon have to pay a licensing fee if/ when someone purchases a music CD from them? Conceptually it appears to me the distribution of a music CD is effectively the same as the distribution of music embedded in a published game on Steam. On...

    Logitech’s no-‘click’ magnetic mouse changes the game

    I also switched to trackball many years ago due to carpel tunnel problems (that went away with the trackball use). Have you ever checked out ELECOM for trackball? I have had good results from that brand although some of the older ones (10+ years) have the double click problem which only...

    And then? And then Mullvad was censored in the UK.

    Well unfortunately, the government having it means any company interested in your data will also have access to it. Governments already sell data to private companies. Like Texas DMV already does. https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/texas-dmv-selling-drivers-personal-information/ The only...

    First Ram and NAND, now spinning rust the next victim of AI

    At the price you paid, I would have saved $800+ setting up a 88tb QNAP NAS. I wish I had considered building it early 2025 instead of realizing toward the end of year that it was never going to happen if I didn't build it in 2025 with how prices were going for the next 2~3 years.

    The Subscription Economy in America is Collapsing...

    Clonezilla has been free for years. I've never had any issue I couldn't figure out for backup/ restore activities. Transferring to a larger drive is also doable with minor preparations. Transferring to a smaller drive is a bit involved, but again doable. Really now that SSDs are larger sizes...

    Windows vs Linux Portable Gaming: Windows Was The Problem All Along

    Been using Graphene OS for the past 6 months. It's the best phone os I've had to date. I can secure almost everything without having to root the phone. Also, I enjoy the battery life on my pixel 9 with graphene os which can last for 4 of 5 days without charging and low usage. 3 days with...

    World's Largest Solar Project Would Power 1 Million U.S. Homes

    When I see or hear of these large solar farms, I always think how much more stable MW capacity could be generated on the same footprint with Thorium molten salt reactors. And without the fragility and unstable nature of solar power production, it would remove the eyesore while delivering more...

    Despite telling us they wouldn't do it, Google is fingerprinting all their devices

    I guess I'll have to research if this latest privacy invasion is avoided completely by GrapheneOS and Brave browser since that's my phone OS. I do have Google Play Services sand boxed, and it doesn't see the phones device number of other uniquely sensitive data.

    MicroSoft Flight Simulator 2024 to have only 50 gb install size due to cloud streaming of assets

    So with a model like that in 5 years or so when the cloud hosting server is taken offline or repurposed, does the flight sim game work at all on the local machine? Is it only a shell of the functionality and experience delivered prior to server shutdown?

    So Microsoft and IBM made Dos 4.0 OpenSource today…

    I would prefer the complete source code for DOS 3.3 or DOS 5 over DOS 4. DOS 4 was a broken version to begin with.

    TSMC Employees Experiencing Problems in Arizona

    I looked up Arizona. Income taxes go toward state government. State sales tax rate goes toward more state government. County sales tax goes toward County government which includes a small sheriff's office that won't have staffing to act anything like a municipal police force. So municipal...

    Asrock is trying out add-in cards to upgrade your motherboard chipset and features

    I wonder if they could make a 486 add-in board with a direct mounted VESA compatible SVGA chip with 1-4mb vram with a vga header and hdmi connector on the bracket, and 64mb system dram, true sound blaster compatible and adlib chips, comm port headers, game port header, and parallel port header...

    Asrock is trying out add-in cards to upgrade your motherboard chipset and features

    The Asus Proart B650 Creator has a TB4 header and accepts the Asus add-in card on a pcie 3.0 x16 slot (@x4 speed). Not sure why they pushed TB4 into the add-in realm on b650 when last gen b550 had it without the board price being higher.
