- Comment on Solar-powered Logitech keyboard appears on Amazon Mexico — MX Keys S look-alike promises up to 10 years of power 23 hours ago:
Pretty neat. Perfect for a HTPC in a sunny main lounge. It charges during the day while you’re at work, and you just never worry about it. I have to swap the AAA batteries on mine every few weeks. It’s barely a bother but still better if I didn’t have to.

The public must be so terrorised in their homes, knowing the orphan crushing machines can’t come and save them when they need snap-orphan crushing.
- Comment on Valve now require UK Steam users to verify their ages with a credit card, thanks to the Online Safety Act 1 week ago:
What are Steam cards? It says in the article that debit cards are valid.
Top paragraph:
According to reports, debit cards are acceptable too.
- Comment on Valve now require UK Steam users to verify their ages with a credit card, thanks to the Online Safety Act 1 week ago:
It says in the article(/the linked Steam page) as long as you have ever made a purchase, you’re assumed to be over 18, since being over 18 is a requirement to having a card. The third party verification is for sites that only ask for ID or vibes-check photo of your face.

Could you buy premium games from Steam in the UK without a debit card or credit card before this change?
- Comment on Kemi Badenoch: I’d go further than Farage and deport women and children 1 week ago:
She was born in London and received citizenship at birth. It’s not her skin colour that inspired her politics.
- Comment on Ecosia has offered to take ‘stewardship’ of Chrome. And it's not a bad idea. 2 weeks ago:
The two you wouldn’t advocate for have their own crawlers and index. The remainders which you are advocating for, don’t have the ability to not pass on the result manipulation from Google, Bing or Yandex.
At best they serve as anonymisers, but Ecosia’s (non-profit) business model is telling Google what you search for, and DDG is beholden to USA laws, which means for all practical consideration they are a front for the NSA.

- Comment on UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airs 4 weeks ago:
The article talks about eighteen year olds that were hired “because they look very young”, playing children characters, with costumes and makeup meant to make them look younger.
- Comment on Ukraine rescues soldier via drone delivery of complete e-bike 5 weeks ago:
That’s very cool
- Comment on Valve is redesigning the Steam Store Menu and Search, wants user feedback 1 month ago:
Apple allows you to offer better deals on other platforms. Customers are allowed to buy on other platforms, but sellers aren’t allowed to give you any reason to. Even in cases where those other platforms take a smaller cut, the developer has to artificially raise the price until Steam is the cheapest platform if they want to remain on Steam.
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 7 months ago:
You can always get that degree later when your income slows down. You’ll have more total money if you dedicate yourself full-time to the money-making endeavour.
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows to Feature Denuvo & Mandatory Ubisoft Account Linking 9 months ago:
What’s well intentioned about not letting me use Cheat Engine on my own game. I’m not interacting with anyone else, I can’t ruin the game’s economy, or make people’s PvP experience worse. The worst thing I could do is make my own experience worse. They’re even including macro’s in that – A wide-spread accessibility feature.
I already bought the game, what incentive is there to make sure I can’t enjoy it?
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows to Feature Denuvo & Mandatory Ubisoft Account Linking 9 months ago:
Probably thinking of Empress. The most recent Denuvo game to be cracked was Dead Island 2, which is a year and a half ago. And if we don’t count Empress or MKDEV*, (because it’s reasonable to assume they aren’t going to want to crack this), then it’s eFootball in 2020: 4 years ago.
*MKDEV used to only crack Football Manager, as to allow modding. Football Manager now allows a method for MKDEV’s mod to run without removing Denuvo.

You probably got it but “came second” might sound like he came second to the other person in the picture. The couple who got the gold isn’t in this comparison image.

They filmed it on earth

Thank you for adding a description.

Am I being stupid? That’s a caiman and two alligators, no? Crocodiles have forward eyes.
- Comment on Bethesda update Fallout 4 for your "next-generation PC" 1 year ago:
I enjoyed the VR version of this a lot more and for longer than the flat version. Unlikely but it would be cool if when they updated the game they’d update the VR version too.
- Comment on Medicine 1 year ago:
Okay but healthcare in the USA is a scam. If everywhere else can manage to give you the treatment for a price you can afford, why can’t the second richest country in the world?
*The tweet sounds USA-oriented and I’m replying with the assumption it’s about the USA. - Comment on Oops 1 year ago:
They’re all so handsome
