That... really feels like something hardware should have been doing, but okay.

The problem with getting rid of everyone who tells you things you don't want to hear is that bad things still happen to you but now they always come as a surprise.

Last I heard about Mac gaming, games had to support Apple's proprietary Metal graphics API, so a game can't run on anything else.

Apple are trying to throw their weight around and forcing developers to go Mac exclusive like they do with iThings, but Mac users are such a tiny segment nobody bothers.

It's funny how that goes: elements that react violently often form strong bonds, so make stable and safe compounds.

It was life changing when I realised uBlock Origin can block whatever I want from web pages and not just ads.

All the links at the right of an article, headers and menus that want to continue occupying screen space after I've scrolled down, the entire comments section on some pages. Bam, gone.

Pages with cookie banners that don't have a one-click reject all button? Just block the banner.

Instead of running a magnetic tape over the cassette player's sensor, you put an electromagnet on it powered by the headphone jack. The cassette player just reads the magnetic field and doesn't know any difference.

Fake resolution has it's place, the problem is when Nvidia pressures reviewers to put its cards running a fake resolution against other cards running native resolution on benchmark charts.

It's how every manufacturer starts, though. Sell at a loss until you can achieve the volume you need to bring costs down. "strong growth in EV deliveries as losses narrow" means this is exactly what's happening.

Nobody's going to buy your first car for 100 million dollars so that you can be profitable from day 1.
