  • They're still out there technically, but they get jankier every year. The new UI they released... last year? put the nail in the coffin for a lot of the fancy ones, but there are still options out there to skin your Steam UI.

  • I Member That

  • Wasn't that effectively the Libertarian motto for a bit? When they weren't veering down some insane tangent that they all picked up on on that particular year?

  • Firefox + Ublock = 👑

    Jump

  • It's chromium based, but it's pretty custom at this point. Chrome extensions are still compatible, but the interface/etc will throw you a bit if you're looking for something that's a direct swap.

  • I've been using Vivalid, they have 'Workspaces' (as its Tab Group analog) which is different but in a way that was a pleasant surprise and kind of reminds me of older systems. Imagine working with one tab group at a time and the rest disappear when you're not on that workspace.

  • After a former Game Informer staffer used the site's social channels to post their own statement on GI's closure, GameStop nukes the account.

  • A lot of companies do it, if they can control the spread of information, they can pretend that everything is fine for a few more months and maybe collect a bit more revenue making it slightly better for the stockholders.

  • Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?

    Jump

  • Do you have any prospects in mind for a repairable phone? I'm of a similar mindset, but the premium on the existing 'repairable' phones out there is so high that I don't feel like I can justify it.

    Logitech has an idea for a “forever mouse” that requires a subscription

    Jump

  • That was specifically one of the goals talked about in the actual interview and the CEO spent a lot more time on that than the topic in the headline.

    Logitech has an idea for a “forever mouse” that requires a subscription

    Jump

  • To be fair... I read the whole interview a few days ago, she was kind of pushed into this statement. The idea from the CEO was presented as a high-end luxury mouse that you'd treat like a fancy watch you could just repair and never need to replace. The closest we got to Logitech saying this was the interviewer asking if they could ever see a subscription being attached to the mouse and the CEO saying 'possibly' and then implying that it could be something like a maintenance/repair contract so that you would never have to worry about your mouse.

    This whole ordeal was mostly just poor form in interviewing where the interviewer pushed the interviewee into a statement that they knew would be good clickbait.

  • Lithium-Ion Batteries Have Gone Too Far

  • From what I've heard, the real primary reason is fire risk. This is obviously not 100% true, but landfills should be isolated from the surrounding environment especially when it comes to fluids/etc that could leak into groundwater. There are a lot of processes they should already be following to keep that from happening.

  • Paycheck rule

  • There's readable comments scattered throughout, but it was mostly word salad that seems to have a penchant for mentioning birds of specific colors.

  • I spent way too long thinking the biggest problem was that Argentina was in the wrong place. Technically, it was in fact in the wrong place.

  • It's like a not very liberal regime

  • EA dismisses effect of video game actor's strike, says it won't have "any significant short-term impact"

    Jump

  • This strike affects only a portion of the games development, almost entirely voice acting. Important in a lot of genres, but like... The Sims is their top game, if they just reused voice content from older content and remixed it a bit, I doubt 90% of us would notice.

  • I mean shit, I know we could search it, but how could you not link us to that. We need that.

  • Kamala Harris Wipes Out Trump’s Swing-State Lead in Election Dead Heat

    Jump

  • I feel like you're confusing the people who make the bets with the people who make the odds, those are interconnected obviously and react to each other, but it's two separate parties.

  • Kamala Harris Wipes Out Trump’s Swing-State Lead in Election Dead Heat

    Jump

  • It's real easy to make polls go whichever way you like if you try and it may be in someones best interest to make sure only the 'correct' polls are widely known. We're spoiled in that we've been able to expect the organizations involved to be trustworthy and not do that, but I think a lot of us feel that that's been less and less true.

    For the betting markets, their success relies almost solely on them predicting odds correctly and consistently. Our respect here is for the people who dedicate their lives to making sure the gamblers lose. Could obviously still be manipulated, but in this case doing so is at least contrary to the purpose of the organization instead of in the previous case potentially actually supporting it...

    Not going to lie though, is a weird shift, I get it.

  • Kamala Harris Wipes Out Trump’s Swing-State Lead in Election Dead Heat

    Jump

  • That does kind of explain a lot.

    I know we're all in our own occasionally overlapping echo chambers, but the betting odds and prediction markets still tend to favor Trump, some of the larger ones pretty heavily. It's very disconnected from the narrative I've been seeing about Kamala here and elsewhere, I hope that narrative is right, but still doesn't line up.
