  • Valve wins legal battle against patent troll Rothschild and associated companies

    Jump

  • Patents give an incentive to actually do the R&D for new products and projects? How would you feel if you spent millions of dollars and 15yrs designing a product and then some random dude just buys one, reverse engineers it and undercuts you? It basically disincentivizes anyone from doing any innovation since the game theory would be to just wait for someone else to do it and then take it for your own.

  • [Discussion] Who's your favourite skill check boss in a Soulslike?

  • Margit in ER is a good one because the entire moveset is based around "don't panic roll"

    What justifies requiring spiral-bound project reports when the actual work is a live website or repository?

    Jump

  • I feel a paper spiral bound book has a sense of finality to it that digital never will. You can't half ass a section and be like "I'll clean this up later." By committing to a hard copy you are committing to a completed work and not some poorly formatted wiki or markdown page no one wants to read

  • How do I prevent apps from using 100% of my disk IO?

    Jump

  • I had this happen shortly before I had an SSD failure. How old is the drive? Check the SMART health if the drive is capable.

  • Audiophiles Can't Distinguish Audio Sent Through Copper, Banana or Mud

    Jump

  • I dunno, reading the article it seems like a flawed experiment? The audio wasn't played back through those mediums but recorded through it and uploaded to a forum. I might've missed what software was used to do the recording but a lot of ADCs have some built in high-pass/low-pass filtering that could remove noise. I'd be interested in the audio played back through them to headphones cause that would sound like shit

  • Ever get the urge?

    Jump

  • God, I love a staycation. Taking time to get the house in order or work on that self project you haven't had time/energy for is a great boon to my mental health

  • Drinking 2-3 cups of coffee a day tied to lower dementia risk

    Jump

  • Read the article? They found that decaf did not confer the same benefits

  • Which are you?

    Jump

  • Both and either cause my feet are dead to me and get to live their own lives

  • ...is this retro?

    Jump

  • It's been longer from now back to the Xbox 360 release as there was from the Xbox 360 release to the NES. Not even the SNES.

  • Outside of politics, have you ever had a position on something that you have doubled down on and refused to move an inch on to the point of upsetting someone? Were you right?

    Jump

  • Random programming one, but some of the changes in C++20 are terrible and do not belong in the language. I will die on the hill of just because something is easier to learn/work with doesn't make it better.

  • Duh

    Jump

  • Shitting like water, more like

    Jump

  • I think last time my wife and I went (2025) we got two beers and 20 wings for around $25? How is that rich?

  • Restaurants say big chains pretend to be independents on apps

    Jump

  • Cause staffing and paying deliver drivers is more expensive than subcontracting, sadly

    Jump

  • Red bell peppers by me are $2.50 each. It's not just unhealthy food that's overpriced. Also no clue where you are getting tortillas but I've never seen them cheap unless you make them yourself

  • I'm there!

    Jump

  • Barcades are a thing! You don't have to drink, if that's not your bag either

  • Mark Zuckerberg gifted noise-canceling headphones to his Palo Alto neighbors because of the non-stop construction around his 11 homes

    Jump

  • Not trying to fight, just confused. My wife and I were in a 1800sqft townhome later on and that was like the minimum in our minds.

  • Mark Zuckerberg gifted noise-canceling headphones to his Palo Alto neighbors because of the non-stop construction around his 11 homes

    Jump

  • Did you mean 2200? I had a 1200sqft apartment before and that definitely couldn't fit a family

  • Have you ever tried to "acquire" a taste? (Ie. spent time eating/imbibing something you didn't like at first to start to enjoy it.)

    Jump

  • I don't have the soap gene, but have the same issues with artificial sweeteners. I don't understand how anyone can be fooled by them, they taste horrible.

  • So apparently full stops in texts are 'passive agressive' now. What other unwritten rules for texting have changed over the last couple of decades?

    Jump

  • Because it can signal annoyance? It's almost like having more possible meanings adds depth to conversation. The end of a text is already final enough, so a period doesn't add any functionality that way unless you somehow believe someone got raptured mid sentence and still hit send.

    It's like if you asked someone, "How are you?" And they said "I'm fine" or "I'm fine." or "I'm fine!" or "I'm fine?" or "I'm fine..."

    It signals different connotations and tones for all five. Period is no longer default since they aren't required, so they have taken on additional meaning
