All of this anticheat bs is still making the baseline assumption that the problem needs to be solved at the expense of the players.

It's illegal to steal someone else's property. We don't enforce that law by cutting off everyone's hands preemptively so that there is less demand on police to solve a problem that hasn't happened yet...

If people are assholes and go against the wishes of society, you police and moderate them. If they can't moderate their platform, that isn't the fault of the community - it's a failing of the corporation. It's such a ridiculous mindset. It's a fucking video game...

Didn't calculate the price by weight. Just took the number from the 6" cube here and extrapolated from that since it was the easiest math.

The 5' cube is 1000 times the size of the 6" cube and the 6" cube is $15k. The prices don't scale up linearly though. The smaller cubes are better value by weight.

Assuming that's about 5x5', and going by the price of the first tungsten cube found on Google, this would be worth about 15 million dollars. Decent prize of you could move 150,000lb.

My office laptop will never shut down normally if I have anything to say about it. If it's 4pm they aren't taking any more of my electricity until 8am tomorrow.

99% of the time you can just spoof the user agent and it'll work perfectly fine. They only restrict it because they won't hire enough developers to provide support for multiple browsers.

How does the title victimize Google?... It literally just summarizes the article, and then in the first sentence of the actual article they flat out call Google an illegal monopoly.

Honestly, it never got big enough for that to even matter. It just lost the content war to the PS2 Xbox and GameCube. Shenmue, Jet Set Radio and Sonic Adventure aren't exactly enough great exclusives to justify buying the non-Halo machine or the console built by the company that "won" the previous generation.

You underestimate the capacity for corporate pettiness

Less than half, but let's be honest here. It's because she has more money than him : P

People still unironically use chrome?

Rolling releases for issues with newer hardware and the AUR. That's really all there is to it. There are plenty of ways to be "unique", but at the the of the day, nobody else is ever really going to care.

If I bought myself a 6 year old Thinkpad, I'd put Mint over Arch on it in a heartbeat. For the desktop that's constantly upgrading, it gets Arch because it has the fastest releases and biggest community to troubleshoot stuff.
