I think it’s interesting to see the guy in the article saying he’ll never buy another launch CPU from Intel again. I would expect that once Intel puts this behind them, they’ll be upping the QC process to catch these type of things. And hopefully AMD learns enough they can test for it too so it never happens to them.

It’s an addictive drug. Like Dennis Leary said, you could name them Death and make the packaging black with a skull and crossbones and people would buy two at a time.

Video bandwidth is expensive. Plus YouTube pays the creators too for producing the content. I subscribe to YouTube, and haven’t had a real TV subscription in years. Totally still saving money. In terms of hours per dollar per month, it’s gotta be pennies for me. Plus YouTube music and downloading to my phone to save data is kinda nice too.

Do you guys think Rockstar did this, or a Valve employee? If you’ve ever seen the interview with the GOG CEO, he mentions how they routinely have to use these files they find on the internet to get the games to work. Who’s going to prosecute this, Razor, for copyright? Oh, wait. I’d just be a bit more leery if there’s some latent malware in there. But, then again, I wonder if older malware even still works in the new version of Windows. Not that they patched some hole, but more that MS has just evolved Windows and now some things that the MW used to be in one spot are in a new spot, or just outright don’t exist.

As others mentioned, Verisign administers the .com space and they’re raising prices. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/04/09/website-domain-more-expensive-00023524

I do like to keep track of the budget gTLD renewal prices at tld-list.com and use that for my personal use. I have an offbeat domain I registered for 10 years for something like $25 a few years ago.

I’m on about #2 or #3 IPhone from eBay.
No issues, but I always made sure I purchased ones that were in the condition I liked in the photos and also were listed either for the carrier I had in mind or unlocked and then threw in a mvno sim as soon as I’ve got it. eBay is pretty good about processing returns that are legit and I’ve always tried to vet the device the day I received it. Issues with other electronics I’ve filed a notice report immediately and either returned or accepted a partial discount. Looking to sell my old devices on eBay soon. Not going to make a fortune, a few bucks helps, yanno.

Ehhh, I watched the first minute or so…He’s trying to make a comedy bit around fairly well established stereotypes. It could just be a coincidence, this doesn’t prove anything.
