Covid numbers wouldn’t be so bad if we stop testing, and ocean health won’t get worse if we stop measuring.

Kill that messenger!

Not just music! (Though that is probably the strongest example)

It’s telling how many people are nostalgic for a society that only existed before they were born. Recent History education sucks.

“Testing your faith” sounds like tricking people into not believing. Which is exactly what they accuse their devil of doing. This god sounds like kind of an asshole.

Squat on the inkpad, perp.

Active Time Battle (ATB) was under patent until 2010.

Games are just software, and software patents are definitely (and unfortunately) a thing.

Guess I’ll have to limit myself to the 10,000 other games to play on PC, then.

The CDC Fired All Its Cruise Ship Inspectors Before the Hantavirus Outbreak

There was a full news cycle of tech folks talking about how “they are so in demand, they sold out instantly.” Build the hype with free press.

Valve has enough experience with this to know exactly what they were doing.

They also have a browser extension to put some additional info right on the steam store pages.

Not the entire price history, but it will show the lowest ever price, and the last time it happened. Even if Valve puts a 30-day history on the page, this would still be useful to know if a game ever gets discounts deeper than whatever it had most recently.

That never happens to Thor-opods.

Terrible name for a Jedi.

Steam tag: “choices matter”

Transformers?

This is why Windows peaked with version 2000.

Solid stainless steel at that weight would be roughly 17 cm per side (assuming a cube), depending on the exact alloy.

There’s no perfect reference scale, but the diagonal width of the cube is 60% the width of the drawer (by pixels). My kitchen drawer measures 40.5 cm, so the cube is some 24.5 cm across diagonally. A 17 cm cube would be just over 24 cm. I did a lot of rounding at every step, but it seems to check out pretty darn well.

Have you ever magnetically levitated a cow? If not, then however magnetic they are, it’s less magnetic than frogs.

She’s hot, but there’s just too much pressure to make it work.

1. Already answered.
2. Are you using a good quality new displayport cable, or the same old HDMI from your old monitor? 4k HDR needs a lot more data, and some cheap cables can’t handle it.
3. 🤷 Change to colors to what feels right. Unless you’re a graphic professional, it’s more about preference than some perfect standard.
4. Yeah. There’s a lot more pixels in a little more space. Each of them is smaller, and you may need to zoom on text-heavy apps that aren’t optimized for 4k.
5. Lots of new monitors default to a power saving mode where brightness is capped. You’ll have to disable that to get the full brightness they advertise.

Not for 3+ years. Try a new strawman.
