Getting tired of these “shock” youtube channels drumming up drama for views. It’s only a matter of time before someone points the youtube cannon at these channels.



It might replace the dumb AI we see in strategy games. You know, the one that suddenly nukes your cities after signing a peace treaty.


Do we always want to play as the good guys? Are all actors to be prohibited from portraying bad guys? Is all media going to end up like Barney the Purple Dinosaur episodes? Games, movies, books, songs are supposed to be entertaining.


They are all the same nowadays (in their price categories). It falls down to what you’re used to and stick with it. The tech advance has plateaued and most manufacturers have caught up with each other. Only the branding adds or substracts the price.


No, my dude. This is the “breathless marketing speak” as pioneered by Applel.


A tablet is basically a smartphone with a bigger screen. Maybe a slightly bigger SSD and battery but that’s about it.



Don’t get on the hysteria bandwagon. Evaluate the specific news/story on its own merits. Don’t let the youtube telenovela tier drama prematurely sway your judgment.



I never pick up an unknown number. If it’s important, they will eventually message or email me. Don’t hang up on those calls either. If you do, they’ll know you’re there and will add you to their database. Just leave it ringing on silent. Some phones can also auto reroute unknown callers to the voicemail.


I went to the Samsung™ store and fondled their latest foldable phones lineup. Even on the demo models, you could clearly see the crease. It will only get worse as you use it. I think there is a market for folding phones but as separate screens, i.e. 2 or more panels side by side. If you gonna have a crease, might as well separate the screens.


Tip top reporting. No mention of the motives despite flyers strewn by the perps. Good job, Guardian (not).


Star Traders: Frontiers. Be a space trucker/pirate/merc. Singleplayer offline space turn-based RPG Pay once only but frequent free updates. No bullshit P2W, gacha, timers etc etc.

Bonus: kill xenos scum, customize your ship load out, satisfying crew combat.

Cons: annoying RNG card minigame for spying, blockading, salvaging. Enemies esp. xenos can get very unforgiving on high difficulty setting.
