Fake-ish. Fortunately, our post-modern outlook informs us that, since there is no objective truth or morality, fake (or fake-ish) news is just as valid as real (or real-ish) news.
Yeah, but this is Valve we're talking about. The Socialist paradise where every employee decides what they feel like doing that day and everyone wonders why nothing difficult ever gets done. gg
Considering the extent to which his opposition is Progressing off the side of a cliff that's a yuuge possibility.
Watch the Progs take over the Democrat party and nominate someone even more hopelessly idealistic and ineffective than Sanders in 2020. I'm sure doubling down on "You stupid, ignorant, racist, hillbilly white trash bigots just don't know what's good for you" is going to turn out so much better this time around.
The update process is akin to how updates on mobile devices work. A big Windows update essentially re-images the system portion and leaves user data alone. They're getting ready for a future "Windows 10 as firmware" scenario.
It does this because the big "updates" are actually complete installs, in and of themselves. That is, when you update it literally re-installs itself rather than an incremental update of changed files.
And yes, it is exactly as lazy and stupid as it sounds. Microsoft figured that if Google/Apple can get away with it on mobile devices, why not PCs?
You're wrong. It's not the "African American" part that is important, it is the brown skin. Get your "it's totally not racist when we do it" racism straight.
Check your talking points comrade, emoluments are the word of the day. Never mind that most of the people who are absolutely convinced that Trump is receiving such emoluments had never heard of the word before today, it is of little consequence. It doesn't really matter as long the perception of outrage is maintained. It is inconceivable that this will backfire.
Once Trump finishes his genocidal extermination of Blacks, Mexicans, Muslims, Leftists, and other defectives, there'll be plenty of excess capacity on the roads.
It's going to happen sooner or later. There are too many states for the current Federal system to function properly. If we combined them together into 13 or so new states, I think we'd find the Federal system would start to work a whole lot smoother.
Yeah, but he's probably talking about the Sacagawea dollar coins. You know, the ones no one wants but the government mandated itself to make and is now forced to buy them all to sit in some government warehouse someplace until they finally get melted down, and turned into President dollar coins, which unsurprisingly, no one wants either. Back to the warehouse!
So wait, are you arguing for giving even more data to Google because it will help them make their fucking AI even better at manipulating you? Who would have thought that the legacy of Western Civilization and Christianity was to create a society that, upon realizing God wasn't real they went about creating one themselves. Have fun with your Google CyberJesus. I'm afraid I'll be dragged along for the ride, bitter that people like you enabled the forthcoming cyberpunk dystopia just so you could turn your fucking home theater on in one lazy upper-middle class step. FUck you.
The most common argument against what you're proposing is the Security problem. Essentially, people are carrying around these micro-computers (teehee) and putting their entire lives on them. These same people are best assumed to be too incompetent to properly manage their own devices, because statistics show they actually are that stupid, or careless, or whatever. Thus, it beholds the companies who make these things to make them "unhackable", even at the expense of those of us who would prefer more flexibility in the system.
That is why root is practically never easily available, boot loaders are increasingly impossible to unlock and the OS's are systematically reducing the types of features that can lead to security problems.
Sure, to the unhinged it looks like a giant conspiracy to ensure that consumers are permanently locked into an ecosystem where they have no control over anything whatsoever, and can be spied upon and manipulated at will by whatever corporate interests the maker of the device has made deals with. Shortly we'll find phones being legally tied to the owner, as a form of Identity, and as such the owner will be responsible for anything the device does, even though they can exert practically no control over it in the first place. And now that Google has killed off CyanogenMod, we'll see a glorious new day where all devices are Google Approved and we can start feeding all of our day to day existence into the (increasingly powerful) AI's that power these stupid assistants, because what could possibly go wrong?? I want CyberJesus at the GOoglePlex to know everything I'm doing.
Wait, was I presenting myself as the non-unhinged party here? Shit.
While this will make the pedants crazy, it still is technically the CPU, even it it's a SoC or whatever.
In any case, inventing new descriptive words to correct a misapprehension that doesn't even matter in the first place is always the best way to go. Bonus points for making people feel stupid for not knowing your preferred nomenclature.
And it sounds worse than the worst mp3s from the Napster/KaZaa days. Unless you really like the hiss and squeeks from extremely aggressive lossy compression.
The way we solve such problems in the $CURRENT_YEAR is to just use an arbitrary icon/symbol and expect users to intuitively understand what it supposed to mean.
On the plus side, users get the exciting experience of playing "Lets guess what this button does" Russian roulette and hope they don't shoot whatever app they were using in the head.
Too bad Idiocracy is an automation story, not about average human intelligence. People could be stupid, lazy, and careless because they didn't have to do anything, the wonderful machines did it all for them. I can't wait.
Automation is going to make a utopian society my ass. That shit is going to be the biggest fuck you ever rammed up the ass of any society anywhere. We're fucked.
Lol, they do now, or will have to soon. And of course, the draft suddenly became a feminist issue, which it wasn't before because feminism is for the equality of both sexes, right?
It would be a rare mobile game indeed that's worth $9.90. Most of them are barely worth one dollar, let alone ten. For every successful "good" (read: popular) mobile game, there are a thousand shitty Chinese clones. Mobile stores are clogged up with complete shit, and even if mobile gaming were a worthwhile platform (which it isn't) it'd be impossible to find anything worth playing amongst the endless fields of garbage.
So Generation Z can keep their god awful touch-screen-all-the-things interfaces, it's just too bad that since they're the up and coming gaming market that they're going to be who devs and publishers cater to. All hope is not yet lost though. My kids love Terraria, they use to watch me play it on PC and then played it themselves on their tablets, which anyone who's played it will know how legendarily bad the controls (and the port in general) are. Recently I got them into playing it on the PC, and after an initial period of getting used to the keyboard/mouse controls they soon realized just how awful the mobile version really is, just like I kept telling them. The love of touch-centric interface usually won't survive an encounter with any superior alternative, at least if the player has any choice in the matter.

The "Black Bloc" anarcho-communist retard squad, that's who. You know, the inveterate Nazi punchers, the "totally not edgy teenage hooligans".

The answer is D, use the Reset Button. Works every time.
Well so much for their narrative that the Democrats are the "better people". What was that GP said about hypocrisy?
Oh yeah,
... the Democratic Party is too busy tripping over their hypocritical statements and actions.

TIL that acting in a way that happens to somewhat align with a foreign power means one is now a foreign agent. Brilliant.

You just like, blew my mind, man.
Now lets get an endless runner game using the CoD IP, that'll bring the hardcore gamers over.
