Not just a great fight, but also the boss with the best lore.

Extremely powerful giant warrior learns gravity magic so he can keep riding his best skinny horse friend. Aww.

I'd wait. I feel like consoles must be getting close to a hardware refresh now.

This is going to be an effective way to tank the Google/Yelp review score of your restaurant. And pay toilets are also stupid in Europe, I say that as a European.

I have had a Model 3 for about 4 years now and I think it has generally been a very well-made car.

It will be done wirelessly. They're just legally required to call this a "recall" because automotive legislation was written before OTA updates were a thing.

The Talos Principle 2

It's beautiful, and often really engaging both in gameplay and in story/setting, but I'm already feeling a bit of puzzle fatigue after ~20% through the game. I'll see how far I'll continue.

Same here. Lifelong tinnitus in one ear without measurable hearing loss. Presumably due to a severe ear infection.

I'd never heard of this mission. A nuclear-powered drone flying around Titan? That's so retro-sci-fi I can't even

Yeah, security is in layers and userland isn't automatically "safe", if that's what you're pointing out. So I did mention non-superusers. Separating the kernel from userland applications is also critically important to (try to) prevent non-superusers from accessing APIs and devices which only superusers (or those in particular groups) are able to reach.

Well hopefully you can't harm your computer with userland programs. Windows is perhaps a bit messy at this, generally, but Unix-like systems have pretty good protections against non-superusers interfering with either the system itself, or other users on the system.

Having drivers run in the kernel and applications run in userland also means unintentional application errors generally won't crash your entire system. Which is pretty important..

Romania offers as much as €11,500 to people buying an electric vehicle.

Imagine if up to €11,500 per person could go to funding public transportation.

I like cars. They're useful, and EVs are probably the future. But directly subsidizing EVs seems somewhat wasteful. Makes as much sense to me as a tax break for buying a new iPhone.

The EFF is working on all that. And have been for decades. They are allies.

They're making a stand on blocking because they have a bigger perspective on the issues. Which I thought was quite well articulated in their article.
