Your first link is from Hard Drive, which is quite obviously a parodic website, kinda like the Onion but for tech. That being said, Wikia/Fandom is a parasitic growth on the internet that leeches on the free work of countless enthusiasts, and alternative fan-run wikis should be used instead.

As long as it's the sperm of your enemies that's fine by be. Might take a bit longer to harvest though.

Deoxyribose is the 'D' in DNA. Just use the blood of your enemies.

I honestly don't understand why you'd go back to Intel these days. Performance is only comparable if Intel chips guzzle like twice the wattage, and they'll make sure you have to also change your mobo by conveniently switching sockets every two years. What's the upside of going Intel?

I agree with you but this phone comes with a proprietary super fast 100W charging tech that only works with their charger and cable.

When the fine is orders of magnitude less than the money you made breaking the law, it's not deterrence, it's just the cost of doing business.

What Macron has lately been calling "far-left" would have been considered middle of the road leftism only a couple years ago. Macron has pulled such a massive shift of the Overton window --what with calling himself a centrist when all of his policies are right-wing, and constantly calling anyone that's left of him "far-left"-- that it's no surprise right-wing extremism is totally normalized now. LFI is not far-left, and I wish the media would stop repeating and thus normalizing that idea.

I don't disagree but it seems to me it's going crescendo, with de facto monopolies running the show and buying anything that could be an obstacle, be it other companies or policymakers.

That there are such wild variations in price between countries shows how little that subscription is correlated to any actual costs.

At best subscribers in richest countries are subsidizing poorer ones, but most probably, Google is just trying to maximize the amount of money they can extract from everyone's pocket. The repeated seemingly random price hikes seem to confirm this hypothesis. It's just the MBAs enforcing terminal stage capitalism and ruining everything that is good.

This guy could suddenly rupture a brain aneurysm and you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference.
