"The two models, the 30TB ... and the 32TB ..., each offer a minimum of 3TB per disk". Well, yes, I would hope something advertised as being 30TB would offer at least 3TB. Am I misreading this sentence somehow?

100% online games in the past were perfectly playable even after developers / publishers ended support. Online only games dying is a relatively recent invention. This petition is asking for consumer protection to return to the norm where a purchaser of an online game always has the choice of being able to play it in some fashion.

A game developer could do this by releasing a server application. They could even do this at the barest minimum by releasing documentation describing how the server ought to work, to allow for reverse engineering.

The Stop Killing Games campaign as a whole isn't asking for perpetual server access, just to ensure that games stay in some sort of playable state.

It does matter. It's safer for everyone if cyclists travel side by side in one lane because then the car driver has to spend less time in the oncoming lane to complete the overtake. A long string of bikes takes more time to safely pass.

At this point the web is about as complex as an operating system in terms of complexity. That needs really strong specific standards in order for it to work, and in turn projects like web browsers are huge and complex.

If someone wanted to build a web browser that only followed the simpler parts of the specifications, it wouldn't work for many websites* and people would not use that browser.

*Whether or not sites need to be so complex is another question entirely, but the reality right now is that they are

Knife Rain? Wasn't expecting an adventure time reference on star trek, but I'll take it!

There's a lot of references linking back to nova squadron here, but I've got no idea how it all fits together. Looking forward to the finale.

It was a froidian slip

This is a good change. I think we could be in a much better place if companies that owned both production and streaming were more open about licensing.

Tendi just wanting to play in the sand is cute.

Boimler being completely fed up with the assignment is great - he knew exactly what he was walking into, but did it anyway (I'm glad it actually had payoff at the end).

Rutherford has finally resolved badgey, and seemingly learnt nothing.

I didn't feel like mariner had a whole lot to do in this episode, she just kind of tagged along.

This might be going back a while, I haven't played or looked anything up in along time, but back in the early days was the minecraft wiki not already its own site. At what point did they move to fandom? It's good they're moving, but why did they ever go there in the first place?
