Maybe in five years, if (and only if) they keep working on it like No Man's Sky, then maybe Starfield might be redeemed.

But they've already fucked up by making the DLC paid. Until the game is playable, they should be reinvesting their original sales income. Otherwise they burn all the good will.

In Canada, it's just a Caesar. And literally no one orders a Bloody Marie here (Caesars are basically our national drink now). We have egregious overproduced version like the above as well. Took this photo of a menu in Vancouver.

If the Kindle is a tablet, then yes. If the Kindle is an e-reader, then no.

I don't think Kobo has that option. I just toggle on my wifi hotspot on my phone though and that works just fine.

Comics and graphic novels mostly. Maybe scientific papers and textbooks.

Oh you mean the point for Amazon? Extract money

Articles like this always tend to overlook the fact that Bell Labs wasn't unique in its time. And other companies had very similar labs running. A famous example is Xerox Labs which invented the computer mouse and graphical windowing, among other things.

Google had this vibe too, prior to going public.

This has a Toronto Island feel to it. Where is it?

Another one. Ugh.

That said, a story like this once a year blowing up in the media will make it seem like all sports coaches are pedophiles. I'd wager that the percentage is significantly lower than the background average (due to all the screening that most coaches have to go through). It's just high profile when it happens.

Weirdly enough, .Net works relatively well on Linux (at least the core components). Parts of the framework are even various degrees of open sourced.

Should we tell them? ;)

Is there a "government" version or similar, where security is paramount? Like, how does MS sell windows 11 to the navy or whatever...?
