No in-game purchases is a dealbreaker but if they are available from the Amazon store that would solve that issue. In-app purchases are way cheaper on Amazon since you can just buy $500 of coins at once and get a significant discount.

> On my Android device, I also have auto-update turned on, because my only option is to turn it on for every app or none of them.

Open the Signal store page and click the dots in the top right of the screen and untick Automatic Updates.

> Also: if you’re doing 2160p 10bit HDR, there’s no chance those Rokus are going to play them anyway.

I have some 10bit 2160p ATMOS remux movies that are huge 50GB MKV files and I stream them over my gigabit LAN to a no-name $80 Android box I got off some obscure Chinese marketplace and it plays them back perfectly with full HDR and my amp gets the atmos signal too.

If your device has hardware based x264/x265 chips it can decode them with very little processing power.

My dad downloads x264 in 720p sometimes by accident and he say the 1gb file is too big so before he watches it he will open his old version of DivX official converter software and encode it into 480p with some really low bitrate 'fast encode' setting that makes his 1gb mp4 into a 300mb avi. The blocks are so huge and noticeable it makes me think he's watching .RM files from the 90s lol but hey at least he saves room on his NAS right?

Yeah my PC with 6700k and GTX 1080 really struggles with x265 4K playback which is an incredibly laggy screen tearing mess. On my $50 Android box which has a hardware decoding chip for it the same video files run perfectly, butter smooth.

> The scene values quality. It's why their file sizes seem large to some.

So many groups are still releasing shows & movies in XviD so I don't think that's necessarily true, you think by now everyone would be on x264.

RIP VET Anti-Virus :( CA Anti-Virus was so bad.

I installed WinZip on my PC a few years ago because it's the only archiver i'd found that let you view image thumbnails without extracting the whole ZIP, pretty cool feature.

Nope, skin tight latex. It shows off the parts you don't want to see!

> Can share (without giving away names) what strategies you used to suss this out?

> I had the extraordinary opportunity to talk to the manager for the role, their manager, and two people who had previously been in the role (Netflix wasn't aware that I knew those people).

He knew people that worked there already.

You can retroactively add devices as of iOS 11 they have enabled it through Apple Configurator on any Mac device.

Considering most eBooks with the free first book are like $0.99-$3 a book after you take out Amazons normal profit cut for the book they probably aren't really paying that much for the free book anyway so it makes it worth their while to do it this way.

I mistook the title to refer to the Prince of Persia (2008) reboot of the franchise haha. Cool read though.

I dug into the source code and I believe it's caused by this:

ui-path-scroll .post__article{-webkit-transition:height 1s;transition:height 1s}

They set a transition length in the css so your browser is just obeying the style sheet. Doubt there is any way to override this without a browser extension.

Those inhumane monsters

I can only recall certain number combinations and I never bothered to do the drills to learn my multiplication tables. I can multiply very basic things (fives, tens, elevens) but aside from that I gotta use a calculator.

Takes me awhile to calculate things in my head and i'm often off by around 5-9 from the actual answer when I do work it out.

I know a bunch of methods of solving things though so if I have a calculator handy I can calculate the stuff I want but mental arithmetics was never something I valued as a kid.

I switched to using EM Client for Exchange stuff, it's got an impressive feature set.

> Even after adding 15 uMatrix rules I couldn't get it to work (whitelisted everything that wasn't tracking i.e. Google Analytics, Segment, ShareThis).

Wouldn't it just be easier to disable uMatrix temporarily for his site? That being said the site just brings up an error page for me too.

That website is a very cool 'game' haha I like it a lot :)

Does it come with a PS2->USB adapter so you can connect it via a PS2 port? Better input handling than USB :)

You might want to checkout the Elephone P5000

It's the same with ultrabook manufacturers killing the ethernet port :(

They've changed it now so if you want to signup for a Google account it asks for your existing email and has a text link to signup for a gmail. If you are on the gmail landing page and hit sign up then it's how you stated though.

I think he meant DB9

That third video was awesome. That footage of the guy playing q3test must've had the best computer at the LAN, it was running sweet!

Apple caught onto people getting storage upgrade for a reasonable price and made it so those phones will be bricked if you update them to the latest iOS. Scumbag Apple as usual :(

Have you tried Windows 10 on it? Windows 7 is pretty old now and doesn't have much support for newer hardware. Your performance would be much better on Windows 10.

Would've made more sense for a POP email library.
