    Ex-Fox host claims Facebook defamed him by fact-checking climate change videos

    I remember when John Stossel wasn't a complete tool. It is kind of sad/funny to watch his epic quest into batsh*t nuttery. There was a time where he would have defended a media outlet's right to post a disclaimer. But now, since he is personally being affected, it is a huge injustice, and he is...

    Diablo II: Resurrected impressions: An uneasy walk through old, remade dungeons

    I'd love to play this, but Blizzard would rather protect sexual predators and cover up suicides, or bow down to China, rather than being a minimally decent company. VV did good work. Too bad they did it for a crappy group of corporate stooges.

    Microsoft’s Windows 11 outreach efforts aren’t going very well

    Windows 8 was a solid idea for a change in computing that never actually happened. MS thought "TABLETS!', but forgot that laptops and desktops are still a mainstream thing. I very much loved the attempt to consolidate the UI across Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. I miss my Windows Phone every...

    Microsoft’s Windows 11 outreach efforts aren’t going very well

    This is the funniest thing I have seen this week. I guess they forgot the /s.

    Epic seems to have paid $10.5 million for Control’s PC exclusivity

    Due to exclusivity, I have not bought Control or Borderlands 3, both games I had planned on buying at release. As long as publishers are dedicated to Epic Games' store, they have lost me as a PC game player of their games. It sucks for me, but if they don't want to sell to me, I'll buy...

    The ten best console racing games of all time

    Wipeout XL is burned into my memories. Loved that game. I loved Wipeout too( Karbonis V had a chicane toward the finish line that was magical), but XL got all the parts working together in a near perfect game.

    Shenmue III devs offering refunds for backers expecting Steam keys

    When Epic has more of a history behind it, then I might bother with it. I'm already missing out on a few games due to this exclusivity nonsense. Publishers don't give a damn about making the game available to buyers. Avoiding paying Value a cut is their only motivation. Epic Games / Tencent...

    Third-largest coal producer in the US files for bankruptcy

    If only someone had said that coal was a dying industry and that we needed to focus on retraining these workers so they wouldn't lose their ability to survive is coal continued to fail. And with trained workers, they could be transitioned into growing markets, like renewables. Oh yeah, I...

    WoW Classic announces testing schedule, full launch on August 27

    Everything they said. LFG and cross realm killed the game for me. When you were trapped on a server, you developed a reputation, and that mattered. I was a healer. I was a good healer and would have multiple requests for my services over any given weekend. I was in a small (12 members) social...

    How this ultra-rare copy of Super Mario Bros. sold for $100,000

    Researchers grow a placenta in a petri dish

    Yes. As a child, Hitler was just a child. No one could have known what kind of person he was going to grown into. Killing him without that knowledge would be wrong. Now if you introduce a time machine into the mix, you can at least have a justification for the killing of kid Hitler, but then...

    Man pleads guilty to swatting attack that lead to death of Kansas man

    Like most times where a cop shoots an innocent person; nothing. Zero accountability must be nice.

    Report: Lucasfilm puts Obi-Wan film “on hold” after underwhelming Solo debut

    I saw it twice. I think Rogue One sold better because it was basically about how the Rebellion got plans to the Death Star, not about characters we already cared about. But Solo is pure fun, and while there are some issues, it deserves better than it is getting, as does the cast.

    President Trump makes news at Space Council meeting by going off script

    It is official. I am old. I have lived long enough where the US government having a military presence in space is a current event again. What next, selling weapons to Iran to fund death squads in Central America?

    Report: Butterfly MacBook Pro keyboards require more frequent, more expensive repairs

    The keyboard on the 2006 MacBook Pro is still my favorite Apple keyboard. I got 7 years of use out of that machine before the bga mounted chips starting causing issues. All chicklet keyboards need to go away.

    California green-lights initiative that’s a conspiracy theorist’s dream

    The title is clickbait. It feels intentionally dishonest since the story isn't really what the title claims. The article is interesting and worth the read. But the title...maybe you should have gone all out with "California Green Lights This! See What Happens Next!!!".

    Amid furor over past sexism, Atari co-founder loses prestigious award

    Just to point it out, Clinton WAS impeached, however, the Senate acquitted him of charges so he got to stay in office. He was not impeached over a consensual sex act, but because he lied under oath about it.
