Not mentioned in the OP is that both discussions include a setting to enable middle mouse button paste for those who want it; it will just be off by default. Everyone calm down.

Probably best to never follow Alberta on anything while Smith is in charge.

The full tweet:

Majority of gamers are still playing at 1080p and have no use for more than 8GB of memory. Most played games WW are mostly esports games. We wouldn't build it if there wasn't a market for it. If 8GB isn't right for you then there's 16GB. Same GPU, no compromise, just memory options.

I don't think he's that far off; eSports games don't have the same requirements as AAA single-player games.

The headline is misleading. The full quote from the CEO is

My first message would be, if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox.

That should just be common sense.

It would take effect on Tuesday and would be in place until the fentanyl overdose issue is sorted.

Any retaliatory tariffs by Canada should be in place until the guns coming from the US issue is sorted.

Reminder that Bethesda is owned by Microsoft, the company that insists it's going to end support for Windows 10 in October and wants everyone to move to Windows 11, which doesn't officially support perfectly functional but somewhat old CPUs. So of course they don't care about GPUs too old to support ray tracing.

They publish games that focus heavily on getting new swimsuits for their "daughters". What did they expect to happen?

There was a time when sneering at international law would not have been a good look for someone aspiring to be Prime Minister of Canada.

But, charting new territory, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre contemptuously called Justin Trudeau “woke” for indicating Canada would abide by a ruling of the International Criminal Court (ICC) — a court that Canada helped establish to punish war criminals.

Poilievre specifically rejects the legitimacy of the ICC charges against Netanyahu, on the specious grounds that Netanyahu was democratically elected.

The terms of service have now been updated, but ordinarily that occurs well before a big change like using user data for a new purpose like this. The idea is it gives users an option to make account changes or leave the platform if they don’t like the changes. Not this time, it seems.

They should be required to delete their training data and start over after people have had a chance to opt in.

This isn't just in the US; I've got the setting in Canada and I'd assume it's in just about any country where LinkedIn is available that isn't on the very short list of exceptions.

the only complaint came from a Russian boxing body with a history of making suspect claims in the past

And that was only after she defeated a previously undefeated Russian. Sounds an awful lot like sore losers making up excuses.

The standard fine for violating the STOCK Act is $200, but frequently the House Committee on Ethics and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics waive the fee.

Craig Holman, a Capitol Hill lobbyist on ethics and campaign finance rules for nonprofit Public Citizen, said the fee is one of two reasons why the STOCK Act is frequently violated.

“The penalty is so minimal that these millionaire members of Congress really don't care about it," Holman told Raw Story. “The second provision is the ethics committees are not really enforcing it or taking it seriously.”

So basically this "law" is just a suggestion.

If Nancy Pelosi caused the insurrection why didn't your people try to charge her instead of focusing on Hunter Biden?
