Try again. I’ve been on Chromebooks for the past seven years. A virtual machine for Linux support only really impacts the small minority of Chromebook users. Other than that, the base OS has been virtually the same for close to a decade.  Read more

As long as it’s running on the PS5, you should be able to play any PS4 games. All the device does is stream your PS5 to the controller over Wi-Fi. Read more

Oof, nice catch. Read more

You’re definitely correct. We’ve updated our post.  Read more

There’s a little ticket that appears when you search for threads on Instagram. Click it and you’ll get the ticket. Not like it’s actually useful since you can just sign up tomorrow anyway. Read more

Oh yes, we writers know and feel that irony plenty. Read more

I have indeed tried putting in that extra force (which in my estimation puts an uncomfortable amount of strain on the hinge) and you can get it flatter, but it’s not 180 degrees flat. Even with a case that accounts for the camera enclosure, it’s more like 178.X degrees. I was told from a young age to never to screw a… Read more

Damn, you’re right. Thanks for the heads up. Read more

Aww. Thanks for stopping by.

Whelp, it’s official. I failed basic math.  Read more

The linux-based SteamOS does its job suitably well. What’s annoying to me is that Microsoft has these opportunities to put itself front and center in this space but seems to decline every opportunity. Steam Deck and its competitors prove there’s a hunger for handheld consoles. Microsoft doesn’t even need to make… Read more

I personally have had my own horrible time with OneDrive, and I know others who similarly have struggled when the program tries to take over all your files at once. I recently had to reinstall Windows 10 on my home PC and it was a pain in the ass because of OneDrive. I stick with Google Drive for that reason, as I can… Read more

You would be correct, though now I’m trying to think what would be the correct application for “nut major.” Read more

And to be clear, I liked that copyeditor, even if he made my life hell. Read more

Oh don’t worry, I know when the comments are well-intentioned. You remind me of my British copyeditor at my last job at a small paper on Long Island. Read more

I mean, I don’t disagree. We’ll see how effective it is when it finally comes out. Just the functionality of downloading a whole separate app seems haphazard in this day and age. Even Meta’s planning to stick messenger back into Facebook.  Read more
