One time my cousin managed to delete his sound and wifi drivers, there was no other computer around, thank fully I had my phone so I was able to download all the drivers and fix it for him.

Finally, a smartphone that doesn't bend ?

You're not looking at it the right way...(says Steve Jobs....)
 
that's not a brick...it's a portable video-capable self-defense weapon.

I now fully believe that someone went back in time, fucked shit up, and we live in an alternate reality.

nothing here is normal

what the fuck is going on

So, you're saying that you're fine with stealing from other people, as long as you can make a buck out of it? That doesn't give a particularly flattering image of you as a person.

fuck, I was still considering if I should apply for this.

Who here remembers when @Morgan MLGman brought to our attention what was still an "innovation" back then as the Mining tendency was still exploding and every one needed to jump right into it?
The original idea was quite alright, in shorts you'd mine through their client and Games From Space would keep the actual mined coins (didn't disclosed which coin your GPU was actually mining) and reward the user 'points' instead.
 
This way any one regardless how "noob" you were about mining could jump right into it with little to no hassle, mining through their client was extremely easy and the points system that could be used to get games for "free" was very straight forwards, the game selection was quite alright and you'd receive serial keys to activate said games on popular platforms like Steam:

 
So to minors or simply people not interested with the issues of an e-wallet and go through the means to withdraw the coins as actual money could still put their hardware to use for decent games in exchange.
 
All of this however is over about half a year later as due to the constant crashes of cryptocurrencies, decrease in popularity as a whole has pushed this business into unsustainable levels, their shutting down notice was sent through e-mail to all those who registered to it and is as follow:

 
Sometimes you have the best ideas… at the wrong time.

Due to the current circumstances (value of crypto dropping drastically), it is not possible for us to continue operating Games from Space. Unfortunately, the added value for all of us, is no longer there. Therefore, after much deliberation, we had to decide that we will close down Games from Space.
We want to thank each and every one of you for your trust, thank you for starting this journey together with us, it was a pleasure!
Please spend your remaining Space Coins until the 18th of January - then we will turn off the servers and go offline.
It was an honor for us to fly with you, we hope you enjoyed the ride with us!
A very special thank you to Blair (Beaker), Mark (DeathMetallic) and Cameron! It wouldn’t have been possible without you.
All the best from Berlin,
Amir, Nik, Tom, Mot & Viktor ~ Games From Space Team.

It seems that mining is now getting behind us and will eventually be just a salty remembrance in the minds of gamers.

I really don't see anything wrong here.

TheVerge reports that Siri thinks Donald Trump is a dick. Asking Siri what Donald Trump's age is returns information as well as a picture of a dick.
 
TheVerge has censored the image.

 
 
I don't even know tbh. Thanksgiving or something. ?

It's bendgate all over again, you'd think they would have learned their lesson by now.
 
Even worse, this is happening on their new "pro" device.

My thought:
? I don't even know if this is a joke... I guess it's the best cyber security if you don't bloody go on the cyber world? 
Jokes aside, maybe we should be more careful when using Japanese government's online services. God knows what "policies" he'd approved. And seriously, how would he know what to suggest and approve for "cyber security"?

As a premium user, this is not fucking anyone, Spotify is giving a feature that I have never used to free users, it's simply a good business move.

Spotify is screwing over Premium users and giving Free users access to Spotify Connect. Spotify Connect has been a Premium only feature since it launched many years ago but now Spotify has decided to bring it to the Free tier and in the process screws over Premium customers.
 
Free users will need their Wi-Fi enabled speakers to receive a firmware update before they can start using this on speakers.
 
 
I'm very dissapointed with this and throughout this year I feel like the amount of perks that Premium offers has been reduced. I'm not entirely sure why considering it is the 20% (Premium Customers) who are providing 80% of the revenue whilst the 80% (Free Users) provide only 20% of the revenue. Seems like Spotify's got their priorities the wrong way around.

Netflix alone uses 300GB of data per month from EACH computer in my house, you have to seriously hate technology to get by with that 100-200 GB data cap per month.

I seriously question their (Intel) intelligence. The marketing department should know these will be picked apart under a microscope. 
 
All this does at best is make them look incompetent , and at worst outright lying. 
 
I hope someone gets fired over this.

I'd love to see what their definition of "very low latency" is.

Cloudflare is getting into the Registrar Business and is promising dirt cheap domain.
 
They want to sell domain names at no profit and just sell domains at the price it costs to register one with a TLD and ICANN.
 
They're allegedly doing this because they believe Registrars currently charge a huge Markup for being middlemen and the CEO allegedly feels strongly about it.
 
 
 
I'm genuinely interested as to why they're persuing this if it's not gonna make them profit. The only way this makes business sense would be that customers who signup for this may eventually spend money on profitable products and in the short term this gives them good PR.

Yeah because consumers are ignorant and listen to the marketing propaganda of someone with a huge stake in the company.
