An absolute ton of Reddit users browse the site via apps too. Something to keep in mind.

I still agree that Facebook is larger though.

My 3 months of mining back in the day (aka heating my apartment with video cards instead of electric heaters) netted me about $4000 a few months ago. I found it hilarious.

Interestingly PowerShell is petty awesome in that regard. You pass around objects instead of trying to parse strings and things.

No different than HEVC or anything else. My CPUs are a few generations behind (i7-4790K and i5-4690K) and they can't hardware decode/encode HEVC.

Extremely common in many parts of the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence_of_circumcision

All of my past couple laptops have been touchscreens. I never find it that useful honestly. It just ends up leaving fingerprints all over the screen.

The winter of 2016/2017 was really bad here in Portland and caused an unbelievable amount of damage to our roads. Whole portions of streets came up from the freeze/thaw. It was nuts and they're STILL in the process of fixing them, not that the roads in Portland proper were ever that great in the first place.

Commercial flights have actually slowed down for efficiency reasons. They were faster in the '70s.

What size is that? I run a 34" 3440x1440 21:9 and it's nearly a bit too wide.

The more RAM you have, the more your OS will use. My 16GB laptop is currently using 8-9GB and I don't have much open. What's the point of RAM if you don't use it? If I get low on free RAM, but OS will discard some unneeded stuff but otherwise it properly uses it as a cache.

I don't see Intel going out of business any time soon...

That would make a hell of a racket. They more likely boiled their brake fluid or something, possibly due to a stuck caliper.

I thought for sure you'd be wrong, but nope!

The ~600 person distributed company I work for doesn't use phone or email and obviously doesn't do anything face to face. We relied on IRC for years before switching to Slack so yes, all of our real-time communication is via Slack. We have internal blogs for threaded important async discussion though, but Slack is where our high bandwidth talk done.

You can actually connect to Slack via IRC: https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/201727913-Connect-t...

Yep, my CPU (i7-4790K @ 4.7 GHz) smokes my dual GTX 780s in hash rate for Monereo.

Because even when you're not paying for electricity, there's much more profitable coins to mine.

Really interesting video about that: https://youtu.be/8e-H4sEHB54

Isn't Dr. Pepper currently distributed through Pepsi? I wonder how this will affect that.

Even better than Google Maps? It tells you what lane to be in and everything.

I pay my townhouse rent via Google Wallet. I assure you it's alive and well.

I use Developer as my only browser. Never had any issues. It's not a buggy alpha version or something.

There's usually a sign somewhere inside the restaurant.

As a gamer, it sucks terribly. I want a 1080 Ti but they're impossible to find for a reasonable price.

tor isn't a VPN service, it's an anonymizer. The end node could still sniff your traffic presumably.

Yes, of course because the comment I was replying to was about location being worthless in general.

On the contrary. Maybe if you're on a hardwired desktop, but for everything else it is incredibly accurate. You don't even need to have GPS in your device -- WiFi is plenty.

Try it: https://whereamirightnow.com/ It puts my laptop exactly where I am.

I recently switched from a MacBook Pro running Boot Camp to a Surface Laptop (not the Pro aka tablet) and I'm absolutely in love. The battery life is ridiculous -- a claimed 14 of video playback but even in my real world heavy usage, I still get about 8. I also never thought I'd find a touchpad as good as Apple's but I'm actually liking Microsoft's more.

It's a really, really good proper laptop. I think my only complaint is that it only has one USB port (A-type), but seeing as the only thing I use USB for anymore is charging my phone, it's not a deal breaker.
