    Not-so-permadeath: Blizzard revives Hardcore WoW characters killed by DDOS attacks

    DDOS attacks are difficult to conclusively solve. Final Fantasy 14 has been hit as well a few months back by some pretty nasty attacks. MMORPGs are a target.

    Italian court orders Google to block IPTV pirate sites at DNS level

    ...we aren't talking a private DNS server that you're hosting in your bedroom. We are talking public-facing DNS servers that communicate with the rest of the world. The impact is worldwide.

    Anti-vaccine group founded by RFK Jr. weaponizes child’s measles death

    This is the same thinking with COVID-19 and it'll be the same thing here: Better dead, than wrong. They'll gasp for air and in their final moments, steadfastly refuse to believe.

    New PebbleOS watches with more battery and familiar looks are up for preorder

    Yeah it could be possible. But will it happen? That's hard to say. It's a qualified maybe.

    New PebbleOS watches with more battery and familiar looks are up for preorder

    That's a nice thought, but if so, I'd rather wait for that someone to develop it. There's a saying that goes "never buy a device for what they promise". In this case it's not a promise but rather something that could potentially happen.

    New PebbleOS watches with more battery and familiar looks are up for preorder

    Anything that's medical-grade would have multiple leads and points. Of course there's no way it'll do the equivalent of what they have in the hospital, but it is still something nonetheless. I know reddit haters will jump up and down and insist that "no NO the Apple Watch didn't save you, you...

    New PebbleOS watches with more battery and familiar looks are up for preorder

    Those brokerage fees are killer, agreed. It's crazy - by the time you pay for them, the cost would have added up to the point that you might as well have bought something local, and for cheaper.

    New PebbleOS watches with more battery and familiar looks are up for preorder

    As an Apple Watch user, the Pebble seems like it could replace it, but unfortunately it cannot: - Mirror notifications from my iPhone. I don't mean just iMessage, but also 2-factor authentication stuff too. Just tapping your Apple Watch to answer the 2-factor prompt is really nice. People seem...

    New PebbleOS watches with more battery and familiar looks are up for preorder

    Thank you for making this post to say what I wished I could much more of: Nobody remembers Core 2 Duo? That's a bold statement.

    Roku says unpopular autoplay ads are just a test

    You will never see a full volume ad for diapers or Questrade suddenly blare out the speakers, sitting at the home screen.

    Roku says unpopular autoplay ads are just a test

    They do. You will be paying a little more but in my case, I bought a Sony Bravio. It's not connected to the Internet.

    Google’s 10-year-old Chromecast is busted, but a fix is coming

    Certificate renewal is part of any IT infrastructure "must-do" calendar thing. Certs are everywhere - I'm more surprised Google paid for a 10-year cert for something as inexpensive as a Chromecast. I would have expected them to go with 3-year.

    Google will finally fix awesome (but broken) song detection feature for Pixels

    That must feeling like when you're about to do a tech demo of something, and of course it doesn't work in front of a big audience. But when you're alone, yup it's all good...most of the time.

    Google will finally fix awesome (but broken) song detection feature for Pixels

    When it's broken in hardware, oh it's totally fixable in software! Seems to be the Google way but you never really know.

    Google will finally fix awesome (but broken) song detection feature for Pixels

    Indeed, it works when it does. Not reliable enough to be 100%, but hey!

    Thank God it's working for him and broken for so many others. Some work some don't I guess.

    Pixel Watch 3 gets FDA approval to alert you if you’re dying

    People seem to be suggesting that. No, don't wear an Apple Watch because naw, what's the difference? It can't help you, it'll never help you, and just...don't do anything.

    Pixel Watch 3 gets FDA approval to alert you if you’re dying

    Thank you. I've seen more than one reddit commenter absolutely insist, up and down, that the Apple Watch warning you, was not the reason you were saved. You would have gone to the doctor anyways, watch or no watch.

    "I'm sorry, but I don't understand that. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
