Trickle down economics, because they're pissing on you.

I just wish each video decoder manufacturer didn't feel the need to create their own API that isn't supported by anything.

You might need to turn your system volume down so that an application at full volume isn't deafening.

Apparently he thought it would be funny to interfere with our immigration enforcement operations.

I mean, he was right.

High resolution graphical assets are big. That's why we're now getting 32GB video cards in desktop PCs.

Sure, nobody's doing super high end graphics on a phone, but it doesn't take much high resolution art to take a big bite out of that 6GB. Phones don't have separate system and video RAM, remember.

That's because empty RAM is wasted RAM.

You want to keep RAM full of stuff you aren't using right now. That stuff can be erased almost instantly if you need the RAM for something else. That's why OSs list "Available RAM" and "Free RAM" as two separate things.

Removing all the idle apps from RAM just means you need to wait longer every time you open one of them.

According to the Sailor Moon dub, they're 'cousins'.

Being male is a huge advantage when gaming - I don't know how I'd even game without both hands on the keyboard and controlling the mouse with my dick.

Sudden onset defenestration. It's an epidemic.

The 'drop her a message' link needs to be a lot more obvious, IMO.

Obligatory: Just one more lane, bro

the ICQ age

There's a blast from the past. Uh oh!

IIRC TRIM commands just tell the SSD that data isn't needed any more and it can erase that data when it gets around to it.

The SSD might not have actually erased the trimmed data yet. Makes it even more important to turn it off ASAP and send it away to a data recovery specialist if it's important data.

See, things don't always get worse when you open Windows.

Have you cleaned the inside of your windscreen?

They can get scratched up, but if you haven't cleaned the inside of the glass before, most of the crud is probably there and cleaning it will make a huge difference.

That's because small businesses know there's half a dozen competitors within a 20 minute drive and care about keeping your business.

When there's two huge corporations that own the market between them, there's more profit in not competing than they'd get by trying to win customers from each other.

To be fair, those cars don't just get set on fire when they're done with them. They're supplying the used car market.

It's a terrible idea financially, but it isn't actually wasteful.

Probably it's cheaper to get 60 used low-end devices than one device that can run 60 copies of the Facebook app.

Reminds of when companies offshored their whole dev team and just sent requirements to them thinking they’d make code cheaper.

I mean, it was cheaper. It's just that it was also awful. It was basically like firing all your senior devs and giving their work to randos who can't code, but with plausible deniability.
