    Upcoming Chromium Update Could Make Ad Blockers Less Effective

    We deploy Firefox ESR on our domain. Mozilla was kind enough to provide GPO templates that allow the loading of extensions as well. Consequently every domain joined computer now has Firefox ESR with uBlock Origin installed and enabled.

    The RetroArch Emulator Is in Development for the XBOX One

    That's not what the documentation says: "To switch to Retail Mode, open Dev Home. Under Quick Actions, select Leave Dev Mode. This will restart your console in Retail Mode." It's just a restart, NOT a factory reset.

    Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Development Dumps Linux and Mac Support

    LOL. Vulkan, with its lack of support for ray-tracing or workload balancing across multiple chips from multiple different vendors? Vulkan that is still at least half a generation behind DX in development? Vulkan that still can't even match the performance of DX11 in some workloads? That...

    The Evolution of the Windows Kernel

    LG 4K OLED Rollable TV

    This looks like it would be a nice alternative to short throw projectors and screens in classroom settings. I wonder if it would be cost competitive.

    I have done work with a college that has some devices like that they have been using for years that run on Windows 7. Of course Samsung has the better marketing, so.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Google Is Pulling YouTube off the Fire TV and Echo Show

    "Nobody wants to acknowledge that Google has grown big and bad, but it has. Schmidt’s tenure as CEO saw Google integrate with the shadiest of U.S. power structures as it expanded into a geographically invasive megacorporation" -Julian Asange "A monopoly both in search and advertising, Google...

    'Future city' to be Built in Canada by Alphabet company

    No, Rouge Tadhg was right. Alphabet is an umbrella company, and is a parent of Google and many other former Google sub companies.

    'Future city' to be Built in Canada by Alphabet company

    "Google is more than a business. Google is a belief system." -Google Chairman Eric Schmidt "I actually think most people don't want Google to answer their questions. They want Google to tell them what they should be doing next." -Google Chairman Eric Schmidt Sounds about right.

    Microsoft Announces Edge for iOS and Android

    Microsoft Claims 71% Of Windows 10 Users Are Happy With Telemetry

    It has to do with telemetry. If people are ok having their privacy violated by the worst data harvester of all with Google, then those people are ok with telemetry. No point in being intellectually lazy and trying to conflate product behavior as some justification for the "legitimate concerns"...

    Acer Releases Rugged Chromebook C771

    Statcounter gave ChromeOS a laughable 0.46% share last month. If it weren't for Google holding Android and OHA membership over the heads of OEMs to "encourage" them to support ChromeOS I don't think there would be so many Chromebooks. The market is just abysmally small.

    Teenagers Think Google Is Cool, Study by Google Finds

    Well if Google says so... Oo My own experience is that many teens do not like GAFE being forced on them by schools, and that whatever the Administration is pushing is decidedly uncool, causing a bit of a backlash among teens. I guess Google missed that.
