    Expired certificate causing Firefox to disable all extensions

    Yep, enabled studies, rebooted FF a couple times & I'm good to go again so all settings unchecked & back to the pr0....business as usual.

    MSI Gaming Monitor Stops a Stray Bullet (and Still Works)

    Bethesda, EA, THQ Nordic all need to take a lesson from this. No 8chan, duffel bags, & weak-sauce games. just "MSI: Yeah sure, we'd take a bullet for you."

    RIP PS Vita: Sony Officially Ends Production

    Or they'll dry up entirely & the stupid-crazy prices for 64gb sony cards will get even more insane.

    RIP PS Vita: Sony Officially Ends Production

    I liked my Vita overall, but wasn't impressed with the memory card situation...you know, just like EVERYONE else. Traded it in for a Switch since i thought Nintendo was going to do a better job, then i learned that nintendo struggles with online/internet/social aspects & since my last nintendo...

    A "Legend" Reborn: Logitech Brings Back the MX518 Gaming Mouse

    Think i may still have an old 518 floating around in a box still. Think it was decent enough, but i don't recall enough nostalgia about it to require new tech in an older body design. While about all my peripherals are Logitech due to the usually high reviews they get, i'm by & large just a...

    Bethesda Reportedly Offering Refunds for "Fallout 76" on PC

    As it's going i can't imagine that Bethesda's release date & patch schedule is doing them any favors... To release mid November & drop 1 patch after launch then let things sit over a fairly major US holiday weekend where quite a few people would have both the time & desire to escape their...

    Bethesda Reportedly Offering Refunds for "Fallout 76" on PC

    I find it kinda-sorta OK-ish. As i mentioned elsewhere on teh intarwebz it's a somewhat mediocre game elevated to kinda fun levels by the fact i can coop in the fallout universe with my wife, not a great game that i can coincidentally coop with my wife. But just over the weekend the...

    NPD Predicts Switch Will Be 2018's Best-Selling Console

    I really like the hardware for portable use, it's replaced my PSP & Vita nicely, but i'm mostly let down by the lack of UI features & polish. Useful friend chat-nope, themes-nope, any sort of apps-nope. It's super bare-bones right now & that disappoints. I'm also a bit letdown with the...

    Nissan Testing Easy Ride Service

    *ahem*...So they're testing your Mom? Can't believe i'm the 1st one here to post that, is it a holiday or internet being bombarded with IoT bot attacks again?

    Following Equifax Breach, CEO Doesn’t Know If Data Is Encrypted

    But at the same time they KNEW they would be brought in & raked over the coals, so at the very least the guys at the top needed to say "Pass the word, make sure this can't happen again & get me the bullet points of what IT has done about it." "Herpaderp i don't know." is not acceptable

    PlayStation Boss Sees Limited Potential for Handheld Gaming

    They've done a moderate amount of getting into the vita, but it requires firmware 3.60 & there's no way to downgrade a unit back to that from a higher firmware. Also games made after the 3.60 firmware won't run on the older, so anything newer basically can't run on your custom firmware machine...

    PlayStation Boss Sees Limited Potential for Handheld Gaming

    I enjoyed my vita for quite awhile, but Sony being Sony just kinda burned me out. Memory card prices, system patches that only served to stop piracy & did absolutely nothing for the paying customer experience, then they killed off the NEAR service recently & didn't even un-install it to save...

    Equifax Data Breach Exposes Personal Information of 143 Million

    So are they going to offer a year of free credit monitoring to all affected customers via TransUnion or Experian? :)

    Gearbox Teases That 90% of the Studio Is Working on Borderlands 3

    We'll see. I tried the BL2 "play the exact same game with the lil clumps of enemies in the exact same place over & over & over & over" kool-aid for awhile & got seriously tired of it. Maybe I'm now in the minority as far as MMORPG-ish mechanics. At least BL1 wasn't afraid to just...

    GameStop Investigating Serious Breach Compromising Credit Card Info

    What a PITA. GS is already a divisive retailer in the gaming community & this isn't going to help them. Saddest part is that I only heard about this here, not like GS directly sent out notifications to all their customers.

    GameStop to Close 150 Stores

    Just talked to a local GS employee & he was told it was more like 200+ stores & he thought they'd be lucky to get 30 days notice if their store was closing.

    GameStop to Close 150 Stores

    I do quite a bit @ GS, but that's simply for the Vita physical games that pretty much all other B&M stores have already dropped. I always comparison shop vs Ebay/Amazon & on the games I want GS manages to have an edge price-wise. But I realize that's niche games for a niche console. So it'll...

    GameStop to Close 150 Stores

    "New hardware sales plunged 29%, while new software sales dropped nearly 20%" But didn't I recently see something about how GS was pressuring employees to sell used to the point that the employees were telling customers that new items weren't in-stock? That would be GS' own damn fault.

    Microsoft Sued By Employees Who Developed PTSD After Reviewing Disturbing Content

    I'd think is that MS would WANT the employees to have regular checkups. I mean if they have to watch this full-time, what would that mean for MS if someone started to...enjoy their work... a little too much? You'd think required regular mental healthcare would be bare minimum ass-covering on...

    World’s First Solar Road Opens In France

    Yep & the arguments that advances in technology will increase the road's efficiency can be applied to rooftop solar as well since they use all the same tech. This is about the worst possible application of solar panels, but they'll push on with it anyways & piss a ton of money away.

    The State Of Michigan Just Made Self-Driving-Car History

    Then when you tell your car to go to "insert location" the car will recommend other places depending on whoever pays the highest for google-car search results. Businesses will have to fall inline, all paying google for higher ad placement or risk going under because the car gently redirects...

    The Slow Death Of The Manual Transmission

    I drive a stick in my work car, but it's an old Ford Escort & i'm pretty happy with it vs an auto. I hear coworkers sing the praise of new Electric cars as they'll never wear out since there's so few parts & I sit there thinking "yeah right, car companies have whole teams of engineers designing...

    Craigslist Ad of the Day

    What if someone takes the bj, but leaves the car? Would that make the deal more appealing? I mean we're talking a chevette here... I saw the ad a few days ago while cruising CL, didn't think it'd become this newsworthy, just business as normal, right?

    Is The Self-Driving Car Un-American?

    I'm just waiting for the day when someone comes along & insists on charging extra for the "fast lanes". Folk who don't want to pay will be regulated to the "slow lanes"...now where have I heard this before? I kid but when it comes to jobs/transportation, a person would really be at the mercy...

    Sex Toy Company Sued For Tracking Users’ Habits

    Will Amazon Kill FedEx?

    Considering what I see driving around me every day & how my company treats any sort of vehicle accidents...I'd say having a good/perfect driving record while racking up that many miles a day is a lot more of a rare skill than folk understand.

    Imitation Guns Banned From Games Convention Over Security Fears

    Here's hoping they go forward with this & folk stand up & call shenanigans by simply not attending. If there's an immediate attendance feedback they'll quietly change their tune, but that's the only way it'll truly change things.

    Original Starship Enterprise Restored To Its Former Glory

    After going through most the vids on it, there were sure things that didn't make sense to me. To save the 50yo original glue holding the body together, we're going to add metal straps to the inside of the body & screw it all together. Maybe it's just because I'm not a "professional" but some...

    Anton Yelchin, “Star Trek” Actor, Dies At 27

    I can see Jeep never being able to overcome the perception on this one. No matter what paperwork they come up with to show that it wasn't their fault(legit or otherwise), they'll have a stigma that the 1st death involving their recalled jeep shifter was a promising young actor cut down in his...

    Student Arrested For Live Streaming A Movie On Facebook

    While I may or may not agree with your arguments...no matter how you consider a law being bad or needing revisiting does not in any way change the facts of how the law is now. Under how the law is applied now, piracy is treated as theft. Nobody should be surprised in this day & age how...

    Gearbox Confirms Borderlands 3 Will Be Its Next Game

    ahhhh Ace, keeping it classy like always. I'll just wait & see. While I enjoyed the 1st, the sequel/prequel just didn't do it for me long term. I got damn tired of the "play the exact same game with the exact same enemies in the exact same place every exact same time, but there's replay...

    40,000 Unionized Verizon Workers Walk Off The Job

    No surprise. Reality is a lot more complicated than a small article on the internet no matter how much the human mind wants to shave things down to a=good/b=bad. Guess what? Not all Union workers are total crap who deserve to lose their jobs. Guess what? There are some that are. The...

    Feds Unlock iPhone 5C Used By San Bernardino Terrorist

    I'm betting the FBI had the backup plan for access, but was pushing this particular case as a testbed for trial by public opinion as well as legal precedent. When things weren't quite going as expected on both fronts they back peddled before the chance of it setting precedent not in their...

    Fallout 4 DLC Explained, Season Pass Price Increase Coming

    I don't particularly have an issue with this, although it depends on how much content does finally get added to the SP. I can understand Beth's decision to go this way though, I watched Borderlands2 SP come down & all the bitching that went on when they added additional content outside their...

    Battleborn Available For Pre-Purchase

    Ditto. While I won't get into too much into details about the preview incase someone somewhere gets fussy, I just thought the COOP-side was Ok-ish. Considering GBX's love of having folk play the exact same game over & over & over & over for...
