- Comment on ISPs say their “excellent customer service” is why users don’t switch providers 4 weeks ago:
I don’t switch providers because, for whatever reason, fiber only covers like 99.9% of my city and I don’t have any way to get them to cover the remaining parts.
Believe me, if I could track down how/why they laid fiber and prove that they should’ve done it to my house then I would. I just don’t know to begin that process. I’ve heard fiber was laid using public grants which is why I even think it might be a possibility.

Please die.
Please.

- Comment on Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store 2 months ago:
Especially when you realize how little they get for serving you the ad. But they charge way more to stop showing them.

Emulators have been legal in the past I thought. Sure, there’s something to be said about common sense and developing emulators for current generation platforms.

I have a hard time believing HDR wasn’t around in 2017 in some capacity. This sounds like a big that existed on launch, yeah?
