- Comment on Helldivers 2, Spider-Man 2, and more PlayStation titles have been freed from their region lock prison on PC 8 hours ago:
Sony wanted the games to require PSN login. They got enough pushback that they stopped, but they left the games locked out for regions that don’t have PSN.

If your primary usecase is text, don’t get a color e-reader. There are significant downsides to the display quality for very little benefit.
If you are wanting to read comics, manga, or illustrated guides, then you will want the color.
I’m a big fan of the Kobo Libra design. It’s friendly to software mods and has a rail for holding it with a nice big button that sits under the thumb for page turning.
I find that the Kindle-style thin bezel gives no comfortable way to hold an e-reader since the only good place to put your thumb is on the screen, the primary input method. It leads to a bad experience and turns people off from e-readers.

I tossed KOReader on my Kobo Libra 2 recently after a year of thinking it didn’t add anything useful. Oh boy, was I wrong.
It’s so much faster, I can dial in the formatting exactly how I want it, and I can customize the inputs to my liking. Page turn only on buttons, tap a corner to toggle dark mode, etc.

Please note that this is based on a Reddit post from three years ago. It’s a YouTuber that stokes drama for money doing what he does best.
- Comment on These Linksys routers are likely transmitting cleartext passwords 10 months ago:
They are predicting the pixel layout of the user’s screen, prerendering the passwords, and then transmitting them as images?!
That’s commitment to crisp text rendering!
- Comment on These racing game players are 11 days into an exhausting race to climb a deadly tower 1 year ago:
What’s almost more crazy is that a few of the tiny number of people who finished the first one went on to speed run it. Skipping entire sections with crazy shortcuts, nailing insane maneuvers over and over.
A shocking amount of the difficulty is in knowledge.
