Because, despite the whole pronouns and genders insanity, conventional English uses "he" when in doubt.

And I wouldn't.

I only tip servers in sit-own restaurants. I don't tip drivers, fast food or coffee shop workers. Sue me.

They are better for human consumption/understanding. Have you ever had to type an IPv6? It's awful.

At least 30% of Americans use an ad blocker.

Pixels are good, if you replace Google's OS by Graphene that is.

Why are people are downvoting you? I hate low-profile tires. They make absolutely no sense.

This. There are no words to describe how asinine Europe's (and in particular Germany's) energy policy is. And it's all self inflicted for largely ideological reasons.

> USA bans the onboard Chinese automotive software for national security reasons, effectively banning Chinese cars.

And that is perfectly reasonable. I go further and disable the cellular modem even in a domestically made car.

The configuration of browsers isn't defensive enough, that is the problem. It's also absurd that most popular websites don't work at all nowadays without Javascript.

Good point, I am looking forward to the day OLED 6K is common. A higher resolution is always better after all. At the moment however I think 32" 4K is pretty much the sweet spot for a single monitor setup however. It's a decent pixel density and high refresh rate panels are avaible.

I guess you guys on Mac don't play games. There is no GPU that can provide a consistently good framerate at 5K in a recent game. And that Mac monitor is probably 60Hz, so it's not a clear win over 120Hz+ at a somewhat lower resolution.

This exactly. All the extra stuff Tailscale provides buys convenience, but increases complexity, the attack surface of the stack, and adds commercial components to an otherwise open protocol. Call me old fashioned but I will keep managing keys manually.

You need to increase UI scaling, not turn down the resolution. All modern desktops support this in some form. I would only lower the resolution if the GPU can't keep up in games after exhausting all other options such as AI upscaling.

It's odd because I can tell right away if a game is set to 60Hz instead of 144Hz when first launched before I adjust the settings. The mouse cursor just feels laggy.
