It just comes down to the community and what kinds of creative stuff they can come up with....

But PCs Have Gone All Digital. What’s the Problem? Before getting to the console side of things, a common argument in the gaming community is that PC gaming has gone fully-digital years ago and has mostly been perfectly fine. It’s true that you can’t really buy games on disc for PC anymore, and virtually no computer comes with an optical drive as standard. However, the crucial difference is that PC games are sold on an open market....
The advent of USB Type-C means you can charge most of your devices with a single adapter and cable, and the more recent rollout of GaN technology makes those chargers smaller than ever.

The Anker Nano II 65W is a compact USB Type-C wall charger, and as the name suggests, it can deliver up to 65W charging to any compatible device....

BMW revealed its third-generation BMW X1 SUV today, with a “more prominent design,” a raised seating position, button engine start, Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, a ‘BMW Maps’ navigation system, an optional trailer tow hitch, and improved driver assistance systems compared to the previous generation. BMW will sell several gas-powered versions of the X1, but the company is also introducing an electric version, called the BMW iX1 (notice the ‘i’ in front)....
Like anybody that has a website, I love Google Analytics… but it drives me crazy that the default view is for the last 30 days when I really just want to see what has happened today. The only way to check for today is to manually change the date in the report, so I hooked up a bookmarklet to do that for me. With a small modification, you can use the same bookmarklet for your own use....
Do All EVs Use the Same Plug? While most EVs can charge at home and at various public charging stations, they do not all use the same charging connector, or “plug.” Some can only plug into certain levels of charging station, some require adapters to charge at higher power levels, and some have multiple outlets to plug a connector into when charging. What Types of EV Plugs Are There? Some electric cars use industry standards like the J1772 connector, while others have their own hardware....

Now you will get a dialog asking you how you want to copy the picture. If you want to paste the picture into any application, you’ll need to select “As shown on screen”, and then “Bitmap”....
Not only is The Simpsons the longest running animated sitcom ever, it’s also had a penchant for predicting major events—including national catastrophes and presidential elections—years in advance. Before any of this though, there was The Simpsons arcade game. Long ago in my wistful youth, I’d hang out at a local pizza joint and dump token after token into a machine just like this one. Gliding along on Bart Simpson’s skateboard, I spent hours bashing baddies alongside familiar faces, like Homer, Marge, Lisa, and Maggie....
Before we begin: I’d definitely recommend keeping the firewall enabled at all times. To disable the popup messages shown above, right-click on the little red shield icon and choose Open Security Center from the menu. You could also open Security Center from the start menu. Click the link for “Change the way Security Center alerts me” Now you’ll see a dialog with three choices. Choose the bottom one if you don’t want the notifications anymore....

First, open up the Katapult configuration dialog (try this if you can’t find it) Now you have two options. The first option is to just disable the Amarok Catalog entirely, by clicking on Catalogs and then removing Amarok Catalog from the list. Or, you could click on Amarok in the list, and then change the number of characters before searching, which should dramatically improve your Katapult speed. Personally, I just disabled it, because I have little interest in searching my music collection through Katapult… but that’s really up to you....

How Services Can Spot VPNs The only ones in a position to answer that question definitively are the streaming services themselves, and they, unsurprisingly, didn’t reply to our messages. However, among VPN providers, there are some educated guesses as to the how and why of their connections getting blocked. Most VPN providers agree that streaming services block specific IP addresses—the set of numbers that shows your location in the real world— associated with VPNs....
Why Bother Benchmarking Your iPhone? Synthetic benchmarks place your device under an easy to repeat load and provide you with a score afterward. Unlike real-world usage, benchmarking tools conduct the exact same tests every time so you can monitor for any changes without having to account for other variables. Benchmarking has been traditionally reserved for PC enthusiasts looking for a simple way to test and improve performance. This is useful when testing any overclocks that have been applied, but can also be used to gauge smaller adjustments like case airflow or thermal paste application....
Sometimes you need Command Prompt open to a specific folder, but opening Command Prompt and then changing the directory manually requires typing several lines. Why not open it directly in the folder you need? How to Launch Command Prompt the Address Bar Windows 10 lets you launch Command Prompt in a folder through the File Explorer’s address bar. Type “cmd” in the address bar and then hit Enter. Command Prompt should open with its directory set to the folder you’re currently viewing....
