The era of random apps trying to post on my wall made me never use Facebook for sign on. Well that, and Facebook

Never buy chain pizza at menu price. They all run specials all the time, that are around half off. They keep menu prices high so that they can constantly run buy one get one promos and specials to make you think you're getting a deal. They also happen to gouge people who won't bother checking the deals section

The amount of man hours this would require would bankrupt even Google. You'd be better off building a new index of whitelisted sites

A URL query is pretty damn low on things that make me feel like a fancy nerd. Add it by default to your browser's search function so it applies to all searches automatically

It's not scalable. Sure you could have humans comb through the most common 1000 or so results, but there's got to be billions of unique searches every day

Wonder if that strictly means lessons learned in development, or if it hints at onboard processing like a Quest. I've been more impressed with smaller headsets like bigscreen than standalone units lately

Fwiw the switch is also significantly more portable. I love my deck but I only use it at home in bed or on the couch. I wouldn't really try using it in public.

trackball mice

But why? These were never more popular than traditional mice

Sounds like you're a millennial with gen alpha kids. The latest generation is struggling to read and write, while millennials are the best typists

This happens to me when I add a word to the dictionary but it happened to be the first word of a sentence at the time I added it, so it got capitalized and now the dictionary thinks it's a proper noun

T9 just adapted the earlier lettering that phones already had on the numbers. '1-800-COL-LECT' Never intended you to type it as '1-800-222666555-555332228', you'd just dial 1-800-265-5328. but that's what you'd have to do to write it with T9.

I didn't see a single hitscan weapon in the entire trailer. Even the sniper was leading shots. Chaingun seems to be back for all weight classes instead of a dozen different 'assault rifle' weapons with short mags. Maybe they actually learned their lesson on how to make a tribes game this time.
