TechSpot can't help but sellout in their own editor picks
  • The actual reselling is done by a shell company that disappears and reappears with a different name when hit by lawyers.

    This website just gets referral money from each sale, they're not selling the grey market keys

  • In rare move from printing industry, HP actually has a decent idea
  • Or.... just copy the text that you want to print in libreoffice and print from there

    Moreover, I don't understand why HP is wasting lots of server processing power for this. If someone prints one page instead of 47, then they can downgrade from the highest plan of their ink subscription with 100 monthly pages to the lowest cheapest plan with only 15 pages. Maybe they plan to include a page with sponsored coupons in the printout?

  • Shopping website search is terrible
  • Many shopping sites are based on woocommerce, which is an ugly hack transforming a blogging platform in a store.

    Like if you take a school and made it a supermarket with all the goods scattered on the desks in the classrooms.

    Sucks at performance and sucks at search.

  • And the best part is that while the key is valid, the license isn't, so technically you're paying for a pirated app

    (Explanation: those keys come from msdn or from a Microsoft partner action pack - they activate and look legit, but are licensed only for development and internal testing for that company)

  • The Extreme Cost of Training AI Models.
  • It's obvious that Google didn't pay the crazy AWS prices to train Gemini, seeing how many servers they have in gcp.

    They mean that they used creative accounting to pay themselves crazy gcp usage bills to deduct from taxes?

  • VPS encryption
  • not a technical but you can't just do full disk encryption and put the password manually at every single boot?

    It seems very unlikely that a reputable hosting company would snoop even in that case

    If we're talking about 3 letter agencies, for the dedicated servers they'll directly seize the disks...

  • How to save on Spyro?

    For the first time in my life I'm playing Spyro, the original from 1998.

    I played around 20 minutes in the starting fields, found the required ten dragons to go on the hot air balloon but then I had some real life problem and I had to turn off. In all the playtime it didn't ask me to save and once a dragon freed said "the game saves a check point every time you free a dragon".

    So I restarted the console and... No save...

    How to save?

    Can't rename my iPhone

    For some reason my iPhone is called "iPhone (2)" and that bothers me to no end. But i can't find the way to rename it, the name can't be clicked and no textbox appears.

    This phone was given to me by my employer. Do they have the power to restrict this?
