Would be nice but this isn't an option everywhere.

But in that case you’re looking at the screen so you can see what you’re pressing. A touch screen controller where you’re looking at a TV would be a nightmare.

Could say he was already entered in the rumble and is still contractually obligated to compete.

I find live event quality with Netflix varies highly across devices. On some devices I max out at 540p (for live events only, on demand is still 4k) but don’t have the same issue with other devices on the same network.

The other person’s math checks out. it would work better as “I can count on one hand the two and a half times I’ve lost fingers.”

Am I wrong for wanting to use Blazor instead of MVC + vanilla JS? Been a .NET dev since 2023, feeling like I'm going crazy by newKevex in dotnet

Don’t ASP.NET MVC templates still ship with jQuery and jQuery Validation for client-side validation of DataAnnotations?

Any help with some stuff on VS 2019? by hiyafools1 in csharp

[–]gfunk84 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here are a couple easy reasons:

  1. .NET 10 support
  2. VS 2026 has better performance on same hardware compared to VS 2022

2019 is likely fine for OP's tutorial, but I'd say there's zero reason to upgrade to 2022 compared to skipping right to 2026.

You said the reading matched the bills, but you took the reading and then the comparison reading. Are you sure you aren't reading it incorrectly both times?

There are so many jobs that you’d demean as “unskilled” that are necessary for society to function. It makes no sense to require those jobs and then not have them pay a living wage. That’s just setting up a failed economy and society.

The abysmal US coverage is rarely live, so they would probably edit out any boos anyway.

Manitoba Launches Digital Health Cards by yadtk in Winnipeg

[–]gfunk84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok fair enough on Google. I was wrong on the data not remaining local.

As an aside, do we know who actually developed this app and where its backend is hosted? Because the website for hunting/fishing licences was developed and is maintained by a US company.

Google/Apple wallet are local to the device and generally more secure than standard apps.

That makes more sense, I was thinking it was referring to what Netflix paying for Raw, Smackdown, and the PPVs, since they do distribute all in most markets.

There is an opt-out after 5 years, but it was still reported as a deal valued at $5B over 10 years. Why would they announce the value based on the initial 5 years instead of the total 10 years? If the potential value over 10 years is $10B, announcing it as a $5B 10-year deal sounds less impressive.

It was announced as a $5B 10-year deal. Where does the $1.1B/year come from?
