    The inferior one was the winner after all.
    …That’s right. Until the very end, Liquid thought he was the inferior one.
    Yes, sir. I agree completely. It takes a well-balanced individual, such as yourself, to rule the world.
    No, sir. No one knows that you were the third one… Solidus.

    Thank you. Good-bye…

  • As someone who runs a popular blocklist collection, I’ve come to find that most of the MASSIVE lists are people who collate a whole bunch of lists together and then promote their “one size fits all” solution alongside their donation link. There are very few original high quality ad-blocking lists maintained (where originality is defined as a sizeable amount of unique entries not shared by other lists) and almost all don’t appear to openly discuss the magic sauce behind their lists, outside of the obvious case of user submissions.




  • To be fair, accidental damage is never covered under “warranty” (or any other extended service guarantee “warranty equivalents”) from any manufacturer. Given these black rectangles go everywhere with us, it’s still very good to have a device that won’t absolutely crap itself as soon as it gets dropped in water.

    I say this as someone who often sees customers bring in water damaged devices, wanting their data off of it.

    Frankly though, I wish the term used was “water resistance” and not “waterproof”. That semantic annoys me.
