Wasen't one of the big reasons IE lost out to FF/Chrome because it could only update through Windows Update/walled behind new versions of Windows? I thought the point of the MS Store was to let Apps update independently from the OS so Edge wouldn't fall behind FF/Chrome.

While I like Edge and use it as a secondary browser on both my phone (even though it uses same engine as Chrome) and PC, it seems like Microsoft made a huge mistake by not making Edge updateable through the Store. That means that if I'm on 1709 for stability reasons (for now), I cannot update Edge without also updating to 1803. Why didn't Microsoft simply make Edge a Store App so it could update independently like Groove et

I messed with opsu, tried a few songs and applied a skin. It seems to work fine but I am a noob with osu in general (ATM just a guy looking for play his favorite Ouendan songs on his phone). It seems like people think evolution is better despite it coming from a sketch chinese-only site? What advantages does it have over opsu? I get the occasional stutter with opsu on my sd 615 tablet which is a bit annoying...

BC ferries outlets have a warning about potential power surges. I have plugged my phone in before to charge and had no issues but just wanted to check if people have lost their phones tompower surges before? I don't really wanna bring a surge protector over the ferry lol. And even if there was a surge, would it just fry my phone cable or my whole device?

I have to admit that I am still amazed at the technological leap between gen1-gen2. GF fixed nearly all of the problems of gen1 (special stat, limited bag slots, bad sprites from behind, stupid moves/mechanics with freeze crits wrap sleep psychic, etc, lack of move power/descriptions ingame), and yet they added SO much to gen2. A revamped Kanto, way better OST (dem trainer battle and Red battle osts), Pokemon breeding, shinies, day/night cycle, two new types, etc. Not only that, but the graphics in general were significantly better than gen1. And the cherry on the cake was that Gold/Silver still ran on the monochrome GB (not Crystal though which added the Battle Tower and animated sprites).

I am a male, and looking for a place. A female suggested that me and her friend look for a place. I have to admit...I'm a bit hesitant considering I know nothing about them, and we will likely move into a apartment/suite with only 1 shared bathroom. My hormones are telling me this is the dream (despite that people say that romancing roommates=bad), but would yall suggest I politely decline? I'm meeting them tomorrow so what questions so I have? Thanks. I'm also worried that they are friends and female, so I might be the odd-one out in every conflict.

ps: we're all students, but I am thinking of long-term accommodations, and not sure if they both might bail on the lease? Is that something I

I am looking for a furnished place right now in Vancouver (it's tough), and most include Wifi Internet (room in a home, roomates etc). Thing is, I want to see if the included Internet is actually decent for playing games and not losing packets etc (Telus routers are notoriously bad for this). What's a great Android app where I can just request their wifi password and do a ping test? Thank you. I don't want to move into a place with terrible Internet...I play games a lot.

Is it just me, or did anyone else see that EG wanted Drow in that spot, but Liquid banned it? Obviously, it would have meant Universe playing Razor (is that a thing?) but they've had Razor as their tanky front-liner before, so I was thinking that's what they were going to do, rather than a safe-lane Axe lol.

Obviously if Drow got shut down it wouldn't have worked, but it would have solved their damage problems. Io tree defensive supports for Razor Drow I guess.

So I'm getting warned that I need to be out by July, but I'm worried my landlord will change the locks and throw out all my stuff before then (or just storm my place and tell me to get out).

I share a kitchen+bathroom with landlord. That means the residential tenancy agreement doesn't apply. Here's my details: -paying $550 rent -have receipt for June rent -had 1 year written lease that is now a month-to-month lease

Basically, landlord's selling property and because I don't fall under residential tenancy agreement, they can kick me out whenever (Tenant Rights BC told me that). So really worried, as it's hard to find a decent place in the $~500 range. Don't have any friends/family to fall

ENDGAME SPOILERS INCOMING!!!!!!!!!

In my opinion, more than any other Persona game, P5's story shattered after Shido's Palace. The game shifted from a semi-realistic interpretation of Japanese society/corrupt politions/desire for nationalism (in some ways Shido was similar to Donald Trump with his "lets make Japan strong again" and people being apathetic to his criminal history). The Sun social link tied into a lot of this stuff. And then all of a sudden, a God of Control is influincing everything? I feel like it actually takes away from the story in a lot of ways and turned P5 into a typical "lets save the world" JRPG.

In Persona 3, I liked how the story's final arc developed. I won't

WoW and many other games have had the option forever to increase the size of the HUD on screen for people with vision problems. I'm running Windows 10 on a 24 inch display @ 1080 with 175% UI scale. However, DOTA 2 is bascically Windows 10 @ 100%. Can Valve please accomodate people who have high resolution displays/bad eyes and enable a UI scale option? Just like WoW's UI Scale would be perfect.

I question this decision a bit. Yeah I understand I probably am just annoyed that people can skip the grind of Shaohao now - but there's A LOT of mounts, toys, cosmetics etc that are tied behind MOP reps. Way more than any prior expansion. I find that giving away rep tokens (especially for Shaohao/Anglers) is just negating any reason for people to go check out MOP content that they may have missed.

Cataclysm/BC has a couple mounts behind reps, but nothing compared to MOP. Plus, reps like Dominance Offensive, while grindy, had a storyline and whatnot that prior expansion reps didnt.

ps: MOP rep tokens are being added with MOP TW in 7.1.5.

While at the walk-in clinic yesterday, I wasn't thinking about much else besides my skin infection on my hands and face that are raw, hurting, and constantly discharging yellow liquid (has no smell though?). On July 12th, I was prescribed 500mg Cephlexin, taken 4 times a day for 7 days. I've had breakouts like this twice before in the last 3 years (basically disgusting itchy rashes on my skin that seem systemic and discharge, making doing anything besides stay in my room be agony). So the walk-in doctor agreed to get me a referral to a Dermatologist (in Vancouver, so it will likely take a while to go through). He also prescribed 500mg Clindamyacin to be taken 3 times a day for 7 days. Alth
