and now look. They've got unrelated people online recommending a person doesn't buy from them because it'll be a poor experience. Is being detached from reality a requirement for upper management?

I hate the fact that if you want to change the case on a file in windows, you can't just replace the offending letter. You have to change the name completely, then change it back with the correct casing. Then Windows will finally keep it.
Milk-V just keep churning these things out. I wonder what the RISC-V market looks like? I assume they're targeting business application and not hobbyists? I'm very much ignorant, and have never seen an implementation using RISC-V anywhere.
I actually ordered a Mars just yesterday but I get the feeling, after initial intrigue, that it'll be a curiosity that sits in the drawer until it eventually gets thrown away. Maybe it was a good thing Meles was sold out at the time of my order. haha
Forgive my ignorance, but an apartment where the landlord is removed and people just pay building maintenance is... a condominium, no?
Last time I tried it let me create a local account, then about a week later I got called because Windows threw a full-screen blocker on boot saying a Microsoft account was required to continue with "I'll do it later" being greyed out. Oddly enough, ALT+F4 worked to close it and continue.
I've seen it. It's almost like a form of ADHD training. Make sure the person's attention is never on something for too long, and make sure the attention snaps to whatever ad pops up.
If I'm given a choice between some fixes and no fixes, I'll take some. You know they'll dump the code like a hot potato once Sims 5 starts rolling out micro expansions.
You forgot the VPN service they install without consent.

Yup, I hate that Microsoft chat programs no longer give you the option of showing available whenever signed in. Has to force it's own system of timeouts and away. So people will start emailing me thinking I'm away when I'm just waiting for a ping. Ended up installing Caffeine and having it press Shift so that the system will recognize that I'm actually alive and available.
throw in a microSD card slot and I'm sold
last time I tuned into AM radio, I got shivers with the amount of hate consistently being spouted on each station I tuned to.
I wouldn't shed a tear if all that hate suddenly vanished, but I'd rather it not be because automakers wanted to save $0.05 per vehicle.
I feel like there is a scary amount of copyright infringement going on to make it look THAT much like Windows 11.
It's funny how much survivorship bias we have. Movies, Music, Games. It's so easy to forget how bad some previous stuff was.
I guess I'll keep this in the back of my mind, but I already migrated over to QuickWeather when Geometric Weather went unsupported. It stinks that I can't swipe between locations anymore, but the built-in radar and higher information density outweigh switching back for me.
I'm really curious when Microsoft will start seeing the fruits of all their purchases. They've bought up a lot of game devs. Seems modern games cook for 3-4 years before publishing, so some might be turning up soon.
I wish we had more small publishers. It's so rare to go into a store now and see a $20-$40 title from some rando. Cheap enough that I can go "Oh, that's interesting looking I'll grab it". Limited Run is great and all, but there's no magic when you pre-order something 8 months out.
I just wish it had a better name. Anything You just makes my brain feel like it hiccup'd trying to reread the sentence parsing it a second time as a name.
I always saw the higher $60 games were cartridge-based games, while the CD-ROM equivalent was cheaper. When everybody switched away from cartridges it dropped back down to $50 being the norm until around 2005-2006.
I was going to upgrade to a 6500XT to do some 1080 gaming but found out that I was on Gen3. AMD cheaped out and only put 4 lanes on the 6500XT, which meant not enough bandwidth. I don't know how much of an outlier I am, as comparing which board has what generation is not easy.
I still remember the outrage when they announced 2004 wasn't a free upgrade for 2003 purchasers. Stores did their best to mitigate that, but all my friends were peeved and kept to UT99 because of it.
I hope Fallout London won't have to push their release date back to cope with this change. If Skyrim updates are any indication, this might not bode well.
I would be so confused and so very angry at the end. I had a hard enough time working inside vim-tiny.
I'd love to see the process they used when they decided to throw away backward compatibility with PSVR1 software. Surely at least one person on the team said it was a bad idea.
I thought out of all the VR hardware manufactures out there... Sony would be the one who had the best chance to get it right. They've got a static SKU of hardware for all software devs to target. They've got multiple organizations in every known type of electronic device. Yet here we are on round two of them flubbing the potential.
Would you recommend it?
Just in case you missed it: The joke is a reference to Freeman's Mind (another Ross creation) where Freeman lists things he was right about but called wrong.
So, is this game DOA?
I'm just curious why Valve looked at the oversaturated hero shooter market (seriously, we've had failures 8 years ago now) and said "Oh yeah, let's devote our resources there"
edit: Like, I seriously can't understand it. Not even Blizzard is coming out unscathed from Overwatch 2.
As somebody who has had to set up smartcards, yes. It's a linux system managing that. The end-user GUI stuff is all Windows though.
There's a surprising amount of Linux in some hospitals... but people just don't see it. Fetal Monitors? Probably Linux. User tracking and auditing software? Also Linux. Network downtime document viewer? Linux. Heck, the software that carts use to print sheets to the network printers is CUPS.
How would they even know you are the driver and not a passenger?
This might be a controversial take, but this was one of my favorite controllers:
It had the size of a Duke, so comfortable to hold with my large hands, and also felt really nice when the airflow feature was turned on. It had the really bad D-Pads though.
Does discovery mode not have a timer? Feels like that should be the default mode... turn it on, you have x amount of time to find and pair before it turns back off.
Can't say I have any interesting stories. Most of mine are just the head-scratching "I don't know why that didn't work; guess I need to reinstall" kind of story. Like enabling encrypted LVM on install and suddenly nothing is visible to UEFI. Or trying to switch desktop environments using tasksel and now I have a blank screen on next reboot. That lame kind of stuff.
My coworker though... he was mindlessly copy/pasting commands and did the classic rm -rf $UNSETVARIABLE while in / and nuked months of migrated data on his newly built system. He hadn't even set up backups yet. Management was upset but lenient.
-but more seriously, the plushy idea seems the least complicated. If you're worried about tripping, put a yarn lasso around so it can be pulled away.
Your doorbell buzzer sounds a lot like what is used for deaf dogs. Tap the button on the radio transmitter and the collar vibrates to get attention. I imagine a small dog collar could be worn around the wrist or ankle. Just make sure it's vibration only :P
Microsoft has pushed and pushed and pushed and finally achieved their goal of going digital-only with Game Pass. I'm 100% confident that the next console won't have physical media options, so I probably won't be getting it as I don't want Microsoft dictating whether I own something or not.
Oh no doubt. It's a shame too. We saw the death of the mid-level developer long ago.
When I go to cons I try to buy any smaller self-published titles I see, but wish the market could support smaller devs while remaining consumer-friendly with a "coop" publisher. An entity that can eat a loss while still finding gems that would be lost to time if stuck on a digital store.
That isn't to say that smaller titles are dead. Currently I look out for stuff published by Soedesco, GS2 Games, Team17, Microids, EastAsiaSoft, etc etc.
It's been too many years since I've dabbled in code licensing so I'm a bit in the dark as to what this implies, but if this results in a Linux fork that's capable of running Winamp plugins...
This is actually a question I'd like some opinions on!
I have a ton of headless servers running Debian that I just replace the sources.list for an upgrade. I imagine things are much more complicated when switches like X11 to Wayland happen, so all desktop environments get a wipe/install instead... But maybe I'm just making a lot of work for myself doing that!
Last I heard, Capcom was retroactively adding DRM to their games which could severely impact compatibility. I don't get why Mega Man 2 would need to be protected with spyware, but that's a big corp for you. So yeah, I'd say Capcom games might qualify.
