This isn’t new. I remember seeing a promotion for this exact same printer many years ago already. I’d approach it with suspicion.

And yet the “I don’t care that they gather data on me, I have nothing to hide” crowd is still clueless

It is baffling that people hadn’t clued in about this sooner

IMO Supreme Commander failed to capture the original game’s soul. You had a sense of an epic battle going on when playing. I think it was because it always devolved into playing all zoomed out, watching tiny strategic icons moving across the map, blinking and disappearing. I can’t even tell you what any of the units looked like because we almost never see them. The fact that they gave generic names to units and structures such as “level one point defence turret” didn’t help either.

BAR does a much better job of keeping the player zoomed in and into the action, seeing and feeling so the cool details of the battle going on. Heavy plasma batteries blowing up chunks of advancing armies and terrain, lasers blowing up individual targets in rapid succession, sending debris flying everywhere, this was all what TA was about.

I understand that, but if a third-party was to make a mod that restores the old names, I don’t see how they could possibly be held legally liable for it.

I wish someone made a mod for this game that restored the names of the units and buildings to all their Total Annihilation equivalents.

It’s like a joke from The Simpsons for crying out loud

The Specialists was amazing. Expect for the players who were min-maxing it, but they were rare. Most people were playing it for the fun of it.

That’s performative. Sucks to be the student who will have his life ruined to be made “an example” out of.

If you really were still naive enough to think that a public tech company cares about your right to privacy at that point, it’s pretty much on you.

Step 1: Use an open source mail client that doesn’t contain trackers like FairEmail instead of Google’s app.

Step 2 (optional but recommended): Get another email service that respects privacy.

Translation: Microslop’s executives are finally starting to realize that they fucked up.

That’s some Tarantino villain level bullshit.

Of course they want that. So they can control and see everything that people can do on their devices. With Moore’s law there is absolutely no reason why centralizing computers should make sense. This is pure corporate greed and nothing else.

You will own nothing and be happy.

I work for a huge organization and my local IT guys have their hands bound. I couldn’t even make a ripple in that ocean even if I tried.

Happened to me at work where they force us to use Windows 11. I had turned on the autosave feature on a Word document I was working on. Little did I know this meant it stopped saving the changes locally and started saving them on a OneDrive copy. I then worked all day on that file.

The next day I notice the file on OD, find it odd that it is there so I delete it because I want nothing to do with OD. I then open the local word file and realize that none of the work I did the day prior was saved.

I figured out what happened and fortunately the file was still in the recycle bin. But fuck that whole system to begin with. It won’t even let me use the autosave feature locally.

If only it was a Dodge Ram instead, it would have been perfect

(Dodge Rams are conspicuously over represented in DUI statistics)

The HDMI forum sure is making a great job of making DP the new standard.

The HDMI connectors were fragile and getting loose from repeated use anyway. They suck.
