Dammit, I was looking forward to SoT seeing as it plays pretty janky now compared to modern standards and I was hoping they’d fix up the combat a bit. That said, I only have the Xbox version to go off of. Is the PC version any good? Maybe someone will do a Black Mesa on it.
Especially if it has mint frosting.
Tell that to Michel Lotito who, allegedly, ate an entire Cessna 150.
Yeah I was wondering the same thing. Didn’t Abort just cancel trying to read that sector, while Fail would cancel the entire operation?
Nope, I looked it up. Abort would completely abort the whole thing, while Fail was supposed to return an error code to the program so that it could decide what to do next. Like Ignore but less crashy.
They taste that way on purpose to stop little kids from putting them in their mouths and potentially choking.
Remember how sometimes you’d put the disk in and you could hear the floppy part spinning for a fraction of a second to line up with, I guess the motor head, before it fully clunked in? That shit was peak.
Replying to a year old post? That’s commitment! You’re welcome, glad you’re enjoying it.
Meanwhile, things have changed somewhat since my post and there are more “small” options available now. The Abarth 500e looks wicked fun and the incoming VW Polo is previewing well.
That said, my buddy swears by his Civic, you’ve made a good choice.
Synology walked back their requirement of using their own branded drives.
First I’ve heard of this but you’re right.
It’s really interesting how far I had to scroll down the search results to find it, as the top page or so of hits are from April when they added the restriction in the first place.
Vivaldi is Chromium based, that’s like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
There are plenty of Firefox forks that will be actively removing the AI crap. Waterfox, Pale Moon, Librewolf, Zen, Floorp to name a few. And these will all continue to support Manifest v2 and therefore adblockers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Web_browsers_based_on_Firefox
I’m kinda sad that I probably* won’t get to see how this story ends. Do we make it as a species? Do we end up in the Star Trek utopia, or do we wipe ourselves out with our own hubris? But I’m not sad of afraid of dying itself. My legacy will be doing right by my kids and hopefully setting them up to live better lives than I did, and I’m OK with that.
*If I do live long enough to see us wipe ourselves out that will be pretty shit, ngl.
You might be a king or a little street sweeper but sooner or later you dance with the reaper.
Yes this! It was so obvious what was going on behind the scenes yet the contestants would merrily show their hand every time.
Does this mean that people will finally stop posting that stupid “sir, this is a Wendy’s” line?
OMG the tower even has a lock and a turbo button! My first (self-built) media PC was in a Silverstone case with a VFD display. They make some good stuff.
Bit of a catch-22 for me there. I want to run a local LLM for Home Assistant voice stuff and most of them are heavily optimised for Nvidia. At least the ones that don’t take a ton of effort to setup.
Yeah I’ve recently got back into buying and ripping physical CDs so an internal optical drive would’ve been great, but it seems the fronts of modern PCs are dedicated to massive RGB fans. Gonna have to make do with something external.
Good to know. Last time I tried to share a partition between Windows and Linux it wasn’t exactly smooth sailing but that was a number of years ago now.
Yeah agreed, and that’s what I always used to do when it was just for myself. I did actually have a grand plan of buying parts and trying to get the kids involved in building it, but I’m in my 40s and out of the loop, and really I need something that kinda “just works” and that the rest of the family can use without me incessantly tinkering with it.
That’s why I talked myself into a pre-built, with the mindset that a project PC that takes time and effort to spec out and build just right can come later. But the fact that that pre-built isn’t exactly how I would spec it is likely causing some of this angst!
Exactly this. We used to run Mattermost (essentially Slack but hosted on-prem) and Zoom, and everybody loved the combination. Then the bean counters got involved, saw that we were paying extra for something that was already included with our 365 subscription, and that was that.
Now we’re stuck with shitty Teams and its shitty Electron app that seems to come up with new ways to not work on a near daily basis. So much so that “Teams be Teamsing” has become a defacto phrase for when something janky happens.
