If a company is going bankrupt as a result of hosting a video service, they’re not going to be able to afford to archive and make it available for download either.

There’s a nice whiskey in my cabinet I haven’t had occasion to pop open for a while…

Every enterprise laptop I’ve seen in the last 5 years?

The entire market is all in on this trend. It’s hard to get a laptop with more than a couple usb ports anymore.

Dual trackpads but still dual joystick and a real D-pad.

I really tried to like my steam controller but the trackpads as the main control surface didn’t work that well.

Best news I’ve seen in weeks

Even a non-IoT electronic device still runs on many different chips.

Tech companies are terrified of becoming commodities, even though a good chunk of them basically are at this point.

Intel would probably be in a better spot if they’d just leaned into that rather than try to regain the market dominance they once had.

The vast, vast majority of chips produced are “old generation” chips used for relatively mundane purposes. The high-tech stuff you see in the news is a minority (though it’s pricey enough that it doesn’t look that way in company earnings reports).

Think power supplies, middle-of-the-road CPUs, ASICs for common I/O like USB and ethernet, timing devices, and wireless communication modules.

He’s 54, I think he looks pretty average for that age. He looks like an old dad, because he is.

He got old.

Don’t underestimate Colorado. Though it’s largely the recent Denver transplants keeping up that stereotype, whereas it’s the long-term Texans.

Scottish talk radio sounds like a trip.

Nope, the geometry actually works out such that it doesn’t matter your distance from the mirror, only how tall the mirror is and how high it’s mounted.

A mirror that is as half as tall as your, mounted at head height, will show your white whole body regardless of how far away you are from it. TECHNICALLY, the bottom edge must be halfway between your eyes and feet, and the top edge must be halfway between your eyes and top of head.

Most of those are just based on the same real-world animal.

How DARE you also put a wolf in your game!

:q!

The first vim command anybody should memorize. Quit without saving.

I want something that’s basically like Windows 98.

Linux Mint (Cinnamon edition) and Kubuntu are, in my opinion, the two most windows-looking distros out of the box. They use the Cinnamon and KDE desktop environment respectively, you can do a little googling to see if those look like you expect your desktop to work.

Does everyone just always know what they’re doing at all times?

Fuck no, lol. I’ve done more stupid shit on Linux than windows would ever let me get away with. But Linux people tend to be a little more “tinkerers” than other computer users. Not everyone by any means, it’s really more of the other way around: if you want to tinker with your computer, Linux gives the most freedom to do so. And when you tinker enough and make enough mistakes learning experiences, you tend to pick up some knowledge along the journey.

But a lot of the modern distros are very plug-and-play, to where it’s not necessary to be a tinkerer to get going on Linux anymore.

“Pele who can’t defend themselves physically”

Like Elon, who pulled out of a fight he tried to start with Zuck because he’d get his ass kicked?

“You guys are freaked out because I’m moving quickly and you don’t have visibility into my own internal process, that’s all.”

Uh, yeah?! Maybe add on “and you refuse to see why that’s a problem”

I mean yeah, that’s funny, but I just like high quality pixel art and 2000 was the last generation before they ditched that (or I guess, the pixels got too small to see)
