Unfortunate choice of initialisation there.

The older editions are lot more encyclopaedia like too, some super detailed descriptions of things like cars - right down to the gear ratios.

No, half left

Could do with a bit more explanation on this one.

Yeah, like I can’t disagree, I’ve spent hours at work producing decidedly shit documentation (that it’s just occurred to me I should probably have done in PowerPoint) but equally I don’t think I’ve ever used a WYSIWYG word processor I’d consider good either (or web design program for that matter).

They rock at being the default. As much as I love LibreOffice MS office is probably the best office suite I’ve used too.

I’m not pro Nintendo by any stretch, however in this particular case the guy seems to have been intent on speedrunning stupid any %. Ignored a cease and desist and then decided he’d defend himself in court. I sympathise to a point, but if a notoriously litigious games company asks you to stop, probably stop.

To a degree, people will cut out chunks of wall to sell a banksy.

Which is fine. Potentially part of the huge known issue with the last couple of generations of Intel chips which affected a huge swath of CPUs, fixes have been released, but damage has been done - that alone would make me dubious about them going forward.

The more immediate issue though is, my CPU failed, I need to find some time to take the PC apart, safely box up the the CPU, figure out the intel rma procedure, ship it off, wait for intel to assess the cpu, hope they accept responsibility, ship me a new CPU and then find the time, once again, to take the PC apart to put the CPU back in. Twice. And I’ve been without PC for the entire time. And they most likely knew about the issues before the second gen of defective chips they launched. And it’s not even the better chip as you mention. I’d be sufficiently pissed off to stay away.

It gets used a lot in a business setting, we’ve multiple rooms at work set up for this.

OMG thank you for that knowledge! I’ve been putting off building a podcast server for years because I couldn’t be arsed learning some front end framework.

My first thought on hearing frame is server. I’m likely way off the mark (to the point I don’t actually think it’s what they’re doing) but it could be the basis for a cloud gaming setup for steam. Would extend the deck life and allow them to optimise settings for proton locally.

Most of this was happening or initially attempted long before the current Gaza situation, so it’s not that.

For now…

MXM has been around for 20+ years as far as I know.

I feel the same horror reading this. You animal.

If you’ve driven fords for a while it’s second nature, second click deadlocks the car or something.

What is RISC-V going to do?

If we remove all context from the sentence, sure it could read that way. Do you regularly remove all context before reading? It’s certainly a strange way to word that question if that’s the intent.

And it’s perfectly possible to ask that question without coming across like an ass.
