In what way am I giving anyone an out? Are we both talking about the Indian Creek/Surfside thing? If we are the whole shit storm is over the fact the billionaires don’t want to pay have a link..

I like shitting on billionaires as much as the next person, but presumably they didn’t design any of this themselves. Most likely story is they just don’t want to pay their fair share as usual.

The vroom vroom noises are good too.

Interestingly I’ve a relative who used to be a car salesman and still gets invited to dealer events occasionally - he was telling me about an electric he got to test a year or so back, it had a simulated gear shift/gear knob setup. He said people were loving it.

Centuries?

It’s kinda like my google ethos, Google are already spying on me, I might as well use their phone and then Samsung aren’t spying on me as well.

I’m not trying to belittle the contribution of Valve or Proton or anything, completely agree it’s a massive contributor. There’s also a lot of work done by a lot of people to get us to that point (and tbh I flipped a long time ago and did more console gaming, so I kinda see it from the opposite perspective - proton has brought back PC gaming for me rather than allowing me to break free of windows.)

Not everything is vidjagames

I like you

Amazing how many names here I recognise! I doubt I’ve personally made a super significant impression outside a few arguments 😂

Logitech used actually be good at this. Look at their squeezebox software and Logitech media server, they were open sourced, released to the public and are still under active development and in widespread use.

Gotcha, vlan setup sounds like the best possible way to do it, I don’t trust my security skills at all, 22 with fail2ban is about as far as I trust myself!

The hammering 22 gets is astonishing though.

You’re comfortable port forwarding onto your own network?

Surprisingly, they found that the rate of change in the labor market’s makeup in the wake of AI closely matches the pace when computers and the internet were first taking off. In other words, AI doesn’t appear to be more disruptive than those two technologies

Possibly two of the most disruptive technologies in the last 100 years. Who writes this shit?

We don’t

Ah, overspill, it’s just perfect then.

Good attempt, though the hand blender needs to go at the back of the corner cupboard, just near enough that you can still see it, but far enough back that it’s a pain to get out without removing several other items. Pills go in the medicine cupboard.

Sorry, I meant any more details about sending books to kindle via USB - I’ve never had any issue doing this.

Yeah, it’s too expensive.

What are we seeing as the positive?

Yeah, £15 was pushing it, I don’t play as much as I’d like, big benefit was cloud gaming facilitating couch co-op, but at the minute it’s mostly my kids playing Minecraft, cheaper just to buy that.
