Cross-instance linking is a mess. You linked to an ad for your mobile app, which links to a kbin instance, which links back to lemmy.world… The app page devotes most of its space to download links while kbin demands the viewer log in before it will show them anything.
Technology Connections are great, but this doesn’t feel very connected.
It bothers me. There are too many things that are either not standards-complient or support different parts of the USB feature set that compatibility is a wildcard.
I carry a large backup battery when I travel for work. It can keep my laptop going under load all day, allowing me to not care at all about proximity to outlets when working. It also allows me to painlessly recharge phones by just handing it to someone.
Last week, I was running something from someone else’s laptop (enterprise HP, like mine, but different model). It got low, so I pulled out my battery. Plug it in… No power. I could see the voltage fluctuations of it negotiating, but nothing after that.
The only real impacts it has had are making me pay more attention to how I feel and more intentional about how I eat. I’m not going back for seconds just because they are there since I consciously decided that my initial portion was a good amount. I’m also not going a day without eating since it didn’t cross my mind because I can see that little line slowly go down and it reminds me that food is good.
Modern tech is amazing. The management of T1D has been reduced to a glance at my phone every once in a while and a couple keystrokes when I eat something.
I was talking to someone recently who was diagnosed as a little kid and the stuff that they went through sounded awful. Their adult management of it is no better than mine is for having gone through that.
Sounds similar to the months before my T1 diagnosis at 27. More and more thirsty, less and less hungry. Water would fly through me too, making me suddenly have to pee not long after drinking.
It was actually the system Cloudflare uses to catch and block bots that went haywire.
They had a fake database you could query that would pull content from a bunch of different shard databases. They updated the config so that systems querying it could see the shards in addition to the main dummy DB. The tool that pulled data out of it assumed that it could only see the dummy, however, so it just asked for everything when it pulled a report to pass to the filtering system.
The filtering system assumed the report it received would be properly formed and crashed if it got one that was malformed.
IIRC, the Steam releases of those are already using Scumm.
Amazon is doing some markup, but there’s also been a bunch of price increases. 5gal BIBs are over $100 now.
It’s still pretty cheap when you consider that that BIB produces 35 gallons of soda.
Being released at the same time as the significantly more modern (and unpopular) Unity didn’t do Rogue any favors.
No, Rockstar outsourced a ‘remaster’ of the early 3D games that was poorly handled.
That series has a good progression too. It starts limited by light speed, then gets FTL communication, and finally FTL travel.
Ratchet & Clank and Going Commando are great.
Accountants tally the numbers and hand you the totals. Twisting them is unethical and can lead to them losing their licenses.
Analysts manipulate the numbers to push a message. No ethics allowed.
Signed, an analyst raised by an accountant. Interacting with other analysts is infuriating.
There is a lovely Skyrim Tarot deck. A bit outside your range there, but I saw it lower elsewhere.
My earliest remembered favorite is The Little Red Car by Bernice Orawski. Cute little kids book with lovely illustrations about a car having the worst day of its life.
I’m a bit over halfway through the series right now, burning through them at a book every week or two.
The series suffers from sprawl. There are 3-4 ‘a-plots’ at any one time, which can be a bit frustrating. I’m loving them though.
One of my earliest favorites too.
My understanding is that rightsholders didn’t take it seriously, so content was cheap to license in the early days of Netflix streaming. That’s no longer the case.
I’ve done it before on something else. It does need to be bit-perfect, but ROM’s are one of the easier things to find bit-perfect matches for.
I’ve got a weird one. Saints Row 4, near the end. Such a strange, unexpectedly emotional experience.
My favorite version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is the version by The Quiggles which appears on the Nitronic Rush soundtrack.
