I’m guessing the wrote the first sentence and the rest is what Gemini or whatever told him about the picture copied and pasted.

Here is the link.

I still haven’t forgiven him for The Learning Company and Brøderbund.

Be careful though, suggesting that Starship might never fly, or Full Self Driving might never drive, or that data centers in orbit are unlikely to scale is dangerous on the Internet.

Haha okay, I’ll forewarn you that season 1 isn’t the best, especially the first few episodes which are mostly left over unused scripts from The Original Series and the canceled Phase II. It gets way better, though in my opinion DS9 is the high watermark of Trek. It might be fun for you to watch them in air date order, the first season of DS9 started during season 6 of TNG (in fact the episode we are talking about was part of the story genesis for DS9) and Voyager started during season 3 of DS9. It isn’t totally required but there are some overlapping plot elements in the background and some occasional crossover.

If I recall correctly, they specifically said that FSR 4 would be coming to RDNA 2 systems early next year.

TNG S6 E10-11, just so you can gauge your distance.

In my experience most people have forgotten about hot cereals. My mom used to make Cream of Wheat all the time when I was growing up.

Eehhh… this person is wrong about programmers and business models but DOS machines did boot really fast (my 486 boots to DOS in about 20 seconds) and C64s and Apple IIs and such were all ROM based and so booted instantly like a Super Nintendo.

Small correction, $2.75 an hour against tips. In a lot of states it’s legal to withhold that $2.75 once they’ve made more than that in tips per hour. They only have to guarantee that you make minimum wage they don’t have to actually pay you it If you’re getting it paid by somebody else.

Teams, like a lot of MS products, uses Edge Webview 2 (an Electron clone). So if you have Teams, and VS Code, and Chrome or Edge running you are running 3 Chromium instances.

Hmmm… it’s really hard to tell but it does look a little bigger than a standard Maverick. If it’s a Ranger platform then I doubt they can hit the 30k mark.

I’m confused by what you’re trying to say, the mirror universe first debuted in the original series, and this wasn’t an alternate universe episode it was an alternate timeline episode. So yeah it’s like the Doc and Marty who are definitely the same people despite the timeline changes in the second movie.

I used to think there was less spread on the right too, that there was no way that they could push further right… then I learned about my people’s history as just one for instance. Please trust me on this, there is just as much room to the right of center as there is to the left and they always seem to be able to overcome their fights, hence how the Overton window got there in the first place.

It’s more than that even, MS and Sony switched to an x86 platform for the consoles specifically to make it easier to develop cross-platform. Valve was very vocal about how hard The Orange Box was to port to the PS3 and that they wouldn’t develop for that platform again. This wasn’t a trend, it was a conscious choice and I genuinely don’t know what the goal was if not this. I was convinced that Xbox was going to become a Steam clone until recently anyway and I think the jury is still out on if MS will ever make another console themselves.

If the goal is to make it more exclusive then they should switch back to Power PC processors at least and offer other reasons to use a console over a PC.

I hate constantly having to remind people who give him credit for ‘warp speed’ that we only needed that because he fired the pandemic response team and threw away the pandemic handbook written by the Bush administration and updated by the Obama administration along with a bunch of other shit with Obama’s name attached to it.

Or they work in a lab or industrial setting. Lots of computers running machines that nobody will touch because the machine is worth more than their salary. Not just XP, even at my most recent university job I was still seeing 2000, 98SE, and in one case MacOS 9. All of these I have seen are air-gapped though… for the most part.

I don’t think you’re totally wrong, but I think it’s a piss poor excuse to force in-fighting on the left. Those on the right have the same Overton window spread but they don’t seem to have any issue uniting to make everybody else miserable.

I will never understand Lemmy’s obsession with trying to make the left fight itself.

Haha, by other applications I meant I remember there being some background music systems for elevators and retail stores and some early dictation systems and such that were slower, like in the 10 rpm range.

However… Software used to come on cassette tapes in the days of the C64 and the ZX Spectrum etc. I don’t see why you couldn’t record the same ‘sound’ onto an LP but I imagine the error rate might be far higher. In fact, I would be shocked if it’s never been tried.
