Get ready. This is how all school textbooks are going to be from here on out—if they aren’t already. Probably worse.

Oh god that sucks lmao. Cleaning up hot, wet coffee grounds is not a fun chore at all.

Don’t feel bad. I did this once with a half carafe of coffee. Forgot to put the stupid carafe underneath before hitting the button and walking away. Suddenly my wife goes “wow, it really smells like coffee in here,” as I walk out to find it all over the counter and floor.

Yeah, that makes more sense. More users automatically means there will statistically be more complaints due to sheer numbers.

I have one too and love that thing! Even as a programmer, I find the only time I use a computer is during work time. Otherwise I’m mostly on my Steam Deck.

Being the single OS that has had a chokehold on the prebuilt computer industry for ages doesn’t mean it’s popular. It’s also used in tons of workplaces where people don’t have a choice. High number doesn’t automatically correlate to “popular.”

Windows is basically malware now. My wife is forced to use W11 for work and she fucking hates it with a passion (and that’s the pared down IT version).

I pulled out my old gaming laptop that had been unplugged for quite a while and found it somehow updated itself to W11. I immediately wiped the computer and installed Nobara as the main OS. No regrets, no issues, and no half-assed bullshit.

Windows on the ASUS ROG Ally is absolute dog shit. It would constantly reboot to install unwanted updates that offered zero value on a handheld (let alone anything).

Nothing I own will ever run Windows.

Windows isn’t popular. It’s forced onto tons of prebuilt computers and most people wouldn’t know what to use instead. Fuck Windows. Rant over.

Tons of corporate software out there will record user sessions in order to debug issues and replay a user’s interactions so an engineer can review it. Take a look at tools like Hotjar, Logrocket, and Fullstory.

Not making excuses for them and it’s probably less insidious than this makes it out to be, but people should be aware that this is not uncommon at all.

Can’t eventually have senior engineers without giving junior engineers a chance, so good luck with that. I’ve got nearly 2 decades under my belt and I’m ready to leave.

I refreshed and hacked my N3ds XL recently and have been playing a ton of classics. A few:

• Pokémon HeartGold
• Mario Kart 7
• Shinobi
• Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX
• New Super Mario Bros 2

Getting Pretendo setup has been fun. I can play MK7 online again and there’s always people playing!

I loved these things. Never understood how they worked (still don’t) but I didn’t care!

The potential customers here are whatever companies they inevitably sell the data and product to down the road.

Tons of disarming techniques have been available in martial arts to the world for centuries.

This is a wild story about

• how running with scissors is a bad idea
• alligator bites can’t even stop a dude on meth
• cops continue to have no clue what de-escalation tactics are

Once you finally realize that America is one big collective scam and we’re simply seeing the paint scratch off and the old advertising fail on the new generations, it all makes sense. The working class exists here as a constant resource for the wealthy. We’re slaves that are finally discovering the end of the leash. They know the jig is up so now they’re fast-tracking all of the upward wealth shifts, while essentially trying to kill off or shut out our most vulnerable communities. They want the Israel model but without the universal healthcare (which we all pay for but can’t even get ourselves).

The US is the pot the ruling class reaches its grubby hands into whenever it needs money for wars and conquering other countries.

Yep, this is my setup. I did the whole *arr apps, Plex and Usenet setup for years, but hated dealing with storing the files. It also didn’t help when my 8TB drive decided to act up and make files inaccessible.

Now I stream everything through Stremio with RD+. Works on every device flawlessly.

I bought it for the Xbox X. Runs amazing but I get why people would skip. DRM and forced raytracing is pretty sucky. I’ve already beaten it and am on my second play through. I’ve been a Doom addict since childhood when I played Knee-deep in the Dead.

I’ve watched a few random ones over the years. No idea who he is.

I oversold it in my original comment, but it still performs better than using regular cameras like Tesla did. It performs better in weather and other scenarios than standard cameras. Elon is dumb though and doesn’t think LiDAR is needed for self-driving.

What’s Minnesota like? I grew up in snow but now reside in the southern heat and I don’t like it.
