Even Nintendo has gyros in their controllers

Nintendo have had gyros in their controllers since 2006 with the release of the Wii. Basically right there with Sony (Nov 11th vs Nov 19th 2006)

I’m an atools kinda person

If the cause of this is because of Cyberpunk then that’s ridiculous. It’d be like Steam deleting cloud saves because someone’s Half Life save file got too big… It’s their own game, marketplace and ecosystem.

That’s super interesting. Do you have a source you could link for this data?

You can also use systemctl status $pid to find out what service a process is from.

Yeah for my case it was easier in the initrd otherwise I’d be trying to roll back the active / partition.

Re run levels, they were a sysvinit thing so I wasn’t sure sure about systemd, this suggests that would work though https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SysVinit_to_Systemd_Cheatsheet

And if you have to bail out even earlier, run level 1 will give you the rescue.target

Pass something stupid via your bootloader so it aborts boot and dumps you in an initrd busybox shell. No usb required.

This was my poor man’s boot environments when I was using zfs on root. I had a pacman hook to snapshot before package transactions, then if it became unbootable I’d interrupt the following boot attempt, edit my grub command line with something wrong so I’d get dumped in the busybox shell, import my zfs pool and roll back before finally rebooting again.

I think if anything I’d view it from the other direction. We had machines with hardware support for memory protection and multitasking and we got DOS. DOS was the abberation.

Microsoft was a Xenix vendor before it sold DOS.

I used to turn to custom roms to extend the life of my phone. My first smartphone didn’t get an official update after I purchased it for example. The custom roms often made the phone snappier too.

These days I’m on a mid range Samsung phone released almost 4 years ago and it’s still getting updates.

The Android app has done this for years too.

After connecting my (non Microsoft) email account to the Outlook Android app I noticed the login location was geolocated in the USA… I live in Australia.

Unfortunately there’s no way to turn it off.

Not the previous poster. I taught an introduction to programming unit for a few semesters. The unit was almost entirely portfolio based ie all done in class or at home.

The unit had two litmus tests under exam like conditions, on paper in class. We’re talking the week 10 test had complexity equal to week 5 or 6. Approximately 15-20% of the cohort failed this test, which if they were up to date with class work effectively proved they cheated. They’d be submitting course work of little 2d games then on paper be unable to “with a loop, print all the odd numbers from 1 to 20”
