People have reported those not working very well with STAR / DAS I believe. You can usually buy the kit with a laptop included, I just figured I’d wanna try if it runs on something made less than 23 years ago.

There was a point where I really wanted a decent laptop with one to run STAR C3. Never bought the laptop nor the kit but never knew if I’ll need it again. I don’t own a Benz anymore but it could literally change on a whim because I do still love them lol

You get better reliability from Apple than ThinkPads now. At way more money and with restrictions on what operating systems you can use.

It’s not. Russia will continue to sell oil through India and China.

Though if prices go too low, Russia’s oil goes unprofitable before e.g Saudi oil. Trump could accidentally put the squeeze on Putin by drilling more oil lol

It happened less than 5 years ago even. It was funny.

bumble-bee thingy

I was going to say wrong transformer because the technology was called nVidia Optimus

But apparently there’s an utility named Bumblebee to deal with it.

It’s for local service discovery. Those services may be printers on your network, or another computer sharing music on iTunes (which is why as a Windows user you’d usually get Bonjour when installing iTunes). Or maybe it’s your Raspberry Pi.

It feels iffy because it comes bundled with other software without you being asked (IIRC) and it autoruns on startup. And I mean 20 years ago when iPods were a thing and people had to use iTunes on Windows, a couple dozen megabytes of RAM really mattered too. Hell I had 512 MB back when I had an iPod (and therefore iTunes)

It’s not, but I still prefer not pushing my config on others, or others pushing theirs on me.

Just gitignore that. Same for dot idea and whatever vscode adds, if anything

Maybe they don’t own any firearms? Not sure what they’re supposed to do otherwise.

I’m willing to bet you haven’t shot up a single nazi gathering either.

Oh, duh. It’s why all my timestamps have Z’s in the database lmao

Thing is, you’re right that the separation would help, but this is still way less ambiguous that MM/DD vs DD/MM if you ask me.

The good news is that the live service bubble burst so hard and spectacularly that we may see a return to actual good games getting funding after investors are done licking their wounds.

Did it?

I honestly have no idea what’s going on in that space anymore. I’m still playing Baldur’s Gate 3 because I’ve been extremely busy since about August 2023. Got into Act 2 yesterday! When I’m finished with that, I can get back to the game I was playing before BG3, which I STILL haven’t finished, which is Elden Ring. I got stuck there and bought BG3 lol

The only good thing about not having time to play video games is that you can fill the entirety of your video game time with awesome single player games.

It’s unfortunate, but if you’re developing a game and are in dire need of cash, Epic is your best bet.

Way before the whole store debacle, Epic also had a lot of grants and stuff, but those didn’t require you to give up publishing rights IIRC. Honestly, the EGS greed aside, they’ve been excellent for the gaming industry.

You already got an answer more or less, but to specify, Fitgirl is one specific repacker of games that a lot of people trust. She (or he, or they or it, nobody really knows) specializes in compression to make the releases quick to download on slow Internet connections. Of course if you’re sitting on gigabit download speeds or something, the decompression will take way longer than what you save from the download.

Honestly look very readable to me, though I’m not sure on the timezone bit. Maybe they left it out? Ohterwise it’s 26th of January 2025, 18:41

It’s gonna be problematic when there’s 5 digit years, but other than that it’s… not good, but definitely less ambiguous than any “normally formatted” date where DD <= 12. Is it MM/DD or DD/MM? We’ll never fucking know!

Of course, YYYY-MM-DD is still the king because it’s both human readable and sortable as a regular string without converting it into a datetime object or anything.

why waste taxpayer dollars

Translation: They offered me the gig with no pay and I was too much of a pussy to negotiate or just, y’know, say no.

There’s no true alternative to cloudflare because cloudflare provides you with a ridiculous amount of nice things, many with generous free tiers.

Deflect has a 10 dollar minimum which is basically nothing, but at the same time, way more than cloudflare where basic protection is free.

Yes, I’m also a CF user for my personal and business domains. Not sure if I’m happy about it but then again I haven’t paid them a cent yet.

Yes, this happrned in France.

I was under the assumption that it’s not important to specify the country in online headlines because I can think of some countries whose citizens never do.

There’s also Max but nobody ever really remembers he exists.

It’s just a host they both use. Exposing it is not a bad thing inherently, but unless you know what you’re doing you’re probably better off hiding it behind cloudflare. Cloudflare can handle a DDoS a lot better than some regional hosting provider. So I’m not saying OVH SAS is a bad hosting provider, but that it’s easier to DDoS an instance not behind Cloudflare (ml, hex)
