Yeah, that’s the internet for you. Anything you want to stay around will vanish someday, and anything you want gone will be here forever.
They forced everyone off Origin and onto the EA App.
They still didn’t make a remember password button that works.
I know exactly what she’s thinking from that expression.
How unprofessional.
Can we really handwave away the whole Adam and Eve thing though?
If we do, then what did Jesus die for?
Well, I never really thought about it until now either. Haha. Though, it was mostly a choice of apathy, since when I’m dead I won’t really care what someone does with them, I only really get to pretend that I will while I’m alive today.
If they’re not charging for my organs that get donated, then that’s pretty cool. I mean, I was given mine for free, so it only makes sense to give them for free when I’m done with them.
Of course, I live in the middle of nowhere, so whether they’ll find someone who can use my stuff before it goes bad is a whole different thing entirely.
It’s good that you were able to find some lungs.
My ID says I am, but I’m not registered anywhere else. Why did I have my ID say it? Because I felt like it that day when I renewed it. That’s literally all there was to it.
Real talk though, I almost don’t think I should be donating my organs. Why should the hospital get for free what they’re going to charge a family hundreds of thousands of dollars for?
So by putting a stamp on an absentee ballot, therefore paying the postal service to deliver it, am I committing an Alabama felony? Or are interactions with the postal service explicitly exempted from it?
Wow… this isn’t even the first time I’ve seen this recommended. That’s really funny.
Windows has been getting worse and worse all the time. With any luck, as Windows gets worse, interest in Linux will rise on its own. But it’s hard to say what tomorrow brings.
No, it’s better to be honest. The average user isn’t ready for Linux, because Linux is not ready for the average user. I’d never try and get someone to use it if they’re not already interested. I hate that it is this way, but it is. Linux is only really for people who already want to use it. Because if you’re not interested in using it, you’re not going to put forth the time investment to gain the benefits from it. No matter what angle I look at it from Linux is not for the average person.
Your second paragraph says it all. Find out if the user needs to dual boot? The answer is obviously “No” because no matter what they’re using the computer for, Linux is unneeded for them, since they have Windows. There are tangible benefits to using Windows, since it runs their software, meanwhile, you failed to list any real benefits to using Linux for the average user. It’s faster? No, not really, since they’ll be learning how to use it, and even ignoring that, it’s not so much faster that they’ll perceive it anyway. It’s more secure? Not really, Windows is the better choice for the average user in that respect, since it’ll automatically force them to restart the machine every week to install security updates. Main choice of professionals? That’s not entirely true, and even if it were, it’s not relevant, the average user is not a professional. And for anyone who already owns a computer already running Windows, Windows was ‘free’ too.
The only time to have this discussion is if the user is having a PC built, and then the answer is also “No” to Linux, because they’re going to buy Windows anyway, since it’s better for gaming, and that’s the primary reason for someone to build a PC, unless they’re doing a specialized task like video editing, and if they are invested enough into the task to want a PC just for that, they have specialized software that almost always runs only on Windows, and even if it were able to run on either, it’s not my place to alter their workflow.
The real elitist attitude is thinking people need to use Linux in the first place. For me and (maybe) you, it might get the job done, but for my family and friends. It’s better that they use what they’re comfortable with. The main point of a computer is to accomplish tasks, and giving them Linux is a hindrance to that.
Linux is great, but it’s not for everyone, and it may never be.
I feel like this is so they can deny that they fed all the webpages that they cached to their ‘AI’ training datasets later when someone accuses them of that. Now when asked about the copies of webpages that they have they can be like “What copies?” and end the conversation there.
The problem was the last game. It kind of ruined the entire series. I didn’t like the artstyle change between games. But it also just felt like it was not as good compared to the previous entries. Also they introduced time travel, time travel is like a story killer. Of course, the story was already dead with other choices they had made.
I felt like a 4th sly cooper game should have been about Sly’s child since the themes were already about some multigenerational thief family. Sly’s child would have wanted to be a cop just like mom, and then been confused after finding out that his family’s criminal roots. It could have been a more adult story, for the now more adult players who were children with the previous games. I dunno.
What happened to Mark of Kri?
It got two games, and then just kind of vanished.
For some reason I thought this was going to have something to do with “Obey Wario, Destroy Mario!”
Honestly, if you want to use Nintendo Switch JoyCons as your PC controller, your best bet is to just use the JoyCons. I’m not sure if later revisions corrected it, but the HTC Vive controllers had pretty poor build quality, I’m not confident they could stand up to any real heavy usage.
The biggest issue with them though, is that they simply have too few buttons to do anything great with. On each one, you get two side buttons, a menu button, a power button, and (this is what kills it) a single trigger. This gives us 4 real buttons on each. We need ~16 to emulate a real controller, and we’re only half way there. You might be able to squeak out some extra buttons from the touch pads, but I’m kind of assuming you’d be using those as joysticks, since the controllers have none. Having buttons and joysticks both in there sounds like a bad time.
So yeah, I’d probs go with the JoyCons and just live with the poor wireless range if possible. It kind of sucks, but they seem to be the right tool for the job.
Yeah, I learned about this as a child, since my cat would put her paw into the cat bowl and pull pieces of dry food out to eat on the floor.
I started putting her food on a plate and no more food was pulled to the floor.
The kitten I have now plays too rough and breaks all his whiskers off, so he doesn’t mind the bowl. But he’ll also get a plate if he mellows out.
It’d be very very bad for schools in the US in rural areas. There’s no way they’d be able to afford equivalent services to what Google offers them for basically free, ever again. Many children would lose their assignments to Google Drive and others would be sad from losing what’s basically a time capsule of their entire life that was stored in there.
Another loss would be Android, and the Google Play Store. So many phones would basically become waste overnight. It’d be absolutely tragic. At least that’s the way I see it.
Most less technically literate folks would lose their ability to use their computers overnight. They’d go to Chrome to make a google search to go to their favorite website, and when they see the page showing that Google cannot be found, they’d just assume their computer is broken. Microsoft would be the ‘saviour’ in this. I’m sure they’d happily push out an update for Windows that resets your default browser to Microsoft Edge (again) and your default search engine to Bing.
Later down the road, whoever buys the old Google domains would likely be able to spread some sick malware and steal a lot of data from people who didn’t prepare properly.
That’s just what I can immediately think of. I’m sure there’s more, or something worse I forgot about. Haha.
They requested the delay to July, since he is in court for another case in another area. I suppose it was reasonable to grant it. It’d be unfair for someone to not get their right to a trial, even if they were found guilty of a crime in another area.
It’d make more sense to keep him in custody in the meantime though. I mean, that’s what they do for normal people. Right?
