Hey, just what you see, pal.
Anecdata: Every time over the years that my parents (now in their 70s) have purchased a new mac, software updates only ever happen if I run them. I don't visit all the time. They run outdated versions of everything…
> But some sneaky, cowardly bastards sucker-punch you with their dickbars only after you have started reading, and begin to scroll down the page. Yeah, about that, news websites who want to sell me a subscription. I…
Dammit. I got an IdeaPad of similar price in december 2024. It didn't have one of the fancier displays from the era but still a decent option, it has 16Gb and I thought I'd try a Ryzen mobile thing that time. Wish I'd…
Looked at the headline, no prior knowledge of this. "New Mozilla product, okay. Must be... something AI?" click "Ah, of course it is."
In an interesting twist of fate, one of the master copyists featured prominently in the Scener section of that site has come back in the last few years to win graphics competitions again with both - directly ripping…
Well that's a pompous headline from the author's PR dept. "Europe" as in, "The European Union", or just some marketing trick based on making you believe it is to give it more weight? I'm european and can still easily…
It doesn't. I "worked around" that by setting a 5 minute daily timer for youtube on my phone - just enough to mark a few regular videos as "Watch Later". Gives me an incentive to scroll past the shorts.
Funnily enough, from one engine with runtime portal culling to another :)
I have this on my backlog of Jams to go through, but peeked ahead hoping to see Alekswithak in there, and indeed, it's him. He's already scored a few great SP mods : Alkaline, Dwell, Dwell 2 - which should also be…
[Pre-Chorus] I think of all the education that I missed But then my homework was never quite like this [Chorus] Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad I'm hot for teacher Got it bad, sooo bad I'm hot for teacher Wow!…

Pioneer DJ, I mean AlphaTheta, probably don't even know MusicBrainz exists. They're too busy selling subscriptions for RekordBox. And they do nothing to help you with the metadata on your files, besides filtering in…
Most of the CDs we burned at home in the 1998-2005 era were still good in recent years, some DVDs in there too. Luck, I guess. No delamination or rot. Really, my main problems were figuring out file types without…
> The best way to experience this is at one of the top festivals. The second best way is at a club. I would respectfully disagree and swap these, unless the festival is something like Freerotation. Festivals tend to…
> Elon Musk famously got an access denied there once. Also wasted Richie Hawtin, IIRC. And of course, as I'm sure he asked, they knew who he was :D
Someone in a past thread here mentioned how they enjoyed the help of LLMs to generate all their PR marketing nonsense blurbs, because they looked just as good as the real thing. It might have been 2-3 years ago but I…
Might be a Monty Python joke, as in "fetchez la vache!"
Seems like it's, - "good job on the acquisition and maintaining some kind of product" - how many of these are users? - "this is now dead and completely useless to me, I am switching to something FLOSS this instant" -…
In retrospect, it seems almost nuts that appliances from the past came with not only a block diagram, but a schematic. Especially now that everything is not only too complex to be documented "for your own good", and…
Dale Luck (from the original team) is preserving it, apparently.
Q3test came out in 1999 - on the classic Mac OS he despised, even a bit before its final OS 9 incarnation. This was to get the biggest bugs ironed out on the most restricted hardware scope available as they were going…
Oh, that reminds me of a similar experience with Facebook video. Did a live DJ stream a few years ago but only recorded the audio locally at max quality. Back then, I think I already had to use the browser debugger to…
I only recently read Philip K.Dick's Ubik and this headline alone sounded oddly familiar. At least, your smart locks aren't requesting payment ... yet?
Go for it, you might be surprised! In the last 6 years or so, I decided to poke at my childhood Amiga 500 again when visiting family (which is where it still lives) and I wasn't sure how many of the errors I saw came…
