The Canadian public institution I work at has been diving deeper and deeper into the Microsoft soup in the past few years. Getting out of there would take a considerable amount of work.

I never played the Sims or GTA 3 without them.

I mainly had trouble on the steam deck, in the early days. Most people recommended unpacking on a windows PC and transferring the files back then. It might be easier now, but it is more trouble than a game dump.

It’s harder to use on Linux, and lower-performance devices. I would prefer prefer having dumps of the pre-installed game folder to use on a steam deck, for example.

So, this is completely off topic, but some of the comments here reminded me of it:

An elderly family friend was spending a lot of her time using Photoshop to make whimsy collages and stuff to give as gifts to friends and family.
I discovered that when she wanted to add text to an image, she would type it out in Microsoft Word, print it, scan the printed page, then overlay the resulting image over the background with a 50% opacity.
I showed her the type tool in Photoshop and it blew her mind.

Doesn’t make it less of a monopoly.

It does have metroidvania aspects, for sure. But if its the only “metroidvania game” you’ve played, then you haven’t really played any metroidvania games, in my opinion.

Not sure I’d categorize Dead Cells as a metroidvania myself. More of a rogue lite.

Can’t say this looks like Pam Bondi.

I feel bad about it, but I’m really not a fan of the art they filled newer releases of Universal Blue’s Aurora with. Almost made me dismiss it as a potential distro.

I dusted off my steam controller after playing on a Steam Deck for a while, and it felt like garbage. everything is better on the Deck, especially the trackpads. This new controller looks like an additional improvement.

Yes, I’m definitely buying used, but suspect that prices will be affected there, too.

The QLC NAND shortage is created by the HDD shortage, per the article.

I recently found out a family member’s passwords are things like “1100011”, “1111000” and similar variations. It’s like they’re already using binary to give a helping boost to brute-forcing bots.

Damn, I started building a home server this summer, and I still need some HDDs for a NAS…

The main benefactor of the World Cup will be FIFA, not host cities.

By “benefactor”, they mean “beneficiary”?

What do you mean, going longer? GrapheneOS stops updates the same moment google does, AFAIK.

Which orientation of the hand is up? Would rotating your hand a few degrees count?

The mini is OK, but starting to be pretty outdated.

Actually, the best way to print a T shape is lying down ;) You will get a much stronger piece, because of the orientation of the layers.
