Anyone else this there’s actually nothing at all wrong with the “New” row of icons? Except for the triangle one, which is terrible in its “Original” version as well, as it indicates absolutely nothing about its app (I believe it’s Google Drive, right?). All the rest are clearly distinguishable, and have relevance to what the app does.

Case in point: Every single thing Microsoft is doing in Windows these days.

That inserter issue has been annoying for so long.

Absolutely. Like you say, it just doesn’t happen in large streams, and the threshold is probably a lot larger than you think, since on average maybe 10% of viewers actually participate in chat. The dynamic starts shifting at around 1,000 simultaneous viewers, in my experience, between chat being readable and interactable, and being just spam. That’s still plenty big enough to qualify for partner, and even make a living off of streaming alone.

So, you’re a tech nerd who wants an addictive game?

Factorio.

Also Satisfactory, but I’m not sure how well it runs on Linux. Fairly sure Factorio will run on just about anything

Windows 11 has ads NOW, in the enterprise install I’m provided at work.

Generally speaking, fault protection schemes need only account for one fault at a time, unless you’re a really large business, or some other entity with extra-stringent data protection requirements.

RAID protects against drive failure faults. Backups protect against drive failure faults as well, but also things like accidental deletions or overwrites of data.

In order for RAID on backups to make sense, when you already have RAID on your main storage, you’d have to consider drive failures and other data loss to be likely to occur simultaneously. I.E. RAID on your backups only protects you from drive failure occurring WHILE you’re trying to restore a backup. Or maybe more generally, WHILE that backup is in use, say, if you have a legal requirement that you must keep a history of all your data for X years or something (I would argue data like this shouldn’t be classified as backups, though).

Damn, actual personal growth being displayed on the internet? Such a rare thing I find myself wondering it wasn’t all staged. How messed up is that?

Also, how messed up is it that it worked, cause I’mm’a go watch all of these.

There was a Payday 3?

Why the hell is a professional tech business not relying almost-exclusively in ethernet, anyway?

Discord gained popularity and maintains it, in spite of the many reasons to avoid it, because of usability and feature richness. Slack, Teams, Matrix, Telegram, they are miles ahead of everyone else in the live-chat space, when it comes to user experience.

This was an interesting article about some tech I’ve never heard of before, but it has little to nothing to do with Discord’s overall success.

Not one single mention in the article of what an “RCS message” is.

Boy do I hate articles that just assume you know all the context you need.

rsync, for sure. That’s what I used when I had to migrate a 10TB datastore to a new machins.

I made a romhack at one point to increase all gained XP by 10x. Might still have it somewhere, and it’d be easy enough to adjust for reduced XP.

The only thing I can think of not aging well by today’s standards is the level grinding. I recall having to do quite a bit of it my first time playing it, just to keep up with the difficulty curve, and it’s not like I was skipping all the sidequests. That was a fairly common aspect for RPGs of the era, I think.

It’s also possible I wasn’t very good at the game, I was like 11 or 12 at the time.

Armored Core 6 topped it for me, with Tears of the Kingdom and The Talos Principal 2 as close runners up.

They’re both good voice actors, I think, but FemShep is canon, as far as I’m concerned.

Every few years, the landscape of good file explorers on Play Store shuffles up. Currently, CX seems to be the way to go.

He knows the answer. It’s a rhetorical question, meant to piss off iPhone users.

Did anyone really think that making UEFI systems the equivalent of a mini OS was a good idea? Or having them be accessible to the proper OS? Was there really no pushback, when UEFI was being standardized, to say “images that an OS can write to are not critical to initializing hardware functionality, don’t include that”? Was that question not asked for every single piece of functionality in the standard?
