Would you mind to name five of those hundreds of problems?

Come on, almost two thirds of DB Fernverkehr’s trains are punctual (if you accept DB’s definition of punctuality, which allows six minutes of delay to still be counted as punctual).

US is probably the only country that went back on rail transport. Every other country is taking it as far as they possibly can.

I don’t know for other countries, but Germany (that has a decent high-speed rail network, to be fair) had a rail network of almost 55,000 km in the 50s and less than 40,000 today. More than 300 train stations have been closed since the year 2000 alone.

A developer evangelist is not a press person, but a developer that gives talks to other developers. I didn’t find any specific numbers, but Microsoft probably has hundreds of them. And anyway you wouldn’t expect that kind of announcement to be made by anyone who isn’t like C-level, in a presentation made specifically for that fact, accompanied by a big marketing campaign, and so on.

Windows 11 officially requires Secure Boot and TPM 2.0, but can easily be run with just TPM 1.2, and with some effort even without TPM. All the other system requirement increases (like single to dual core, 2 to 4 GB RAM, etc.) don’t really play a role for any recently built PC anyway.

But incorrectly quoted as “Microsoft promised…”. It was one low-tier Microsoft employee who said it once, in a side note of a conference talk that was not about the future of Windows.

Mostly because they have to wait for Half-Life 3 in order not to confuse the customers.

Not having 60 fps might be an issue for a shooter or anything that is built on fast reactions, but it doesn’t really sound like an issue in a city builder.

Isn’t Lemmy primarily a link sharing network?

I didn’t read it, so I didn’t share it initially, but this was the article I saw earlier:

No. There are studies about that, see e.g. https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/misinformation-desk/202212/study-few-people-read-what-they-share for a more recent one. That’s also why Facebook, Twitter & Co at various times implemented various features trying to push you reading the stuff you post.

Same for me. And the individual games have prices > 0.

EDIT: 15 minutes later, now it works.

Given that in the very same post he wrote “we need to go back, way back, into the mists of time, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and we started working on TF2”, did you consider it could just be a joke?

This article has been shared a lot when it was published a month ago.

Microsoft Teams has a completely different technical base than Skype for Business. Other platform, other language, other tech stack, other APIs, other protocols, other features. The one that just was a reskinned something was Skype for Business, formerly known as Lync, formerly known as Office Communicator, formerly known as Windows Messenger, formerly known as Exchange Conferencing, …

The English voice recordings for Cyberpunk 2077 were all done in London and LA. So it’s basically sure that it wasn’t Poland, and it’s much more likely that it was LA than London in this case.

They cut the size down to 30 MB on iOS in 2019, but they’re back to 110 since (on Android, it’s 60 MB).

EDIT: In terms of updates, they are pretty stable at one update a week on both systems.

When you were deciding for this processor, Intel’s similarly priced i5s were no match for it, so if you were looking for Intels as well, you likely would have had an eye on the i7 processors of that time (for a minor performance benefit at a heavy price tag). So maybe that is where your 7 is coming from.

There used to be a shop (two shops, actually, operated by the same guy; he now retired) in my home town that was selling Christmas stuff all year. Not other stuff plus some Christmas stuff, but just Christmas stuff.

What will people do? Sue him to provide the promised legal funds they need to sue their employers?
