You got me briefly wondering what Three-Body Problem’s search function meant.

What is it with Spielberg finishing Kubrick’s stuff? No disrespect to either, but it’s not like their works are very similar.

Those cars cause a lot of shit apparently. Worst of all they are a liability around emergency vehicles. If this is a way of protesting that, I get it.

It’d look better. Even with the struts out.

10 micron tolerance is rather impressive for a mashed potato sculpture.

I’m sure he did pretend it was, though.

I don’t think anybody seriously used twitter as storage.

Rather the point is that, similarly to every time a blogging platform or another online service with user content shuts down, a bit of internet history disappears with it. Links are broken, traces of opinions or bits of knowledge from another time are not available anymore…

It’s not the end of the world, and at that point I wouldn’t really care if twitter disappeared completely overnight, but still, some stuff will be lost.

If you start eating packaging like stickers glued to the rind of cheese, I think you can legally be considered a kind of human-goat hybrid.

It is just glued on it. It’s just on the label, not implanted inside the cheese wheel. The “you could be eating microchips!!!” part of the article is pure clickbait.

All they say is they’d be safe to eat if for some reason it ended up in the cheese. Like the rest of the label I guess.

Somehow Windows has always been and is still crap at managing archives. Ultra-slow, has trouble opening or extracting individual files inside the archive, etc.

However, 7-zip has been doing all that perfectly forever now. Not sure why anyone would use WinRAR, paid for or not.

Unless you got tricked into getting the terrible switch version. Utter crap, I definitely regret backing the game. They had the gall to tell us the game would work on Wii U and Vita back then. In the end it was almost unplayable on the Switch.

I got a PC version long after that (only because it was cheap), and yeah, that one is good.

Heh, good point.

I suspect the guys blocking the road could have prevented it by staying there, but assumed it wasn’t really their problem after all and kinda wanted to see this shit happen.

And I wouldn’t blame them.

…mullets? Do they fear cultural imperialism by time travellers from the 80s?

“Please complete the next 200 captchas so we can have a reasonably accurate estimate of your success rate”

Peer reviewing is how you know the methodology is not flawed…

Yeah, floppy without the case was my immediate guess too. Not sure why they would have been stored this way though. It’s a bit weird.

I don’t get that anymore… But for months my windows 10 was still trying to upgrade automatically despite my PC never having TPM. Only to fail every time of course. Now it’s finally acknowledging that it’s “incompatible” too.

I have a Ryzen that’s supposed to be fTPM capable but since I saw lots of performance complaints I never switched it on.

There only needs to be a couple people knowing how to get a rip for it to end up everywhere.

If physical releases start disappearing everywhere, I can see piracy getting a significant boost. It will be the only way to “own” a movie and be sure you can still watch it whenever you want. Disney has been removing content from its service already, even some recent stuff.

I know Gabe Newell’s old quote is being parroted a lot but it’s relevant : “Piracy is not a pricing issue, it’s a service issue”. Steam may be a digital market, but it doesn’t require a continued paid subscription to access stuff you’ve paid for, and it doesn’t delist games whenever it feels like it.

Funny that of all countries they could have used to launch that, 3 out of 4 are in the European Union.

They couldn’t choose a better place if they wanted privacy protection regulations to kick in and start asking embarrassing questions to them.

Oh, it’s that guy. The “Semple vs Kapoor” stuff was funny.

Before I recognized who was doing “abode” I was going to say that name was just asking for trouble, but yeah, he knew what he was doing.
