  • Just use dishwashing powder and laundry powder/liquid.

    Dishwasher pods kinda suck anyway. And most dishwashers have a spot for powder during the prewash, which it's highly recommended to use. (Look up technology connections videos on the topic)

  • At least untill someone sneaks a tab in your spaced code, and you don't know how to make your code editor show the difference, or it doesn't support showing the difference.

  • Ever wanted to be somewhere inbetween java and JavaScript?

    Yeah, that's Groovy. Only it's the wrong groove

  • imma decline this. My town is in the midst of a heatwave. It's too fuckin' hot.

    Also the only bike in the family is a rusty piece with flat tires and the gears perpetually need adjusting. The chain is probably in awful need of lubrication.

  • Doesn't mean it won't either - most people won't realise the computer is still usable, either by workarounds or installing a different OS - they'll either trash the PC, recycle or sell it. Or keep using it not caring that its complaining constantly that it's out of support. (And when they do, it's "how can I get rid of this annoying error" not "how can I update this?" - they probably didn't even read the error - and god forbid you manage to do the update, they won't like it if you do)

    Hell most people don't even know Linux even exists, and a lot of them couldn't even tell me what their operating system name is.

    I've had relatives that try to ask what's going on and say "I have 11" without elaborating that it's windows 11. I remember years ago my aunt said I have version 97. Referring to, at the time the totally unrelated fact that she had Office 97 installed on her winXP machine. Took me ages to work out what she actually meant.

  • It's like the XP olive theme with the vista/7 style widgets sidebar - all you need is the RPM style CPU usage gauges.

  • It was just a line...

    A Taaag Line!

    Sorry couldn't help myself

  • Good point, I might have to check that.

  • I plan to get a second dock for it, and use it in place of a stream deck for when I stream.

    Then it will be serve these purposes for me

    • TV Media PC (my first dock is connected to my TV)
    • Gaming Handheld
    • Stream Deck
    • A productivity "laptop" in a pinch - I don't own a real laptop and don't see a need to get one

    (replacing the tired old barely adequate first gen raspberry pi+touchscreen I was using until a few months ago)

  • If there's more than one zoom, it's Mazda's slogan

  • Hmmmm... no signs saying you can't do some donuts with a rear wheel drive car in the rocky patch. That should break all the windows. It may also have the bonus of breaking nearby people too.

  • Hey, that counts in my book!

  • Yes it was, but in some ways Nintendo still succeeded In what I believe is their goal - to scatter the developers.

    By shutting down Yuzu, they fragmented everyone into forking their own copies and competing to become the next Yuzu.

    What's more of a threat to them? One emulator with thousands of contributors, or 1000 emulators with 2-5 contributors each?

    The best thing about open source is the pooling of developers and resources. While forking is neither a good nor a bad thing, it does tend to break up the developer pool.

    It could take anywhere from months to years if at all for everyone to finally settle on a single fork and get back to the level of developer pool that originally existed - then if that happens, Nintendo can come along and do it all over again, at least untill they don't see the value in continuing.

  • This time without incorporated companies to hide behind! They can take our money directly!

  • Oh there will be forks across the git-verse. There's no way there wouldn't be.

    Also does this create precedent? - they settled, its not like it actually went to court.

  • It may have also been the fact that they linked to instruction on how to rip prod.keys and system firmwares. Also their instructions on enabling running copyrighted ROMs - despite the fact that Ripping game ROMs and firmware is not (unfortunately arguably, due to licencing models and jurisdiction - you will own nothing and like it.) illegal so long as it's for personal use.

    They should've advertised it primarily as a testing and homebrew platform, and made sure not to make too much mention of the fact it can be used to play backups. Then they can at least play the ignorance card with more confidence.

    Even then though, multi-billion yen company Nintendo probably would still pull this shit and drag, drag, drag the lawsuit out for forever and a day- draining lawyers fees of money. That being the case, settling is unfortunately the only option.

  • Azula, is that you?

  • True just look at how long project64 v1.6 has been around

  • Go give it to Oscar the grouch, it could be his shiny new home.
