The "we know better than you" attitude Microsoft has. They've very slowly removed more and more power user functionality. Almost every customization has to be hacked in with a group policy or registry edit now, or by outright replacing explorer.exe

and now look. They've got unrelated people online recommending a person doesn't buy from them because it'll be a poor experience. Is being detached from reality a requirement for upper management?

Last I heard, Capcom was retroactively adding DRM to their games which could severely impact compatibility. I don't get why Mega Man 2 would need to be protected with spyware, but that's a big corp for you. So yeah, I'd say Capcom games might qualify.

I hate the fact that if you want to change the case on a file in windows, you can't just replace the offending letter. You have to change the name completely, then change it back with the correct casing. Then Windows will finally keep it.

Milk-V just keep churning these things out. I wonder what the RISC-V market looks like? I assume they're targeting business application and not hobbyists? I'm very much ignorant, and have never seen an implementation using RISC-V anywhere.

I actually ordered a Mars just yesterday but I get the feeling, after initial intrigue, that it'll be a curiosity that sits in the drawer until it eventually gets thrown away. Maybe it was a good thing Meles was sold out at the time of my order. haha

I don't think it's that simple for a business. Crypto is simultaneously an asset and an income once it is sold, but also not a traditionally defined accounting asset. Combine that with how slow the government has been to properly define crypto, I bet most businesses would rather just not have to deal with it. Last thing they'd want is the IRS coming after them for doing it wrong.

I always made the mistake of starting to edit videos, finish up, then looking up the video fps and matching the project type before output. Immediate crash.

maybe it is tax reasons? I know that for personal taxes you have to simply declare crypto earnings but business tax laws don't really like grey areas.

64bit cut out 16bit compatibility. So I'm guessing the fear is that 128 would cut 32.

In the USA, if it is not explicitly written in your job description/contract that you are remote, yes. It also means you can't apply for unemployment as you were terminated for refusal to perform work duties, even if you are working.

I was going to upgrade to a 6500XT to do some 1080 gaming but found out that I was on Gen3. AMD cheaped out and only put 4 lanes on the 6500XT, which meant not enough bandwidth. I don't know how much of an outlier I am, as comparing which board has what generation is not easy.

Forgive my ignorance, but an apartment where the landlord is removed and people just pay building maintenance is... a condominium, no?

Both Battle Network Legacy Collection and Mega Man X DiVE were released last year though?

It was a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure I just put it in the windows Startup folder. It's not installed as a service or anything.

Yup, I hate that Microsoft chat programs no longer give you the option of showing available whenever signed in. Has to force it's own system of timeouts and away. So people will start emailing me thinking I'm away when I'm just waiting for a ping. Ended up installing Caffeine and having it press Shift so that the system will recognize that I'm actually alive and available.

How would they even know you are the driver and not a passenger?

Last time I tried it let me create a local account, then about a week later I got called because Windows threw a full-screen blocker on boot saying a Microsoft account was required to continue with "I'll do it later" being greyed out. Oddly enough, ALT+F4 worked to close it and continue.

I've seen it. It's almost like a form of ADHD training. Make sure the person's attention is never on something for too long, and make sure the attention snaps to whatever ad pops up.

last time I tuned into AM radio, I got shivers with the amount of hate consistently being spouted on each station I tuned to.

I wouldn't shed a tear if all that hate suddenly vanished, but I'd rather it not be because automakers wanted to save $0.05 per vehicle.

With the new changes to the repo management, that's not going to remain true for much longer.
