Ah, I didn't actually realise Apple TV was even a streaming TV channel thing, I just sort of assumed it was a physical TV that Apple made and paid no further attention.

Still, I guess it'll eventually be shown on normal TV or at least some other TV service thing.

She would be disappointed in how untidy my files are.

"Why is the final version of this project called "test1_b_new_reworked_draft_2_prefinal_dif_font_b_temp_FINAL.png"?

She would then forgive me because her filing is worse than mine.

The older phrase used to be "You become more right wing when you get older", whereas it's quite likely it was missing the specific cause, which was "You become more right wing when you stop learning". [Edit] Typo

Sorry, is this a TV programme based on the Asimov Foundation books? How have I not even heard of it?

It's definitely stable enough for doing "real work" on, though the lack of GPU accelerated timeline playback can make some more complex projects a little difficult. I've used it for proper work plenty of times over the years (I survived the Covid lockdowns entirely with paid video editing from home, on Kdenlive, as my normal work was unavailable).

I still frequently save manually with a new filename, due to old version paranoia, but if I'm honest, it's own "it saves every click in an ongoing temp file" sort of thing works great. You lose 2 seconds of work, then restart and restore.

Basic edits are likely to have no crashes at all, wheras ones where you, for example, pan and zoom with keyframes, then speed up, then reverse the footage, then try to re-edit the pan and zoom, might get its keyframes in a twist and crash frequently.

I've heard the Windows version is less stable.

It previously just showed a grey box to the right hand side, whereas now it shows a video thumbnail of the link.

Don't you know about the bird?

I've only been scratched once in two years and it was an accident due to a fairly unlikely farcical comedy scene.

Essentially, if you're sat on a wooden chair (which can amplify sounds), and you have a nervous cat pinned on your lap, as you apply a vial of flea treatment to his neck, I recommend that you do not suddenly and loudly pass wind.

Absolutely. It's a shame that this has become so rare. Even the Framework laptop, which is put together in a modular manner, allowing pieces to be swapped in and out, doesn't give the option of having a touchpad with actual buttons.

I could have a full rant about it, but based on their lack of availability, I suspect I've got a minority opinion.

I'm sure it's not everyone's reason, but mine was "Thinkpad still has physical left, right and middle mouse buttons".

I spend a hundred quid or so, every year for the last ten years on Steam (Steam for Linux onwards), but in exchange for that, I have several hundred quality games - probably more than I can ever play in my lifetime.

How are people spending so much on imaginary gold rings for "Sweetshop Diamond Solitaire Saga Origins"?

Is it simply a matter of there's 100 of them for every 1 of me?

Crazy idea I know, but some shops employ a "security guard" for this purpose. They have to pay them with money instead of warm drinks, but as the security guard works directly for them, nobody can complain that they're hogging the attention of very thinly-spread police resources.

Haha, I don't think they can get inside the bed base, thankfully - but I'm very familiar with the 3am play-combat. There's normally one or two sleeping on our bed at night, and there's sometimes a competition for position. The one pictured is quite skilled at "Assassin's Creed" style aerial takedowns off the top of the wardrobe, onto his poor unsuspecting siblings sleeping near our feet.

Judging by the amount of times I hear the same ringtone as mine, I think where I live in the UK is about 70-80% Samsung Android phones.

Despite the structural mess of the post, the game it's showing (a mix of rimworld and a political simulator?) looks like it could be pretty interesting.

Grimm is the name of the human.

You are right - I clearly missed the "in the US" bit of the paragraph!

[Edit] or I read the TLDR bot version, which omitted this information

I'd be fine with paying for a booster, but £100 seems a bit steep for tiny bit of liquid in a tube. What does it think it is? Printer ink?

The flu jab's normally less than £15, depending on where you get it (and £0 if you're old or vulnerable enough).

You might have to cut down on the beans, but you can still have a semi-traditional bowl of sadness for breakfast. Most important meal of the day.

I have a similar problem with Gary Oldman, except I always think of Gary Coleman i.e. "What you talkin 'bout, Willis?"
