Yeah, but like, holy crap, there’s a way to make phantoms not spawn?! TIL

Did anyone really think that making UEFI systems the equivalent of a mini OS was a good idea? Or having them be accessible to the proper OS? Was there really no pushback, when UEFI was being standardized, to say “images that an OS can write to are not critical to initializing hardware functionality, don’t include that”? Was that question not asked for every single piece of functionality in the standard?

If you had a one-way ticket to Jan 1, 1999 that departs on Jan 1, 2024, and you are allowed to bring whatever fits into a backpack with you, what would you bring to use to take over the world, and how would you use it? (kbin.social)

Assume that the future can change based on your actions, so any historical information that you bring along with you from the intervening 25 years may quickly drift out of the new realities history....

It’s not, that’s the joke, based on Elon’s rant about losing advertisers the other day.

Picked up this game earlier this week, and I have been VERY impressed. I was expecting Power Wash Simulator, but in space, but the game is SO much more polished than that.

[Question] Are you cooking something other than turkey for Thanksgiving?

My wife and I rarely cook turkey for Thanksgiving. This year we’re coming Cornish hens. In previous years we’ve cooked duck, leg of lamb, and rib roast. It’s not that we don’t like turkey, but there are lots of other things that I think I’d prefer eating....

JakenVeina ,

We’ve done Cornish Hens exclusively before, but we usually do ham plus Turkey.

What we did one year and are gonna do again this year that’s a little non-traditional is the boneless turkey roasts that you can get, instead of a full turkey. The breast roast gets a wet salt brine overnight, stuffed, and then wrapped in bacon. The dark-meat roast gets dry-brined with salt and a few herbs, and then coated in solid fat to develop a crust.

Parents Sue Gaming Companies Over ‘Video Game Addiction’, Because That’s Easier Than Parenting (www.techdirt.com)

Parents Sue Gaming Companies Over ‘Video Game Addiction’, Because That’s Easier Than Parenting::Video game addiction. Sigh. Big sigh, even. Like, the biggest of sighs. We’ve talked about claims that video game addiction is a documentable affliction in the past, as well as the pushback that claim has received from...

“Parents Sue Cigarette Companies Over ‘Tobacco Addiction’, Because That’s Easier Than Parenting”

When a company makes a product they don’t just KNOW is harmful, but BECAUSE it’s harmful, and they’ve ENGINEERED it to be harmful, for the sake of profit, it ceases to be solely about parenting.

JakenVeina ,

For sure, but that doesn’t mean we’re cool with marketing it to kids.

As someone with 0 investment in this whole ecosystem, I saw and perused this article like a week ago, and my immediate impression was “Why is this guy constantly saying ‘Wayland breaks XXXXX’? Wayland isn’t breaking anything, it’s new tech. Wayland has certain features, or it doesn’t or doesn’t yet. The only folks breaking anything are those swapping use of X with Wayland, within various apps or tech stacks, potentially prematurely, where Wayland doesn’t yet have the full set of features needed.”

Whoever this is seems to have a really poor understanding of long-term software development, despite being way more invested in it than I am.

Brendan Carr complained that the order empowers the FCC “to regulate each and every ISP’s network infrastructure deployment, network reliability, network upgrades, network maintenance, customer premise equipment, installation, speeds, capacity, latency, data caps, throttling, pricing, promotional rates, late fees, opportunity for equipment rental, installation time, contract renewal terms, service termination fees,” and more.

Awesome!

Of course, given this statement, the one thing we can be sure of about these new rules is that they do not do this.

I’m sorry, mouthwash peels your skin off?!

I like TypeScript less for its ability to categorize my grocery list and more for its ability to stop anyone from putting cyanide on it.

Fair enough.

Gandalf, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Dunno if it was pulled from the book, or if it exists only in the movie.

I was actually gonna ask about this point, thanks for the context.

“It’s like e-mail, but for social media. You create an account with GMail or Yahoo or whoever, and that lets you interact with anyone else with an e-mail address, doesn’t matterof they’re using the same e-mail service as you.”

Seems more like such waste heat should be recovered and fed back into the system, to reduce energy consumption for the facility as a whole. If there’s enough waste heat to meaningfully talk about transferring it to homes via water or steam, surely there’s enough to make some electricity.

I sure don’t want Amazon or Microsoft involved in the utilities businesses, as another commenter pointed out.

Forget the school, the individuals in the administration are the ones that need to be sued.

JakenVeina ,

Like the school district is going to be able to pay out $40 million.

Point being, the school district will shoulder all the consequences, or just declare bankruptcy, all at the expense of the taxpayers and the students and teachers that all of those taxes are supposed to be going to, while the actual people that made reckless and criminal decisions face almost no personal consequences.

It’s telling that this is omly for GDPR countries. They don’t want YOUR money, they want advertisers’ and data analysts’ money. A subscription isn’t as profitable as selling your personal data. How fucked up is that?

Love how this plays in relation to all the arguments of “well, you have to understand, Unity doesn’t turn a profit yet, they need to be able to make money”, from when they first announced the change.

JakenVeina ,

Let’s be clear, though: developers did not make this decision. Managers and publishers did.

JakenVeina ,

This is what, a particular game mode?

JakenVeina ,

Knew it before clicking it.

Best part was how they remembered the dude’s goddamn car from when they used to work on it, 20 years prior.

Unfortunately, you’re only hearing one of them.

Tom died in 2014 of Alzheimer’s, 2 years after they retired from the show.

What is something (feature, modes, settings...) you would like to see become a standard in video games?

I’ve been thinking about making this thread for a few days. Sometimes, I play a game and it has some very basic features that are just not in every other game and I think to myself: Why is this not standard?! and I wanted to know what were yours....

JakenVeina ,

Borderless Windowed mode. Seriously, there is 0 excuse for PC games to not support it, it’s 2023.

JakenVeina ,

It means you can take focus away from the game without it throwing a hissy fit. I.E. you can click out of it.

JakenVeina ,

Wow. Valid cert, matching icon, identical web page, and virtually-identical URL. I absolutely would have fallen for that, and I’ve been meaning to visit KeePass’s website and download the latest version, too.

JakenVeina ,

SmartTube is excellent on our NVidia Shield. Not sure what other platforms it works on.

JakenVeina ,

Fun read.

So, is the implication here that ONLY Microsoft keys can be in the db, and thus they’re the ultimate authority on who gets signed? Does Microsoft somehow own the UEFI standard?

Relatedly, can anyone elaborate on their reason for refusing to sign GRUB? I’m not following just from that short quote.

JakenVeina ,

Go big or go home.

JakenVeina ,

It took me three attempts for me to finally enjoy it, and get through the whole game, I feel you. The game’s high barrier to entry is its biggest flaw.I’m glad you’re enjoying it

I’d wager their focus is advertising ON social media.

Seconded for Transmission. It’s light on features because (as far as I know) it’s the only ine in this list that’s built to run unattended in a Docker container, with a web interface.

Finished final achievements in Armoed Core 6.

Picked up Unrailed for $5 on Steam (great purchase).

Started a fresh file Ilin Stardew Valley, cause why not?
