Turns out people don’t wanna pay console/PC prices to play games on their mobile devices. Who knew.

GeForce Now.

Care to explain?

If I had a nickel for every time a full power cycle fixed it all, I’d be rich. However, if you did power cycle before and call in again, often it’s an issue that needs deeper investigation. In that case, the tech can likely watch the process of your equipment coming online in realtime to see where the issue is happening. Network entry, authentication, package application, DHCP, it can often be monitored as it’s happening. A reboot while on the phone starts the process right from the beginning so it can be monitored to determine what happens immediately and what happens after it sits for a while.

1. Unplug the power
2. Wait ~30 seconds, just to ensure it’s good and off
3. Plug it back in

Fortunately there are no commands to enter or buttons to click. They’re designed to handle losing power.

I work in the magical world of ISPs. If you’re having an internet issue, reboot your router and/or modem before calling in. It may not seem like much to you, but many background processes happen when you do so. This can be useful to troubleshoot where the issue lies. There’s a reason why techs will make you do so when calling in. And yes, they can tell on their end if and when you do so. So don’t bullshit them by saying you already did it if you didn’t.

Been charging my phone overnight for years. Battery health is 100% and I never have to worry about charging.

Our table always drinks coffee during a session regardless of time of day. As for snacks, whatever looks appealing from the local dollar store.

It’s a silly response to a silly meme. If this is how butthurt you get over such an innocuous comment, I highly recommend you touch grass. Soon.

For those of us who have ages in the double digits… who and what?

That is, if you’re still using Google search…

What’s a viable alternative? Bing seems to be just as rah rah AI as Google, DDG gives me oranges if I search for apples… if there is an actually useful search engine out there that isn’t actively in the process of becoming enshittified, I would absolutely love to know.

Nice

When Conker’s Bad Fur Day is available with unlocked resolution and widescreen, let me know.

But if the paper nation flanks us we’ll be at a stalemate. We have a conundrum.

Stick every time. Stick is a sword, a walking tool, a measure, a prybar. Rock is rock. You can throw it. You can hit stuff with it. That’s about it.

Good thing Ubuntu 24.04 LTS comes out tomorrow. I’ll be doing a reinstall on my machine and sticking with it until the next LTS release in two years.

It looks like an open source Cube World, basically.

Multi-track drifting, baby. Double infinite.

The Game Boy line of handheld consoles revolutionized the gaming industry and were fascinating devices, even if they had some absolutely bizarre models and accessories at times. Did you know there existed (but was never used) a Game Boy Color accessory used to anesthetize children before surgery? True story.
