We’re all secretly longing for the macbook wheel that was leaked over 15 years ago:

Off the top of my head, vi came out in the late 70s (though it might have been a little while later before you could start editing directly through vi)

If this offends your sensibilities then I can’t wait until you look at what someone did to C:

It is sad that this guy just can’t let go.

Honestly though, if he can preemptively put sufficient funds into escrow dedicated to managing all aspects of the site and engineering plans for digging with minimal perturbation of each waste cell, then let him have it*.

(* Escrow amount should be approximately $780m)

Oh man, I love Noita so much, but it can be so difficult at times.

It’s so good, but I’m a bit sad that my current playthrough from last week can’t load into 1.0…

If you’re referring to being blind to the plot specifically (but not what style of game it is), then my list is:

• outer wilds
• hades
• disco elysium

Either ambient instrumental music (lots of Brian Eno) or any music that I know all the words to (so that my brain doesn’t have to actively process the lyrics).

You could, but should pick a different drive than c (this will likely break a ton of stuff)

I actually really like that fsutil case sensitivity can be set on a folder by folder basis so that I can have a safe space to deal with Linux files.

If it wasn’t an infosec issue (because no math rocks), it would be an opsec or comsec issue. We’re the weak link unfortunately.

Yeah, definitely a place where society is lacking.

Bummer. The '\?' prefix will work regardless of registry setting, though it’s a pain to remember each time.

You can also enable long paths in w10/11 (30,000+ characters). Instructions are here:

Can’t you work around that with the extended length prefix of \\?\ (\\?\C:\whateverlongpathhere\)? Though admittedly, it is a pain in the ass to use.

Agreed. For an example of station id happening at slightly off times, listen to a live sports broadcast (like baseball). Due to the shorter time between pitches, station id will instead happen between batters, which won’t line up with any given time.

Same thing with hockey, where radio station id will happen when the clock stops.

“Maximum Overdrive” for me.

Also, great call on Megaforce.

I’m not the original person in the thread, but I’m pretty anti-piracy. However, the bulk of my media spending is on musicians (with direct buying from an artist being my primary means of purchase).

With that said, I absolutely understand why so many people pirate movies/tv. Streaming for those is an absolute shit show.

The dark tower series is my favorite post-apocalyptic fantasy sci-fi western series.

I cannot remember the last time I saw a KQ5 reference. Well done.
