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.

(edited for clarity and formatting)

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.

Are kids still even taught the three Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle)? I was always taught that they were listed in order of importance, but that seems to conflict with modern capitalism.

I think they’re implying that a black hole the mass of a person has the same gravitational attraction that the person had before collapsing (negligible).

For anyone in RHEL / Fedora land (or using dnf somewhere else), try dnf needs-restarting to list executables that have mismatched files on disk vs memory. The -r flag will hint if a reboot is needed (due to things like kernel or glibc changes)

Definitely this. There are utilities here with 5% service charges for paying online. I’d rather pay by check

It’s slowly coming back to me… There was a floppy disk that you needed to launch the raid config? Also the platform ran pretty well with debian 4.0 if you’re debating what to run on it.
