Apparently they disabled that bypass recently.

I don’t know if installing Windows 10 and then upgrading can get around this though.

Home versions, which most home users have, force the use of MS accounts. They’ve patched the bypass tricks that people used before.

They’re suing because Microsoft got an exclusion from the Digital Markets Act. Google did not.

The cuzzif. Cuzzif it wasn’t there, your guts would fall out.

Mine are similar to yours, but only two relatively short periods per year. It hits me mid-spring, and end of summer.

As for your allergy testing, it’s likely you’re not really allergic to all of the allergens you were tested for. In many cases for those tests, if a few of the allergens trigger a reaction, then all or most of the injection sites will react rather than just the ones you’re allergic to. It helps when you can tell in the moment which one started it, since reactions happen quite quickly.

HFW was so much worse for conversation animations.

There’s no way they’re giving you an “upgrade” for free. Don’t worry, as long as you don’t pay for it, you’re not getting the new version.

Boiling the frog and whatnot.

It’s easier to accept this annoyance and move on. And then the next one. And the next. Why bother fighting anything at that point? It’s easier to let them step on us and be thankful they’ll take our money for it.

Rockstar has apparently bought FiveM.

Rockstar have already mentioned that they are working to get the game working on Steam Deck, and by extension Linux in general.

Shouldn’t be too hard since BattlEye is supposed to be compatible and there’s a BattlEye Proton runtime.

Some games are also just well-optimized. Definitely more of a gaming GPU, but when I had a 1070Ti in my rig, I could run Doom 2016 at 4k at well over 60fps

I’ve been using a Pinecil which is USB-C powered. It heats up in seconds and the temp can be adjusted easily. The big plus to me is how small it is. It’s so much easier to handle than a standard iron, and the tips are push-in and can be locked with a screw so they’re easy to swap.

Fast boot is just Windows logging you out of your session, then hibernating.

Sleep is keeping the computer in a low-power state with RAM powered on…

Both of these have been known to result in laptops powering on unbeknownst to their owners to perform updates and remain powered on afterward.

Windows by default doesn’t fully power off when you tell it to shut down. It goes into hibernation and keeps the network open for updates and will sometimes power back on to complete these updates.

If you want to fully power off, hold the left shift key when you click shut down. Or turn the power off elsewhere (eg. psu or power bar.) I’m sure there’s another way to do it, or to prevent the behavior entirely.

IIRC Doom didn’t have a skybox per se, just parallax ceiling textures. You could put that texture on floors or ceilings and it would show the sky texture that would not be attached to the walls.

Zucchini is shaped like a penis. It doesn’t get any more manly than that.

Alton John, a famous musician who sings about food.

650,000 centuries, yes.

There are exclusions to copyrights accepted under fair use which could easily be tightened if major copyright holders (like Disney) have their way.

If you’re looking for a fun Youtube channel to folliw, check out Sorted Food. They do a lot of silly food challenge videos, but a lot of them have some really good lessons for the average know-nothing cook.
