That’s Kenny Baker

Just because someone doesn’t play games all the time doesn’t mean they don’t play games sometimes.

If you race 10 hours a week, but you watch racing 20 hours a week, are you not still a racer?

There was also a video a while back from one maker channel where the guy said that he got some type of nasty poisoning from breathing in fumes from ABS printing. Fortunately ABS isn’t as popular of a material as it once was, now that there are better alternatives, but I’m sure many of them still put out some nasty fumes.

On desktop, you can paste images directly into the textbox.

That’s not a “new trend,” it’s been that way for a long time. Denuvo is a subscription model for publishers, and it doesn’t make sense to keep paying for it after the sales have already peaked.

Oh god, not again! I’ve already had like 8 Mtn Dews tonight!

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.

All 4 of these statements are true.

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.

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.

He doesn’t think non-citizens are trying to vote, he’s just trying to limit the number of people in majority-Democrat counties voting. The whole voter fraud story is bullshit. They just want their own uneducated people to buy it.

My dick doesn’t have eyes.

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

It does. If the AI firms lose, the laws around copyrights tighten and major copyright holders profit. If they win, they get to do what they please and nobody can stop them. Either way, the public loses.

I was talking about Appx. I haven’t used Windows in a while, but that was how I got rid of Cortana. The key part was the read-only file named after the folder that couldn’t be replaced.
