I was honestly surprised when we got the Series. I was pretty convinced that they were done with consoles after the One X|S and that Xbox would become more of a Steam competitor as a brand. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Series ended up being the last console.

Just Andrew, Andrews is a treasure and, as far as I know, has not been implicated in the files.

I could see an argument that RealPlayer did that 30 years ago.

Fun fact: … is called an ellipsis.

It’s almost exclusively called River Cane here. Probably why nobody thinks it’s bamboo.

One correction and fun fact: We absolutely had bamboo.

From what I have seen Anthropic, OpenAI, etc. seem to be running bots that are going around and submitting updates to open source repos with little to no human input.

I am disappointed to learn that it isn’t some sort of upgrade to Choose Your Own Adventure books.

Handwriting is better for retention if you are good at writing notes. Not everybody can write fast and legibly and still listen to and comprehend the lecture.

You aren’t wrong but I also think people tend to forget just how much of what we grew up on were remakes and rehashes of stuff even from the radio era. Especially the cartoons that we watched as kids, so much of that was just recycled jokes and such with some jokes for the adults of the day thrown in too. Even Star Wars was an homage to the serials of the 30s-50s like Flash Gordon, which itself got an 80s remake (with an excellent soundtrack by Queen). The remakes aren’t new they are just more obvious.

The legality of emulating current gen hardware has already been decided. (At least in the US)

For penis havers it’s called paternity leave.

ETA: Though I have always felt this to be pointlessly gendered. Everybody should get parental leave regardless.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she just heard somebody else say cabinet meeting and she thought it sounded cool.

That’s weird. Most of the cars I have had can open and close the windows from the fob. (Usually double press then hold unlock or lock, though one car I had [Accord] required the key in the door for the windows to go up.)

The day they killed off Windows Phone is they day I knew that there were no more devs left in the c-suite and that they were on a slow path to spinning off what’s left of their profitability.

They used to conduct them close enough to Vegas that you could see them:

I believe they have the option of just convening another grand jury.

I’m pretty sure Stitt is just the current president of the NGA.

They haven’t changed the plumbing for printers since Vista, the changes they made then are part of why it took until 7 for things to work correctly.

Currently passing through the state of chaos.
