  • What's the worst game you've ever had the misfortune of playing?

    Jump

  • I bought Sonic 2006 when it came out. It was my first experience with a truly terrible, broken game. I'd played things that weren't up my alley or were subpar somehow, but that was the first time I was truly blown away by how bad a game could be.

  • Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch

    Jump

  • You can also set a group policy to allow no updates at all except when you approve and download them manually.

    Ridiculous that you need the group policy manager for the basic setting of "don't put shit on my PC without asking," but here we are.

  • Micron addresses Crucial exit backlash: 'We are trying to help consumers around the world' — company warns that DRAM drought could last until at least 2028

  • I was thinking irradiate them and give them guns, but your idea works too.

  • Cherishing all nuggets of knowledge.

  • I dunno, but it's a pain. Hiding low-level components from the user to make it more user-friendly.

    I have an old 2014 macbook with a busted GPU temp sensor. The Mac firmware assumes the worst - that the computer is dangerously overheated - and therefore throttles back the CPU by 80% and runs the fans at full blast.

    Fixing it on Mac required a number of third-party tools and flashing a custom firmware. I then installed Linux on the device - about ten lines of script that read from the working temp sensor on the CPU die and write a scaled value to /sys/ in response.

    So much flippin easier on Linux.

  • Verizon is down, with many users seeing 'SOS' – here's everything we know about this outage

    Jump

  • The third line of a haiku is traditionally meant to show a turn or a surprise element, so this is a fine haiku indeed.

  • Trump is making China – not America – great again, global survey suggests

    Jump

  • America might once have cared to defend Taiwan, because the whole tech economy is powered by their chips. But the U.S. is so diminished, overextended, and chaotic that China clearly recognizes an opening.

    I think Xi makes a move within the next two years.

  • Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts

    Jump

  • I mean, Neal Stephenson coined the term "metaverse" to reference a virtual world not limited to gaming but to all kinds of business and commerce and social interactions.

    Zuck's concept for the metaverse was basically the same thing. I'd be surprised if the connection wasn't intentional.

  • Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts

    Jump

  • I've always appreciated that they stole the name from Snow Crash. Like Zuck completely unironically named his company after a technological dystopian hellscape infected with a virus that destroys people's brains. Honestly, I don't think there's a better name for Facebook.

  • Valheim player keeps building Dollar Generals despite friend begging them to stop: 'I do not want to play Valheim with Greg anymore'

    Jump

  • This is true, but Dollar General also tends to move in after the economy is already hollowed out. You used to have vast distribution networks of local merchants and independent businesses. Now everything flows up to the Waltons and Bezos and Dollar General licks up the scraps.

  • UK police blame Microsoft Copilot for intelligence mistake

  • U.S. law enforcement is out of control with this animorphs shit.

  • Newsom Vows to Stop Proposed Billionaire Tax in California

    Jump

  • And like they didn't leave Massachusetts after its millionaire tax was imposed.

  • so true

  • I don't know that the real Ken M is active anymore. But yeah, the imitators have never gotten his tone right.

  • Texas A&M is banning Plato, citing his “gender ideology.”

    Jump

  • I already despised Texas A&M for ruining the jalapeño pepper. Now we get further dumbassery.

  • This is Jehan Pages, the top developer behind GIMP, a free open source photo editor. Adobe executives hate Jehan. Because of his hard work, Adobe lost millions of dollars

    Jump

  • There are probably some people who decided to use GIMP instead of Photoshop, some people who simply pirated Photoshop, and some people who bought Photoshop anyway.

    It's difficult to quantify the degree to which the existence of GIMP caused lost sales for Adobe. I started using GIMP instead of a high-seas Photoshop version, so I still haven't spent a dime!

  • Funny Chess Puzzle ! White to win.

  • I bet it's even faster if you reduce the weight by combining it with the deckhand obliterator!

  • My feel-good news headline every morning!

  • Trump declares himself president of Venezuela — and sends 'wake-up call' to world

    Jump

  • Yep, this is pretty true to form for U.S. intervention in Latin America. It just used to be done covertly by the CIA instead of plastered all over Twitter.

    And an obligatory fuck Henry Kissinger.
