Or they do switch but for like 1 day and then go back to messaging you on WhatsApp. I tried switching to signal at least a couple times, even convinced a couple groups to move, but not a single chat lasted more than a couple weeks. Eventually they all went back to WhatsApp. Every single one. It’s extremely difficult to get people to care.

Which part broke exactly? Because I can confirm the one on my tablet, which I installed a long time ago, still works. Haven’t installed it on my current phone which I got not too long ago, so I’m wondering if it’s gonna be a problem.

I still use rif. You can get the app as an apk, and patch it to replace the original API key with your own using something like vanced. I already had my key from before the debacle, not sure how you get one these days. Anyway, it did give me some trouble while logging in, but eventually it worked.

It wasn’t based on the book at all. The book itself is a compilation of short stories, but the movie’s script wasn’t based on any of those. It was originally written as an original action script that had nothing to do with anything Asimov. The studio that agreed to produce it made the writers rename it to “I, Robot” and insert a bunch of Asimov sounding shit in there, like the 3 laws and some character names.

I have node named pve too. Small world.

Well I drive a heavily touch-screenified car, and I hate it. Have had the damn thing for almost a year but I still get nervous when I have to adjust the A/C.

They won’t stop until even the pedals are touch buttons, are they?

That is woke. Banned.

You can have devices on your wifi network without giving them access to the internet. You set your firewall (which, for most people, is the router that comes with the internet subscription) to block all internet traffic to and from those devices while still allowing them to communicate with the other devices on the same local network. Fairly straightforward on most routers with a little bit of time spent looking up the basics.

I genuinely don’t see the problem with those. Amber lights on the left side of the car light up, that can only mean one thing. There is no ambiguity there whether they’re playing snake or just flashing. I have never, on no occasion, found myself confused by those.

The only part of physx in that game that I remember is that it used to cause massive performance and stability issues.

Twice, because usually it’s two sticks.

In any case, RAM failure is rare enough that quadrupling its chances is not gonna make any meaningful difference. Even if it does, RAM is the easiest thing to replace in a PC. Don’t even need to go offline while waiting for a new stick. Someone who’s got the cash to build that thing in the first place won’t be too upset by the cost of another 32gb stick either, I don’t think.

This concept isn’t new either. Factories have been using very similar methods to use the heat of the exhaust gasses to power the sensors and whatnot on top of their smoke stacks for some time now, for example.

It’s a translator. Takes commands that are meant for windows to understand, and translates them into something Linux can work with. If the program requires the services of the kernel, for instance, it makes its system call as usual but the call gets converted to a command for the Linux kernel. At the end of the day it’s the Linux kernel doing the work that was aimed at the windows kernel, and there is no windows kernel anywhere at all. That’s unlike an emulator where you’d be running the windows kernel inside your Linux environment.

Wine also creates a windows-looking file structure so that programs can find the stuff they’re looking for where they expect them to be. Like, it creates a “program files” directory somewhere in your filesystem and tells the windows applications to look there if they need to. There’s more to it, but you get the gist I hope.

In a way, wine extends your Linux environment to support windows stuff. Whereas an emulator would create a new windows environment entirely. The goal is not to trick software into thinking it’s on a windows machine, it’s to make it work on Linux. The difference there is that by making it work on Linux you can make it work together and share resources with the rest of the system instead of remaining isolated in its own emulated environment.

Have you tried peppermint or maybe coriander?

Jokes aside, I believe the password entry stage is before any sort of localization happens, meaning what your keyboard looks like doesn’t matter and the input language defaults to English. You have to type as if you’re using an English keyboard. That’s hardly a good solution if you’re unfamiliar with that layout of course.

At least with that 6gb you get the nice, streamlined, intuitive and responsive user experience that we all know and love Atlassian for.

Don’t know about toggles, but those profiles were officially marked as bots made by meta. They didn’t try to hide that fact.

Which makes it even weirder imo. At least with a secret AI profile you can tell they are trying to achieve something, shady as it might be. But what is the purpose of a Facebook profile that announces itself as a chat bot that’s role playing as a queer black mother, I have no fucking clue.

I’d say the anti-cheat has only recently become the “only issue”. It’s not like wine and proton could run everything flawlessly before kernel level stuff came along. The translation was imperfect and incomplete, so shit simply did not work. Lots of hard work on those projects slowly but surely filled in the gaps, and now we are finally at a stage where we can say that if a game doesn’t work it’s by design.

IIRC that was just a poorly worded statement from a rather unimportant ms employee who really wanted to say “it’s the latest version of Windows”.

Funny, that’s one of the things I dislike the most about macos. I think the keyboard shortcuts there are generally noticeably less comfortable than windows and Linux. It’s not even just shortcuts, regular keybindings are also worse on macos IMO. I will never understand why the enter key still renames a file/directory instead of opening it.
