They still call PlayStation homebrew enablers ‘HEN’ :)

Oh man! That hot swap method! I remember my computer, running Linux (which freaked 14 year old me out) from a live cd, case open, and plugging in the hdd while the Xbox and pc was on.

I felt like a warlock when I could rip my games after that.

Great memories.

And my mate at school saying there is no such thing as a soft mod! Haha

Tears of the Kingdom leaked a week or so early from the cart, full game.

Probably due to day-1 patch :( so the disc is ‘out of date’.

When I switched from Intel Mac to the M2, I was easily able to get my Linus and windows VMs running again.

As well as my intel apps. Was pretty smooth and the speed and power efficiency gains are obvious. My mac book air draws about 5w total while the DAW is cool as a cucumber.

This resonates with me. My computers used to crash at the app level, OS level or hardware level.

Now when something goes wrong the system just kinda gets lazy and stops working. But it won’t crash.

I’ve had my mac pinwheel on the login screen. I can still access the shell and file shares remotely, and even screen share to a logged in user.

But login.app refuses to crash so it’ll just pinwheel.

I’m glad I never forgot to turn things off and on for troubleshooting :(

Don’t forget to add the shift key to scroll backward through the apps or windows.

What?

Autosave also has versioning. You can always go back through the auto save history. You can also revert to the original opened file. This is done from the file menu.

Also, if like a good mac user you have Time Machine configured and on, you can browse your versions further into the past.

Heavy iWork user, I don’t know about Xcode though.

> Over 50% of social science studies do replicate

There is some tasteful irony here. Could you link to a study on this claim? And ideally a few other studies that support its claim? Thank you.

Thanks yes I think I remember my whole semiconductor education to be wishy washy (according to the lecturer) even at the undergrad level. Pretty complicated stuff and I think the ‘band gap’ model is a bit of a stretch of the quantum mechanics that is occurring.

I would agree. Having said that I still think it was a bit wishy washy. The whole treatment of band gap energies I think is quite complicated beyond the simple diagram shown.

The problem with Ads on the web has ALWAYS been malicious actors. It will ALWAYS be malicious actors. This is not a technical problem but a problem with the whole concept that is structurally inseparable.

Hmmm

I love the dedication to the vintage OS. Is that a hackintosh?

Not uncommon in video games (like hold left trigger to open menu, use right stick to select and then let go of left trigger to select).

Also seen it in fusion360 (cad software), maybe blender and also a few other dsp/electronic design software. I love it!

Because possibly they are aware that their shops need the goods for them to stay operational. They may also realise there are other areas of the business they can squeeze. They may realise that having a few missed shipments costs a lot more than the wages saved.
