So?

07-26, surely?

When was this, exactly?

I’m amazed there’s anyone out there who hasn’t heard of Jim Fucking Sterling, Son

I ran 7 on a Dell netbook for a few years, and it worked great (though, naturally, not as great as XP)

Because mice are a solved problem. New phones can ostensibly have new features, better cameras, better displays, etc. Similarly, new cards and CPUs can give you measurably better performance.

A new mouse is something you get when your old mouse is broken, and if that’s happening every year, then there’s a big problem.

Made by the same team as the Pro Pinball games, which is why it’s so darned good.

Off the top of my head:

• The entire Pro Pinball series
• Yoku’s Island Express
• Creature in the Well
• Pinball FX3
• 3D Ultra Pinball: The Lost Continent
• Metroid Prime Pinball
• Epic Pinball
• Addiction Pinball

The MD game you’re thinking of is likely to be Psycho Pinball.

I have to question in what world one would need “the latest mouse” every year. The only reason is if Logitech makes such a crap mouse that it starts to fall apart, thus necessitating a new one.

The only other avenue is that the mouse just gets more and more bloated with additional “features” year-on-year.

The principle isn’t the worst, but the implications are less than ideal

The CEO of a corporation should be the living embodiment of that corp. Kind of like Subway in Community

Unless you’re using a non-Chromium browser, that is.

I pay for it because I thought it was a trustworthy service that had earnt my money. Instead, if they continue with stuff like this then I’ll go back to not trusting subscription services again.

This and the new LLM “feature” in ProtonMail suggests that someone higher up has had a sniff of the techbro kool-aid.

I’m not sure the NES was affordable per se. On release, it cost about $500 in today’s money. And then you had to buy games at extra cost. In a world where you could go to an arcade with your pocket money and have a decent amount of fun, I don’t think it was a great value proposition in the eyes of many.

This was before proactive remediations were a thing. Script probably would’ve worked, although I find them a bit vague as to how they work

It’s a very old meme… and not especially applicable here

There have been two distinct Windows updates in recent memory that have broken things.

1. The one that stopped network printers from working, and you had to change a specific GPO setting which was not available in Intune at the time, meaning I had to do it manually on each computer.

2. The one that removed all shortcuts to Office 365 apps from the desktop and start menu, necessitating a repair… manually on each affected machine.

So it does happen on occasion. It’s not as bad as in the XP days, but it still can be a little sketchy at times

Not really, I just think it’s the best controller. Ergonomic shape, octagonal stick gate (which is a criminally underused feature), good button layout… the only thing wrong with it is that the analogue triggers have a bit too much travel on them.

I’m a big fan of the 8bitdo Ultimate C, but my favourite may well be the GameCube controller
