  I’m not sure that the paging even works correctly. I have one game that shows on every page for the first 12 pages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A day gone by⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Waking up to seeing posts like this. Then checking the admin app health status to see “we are monitoring the rollout of a patch and things are looking good,” makes me glad I was asleep for it.

  Also we are probably down at 359 by now.

  A bath is just person soup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sweet revenge⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably after a “recent” update. searching network locations used to work fine if the target machine had indexed it, but ms updated to a new search and I could never fix it after that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On the steam forums, there are over TWO THOUSAND PAGES of community questions about "disk write error".⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just wanted to point out that this search is for over a decade of questions. It might be a problem, but over 10 years you are likely to get a sizeable result for a lot of errors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea make sure you picked, the from image alpha option when creating the mask.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's going on with PHP?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But the outcome of the exploit is bad enough to outweigh the difficulty. Even if it’s hard rce is something you don’t what to leave open.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While that might be right in some cases, these just had really bad plastic coverings. I had an htc cable made with the same stuff. Without using it just sitting the drawer, it now is cracked all over and the cover is falling apart. Mechanical stress probably would make it break faster, but these cables also just sucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In gimp just right click the layer, choose add layer mask, then pick from layer’s alpha channel. You now have a mask layer you can paint on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some cool/decent PC games that are not on Steam?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought it on steam and it was worth the money for the game. If I was willing to pay what I did for it then I don’t have any issues with the costs elsewhere. There is also the convenience of it auto updating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some cool/decent PC games that are not on Steam?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It was a decent 4th installment. Still have it on steam, but not tried it on modern machines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve told people that it’s a percentage but they have a hard time understanding that and insisted on doing it from the serving size still.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it was only 1500 then I think it would have rounded to one calorie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it safe to connect a Windows XP machine to my wi-fi network?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would avoid giving it internet access. You could probably get away with network access, but id still mainly restrict it to a disconnected network and just download anything you need for it from a modern machine. (Probably a shared nas for transfer.) If you’ve got a good router (ie not a isp or home router) you could give it access to specific items on a whitelisting basis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Anon the asshole?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At this point machines that can run windows 7 and those that run windows 11 don’t overlap. So yea, would be annoying to install something that won’t run at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banksy works cost public almost £150,000⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  35k for trying to hide a small section of wall is crazy. I feel that someone is pocketing money there. Might have been cheaper for them to just charge entrance to see it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles…⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m guessing the cameras track your gaze, and they use that to decide what people are most interested in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the smartest non boss enemy in a video game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Presses F.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can't argue with his logic⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That just sounds noone should get baptised either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie Dev Says Game Refunded 55,000 Times Via Steam Loophole⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I spent less than a quid for a game that only took 15 minutes. I never considered that I needed to refund it. If it was fun, it was worth the money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox wanted 77M Game Pass subscribers by 2026 — today it has less than half that⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is really only a couple of games I decided would have been better as a buy. If you like to play a game for 2-3 weeks then move on it was good. You could also try stuff that didn’t have demos etc and decide if it was worth your time. After a year I’d seen most of the catalogue I was interested in and it was really only new releases that I kept it for, soon after I stopped it and now play my backlog.

  Although you needed the disk space and bandwidth to be able use it like that.

  I wouldn’t sign up again, but I got what I wanted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you imagine if video game prices were affected by the memory shortages?

  But is this not how switch1 games were, just read only sdcards with the game on them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA 6 Reveals $80 Price Tag And Ultimate Edition Bonuses⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  GTA 5 burned me on them, my 20 quid will still depend on reviews and if they are doing anything shitty at the time. I expect them to change the deal after the first 6 months at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No, you don't escape this one Microsoft!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s fine, you can always add a new @outlook.com address if you need to remove it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No, you don't escape this one Microsoft!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you ever get that personal or work or school prompt again. Login to the personal account, go into account settings and remove the work email. It will fix like 40% of login issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to New York City⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At that point it’s just a subscription product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SBA #119 maths⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well implicit multiplication would be done before the other operators anyway, but after exponents. Pemdas is incomplete.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Streaming didnt exist in 1970⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I almost forgot about the winamp video streams. I do still remember the 24/7 red Vs blue stream that was on it though!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ray is basic.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The species has existed for longer than Pleiades

  Now that blows my mind. I often think of astrological timescales to be so much longer than anything on earth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was on social media before web browsers existed. I am Legion.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like those platform ideas came initially from people who wanted to build something cool. Something people would use. The ads were a side effect of being part of the tech company.

  Now I feel they are built because it’s a way to show ads or harvest data.
