  Sony is no longer putting single player games on Steam. Microslop is told to go exclusive. Yet somehow in a few years I bet Steam will be getting one hell of a back catalog ported to it. Again.

  You’re a better parent than the ones I have who would laugh at my learning experience as they tell me “welcome to the real world”

  I just checked. My LG washer and LG dryer both transmit ~30KB a day whether we use them or not. I do like being notified when they finish since they’re in the basement and my work desk is upstairs. I wouldn’t know otherwise.

  I prefer the Patreon model. Except I don’t even want Patreon perks. I want to give some projects money so they can keep doing exactly what they’re doing and provide it for free to other people.

  Ads are a sign of desperation, that anybody with an MP4 and a part of a penny can buy space in somebody else’s project. It’s a last ditch effort when they can no longer provide enough quality to be worthy of money. I will literally give you free money if you make a good thing.

  My parents were 911 dispatchers for decades. It’s how they met. They had 7 monitors last time I visited them at work 20 years ago. Their applications seemed to be built on the idea they had multiple monitors worth of space that they’d be stretched across.

  If I remember accurately, there were 2 computers (and thus 2 mice and 2 keyboards). The first computer had 5 monitors and was the Google Maps equivalent for where all the active ambulances in the city were. The main application stretched across multiple monitors and had sub-windows with different operations in them. I think it also managed the radio between dispatcher and ambulance. The second computer was dedicated to the phone, the caller, any history attached to the phone number, and all the data 911 gets about your location. It took up the remaining few monitors. By now it’s probably 1 computer and even more monitors.
