- Comment on Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio 1 week ago:
Fortunately, it seems Game Pass subscribers have pretty much stalled out since 2021. There’s been no significant ride in subscribers since then.
- Comment on Turn up the heat 4 weeks ago:
Because everyone has a different core temperature. So it really can’t be set value like 100°F.
Generally speaking, a fever of 100°F is “fine”, albeit completely exhausting and not at all fun, but it’s good for helping the body to fight infections.
Fevers higher than 102°F are when you need to start working on bringing that fever down. If it climbs higher than that, you risk brain injury. The proteins in your body will also start to denature (lose their ability to function) as your temperature climbs, including proteins that work within your brain and your nervous system.
If it continues to climb or won’t go down even after taking medicine, you need to call your doctor or go to the hospital.

Anyone know of a TamperMonkey addon to get the old YouTube UI back? Need to bookmark it for whenever YouTube makes the change on my account.

- Comment on Windows users don't want copilot on their taskbar 1 month ago:
Asking stuff like that is always a good idea, IMO. It could be the difference between a successful Linux install and a very expensive paperweight.
… Don’t ask me how to install it, though. I’ve only tried Ubuntu as a dual-boot, and that was several years ago.

Yeah, what happened with GitHub?

Guess so. It was a 50/50 chance, and I chose the wrong 50.

ah the art of copy paste coding
- Comment on Weather app asking for permission to manage calls 4 months ago:
Sort of. I don’t remember the specifics, but it used to be that some apps completely unrelated to phone calls had to request access to make phone calls because of some stuff they needed that Google only allowed them access to if they had the phone call permission.
I believe Google has since changed it so most of that stuff is now a separate permission not related to phone calls, so you don’t see it as often now. It can still happen with older apps, though.

Neither can the average American mind, to be honest. I’ve never seen a toilet full enough to do that.

They don’t. Not typically, anyway. A private university may have a list of donors and a Board of Trustees, but the two aren’t related.

No, it shows me which files aren’t complete. It’s a tiny bit of the final episode and a .sfv file that was supposed to check for file integrity.

- Comment on Can't play an EA game via geforce now 4 months ago:
Not OP, but I typically only pirate games if they’re unavailable for purchase in a more legal way. Like PS2 games, for example.
Most of the modern games I buy these days are from developers I genuinely want to support and see more from, like Atlus or Vanillaware.

- Comment on Touchscreen smartphones aren't even fun or novel anymore, they're just necessities for daily life 5 months ago:
Electric Vehicles look like they will but still pretty expensive.
Expensive and impractical at the moment due to the lack of charging stations.
My vote is home automation stuff
I kinda hope not. I don’t need even more devices listening in on me.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
“Sounds like I left the fridge open.”
Seriously, I can hear that beep anywhere in the house.

- remote preheat for the oven (ready to pop the frozen pizza in right when I walk in the door)
Most ovens these days have a sort of time delay feature so you can set it to turn on X hours from now. Though I will admit it’s more convenient not to have to estimate what time you’re gonna be home at. Still, there are definitely alternatives to using an internet-connected over.
- cycle end notification for the washer (when I’m in the basement I can’t hear the sound to know when to move the clothes to the dryer)
I already know my washing machine takes almost exactly 30 minutes to finish after I turn on the water. I just set a timer on my phone for that amount of time.

Jimmy Wales actually isn’t as directly involved in Wikipedia as he once was. These days, he only holds the chair emeritus and the founder’s seat on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees.
His chair position changed to a chair emeritus in 2006, and the site implemented the unified login feature in May 2008, though they’d been discussing implementing the feature since 2005.
