  May as well enjoy it while it lasts. Like Moviepass.

  RAM is active. It doesn’t hold the entire OS when in use even now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They didn’t have mice that far back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just keep typing, wage slaves⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, yeah, but they could have decided that the eventual fines would be cheaper than the emergency fixes and let it happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨science⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a slow and painful way to die. Or quick and painful if you accidently down in the alcohol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you work for a company owned by a A..hole⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is illegal most places. Might want to look into that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poop In A Box⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thing is, the movie started as a screenplay called Hardwired that had nothing to do with Asimov. They just slapped the name I, Robot onto it and changed a few character names because the studio had the IP and thought they’d get more sales that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is what it is⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Google wasn’t really explicit about that until the lawsuit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, this is what people did back then⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, wireless internet connected devices existed, though the wifi standard was still two years off and they definitely weren’t widely used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HAAAAAAAANNNNKKKK⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure that’s any better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bestbuy decided to use fucking **DOORDASH** to deliver my order, I couldn't cancel it. Today I was supposed to get it, and I saw the driver stealing the package after marking it as delivered.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s low as a percentage of total packages, but some areas are worse than others. For instance, in San Francisco it’s necessary to leave the trunk of your car open overnight so professional thieves don’t break your window to check it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bestbuy decided to use fucking **DOORDASH** to deliver my order, I couldn't cancel it. Today I was supposed to get it, and I saw the driver stealing the package after marking it as delivered.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of what they deliver isn’t worth stealing. If they continue trying to take over the high end courier business, though, I doubt they’ll last long.

  Because they’re using an inherently insecure delivery service for expensive electronics. Extremely clear case of negligence.

  If you don’t have a Micro Center nearby there’s really not a good choice. Just do Newegg or Amazon and hope for the best.

  The cops definitely won’t do anything, but the paperwork can be useful if Best Buy decides to be worse than usual about it.

  Tipping used to be discouraged in the US since it promoted class divisions. Then the civil war happened and there weren’t any slaves anymore and all of a sudden tipping is the greatest thing ever.

  You used to be able to require a signature which would force a direct hand-off, but people got annoyed with it. Then drivers started skipping those deliveries to get through their shift faster. So now only expensive courier services and the postal service still really do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm gonna mute this one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that just a weird perspective, or is that bench just an inch or two off the ground?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people hate drinking water?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know some people would kill for water that only might kill you, but when you have choices, you don’t choose the stuff that might make you sick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Protip:⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on where you live. In my city, sometimes shoes aren’t even enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Protip:⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the store has a rule for it, you would be trespassing without shoes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the theories behind this game’s price is Microsoft is trying to force more people onto the premium game pass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So if we assume the world is a magical place where poor people don’t exist, it makes perfect sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spaceballs 2 | Announcement⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, they’re finally making ‘The Quest for More Money.’ Too bad Disney kind of beat him to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blue Prince - Have you played it? How blown is your mind?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The idea of a puzzle rougelike is intriguing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kwah⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why is this the only French word brits insist on pronouncing the French way?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what is north?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems they forgot to mention it was on earth. They really should have indicated it was within the solar system too. No mention of being located in the Milky Way galaxy or the known universe either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what is north?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Could you enlighten me, then? How on earth does “north of Antarctica” modifiy or add to “the Weddell Sea” in any way, shape, or form?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Congratulations, homosexual!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are at least a few companies owned by people in that community.

  Any of the multinational conglomerates, though? Not a chance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are too young you really missed out being able to do this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically either would work, but may as well have the proper esthetics.
