This is why I “acquire” games I already own on steam. Or buy first from GoG. I’m not paying twice for same game.

Also on motorbikes you are more stable at high speed so better to hit a dog at speed than slow down which could lead to person behind you hitting you or you crashing. Ok seems I was wrong.

I just bought it two weeks ago for 10$. Excellent game though. Well worth 2 coffees!

Yep. All the headless automation broke…

My company blocked ssh keys in favour of password + 2FA. Honestly I don’t mind the 2FA since we use yubikeys, but wouldn’t ssh key + 2FA be better?

Interesting point, I might start doing this. Challenge myself to find more inventive words to express myself.

I like your second point, I had never thought of it this way. It’s like when your parents call you by your full name. You know you are in trouble.

On steam people know they have an option to sail the high seas. But the same concern is there.

I’m tech literate and use the command line daily. I enjoy how powerful it is but I also enjoy the ease of point and click on windows.

After a hard day coding at work I much prefer poking around windows than using a command line on Linux.

Oh look at you with your fancy magnet!

Random mix and match. I’m all for diversity!

I thought this was a new hip smiley I didn’t know about until I read the article :)

Everything over a certain amount should be taxed 100%. Not everything. But also there should be a substantial house tax on mansions. And a higher house tax if you own more than one property.

Yeah. Same here. It’s amazing how many people feel entitled to things for free.

Who is paying for it so?

What annoys me about webcams is that they could have easily used the power line to the camera to light the LED. Then if the camera was on the light would be on.

But for some reason the LED is enabled separately from the camera, so it can be hacked through software that the camera is on but LED is off. Leading to a lot of paranoia. It’s just a non sensical design choice.

Inverter + install + testing. It’s deep in the car so a lot has to come out (I was told).

I know, but in the past the independent dealers didn’t have to deal directly with BMW for fixes. Now with all the authentication needed you can’t just get a replacement part from anywhere any more. Similar to how Apple locked down its batteries, BMW is doing the same.

I’m never buying a BMW again. I had an electric i3 which had an inverter (charger) failure. BMW wanted €12k to fix it. Thankfully an independent offered to do it for 4K. But BMW still wanted 3K just to plug it in and authenticate the new block. Nothing else, just “bless” it. Made the fix cost-prohibitive so we just had to scrap the car. The battery, which most people fear, was fine on this 8 year old car.

I bought the game. Then immediately pirated it so I wouldn’t have to install this EA crap.
