The card “Cleanse” was banned for being “culturally insensitive”…

IIRC, it was Yu-Gi-Oh! players that were infamous for weaponizing their smell to distract their opponents.

My local store just smells like cardboard, ink, and paint, even during the MtG tournaments.

I run a GTX 980 Ti; Maxwell architecture is still supported for three years. Older than that: Kepler support ended last year and Fermi support ended in 2023, and they won’t play nice with kernels released since then.

My Motorola has this by default, buried in Settings > Security > More security settings > Network protection.

Good thing many huskies have the colored and not totally dark eyes; they give you at least some clue of the current craziness level.

AFAIK, you need to use seperate drives and install the OSes in such a way that each drive has its own EFI partition. (Installing with the other drive disconnected is the easy way.) Then only use your UEFI boot selection menu to choose which drive to boot from.

Big tech scandal, political scandal, policing scandal… 95% of them end the same way.

“We investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong.”

Aww! We have the adult version; normally well-behaved but still has mischievous outbursts. Not happy that Dad went to bed while Mom is still out working? Time to seek and destroy the parmesan cheese shaker! 😂

It is highly unlikely you will be able to hear a difference.

If you have golden ears or are just that worried, why not use a lossless codec like flac?

I had a boomer drop off a laptop after Win7 got updated to 8. Post-it note read: “I’m used to Windows with the “e”. Is Windows even on here?”

Use Reader View in Firefox. I never accepted the cookies. 😉

Phonetically, 'za should be short for lasagne, and 'sa for pizza… or people can just say the damn words.

Whatever, I guess. Peeps gon’ slang slang, for real, for real. 🤦‍♂️

Blue Man Group: The Complex Rock Tour (favorite track: Rods and Cones)

Of course companies wanted people to share the free demo versions but some full games did have annoying protection schemes in the '80s. Obfuscated data and purposely “bad” sectors on floppy; cardboard decoder wheels; asking for word #x from line #y of page #z of the game’s manual, or, similarly, a page of codes printed in black ink on dark maroon paper to prevent photocopying… leading to folks distributing cracked versions and the cracking tools themselves!

To be fair, it was a pretty ridiculous time. Computer club meetings just turned into floppy-copy-fests.

I got to meet Legaia’s creator Hidenori Shibao. He also created Lennus (“Paladin’s Quest” that I enjoyed on SNES in my youth) and its sequel.

The company that made my TV is engaged in copyright infringement, you say? Transmitting copyrighted images over the Internet for profit?

Huh.

You have packages held.
