Many of us also lived through the era where any 13 year old could steal Mommy’s credit card and rent a botnet for that ezpz

My MC server a decade ago was tiny and it still happened every few months when we banned some butthurt kid

So many people go boomer argument mode over this because they don’t like change, but their anger is clearly misplaced. The 3.5mm is not the king of audio connectors and never was, it’s death could very easily have been a good thing.

Why the fuck didn’t headphone makers start offering USB-C devices once phones pulled this move? My PC mobo from 2017 has a C port that could be used for this, I’m certain computers could have easily adapted (and they’re the way smaller market anyway). Is it just because apple had to be special with their lightning bullshit? If so, they’d better start it up now!

Instead of being able to buy new cans with the wire that my phone uses I have to snag an adapter. Not a BIG deal but this change is over 5 fucking years old, we should have these devices as the norm now to avoid all of the fucking issues we’re currently looking at

Until I upgraded to Linux Mint recently I actually DID use a Soundblaster card (modern one from 2018) to drive my super nice headphones and speakers

Too bad mint weirdly hated it despite recognizing it, but the new speakers have a fine DAC so…

In Photoshop paint, it’s a single tool.

I think the real reason so many people hate GIMPs flow is that it doesn’t match the free paint tool that comes with every Microsoft OS since before I was born.

This would help explain why people who have never used PS even 10 years ago would regularly bounce off GIMP for making no intuitive sense

And you don’t see how your comment is one of many reasons crypto isn’t the future of money?

down voted by people who think any Kraft ceese is real cheese?

It is, you’re just using the FDAs god-awful definition from over 100 years ago that only cheese made in the specific traditional way is “cheese”

Kraft singles are American cheese: typically a cheddar and Colby jack mix with 2 specific chemicals added to allow water to stay in the mixture better. Boil them together, spread thinly and let harden.

Kraft singles have more chemicals and a more complex process so they can get as thin as they do, but they’re cheese by any normal person’s definition.

here’s a great video by NileBlue on the subject

Everyone forgets PEACE WALKER

WE could have done with an “other” option, I first tried Linux when my laptop failed and my friend installed Ubuntu to fucking troll me

I mean I guess that’s “friends/family showed me” but a very different connotation lol

You can also just look at your “recent apps” under settings, if a notification popped off in the last 30s and you didn’t see a window then it’ll almost certainly be the top app in “most recent”

It’s a glitch / purposeful design in some apps where the actual popup window isn’t set to actually stick around so it just makes a ghost noise. For me it was some random app I installed for one niche purpose and forgot about

I love that effect, but sometimes it can fail. For example:

Our familiarity with lineage will…

Is how my stupid ass brain read it first and I knew what was up

Man, I’m so glad my ADHD kicks in the other way with this

The only time I let myself get over 3/4 tabs is when I’m searching for an answer in documentation or downloading game mods or similar, middle-click a whole shitton of pages then go through them, but always close them when I’m done with them because otherwise how will I find anything?

My bookmarks are organized, but also contain links to pages that died 10 years ago so maybe I should clean that

1+ (7 * 7 * 7 * 7) = 2,402

+1 doe 2,403 for anyone who wants to count the teller of the story

Vice City was the same size, Im pretty sure LC was as well, they’re just edited versions

Dude was afraid of basically everyone that wasn’t Northeastern White, his life history makes it sorta understandable, he barely liked being around people at all it seems

No, Pilk is 1/2 milk, 1/2 Pepsi you uncultured swine

Clearly edited pic cuz the objective marker is in proper New Vegas puke yellow but the rest is green

Gosh, can’t even fake a screenshot convincingly these days

This is why lane splitting and filtering exist and need to be legal. Reduces the amount of rear-ending INTO bikes

Googled it real quick and it’s from the French Burd, meaning noblewoman

So… No?

Took way too long for me to remember that they did more than make thermostats when reading your comment.

Like, I know they do, but I pass my Honeywell thermostat multiple times daily so my brain immediately got confused as to why an IT team needed to regularly buy thermostats to the point a salesman was involved.

Ok, fair, but you’re missing the blatantly obvious here:

Even if at 20 years you suddenly drop dead of vaper’s lung, those first 19.99 years were significantly less unhealthy than smoking cigarettes was.

So, the longer we go without seeing long-term issues, the more extreme those issues would need to be to actually outweigh cigarette danger.
