  • What technology purchase felt like a major upgrade in your life?

  • The question is about purchases.

  • Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today

  • You may want to try Arch in a vm before daily driving it. It's an excellent distro, but vanilla Arch is a far cry from SteamOS.

    How do they kill us outside of spreading disease?

  • I just installed Mint to an external SSD this weekend to try and get my grandma to try it out. I really don't want her scared into thinking she needs to go out and waste a few hundred on a new laptop.

  • Couldn't the same thing be proven by simply aiming (slightly, I hope) upward?

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible

  • Hotmail was owned by Microsoft when I signed up in the late 90s. It's no surprise it's still around. It hasn't been my primary email for a long time, but I still use it as my MS account. So really it's just my Minecraft account.

  • I don't understand how this point keeps getting raised. It's no different from making an account on ANY platform. Sure, you can choose an instance, but if you're already browsing then the "create account" (or whatever it says) link takes you to a registration page just like any other.

  • TIL miniblinds with pull cords to raise and lower them are now illegal to sell in the United States

    Jump

  • I'd say those count. Edited my other comment

  • I didn't even realize they were called "mini"blinds until I moved in to my current place and there was some kind of rule that mentioned them. I'd only heard them referred to as "blinds" my entire life up to that point. This implies the existence of larger blinds which I've yet to see.

    Edit: I've definitely seen them. Apparently my brain is underclocked today.

  • Are you saying that they'd be in between 2 stationary panes of glass? That sounds like a nightmare to deal with anyway.

  • Is there a word for mangled idiom that becomes commonplace

  • They definitely should've put more thought into it before typing "internetism", but still no reason for an apology.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 needs 64GB of RAM for ideal performance — oddly, the game install size is only 30GB

    Jump

  • Oh, it's a game now? Back when I dabbled with it (early 2000s) it was a simulator as the name says. Flightgear is an open source simulator that, according to pilots, feels more realistic.

  • Is there any reason to choose MSFS over Flightgear other than simply being unaware of the latter's existence?

  • What comes to mind?

    Jump

  • I actually had to look it up as I couldn't remember why I made the first switch. PolyMC was forked from MultiMC after they dropped third-party modpack support. Then there was some drama with one of the devs of PolyMC, spawning Prism Launcher

  • What weird false belief did you have as a kid?
