  • Of course it's Nexon.

  • John and his writers are a treasure

  • I got a microwave with an inverter magnetron.

    When you set your microwave to, let's say, 20% power, a typical microwave will cycle the magnetron, so that it runs at 100% power for 20% of the cooking time and is off in between. With an inverter, the actual power output of the magnetron can vary, so it's actual 20% power for the whole time. It does an excellent job of gently reheating things like sandwiches and cooked rice without drying them out or scorching. Also, if something has instructions written for a lower wattage microwave, I can just turn the power down until it's close to that wattage instead of doing calculations to modify the time.

  • I wonder how they figure the 0.6% if those systems aren't sending telemetry via the internet. Is there an organization that does a hardware census or something?

  • At least on 10 it is relatively simple to disable Cortana and forget it exists. I can't believe Microsoft is trying to make Copilot key a thing.

  • The Silicon Masterclass

  • @.@

  • Was that your first time or had you been using edibles for a while before that? I'm just curious because 10 mg is a pretty huge dose if you didn't have prior experience with the stuff.

  • WordPress.org bans WP Engine, blocks it from accessing its resources

  • Fuck WordPress, but also it kinda sounds like WordPress is more in the right here.

  • It's not the scraping itself, but the purpose of the scraping, that can be problematic. There are good reasons for public sites to allow scraping.

  • I think you want complicit here rather than compliant.

  • You don't deserve down votes for this. Yes you're being a touch rude, but they also clearly didn't read more than the title! The OP was not an unreasonable amount of text. Your irritation is justified

    edit: I guess a lot of folks are getting hung up on the wording of the title. It was not that hard to understand that OP meant "without using it as a modifier" or "what a non-power-user would think its function is". Especially if you actually read the post.

  • Yeah I use it to open the start menu. I'm on windows 10 so I have my daily used programs pinned to the taskbar, my frequently used programs organized in sections of tiles on the start menu, and for everything else I either type to search for it in the start menu or just Win+R and use the run dialog if it's a system component.

    Likely moving to Linux when Windows 10 ends support. I've got enough experience with 11 to know I couldn't stand using it regularly

    Edit: and I didn't really talk about using it as a hotkey because of your OP, but for the record I use it like that all the time too. Win arrow for window sizing, win shift arrow for moving things between monitors, win R, E, L, D, win semicolon for the emoji keyboard, win number row to quickly launch taskbar pins, win tab for the lulz sometimes, win shift S for snipping tool when I don't need to use shareX instead for a local copy of the snip, etc.

  • They really decided to be annoying to the very end. Typical Kaspersky.

  • Uh?

    One of "various letters", was this a dramatic situation where he wrote one for if he succeeded and one for if he failed? The civilian witness seems pretty likely to be an immediate family member or roommate since they had access to open the box.

  • Walz was not more popular than 'capitalism', it was the other way around. But the fact that it was close is pretty cool.

  • If you simply destroy the sun before your shift is over, you won't experience this problem.

  • Pretty sure most of them think breaking the law (and getting away with it) is some sort of power move, or something to strive for. And they mostly expect to get away with it because of privilege or privilege-by-association.

  • One weird trick to get gun control laws Republicans don't want you to know!
