But then your organs just go to waste, rather than be used to save lives.

Neither of those are about organ donation. If you think that doctors aren't likely to do their level best to save your life and to act in your best interests, you surely have larger problems that you, being braindead at the time, havin

To oversimplify, it's running the Minecraft server software in a way that behaves like it's running on a specific server. But in the background, it's run on a set of Amazon services. You don't have to rent a specific ser

Do they say that you won't go over the prepaid amount? I can't see that in the pages that I've read, but maybe I missed it.

Having purchased an "in stock" SSD directly from WD at the end of last year, it's not something I'm keen to repeat. Their store seemed to operate primarily on incompetence. I finally got my invoice two weeks later, still

I assume they mean a more readable version of the content from the Twitter thread, rather than just the list. I could be wrong though. Twitter's readability is really hit and miss, depending on client and logged in or not etc.

>Is flexlm comprehensively cracked yet? Yes it is, and while I've not seen any evidence, I suspect that's partially why AutoDesk are changing their subscription model. As for dongles, you can pay to have them cloned. Claimed tu

I think you're being extremely generous by ascribing any ambiguity to it. Especially as there is context. That's not how I read it, I think almost everyone would read it as Rapptz did. Tone is difficult to gauge over the Interne

Some super interesting posts on the site[1][2], but the linked one seems to be more like a teaser announcement. Am I missing something? [1] https://linuxjedi.co.uk/2021/04/02/designing-the-amiga-2000-... [2]

With the Steam Deck coming out, running Linux in a high-profile gaming device with AMD graphics, hopefully it'll turn into a mild Linux GPU driver arms race. AMD and Valve are both working on improving Linux support for AMD hardware, G

Outlook, on the other hand, is a steaming heap of headache with bugs dating back years, and new ones added regularly. Seemingly at random, using wrong Exchange credentials for an account? Known issue since 2010. Hits one of my clients so of

Can someone ELI5? The Tweet and the "This will cause no issues" feels tongue-in-cheek and the gif suggests there will most likely be issues.

>Then why bother saying it? Because there's no indication from your post to suggest that you know more evidence that supports my position. Your post sounds like far more of a leap than it does if you've seen the other stuff.

My reading of it is, it makes signing up to 365 and XBGPU as frictionless as possible. If you're already identified and authenticated by the time you're presented with the options... If you force people to do it early in the proce

Not OP, but... Fingerprints, as far as most readers are concerned, aren't too difficult to duplicate sufficiently. You can obtain someone's fingerprints from photos, as the German defence minister found out years ago[1]. Also you

Do Microsoft care about piracy of Windows at the home level? It feels like they just want that sweet recurring Office 365 and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate revenue, and they'll effectively give you Windows to get it. Last I checked, you can

My usual procedure is make a restore USB drive using whatever tool supplied, or just clone it with TrueImage, in case something goes arwy. Then: "Disable secure boot, wipe SSD, reinstall Windows without connecting to the Internet"

Toshiba is the remaining option. I don't end up getting through many drives a year, but N300 and above are my go-to drives now for NAS, NVR etc.

Thanks for posting this. I had initially wondered how, if not through this process, you were supposed to fix minor stuff like comments and error messages. >I'm not saying cleanup is not important, in fact we have routinely cleanups
