That's the speculated reason why Microsoft had to skip Windows 9: because in the late 90s, software were checking for «starts with "Windows 9"» to identify Windows 95 and 98... and some of those checks still exist and would h

It's worth noting that those 4.5 billions had a value of 75 millions or so when they were stolen. It's also worth noting the "heist" happened in 2016, so before that talk.

What baffles my mind is that retina densities are so much better for CJK languages, and yet, we don't see more retina densities in those markets. They must like the pixel blobs for characters with large number of strokes... /s

My favorite racing game ever is Wipeout 2097 on the PlayStation. Needless to say, it didn't run at more than 30fps (in fact, since I was in France, it was probably even 25fps). Gran Turismo on the PlayStation 2 was also fine at 25&#x2F
