The current Windows Media Player is a bloated mess with unnecessary features. Not unlike iTunes. The original WMP was pretty good! But you really can no longer get anything like it. ETA: at least under active development. WMP Classic was

I am not a naturally picky eater. It has really helped in my world travels. The one thing I cannot deal with is Beets. Which is the only food my father hated.

Agree that the pro-legalization movement likes to claim "not addictive" but what they always have meant (which if pressed, they generally will acknowledge) is that it is not physically addictive. It is, of course, psychologicall

From folks I know in the audio biz, there is an element of status symbol to it. Or more generally Elitism. If there is much difference between the two, anyways.

It is funny to see this guy in the comments: > This sort of safety event will become more common as airlines hire based on equity, not skill. I meet these people frequently in tech. It is never the Rockstar engineers making this complai

Woah. I did not realize that either. It would be trivial to loose a bot on government TLD's and see who else is putting unencrypted PII in their viewstate.

That tool is double sided as well: 1. Don't report stolen property as income? Tax evasion. 2. Report stolen property as income? Proof of theft, readily shared to other TLA's

I don't know that I have quite the same issue with Chinese movies. Some have quite good production values, actually! Especially for the budgets. The challenge I have with Chinese films (especially high fantasy) is that it feels like

There is quite a lot of non-consensual kissing in those films. I recently watched "Live and let Die", and indeed it is in there. You do not have to look far. It is a common Bond method of seduction.

You had an FRS and just bought a BRZ. I have really wondered how fun they are to drive. They are super fun, right? They seem really fun and they look great. Also, Be honest: Initial D fan?

My uber driver a couple nights ago had a 2022 Hyundai Sonata. Rear facing cameras so his eyes did not have to go far when he wanted to change lanes (which he did a lot at 90+mph). I could see from the rear seat that his front passenger ti

Kodi is indeed overkill I find. As some have mentioned, point it to SMB share and be done. uPnP/DLNA sucks. What I liked much better than Kodi was WiiMC on the original Wii. It was similar in that you point at a SMB share and just g

Strongly agree. I would always fall asleep in class in college. Once I got into the workforce I would avoid this learning gap by creating side projects or taking extra work which was aimed at learning specific new things. If I sat through

Most dams do not have a fish ladder from what I have seen. I have fished every dam on the river I live on (in IL) for about a 60 mile stretch. There is 1 fish ladder I can think of. Every dam removal project gets fought tooth and nail by

Don't fear emotional or physical pain. Letting yourself experience it and accepting it as a normal part of life will help you be more present and enjoy the considerably more numerous good parts of life.

Insider threats are a thing. Never assume that because machines don't have internet access that you can be lax about such things. Source: A colleague of mine who deals with APT all day long.

Personally, I find the lack of cloud services to be relaxing. Because the thing always works that way, instead of occasionally melting down because some cloud service is having an outage and the failure mode is not well thought out.

I have been running Winamp 2.95 for coming up on 20 years now. So you would be correct on that count. Despite how powerful modern computers are, I still notice how much lighter 2.x is than 3.x.

This model of oncall (what I currently operate off) is less abusive than how DevOps teams were run at my last company. I would get called on days off, evenings, weekends. As late as 1am. I once brought my laptop to a Cubs game, because I

This perfectly captures how I use ADO wiki. I am considered to be super-together by my colleagues. I am confident if they have to pick up my work, they can data mine what they need from the few hundred pages I have produced to date.

I went to Windows.old, and copied out the all the executables in System32, as well as the locale folder (en-US for me). Pinned snippingtool.exe to start menu, and then uninstalled the W11 snipping tool. My snipping tool again works, and ex

Went through that with Win7 a few times. Eventually found a way to disable. In this case, the forced W11 upgrade was forced on me by my company via push.

Timely. I was recently force upgraded to Win11. Today in fact. Last week I force-downgraded after I got an exception because it is my busy time of year. That exception was not respected and I realized fighting it weekly would be the same

Some might argue that assassination and burglary have a victim where prostitution does not. There are arguments against prostitution as a victimless crime, but it is not straightforward in any argument to demonstrate victim and perpetrator

At a place I used to work, there was a lady who would prank folks. She was not very technical. Those folks came to me with a request for some sort of Net Send revenge. I wrote a VB script which ran in a loop, which randomly 8-10 times a da

"Western" is a messy and relative concept. I can see how you could make an argument that Japan is a "Western" nation in some sense. They are technically a First World country, which is usually used as shorthand for Wes

While shady on Facebook's part, it does match the general shadiness of Facebook ads. It is legit hard to find ads which are not a scam in some way.

You may mistake my post for suggesting Nessie doesn't exist. All I am getting at is, if there's a large animal the size of a whale migrating down to the loch, over a few hundred migrations since the weir was built, someone probab
