Why the rude comment? I am more likely to be persuaded by your argument if you don't attach an insult to it.

Ah ok I see, yeah for the hackernews crowd probably not an issue. Genuine issue I have is my unbelievably well specced work laptop does not run win 11 nicely. It's not just the adverts. As for moving away from windows, I've been a

The average home user probably won't know what power shell and GitHub are. I can't run the scripts you are talking about on my work pc. I can sympathise with your point of view but it does feel a bit like "works for me becaus

The most shocking thing about HN is how polite and and reasonable the people on here are compared to the other places I visit on the web. Reasonable good faith debates are not normal on the internet! I guess we have the moderators to thank

Though, I think gog does better versions of some old games. For example I think their doom 3 includes the original not just there bfg edition. They really try to give you a patched "should just work on a windows pc" version.

Can anyone explain why my Samsung s95b oled TV film maker mode is so dark? I'm a parent with young kids and I just do not have time to delve into all the settings. I've managed to stop films looking like soap operas but I'm n

Lutris and when that fails, manually doing it myself. One big annoyance is that to browse community controller configs you need to change the name of the game to it's steam numeric id (which can be found in the URL for the equivalent g

Gog is great and I've been a member since probably 2010. The one feature that would encourage me to buy more of their games is a "install into steam" script with each game. It's a massive pain in the ass making my gog ga

And fixing it with a government monopoly doesn't sound like a good plan to me.

I should be clearer and provide references etc, I was refering to this: https://freespeechunion.org/labour-reported-me-for-racial-ha... The major part of this case is that without a jury trial he'd probably have had z

As a UK subject, with a government that has begun implementing the online safety act, prosecuting people for tweets that clearly weren't inciting violence and getting rid of jury trials for cases with fewer than five years sentences, I

I came here hoping to see some technical explanation of what this is. E.g.JavaScript emulation of PS2 version? Recompilation + wasm? Something else entirely?

To be fair, I did read that, but didn't state why I was sceptical: I've been playing UT since UT99, it's one of my favourite games. I wasted hours of my life in unreal ed 1. Anyway Epic removed UT from all online stores, I st

Then why are you reading these posts ;)

Surely epic will shut this down. The installer downloads a copy of the original game, well that is my reading of it.

But seeking out new civilizations etc is a noble cause, mining is dirty industrial space trucking types with an evil mega corp trying to make a buck out deadly aliens. Well that's my guess anyway!

It's a great device, I mainly use it for emulation. The fact that it's properly an open platform is amazing.

That would ensure that it is extremely unlikely we get innovation in insulin production as it removes the financial incentive to take the risk with innovation.

The power to charge what you want comes from lack of competition. Regulation can make entry into a market too high, especially for small start ups. Ensuring that regulation is necessary and as straight forward as possible to comply with is

And n64 cartridges and cases. And snes too I think. Another trick is to melt a plastic pen with a lighter and stick it on the screw and wait for it to cool.

In the last few years I think sentiment on hacker news has shifted from libertarian leaning to much mored left leaning. The same happened on Reddit a few years before. Anyway, just my gut feeling, nothing scientific.

I genuinely didn't think to use Google for this. I had no idea about the list of reasons. It wasn't passive aggressive, I was curious. Thanks for sharing this.

Yes on your last point, I feel exactly the same way. If anyone told me I was driving too fast and they were uncomfortable I'd immediately be apologetic and slow down, and I'd genuinely feel bad about it. As I get older I've r
