Yeah, I was disappointed to see the site come up looking one way then quickly re-render in another aesthetic.

I just completely ignore the My Documents toxic waste dump, and use a different place (with a shorter path) for files I actually care about. I might have created directory junctions to redirect one or two programs that hardcode their data

Seems the link stopped working. When I posted, it linked straight to the PDF (I even tested in an incognito window at the time).

Sorry, do you mean to say if I download untrusted code and open it in VSCode to inspect it, said code can pwn my system? (Forgive me if this question sounds uninformed, I haven't used VSCode much, but if true this would not be behavior

This may sound unexpected, but the Win32 API is still perfectly functional, and is probably your most solid foundation for any native development efforts you want to ensure continue to work long term. It's found a degree of support on

Windows used to be awesome at this. The norm (and expectation) was for programs to provide keyboard shortcuts for all sorts of things. They were gently surfaced right where you needed them - e.g. underlines on the menus, and accelerator k

Are they crying about their competitor training off their stuff, after having used the whole of the web to train their own stuff?

Thanks for the answer. Was there an email that went out or something? If I recall I didn't back on Kickstarter, but directly with the company. (Also is it ever going to leave Early Access? Are they asking for more money?)

What you said is not the case for all Steam games. KSP is one, several more are listed here: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_g...

The game has a 60% discount on Steam right now [1], but not on GoG [2]. Is the Steam version DRM-benign? e.g. Is it similar to Kerbal Space Program where you could just copy the folder out to another location (or a new PC) and play it wit

While we're talking space games, did Star Citizen ever get properly released? I crowdfunded it 10 years ago and am still waiting for delivery or access to play. Emailed them a few times in the interim and never got any response.

Last time I tried it (maybe 20 years ago?) there were fidelity issues (documents didn't display exactly identical to authentic Word), and some differences in minor features. I should probably give it another whirl, although I'm re

Office 2003 is my preferred pick for productivity, I use it for all new documents - and best of all there's no ribbon.
