I remember playing GTA I with a 3DFX card. Man that was smooth. When I later played at a friends house, I was disappointed about how choppy it was.

I hope so. The other books have been great fun to read, with the detour of CP-SYSTEM as a nice surprise.

I started using the Berluti knot last year, and it has never failed me. It takes a bit longer to tie, but it has never failed me. It is also easy to get undone without making another knot out of itself. The Secure variant seems to be a slig

https://torh.net I have a plan of making it a "proper" webpage with more sub-pages for hobbies and such. But right now its a 90's style page with some info and a lot of links.

I read this as an ownership issue, where Meta owns your content as long as you post on Facebook or Instagram, and has nothing to do with LLMs.

I have a Roborock S5, and when I don't use the mop, I just remove the mop AND the water tank. And without the water tank it never gets stuck in doors.

I quit my 50% discount after realizing that if I don't watch it anyways. Funny thing though. When I cancelled my subscription, they offered me 50% off for a month or something like that.

Still have the original Xbox, working like a charm. Not sure which version of XBMC it has, but the internal disk is full of old series and movies. Still has a share on my computer mapped up, but the original Xbox can't keep up with the

Or from the Seinfeld episode "The Pool Guy" (Aired November 1995) which had a fictional movie called "Chunnel" -- probably based on the very same channel tunnel.

If I had to make a list of global brands, Trump would not make it. I do not think about it as a brand. And when I hear the name I get a bad feeling.

I bought a Philips many years ago, and it was perfect until an update suddenly gave me a lot of crap (ads) on the home screen. Ironically they also provided a button where I could "adjust what you see on the home screen", but it t

Norwegian here. While I do not have an electic car myself (yet), I would more or less agree that roughly half of the cars I see on the road (in my area) are electric. There are a lot of Teslas (easy to spot), but also cars like Volkswagen G

Wonder how long Windows 7 will last for him. I have Windows 8.1 at home (not my daily driver, for that I use Linux), and Google Chrome is no longer updated. Nor is much else. But it works for my tasks, which is Lightroom (the last one that

1) Haven't really checked, but... 2) I have a fixed IPv4 address, and a dynamic IPv6. So far the latter also seems to be fairly stable, and I host my webpages on both IPv4 and IPv6 these days. My server is a ThinkPad X240 with VMware E

I like the extensive way Antirez has commented the data structures (and the rest of the codebase), something that was missing in the ptext code.

I recently installed KDE and I'm surprised how good it is. It's miles ahead of both Windows and Gnome. I mean, it's crazy good. Like the small things: when I plug my laptop into the docking, the various applications are moved

With "quality of life" I mean that I don't feel like I have to protect myself from my peers. Kids growing up poor still get an education. Kids (mostly) have access to some sort of activity keeping them out of trouble. It&#x27

When I see the benefit the society gets here in Norway, I have no problem paying my taxes. Money well spent. Better education and health care for my neighbors brings my quality of life up as well. But then again, maybe I live in a naive bub

Thanks. I did search myself and found the same results. But as I wrote, it worked when I came to Ubuntu and I gave it a shot. But I feel it's time to try Fedora now. :-)

The only reason I have Ubuntu right now is that I was never able to get DisplayLink drivers to work on anything else. Not that I tried that hard, I tested SuSE and then Ubuntu... and stopped since, well, it kind of just worked. I'm not
