Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising ( www.techradar.com )

Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services? Then another advertisment was placed in the Start menu, and now Microsoft has finally worn my temper thin - with a new Game Pass ad coming to the...

Autodesk for myself, apparently its super dependant on .net and other windows framework so its not like they are going to make it linux compatible any time soon.

To be fair that comes in a bottle. It definitely tastes like a certain type of old fashioned, but there are so many ways to make an old fashioned that not everybody's going to like it.
Personally the bullet rye makes a good old fashioned in my book

Surely there's an inbred-11 fingers joke in here somewhere...

I read this to the tune of The Court of King Caractacus

What if they were to have a rule such as 'if a state vetoes a bill that has like 90+% support 3 consecutive times, then they will be unable to veto the bill the 4th time. That way if its obvious all the other people agree on something to hold that strong a majority its not indefinite.

You're thinking "Did he have 9 lives left or only 8?" Now to tell you the truth, I've forgotten myself in all this excitement. But being this is a . 44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow your head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself a question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

Oh man when i was young and go to play and explore with my Neopets, downloading things on limewire & chatting on msn messenger after dialling in to the 'internet' was magical.

I should check on my neopets, it's been... A while.

Yeah but then all the NPCs outside wouldnt have lara croft triangle titties

I use DDG but i do wonder what i dont see sometimes.
I often google a specific brand of components at work and even with the exact brand and/or part number in the search it sometimes doesnt turn up any results (say 5-7 random unrelated webpages) and thats it. Then i put the same search in google and bam, top result.

"what are they going to do, kill all of us?" - dead whistleblower

Well they did make chin-diapers fashionable during the whole 'i ain't complying with your public heath and safety mind control bullshit' during mask mandates.

There is no such thing as a free service.

People need to eat, bills need to be paid, shelter needs to be provided and unless people can have these at no expense and create things for pure passion & share for others to enjoy then they need the means to pay for these things.

The internet has whittled this down to a few basic models:

  • Pay the service directly for the content (subscriptions or 1 time purchases)
  • 'Free' content and they serve you ads which they are paid for by companies trying to sell something to you
  • 'Free' content and they sell every bit of data they can scrape from you to companies which are again, trying to sell something to you.

If you could find a way to do anything without having to pay for our human needs then would it be a trillion dollar idea or would money be meaningless now when people wouldnt need it to live & enjoy their lives?

Imagine if all it took was someone with a disease to stroll through congress one day and wipe out those past the best before date

Looks like something you can manipulate with a sheikah slate

"He's not all there" is the most basic version of this saying.

"He's got a few tools missing from the shed" is an aussie version too.

Not the sharpest crayon in the bunch?

This is not a typo right, 307Amps?!
What creative maths have they done to get this number?

The PCB tracks on the motherboard are what, about 0.5mm thick and about 2mm wide (for the larger channels)? I can absolutely guarantee you arent getting 300+ Amps through those tracks.

Update: Thanks for the replies, it makes sense when dealing with these extremely low voltages and TIL a lot. Cheers!

JackFrostNCola ,

Yeah imagine removing a rival that was only actually polling 6%, what a huge threat to your completely legitimate reign...

JackFrostNCola ,

You are building my case for me...
