I love buying books. I love books in general. And I prefer a physical copy. Sure, I’ve read e-books, listened to audiobooks, but nothing beats having a physical book in my hands. I don’t care about second hand value because I will either keep it or give it away.

Btw, your ideal subscription model is literally a library.

So the only mobile game I really play often is Mad Skills BMX 2 which has 0 dark patterns. Yay

That would be weirdly secure

I have had to contact the vmware enterprise support several times and while it was tedious to do so, they always managed to help us out, including when we had datastore locked vhd’s after a storage crash.

NewPipe stopped working for me some time ago, switched over to rvx which seems to work fine.

After 150 turns it’s only fun when you go to war a lot.

Those 'taters ain’t gonna count themselves!

He does a years worth of updates in like 3 or 4 weeks and then takes off for like 6 months. For me that’s acceptable. When he does get around to it, he pushes updates like the Flash on speed and fixes nearly all flagged issues in addition to adding new features that have been requested.

It’s stated in the synopsis, below where it says you need to pay for the article. Anyway, it might be true as the hosting servers themselves often host up to hundreds of Windows machines. But it really depends on what is measured and the method used, which we don’t know because who the hell has a statista account anyway.

Marginal? You must be joking. A vast amount of servers run on Windows Server. Where I work alone we have several hundred and many companies have a similar setup. Statista put the Windows Server OS market share over 70% in 2019. While I find it hard to believe it would be that high, it does clearly indicate it’s most certainly not a marginal percentage.

Feel free to start a competitive game store. There’s a reason why gog, origin or epic hardly make a dent on Valves bottom line.

To avoid getting coffee grind in it, we tend to use somewhat courser grinds when making mocha. Recently there was a study that adding a tiny splash of water prior to grinding unlocks the most flavour, so there’s that as well.

We are still not sure if it is better to slowly heat it from cold water or to just put it on the hottest and have it done faster. As I was typing this, I did a quick search and some guy on reddit even has the water boiling first, before assembling it. I suppose it doesn’t matter all that much, as long as the grind size is not too small.

That being said, I’m hardly an expert, but I do enjoy a good mocha coffee from time to time (I think I will have one now, actually).

Solution: dump it in the gardens of the local councilors.

I never had issues with Amazon support. To be fair, the last time I needed support was over 4 years ago, but still. I got to chat with some real person relatively quickly who managed to address the issue swiftly.

Who are you, the warp core police?

As a European, we’re just already assuming it will be Trump and will be pleasantly surprised if it is not that orange turd

“I cannot drink vodka, only a sith deals in Absolut” had me in stitches.

I don’t remember the exact details, but the dems only had effective control of congress for something like 10 days, due to technicalities.

Volkswagens EV platform is a mess because the CEO responsible for the pivot to EV within VW, was only allowed to implement it if he stopped being the CEO. So the next guy half assed the 80B$ pivot to EV, leading to VW being one of the worst performers amongst EV producing OEMs.

So now they are on the market to buy whatever is needed to get them out of the hot mess they created themselves.

I used to like mac OS when I used it on a macbook as a daily driver, years ago (haven’t owned a mac in a decade now). But recently I helped my mom set up a new macbook and I found it unwield.

I’m also with you on the Ubuntu and gnome front, although a buddy of mine swears with it. I just don’t like it. Not sure why, I have tried to work with Ubuntu + GNOME several times and I always end up switching to a different build.
