It seemed popular at the time MS was pushing “Windows is a touch screen OS” phase, before remembering that there are pretty much no Windows apps that are useful with touchscreen, and the only reason they are relevant is 30 years of vital old software that businesses can’t throw away.

I think the niche it tried to open was as a drawing tablet, basically being a built in Wacom, but an iPad and Procreate do that job so much better.

We need to write a sawng about how we don’t diddle kids.

I mean it doesn’t even matter that it is. It’s not a secret who the money is going to.

The important part is that it can’t be reversed by a banking authority.

The “they catch fire” argument is fucking bonkers anyway.

If there’s one thing petrol cars are famous for, it’s being filled with flammable liquids that can and do leak everywhere and combust upon collision.

You can ignore them. Same with all the disingenuous cunts who complain about wind turbines “spoiling the view” who ignore the coal and gas power stations that have littered the skyline for over a century.

Well fancy that.

Went to a clothes shop in Tenerife.

Unable to speak the lingo, the missus picked up a pair of jeans off a shelf.

“Are these for men or women, I can’t tell?”

I put my hand in the pocket. It stopped about 2cm in.

“These are women’s jeans”

Meanwhile, I can fit a full size Nintendo Switch in my cargo shorts pocket.

Isn’t this part of the plot of the later seasons of Silicon Valley?

Two bits of security software.

Makes me wonder if there’s been a concerted effort to hack these accounts, and some automated security process has locked them out.

I think Fantasy World is the best one, if only for the memories of my mate being grounded for calling the 0898 number for the solution to some of the puzzles.

It’s a .webp file for me.

Chances are the program you’re using supports all this crap, and ignores the extension anyway, because far too many people just rename files to “convert” them.

Only real way to be sure is to open it with a hex editor. The first few bytes will tell you what a file type really is.

Imagine being the furthest people away from Donald Trump.

Sure, there are those kind of users, but have you tried Linux at all?

Remember when we armed “Syrian Rebels” and then a few years later had to go and fight a suspiciously well armed ISIS?

It’s a neat idea, but I suspect there are just so many variables it will be as accurate as taking your temperature by sticking your finger up your arse and guessing…

Most savvy PC gamers will have a pretty good idea how well a given game will run on their rig already. If the game is old it’ll run well (providing it doesn’t crash due to oddities in really old games), and as long as it’s more powerful than a PS5 there should be at least some combination of settings that will let you run any new title.

TL;DR:

Welp, we’ve made all the money out of you suckers that we can. Fuck y’all.

In Nutella?

I was most surprised when I finally had some and discovered it was basically just chocolate jam.

It feels like it already is.

Fnar.

A tornado? They’re expected to die at the slightest mishap. Easily replaceable and cheaper than buying more land.

The moon is about 1.3 light seconds away.

2600 ping is a lot, but people have likely played with worse. Just not very well.
