Drivers usually run in kernel space, where a crash can bring the whole system down. This is not exclusive to Windows

Whatever you say man lmao clearly you didn't read the book and are just making generalizations

If I remember correctly, he said it was definitely not a modern tape drive, which is why an older man was maintaining it

I'm gonna call bullshit based on the story by Snowden in his biography about his Boomer co-worker who was in charge of maintaining a tape drive that recorded all incoming communications from field agents as a backup

Beaches are for people that don’t have enough personality to admit that beaches actually suck. Movies, TV, and commercials love to glamorize being at the beach, and some people just absorb that without thinking. The sand gets everywhere (and stays there), the water leaves you feeling all slimy, and just getting to the beach is always a hassle.

I was just recently visiting Santa Barbara, California, which has world famous beaches. After being on the beach for an hour, I get back to my car and notice a thick layer of black sludge on the underside of my feet (I was barefoot in the sand and wearing flip flops elsewhere). I ask a local and he says “oh haha yeah that’s just crude oil that comes out of the sand because of the nearby offshore drilling. Always gotta bring baby oil to the beach so you can get that off!”

His nonchalantness about the whole thing is something I’ll never forget, as if it was just some cute local quirk

let’s see how many one liners and nonchalant comedy we can put in

I feel like the character differences between the heroes have vanished. Now they're all just Deadpool's personality but with different powersets

Sorry man I just think it’s irresponsible to be spreading disinformation. You even admitted at the end of your post that you have no idea if what you said is true, so like, why even post? You’re contributing to the problem the same way bots are

ByteDance is registered in the Caymans, with global headquarters in LA and Singapore

Literally the first sentence of ByteDance's wikipedia article says they're HQed in Beijing. Which means the CCP has unfettered access to the company's property and can strong-arm their leadership to do their bidding (as is standard for all Chinese businesses).

The data TikTok collects is extremely sensitive and is digital gold for things like training facial recognition models, which China totally does not use for bad things

But nice try, comrade bot

I can name one improvement: global scaling works SO much better in Wayland

But obviously if you don't have a high DPI monitor, this won't matter to you

For small burst play sessions, I guess just not strategy or RPGs or anything that requires me to remember a bunch of rules and mechanics. I tend to lean more towards puzzle games and platformers with generous save points. And the occasional racer

I am also looking for a Switch game to play in short bursts after finishing Mario v Donkey Kong

Considering how much Google has entrenched itself into the Internet (see manifest v3 fiasco), I would argue that creating a new browser is a fork of the web

Is there a good aggregator for demos? Or should I just start watching some on YouTube and hope the algorithm starts including them?

Probably once Intel decides to buy ARM so that they don’t have to compete anymore

“I’m apolitical” == “I have political opinions that are too extremist even for political parties”

Wow you just shined a ton of light on a problem my company had. We wanted to implement a medical imaging system from one of their subsidiaries, and it took an average of 3 months for the salesperson to respond to EACH of our emails

Today in European news:

A BRAWL broke out between Turkey and Georgia fans. They FIERCELY shouted at each other through some railings while throwing plastic beverage cups at each other.

Then, during the game, a player was GRAVELY injured when a defender tackled him directly in the shin guard. He rolled around on the ground for 5 minutes before medics saved his life with the magic spray.

Yall are cute :)

If I'm in an interview and I hear the company call business hours "core hours", I'm immediately running. That is corporate jargon straight from capitalist hell. They don't even hide that they're trying to own our lives now, so they say "non-core hours" to try to normalize working at 8pm.

Proms were around for ~50 years before we started seeing "promposals", where guys would ask girls out with 3 minute-long choreographed dances in the middle of the quad for the whole school to see & record for social media. I'm not saying it's stupid to put effort into asking someone, it can definitely be cute, but it can also be ultra cringe if you take it too far
