I think another part of it is that gaming as a kid and gaming as an adult are for entirely different purposes a lot of the time. I still game for entertainment, but also as a way to unwind. It’s just relaxing to me and if I can get into a strongly written storyline, the stresses of my day fade away.

But as a kid, I gamed because gaming was flashy and fun and challenging, and then I wanted to talk to my friends about it after I beat yet another game.

But get a prenup.

Parents, man. Wish they’d be more concerned with dressing their kids appropriately for the season and less about the colors they wear because of perceived meaning behind those colors. Self expression and all that.

Many years ago I realized that I had mostly blue shirts for work and wanted to mix it up a bit. Went to the store, tried on everything I was buying, and came home with all blue shirts. Lol now I purposely buy at least a couple vibrant, non-blue shirts as my first picks every time I shop for clothing just to make sure there’s some variation. Yes, it’s still mostly blue.

To each their own. I get the need to have historical chat and all, and I run a Mattermost server for friends for the last few years and I depend on history there too. But on Signal it’s really just what I use with work peeps for after hours non-Teams IT chat in case something breaks and they needs emergency help since we all basically mute notifications for Teams after work.

Correct, it will only have all future messages. Nothing historic. But it should sync literally everything going forward.

I use it on mobile and desktop regularly without sync issues. Has it always had that problem for you? I generally always get messages at the exact same time without fail.

Ackshully, that’s a jackdaw. Wait, where am I?

That’s great in theory, but you’ll have passwords for logging into OSes too which password managers do not help with and you better have it memorized or you’re going to have a bad time.

Very common for pass phrases, and not dissuaded. Pass phrases are good for people to remember without using poor storage practices (post it notes, txt file, etc) and are strong enough to keep secure against brute force attacks or just guessing based off knowledge of the user.

… everything reminds me of her??

The better argument is that many keyboards don’t have an Insert key. I usually use Shift+Insert myself because it’s more likely to work on all terminal types, including Windows and Linux, but have ran into times where I just don’t have an insert, like on my laptop and Chromebook. So yeah, I might switch to Ctrl+Shift+V as my go to.

Theseus who? I only know tHESEUS.

I like how you upset two different people for entirely different reasons. One for it being so old that their mortality comes into question, one for it being the origin.

I find podcasts funny in that when they first came out, my boss as the time wouldn’t stfu about the latest one he found that I should definitely buy and iPod for and binge it all. But now? I listen to podcasts more than music when driving. Just hundreds and hundreds of hours of listening to them.

Anand left 10 years ago to the day of the announcement. Was pretty well timed and I doubt it was coincidental.

Shut down announcement 10 years to the day from Anand Lal Shimpi retiring from AnandTech.

You can definitely put me down for 0 because my parents didn’t love me enough.

To clarify, websites can’t capture keyboard events that were typed into a different website like you’re thinking. Think of going to a web game that let’s you use WASD for controlling your character. It’s able to capture those events on that page because its in focus. When a site goes out of focus (such as switching tabs or switching to another window that’s not the browser), it loses that ability. Overall, it’s very secure.

I was more wondering how you thought capturing the mouse movements would lead to security issues.

Lmao thanks for letting me know about its other uses.

I was looking at massage guns, like the one by arboleaf on Amazon, primarily for how focused it looks like I can be with hitting specific muscles. Being literally unable to walk until this cramp calmed down was terrible.

But yes, these also all look like a solid wank.
