I saw winboat recommended the other day and was pleasantly surprised at its performance, so yeah I’d recommend giving it a try too

MRW I run git blame to find out who wrote this appalling hack

I don’t know if things are different at Microsoft or across the pond in general, but from people I’ve spoken to who’ve been given similar “mandates”, they’re not as compulsory as they first sound. If you’re reasonably good at your job and your manager is keen to keep you then you can get away with just ignoring these rules. More what you’d call “guidelines” and all that.

I’ve never tried it myself but I’ve heard a lot of speedrunners map mouse click (or whatever button they need to spam) to the mouse wheel, that’s probably something you could do in Steam Input (if that’s how you’re running your games)

“Canter” is one of the ways a horse runs

Was your dream this xkcd?

I’m going to assume that this was a totally useless gimmick like most of the junk like this I saw advertised back in the day, but I’d love to hear if anyone ever used one

Use the exact same setup you have, then when she calls and asks you how to do something then you either already know or can check on your own machine!

This was quite literally an episode of Black Mirror, I’m sure nothing can possibly go wrong

I saw a similar story about how an open source software project (I think it was curl) have cancelled their bug bounty programme because it’s being overrun with LLM-generated reports and they don’t have enough volunteers to verify them all. The relevant bit is that while many were doing it for the financial reward, some do it for reputation and some genuinely do think they’re helping by adding info they think is missing but not realising that what they’re posting is unreliable.

I think GameMaker is free if you’re not selling your game

If you want to make money from your game, you need to buy a Commercial License for $99.99 .

If you want to export to Console you need the Enterprise subscription.

Other than that, everything else is free and unlimited!

The word web was right there!

Well I can think of a few things wrong with Kryten’s favoured method of plugging in his “cable”

I rarely need to do it but what’s wrong with just plugging in a cable?

I recently installed ChromeOS flex on a 2GB RAM device and it seems to work fine, it was an old EoL Chromebook though

When you’re starting on a foundation of knowing bugger all it’s impressive when any of the stuff you come up with is true!

What are the issues with multiple drives?

Perfect

Now you can install the homebrew channel just with developer mode. There’s also an app to automatically refresh the timer but I was a little hesitant about the access it wanted so I’m just doing it manually for now.
