Yep. A lot of these tech companies that have run in the red for years are now being called on to produce a profit and pay the big backers.

I can’t argue with that because honestly I was jealous of the folks running it. But they are buying new equipment today and I’m not.

Same. I have a lot of legacy recording equipment that I won’t replace until it stops working and it’s all mini USB.

I’m just glad I got what I did instead of FireWire.

Until the CIO gets the “telephone game” version of what’s going on.

That’s not the one I was talking about, but it doesn’t surprise me.

I’m less concerned about that and more concerned about supervillains building lairs.

Some of us always look like shit.

I just assume it’s a convoluted way to present Loss.

Same thing is happening a lot of places. One large american company that I’m not going to mention is doing several rounds of layoffs along with a return to office initiative.

Yep. I’ve tried several others and they’re not for me, but a lot of people are really happy with them.

I like SteamOS so much that I’m using HoloISO on mini PCs around the house to simulate consoles and stream couch games from my gaming rig upstairs. But my experience isn’t everyone’s so get your hands on it and try it out.

I was barely in high school and had just gotten into heavier rock. Before that it was my dad’s rock (a lot of Boston and ZZ Top) and a little grunge because it had EXPLODED the year before on the radio because of Cobain’s death.

That Ozzy album and Astrocreep 2000 led that shoeless hillbilly boy down the road of heavy metal that continues to this day.

Perry Mason and I Just Want You were my favorites, but I played that cassette enough to destroy it. Same with Astrocreep. The next year I got a CD player and that changed the whole game.

Apparently, SpaceX has special tactics to stoke his grandiose ego and trick him into giving them the freedom they need.

It’s a tale as old as bosses. Many of them have big egos and think that because they’re in charge that magically gives them expertise. So if you want to do something you either get them looking at something shiny or you make them think it’s their idea.

I had a boss like that ages ago. If I wanted to work on something out of the ordinary I would plant the idea, then a few weeks later I would remind him that he brought it up a while ago. I used the fact that he had a million things going on so he never really remembered who brought it up. I didn’t care that he got the credit because I got to work on cool things and expand my repertoire.

Yeah, Infinity hates it. I’ve still got a Firefox browser app pinned that works fine though.

That’s why way back in the day they had GIMPshop and why there’s PhotoGIMP now.

You’re right, once. But adding that one time means I never have to see the launcher again. Clicking no means extra launch time and looking at it every time I launch the game.

But different strokes for different folks. If it’s not worth it to you then that’s cool. It was worth it for me and I thought I’d drop that for anyone else who may want it.

I was going to ask where the ad was, but I forgot that I turned off the launcher specifically because of that. I have no idea about PS but you can add the following on PC to skip the lau8

--skip-launcher

I am more concerned that she’s a ‘viral girlfriend’. I had one of them years ago.

It’s a Glass Cliff and a poisoned chalice. Probably with a literal Sword of Damocles over her desk.

I didn’t notice Atmos was gone until now. I have an ok Atmos system that works pretty great on the titles that support it. I love Atmos.

I get it free with my Internet service so I’m not cancelling, but I’ll never subscribe.

D.A.R.E. raised my awareness of drugs. I only used them for wholesome purposes.
