Well, I guess that’s one ISP everyone will want to avoid…

Ouch.

So, basically nothing new in Windows 11 that I want and a whole lot of things I don’t.

One of my favourites. Sci-fi shows don’t often do natural disasters (or do them well), but “The Storm”/“The Eye” and “Inferno” (both SGA) are favourites.

I have actually encountered those sort of potential differences between ground planes. They can indeed wreak havoc under the right circumstances.

Indeed! Covers most of the instances where I would otherwise have to use find.

I can’t decide whether to laugh or cry.

Sorry, I auto-completed RTD instead of RDA… fixed it a few seconds later, but clearly not quickly enough for federation!

Tangentially related, the original MacGyver with RDA also had a lot of clip shows - roughly one per season, IIRC.

Turns out one of the video-editing programs I use (VideoRedo) has shut down anyway (I think the owner passed away) and so I’ll need to look for an alternative anyway - I don’t think I can activate it on new machines anymore.

Because I haven’t yet updated from Windows 10 to 11 and had been putting it off. In the past week, though, I have seen a number of news articles highlighting issues I am going to have with Windows 11 and this particular article, indicating that they have been effectively leaving systems vulnerable simply because they have applications they don’t like installed is just not good enough. I’d understand it if they were saying “we can’t guarantee your OS stability with these apps” or “we can’t guarantee these apps will work anymore” if they were removing older API support, but this is ridiculous.

Good to know. I don’t play many games, but do have some older ones from GoG that would be nice to keep.

Thanks, will do!

I was already dubious about upgrading from 10 to 11 and this is final straw. I will have to look at Linux options and see if my Windows-only programs will run effectively under WINE.

Same.

Given how bad the show’s writing has been for years and the declining in viewership in the Chibnell era, I’m actually surprised the BBC actually reversed course for once.

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

He also announces unscheduled offworld activations.

I think it’s just that we’re possessive/protective of “our” code, even more so if one is passionate about programming. We’ve put a lot of effort into it, then somebody else comes along and “ruins” our “perfect” (to our eyes) formatting/styling!

Some linters can do both. Getting one set up as an automated job whenever code is pushed to the repo is on my TODO list…
