    It was actually both in one executable. Pretty neat. But I will agree that OP might have played it in Microsoft Dos on a PC, so the original point still applies.

    Quake launched 2 full years after Playstation 1, so I find it somewhat unlikely you've never heard of a Playstation. And if you have it on CDs you must have played it on PC with Mi…

    Or the copyright owner recognises that suing the current administration in court is going to risk other negative consequences and those are not worth the risk. Or perhaps it's just…

    Hmmm look, I can offer you my perspective on this. I've been a low level engine programmer in video games all my working life. I worked on a few AAA games that sold 20M+ copies, I'…

    Yep, I made several games for the Pico-8, it's really really fun.

    It's just not the same. I made games for the PSP and Vita and it's "different" than making games for Windows or Playstation/Xbox. There's something about seeing your creation on a …

    I mean, there is plenty of people out there who enjoy the process of making a game(they have a really clear idea of gameplay mechanics they think would be fun when put together) bu…

    Right, but the article isn't about posts, but about a paid ad campaign - surely those are started in numbers that could be moderated?

    I just said I haven't heard about it - anything beyond that is your own interpretation. I thought I was very explicit in my previous comments that things are definitely _not_ fine.…

    It would be great if not for the fact that at least over here in the UK your doctor or anyone from the NHS will always call you from a restricted number. So especially if you're el…

    I mean, it's all a matter of perspective and where you are coming from. Like, I could easily say that literally any piece of news coming from the US makes me not want to move there…

    I'm guessing because insurance companies would love to put their hands on that data, so it can be repackaged and sold off. Or Palantir can offer a model trained on it, so it's not …

    Comment #49165953

    So, what is going to happen now? Someone in the UK government goes "ooops, sorry" and Palantir gets to keep access to this data? Or are we just going to have another 10 year long e…

    Eh? Would you? I have two degrees and I never mentioned exactly what they are on my CVs, literally just like above - "2010-2014 Computer Science at University X". I've reviewed cou…

    Yes, that's correct. As I pointed out in the other comment, that's already an illegal installation.

    I mean sure but right now in the UK you can only add one 800W source without planning permissions. I'm just not sure what we're trying to say here - can someone create a dangerous …

    Maybe you don't know this, but in the UK every single appliance has its own individual fuse right inside the plug.

    It's already been a thing for a long time. People in the UK are talking about it more because it's about to be legalized(up to 800W) by the end of August.

    Well, yes generally speaking. But the way this works with these plug in panels is that the micro inverter won't actually start delivering power to the grid in the absence of an ene…
