The answers it gives are often trash though, even more so the whatever lobotimized model they slap on top of google search.

> Scientific and political beliefs often do not stand the test of time, but is it fair to blame the people of past eras for their misjudgements using the values of today? the probl…

EA lost FIFA a few years ago. The games are now "FC". They still sell though.

If they sold games and were well monetized (not to be confused with heavily monetized), they wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.

I meant in the videogame industry.

Because the Saudis leveraged this buyout via a massive loan from JP Morgan, EA's debt is now 10 times higher than it was when it was a publicly traded company: $2.2b to $22b. Turns…

Godot has the Compositor. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/rendering/c... Unity has little advantage over Godot these days, unless you're familiar with one and want…

A nice, somewhat nostalgic read. I had X-Copy and D-Copy both, although I'm more familiar with the later X-Copy editions that were quite purple [0] [1]. It was also my first contac…

Also one of the most controversial translations, if memory serves.

This is actually wrong because most of the A1000s were bundled with an RGB monitor and an optional composite out. The system wouldn't be really connected to a shitty TV until the b…

I'm not seeing it. Sure, the window bgs are gray, but so was 90% the OSes at the time. Everything else is different and even the only things those two have in common, the pseudo-3D…

That's a whole separate argument you've invented here. And if the capability exists today, why did you talk about some nebulous future?

10 years ahead, but for Irving motherf- Gould wasting it all out of pure greed, even after Rattigan managed to turn things around. AmigaOS 2.X is still a fantastic UI and design la…

If you're trying to say that Microsoft implemented a method of delivering specifically malware executables to every PC, I've got a bridge to sell to you. Let's not diminish LG's pa…

Surely you mean Linux security model (not relevant enough to be targeted by big tech)?

It's a complex/murky matter with lots of allegations in every direction that's hard to summarize properly. The absolute barest bone / neutral summary is that Filian is very popular…

It's not 2018 anymore, so that's not quite true. By now free models have been there forever, and indies have been using them for as long. I mean, Filian has already been using one …

That's a bit... late to the party. I can't find when the article was published, but the phenomenon "went worldwide" several years ago by the means of COVID. These days the vtubing …

now explain to the class who uploaded it to Windows Update service

The monitor should absolutely take the major part of the blame by being the source of the malware and poisoning the system for everyone else.

The wallpaper is definitely busy, I couldn't say how many people even used wallpapers in that era over flat color.

I mean, "back in the day", I used to set my own custom WB disk to boot in 8 colors on an ECS system, which caused extra lag on many things (visible redraws ahoy), and it was more o…

Nah it was just the default server in the dropdown list. Out of the box it also supported UnderNet, IRCNet, and more.

Apples and oranges. MSN was aimed at, well AIM, to the point where AIM used protocol flaws to block MSN clients. And it doesn't track that they'd just abandon IRC considering it wa…
