A number of games (for example the new Halo) aren't actually on the disc or otherwise have mandatory download requirements. The disc is just used as a DRM mechanism. Rockstar is no…

It does but it's not reliable. The update process is also the slowest imaginable other than Windows update. It takes several minutes at times just to discover which games need upda…

Had the same thought but with the new Halo remake which I own on PS5. On booting the game, you're presented with the text "Press X to join" in the second player slot. That's a lie,…

Flock's system misread the plate, simple as that. Trying to pitch it as solely human error just shows that they don't want to take responsibility of the limitations of their softwa…

They are listing what the position entails. In this case it's a full-stack web dev role. "only c++ all their life" is more or less not possible if you have experience doing that Li…

HDMI ethernet channel is a thing, though semi-obsolete. It's unusual for a PC graphics card to support it. Intel website suggests they don't support it: https://www.intel.com/conte…

Tried out the wg-wrap tool, might come in handy from time to time. Neat that it was made with a local model. Some issues: 1. `wg-wrap healthcheck` was all green even though unprivi…

I would not be surprised if the main purpose of these job openings is to boost sign-ups/download stats. It's "weird" because generally it's considered poor taste to extract commerc…

Elevated creatinine levels (in absence of supplementation) is a sign of kidney issues. There are many studies showing no reverse link i.e. supplementing creatine damaging kidneys h…

That may exist but the opposite type of irrationality is much more common. Scalability = success. We need to be "scalable" because that means we're successful right? Scalability = …

I remember vaguely the opposite. They were the only major prediction site that thought Trump had any significant chance of winning.

This article is relevant to a theoretic perfectly designed and built guitar.

Relating it to performance is just silly. Most companies barely understand the performance of their employees much less candidates. The market has shrunk but not catastrophically s…

Sure, I assumed status quo everyone is talking about is basically the several years before that graph. I still think it's relatively bad compared to that despite the modest improve…

You'd think "past year" would include a full 12 months. This person has chosen a ~10 month period to hide the large drop off in early 2025 as you can see here: https://www.citadels…

Their graph shows a rebound to early-mid 2024 levels which is promising but still a relatively bad job market

If anyone is curious, as I was, where this misinformation came from: it appears to be a criticism of the Food Compass rating system from Tufts University. The connection to "past a…

> The good engineers in india know their value and get it. The job market is not that efficient anywhere, especially India. Lots of people work their way up from crappy jobs to goo…

> Why are firefighters volunteers anyway instead of getting paid? Government structure and basic economics. Fire depts are mainly funded by local taxes (property, sales) so low-ris…

They're fine but they did basically the bare minimum effort to release them. Some people hate the blur effect they put on the sprites in the first game. There are patches to remove…

IIRC it was originally built for Saturn and there were a number of graphical downgrades in the conversion to PS1 along with reduced sound quality. Loss of shadows on 3d buildings, …

PERM is for employment based green cards, not relevant here. Pending AOS for a spouse grants them legal status, including a work permit if they apply. The underlying visa doesn't m…

Both behaviors have been common/"correct" as long as I remember. Single window apps such as System Preferences, Disk Utility, etc. don't meaningfully exist without their window and…

>For all intents and purposes, the size of current context windows obviates all of that work. Large context windows can make some problems easier or go away for sure. But you may s…

The correct bulb will not say that, aftermarket LEDs do. The light reflector housings are designed and tested for specific bulb standards. There are LEDs which try to output light …
