I heard once that boxing gloves made boxing more dangerous, because previously punching someone in the head would hurt your hands so you’d focus on their chest and belly. With gloves you were free to give them a brain injury instead.

Whisper hallucinates on silence and music (“Thanks for watching!”, or the Japanese equivalent).

I’ve had Whisper ask me to donate to anime fansubbing groups. I wonder what it was trained on?

If you aren’t just setting oil on fire, there’s plenty for making plastic and rubber.

People weren’t forced to use Metal as it turns out - they just didn’t make games for Mac instead.

Apple tried to force people to use Metal, they just forgot that MacOS isn’t the iPhone and they don’t have enough weight in the desktop PC market to dictate terms like that.

IIRC Apple were refusing to implement open standards because they were trying to force developers to use their proprietary Metal API.

Those do actually go down. Hospitals have to be evacuated after an earthquake, airports force all aircraft to divert or the grid has the sort of outage that gets it’s own Wikipedia page and needs to be black started.

Ah, a fellow retrophrenologist.

No, in the 90s parents could afford fuel.

Does this mean the US is going to stop paying prisoners pennies an hour for their work?

They’ll announce peace, that doesn’t mean anyone will actually stop shooting.

Note that this isn’t vkd3d-proton, the d3d12 implementation that Valve’s Proton and most gamers are using.

I assume it’s all translated from Japanese, so I wouldn’t read too much into the exact word choice.

Ah, like the way Tesla’s Autopilot avoids being on during accidents by cutting out just before impact?

All those textures that won’t fit in the VRAM of Nvidia cards have to go somewhere, I guess.

Nobody knows, that’s why they’ve stopped post instead of just charging you the fee.

WoW64 is a Windows subsystem for running 32-bit stuff on 64-bit Windows. You’re talking about Wine’s implementation of WoW64 - there’s the old one which needs 32-bit Linux libraries and the new one which doesn’t.

Also, if you want people to solve your issue instead of just guessing, we’re gonna need to see some logs.

port forwarding/firewall issues that most people don’t know how to deal with

This sort of thing makes me want to tear my hair out when I hear “Why bother rolling out IPv6 when IPv4 just WORKS!?”

NAT, port forwarding and the problems they cause are seen as expected, just the way the internet works instead of the dirty hacks they actually are. Most people aren’t old enough to remember the time when everything connected to the internet had a routable IPv4 address.

I mean, he’s also legally obligated not to rape people but that doesn’t seem to bother him.

People in the USA don’t need to travel for that, just wait.
