And triple check the device path, you don’t want to unceremoniously unmount and obliterate one of your non-system drives (shouldn’t be able to unmount your system drive)

This may or may not be advice from learned experience

9point6,

Isn’t freebsd the more general purpose, more bleeding edge (comparatively) option with openbsd having a focus on security and netbsd with a focus on portability and stability.

9point6,

I’d welcome the EU meddling in my freedom; certainly would be better than the Tories

S-video was a mini DIN connector which wouldn’t have fit into one of these RCA jacks.

If you’d put composite video (the yellow RCA cable in this setup) into one of the audio jacks, pretty much all TVs would not do anything with it as an incompatible signal. If they actually tried to turn it into something, it wouldn’t be audible. Composite video generates a signal at something like 5-10Mhz, human hearing tops out around 20Khz (250-500x lower)

9point6,

I must know more

Either I’m hoping I’m gonna learn about a strange tradition or that I’m about to read a load of carefully crafted bullshit to seem like the former.

Either way I’m happy, so tell me more about your traditional festively microwaved sausages

9point6,

Okay I was with you until

Served with […] Pyssling Pudding. A mix of lime jell-o and chocolate.

What in the hell, this clearly goes much deeper than I imagined

9point6,

I never thought it would happen, but it’s finally happened

Might not be a PC but a security camera or some other outdoors mounted device

Probably Radiohead

Or Trent Reznor

After 23 years, developer reveals he snuck a cheat code past Sony that turns a cult-classic horror game into a godsend for retro enthusiasts (www.gamesradar.com)

Article about a recent revelation by the Youtube Channel Modern Vintage Gaming: The game “Alien Resurrection” by Argonaut contains a code which allows to run burned CD copies of Playstation 1 games.

Good luck getting a copy if you don’t already have one, scalpers have already raided everywhere.

Edit: apparently the Christmas drinking has affected my reading comprehension

Still a warning for anyone else thinking the same

9point6,

Oh yeah, this is a bubble, but fwiw, there should be minimal compatibility issues possible from my understanding as this is essentially the change disk mechanism we see in several games, but without the check that the correct disk has been inserted. Of course there’ll be edge cases (and I’m gonna imagine there might be some late stage additional copy protection in some games that doesn’t rely on the boot up checks), but on hardware as simple as the playstation it’s going to be pretty much: if you’re running the executable, you’re running the game as if it’s passed the checks

Was gonna say, a video essay is almost an entirely distinct form of media from a written essay. And to conflate the two really disregards and diminishes a lot of the creative process that goes behind both.

A good written essay might make a terrible video essay, and vice versa.

9point6,

Oh shit, you’re right, okay game on

Will it be decided by a tournament bracket?

9point6,

Of course you go for the no true slippery slope climbing, red herring walking, goalpost moving Scottish straw man argument

9point6,

Big releases are harder to test and debug issues.

If your release contains a single change and something goes wrong, you’ve got a pretty good idea of where the problem is before you even start to look.

If the friction of creating a release is low (with automated tooling) and updating is (typically) automatic there’s not really a good reason to not release as often as possible in most cases.

9point6,

I mean the latest crop of phones aren’t that far off, we’ve got fingerprint sensors behind screens already and the front facing camera on my Pixel 7 is a pinhole at the top of the screen less than a centimetre across—which IMO just blends in.

9point6,

Wait iPhones have SD slots? I literally had no idea

9point6,

Ah I misunderstood, I guess I assumed the OP was talking about phones.

Glad they finally put the SD reader back on the MacBook Pro a couple of years ago, I was wondering if I’d missed them adding it to their phones.

9point6,

What do you mean? There’s two tits right there!

9point6,

This is the answer. At least, it’s the only thing I’ve ever heard someone not from the internet call it.

9point6,

To be fair, they couldn’t remember the greatest song in the world, no

It was just a tribute

9point6,

Paint the windows in chalkboard paint

You say no way, I say no imagination

For the party (and currently government of the UK) “sponsoring” the fake ad, directly murdering homeless people by chopping them in half would be pretty on-brand, they pretty much kill them off indirectly with legislation already and disparage the homeless in the media all the time.

I agree that halving homelessness would be of benefit to everyone, but the Tories don’t particularly care about benefit to anyone apart from themselves and their masters.

Potato salad is pretty mid until the Germans get their hands on it

Then we’re talking some of the best shit around

9point6,

Set one alarm you actually need to wake up for and never snooze.

You’re playing with fire if you set alarms that are okay to snooze, because one day you’re gonna snooze them all
