Maybe we should switch to co-ops and employee-owned companies to fix that bullshit

Don’t care. They shouldn’t have made the deal to begin with

Sounds like a skill issue on your part. Cope harder.

I always assumed it was a braindead choice by IT but maybe it’s a driver issue.

It’s likely both. Part of the problem is Windows’ “fast boot” setting. When enabled, the “shut down” button actually puts the computer into hibernate mode. Only restarting properly power cycles the system. In many companies, the option is enabled by default and IT departments lock employees out of changing it.

Another part of the problem is that the option is needed at all. If the OS wasn’t completely bloated it would boot up quickly anyways

I mean it should be a no brainer

Key word being should. I haven’t looked into these options yet, but there’s a reason Microslot has a reputation for hiding setting

Bullshit. Killing off SMS mfa just forces everyone into walled gardens

beyond…you know…every door is a loading screen

What’s even weirder is that it’s not even required by Creation Engine. You can get everywhere in New Alexandria without loading screens, the level designers just fucked up

Just to go on a tangent (your comment just feels the closest to this particular topic), Hitler was actually a product of incest. His dad/uncle had a habit of raping “marrying” underage girls, including nieces.

Also, there’s plenty of records of Hitler being fucked up as a kid, even before WW1. By that point he was particularly anti-semitic, even by the standard of early 1900’s Germany. He was also effectively “that kid” that was in everyone’s high school that wrote fanfic where they go on a rape/murder spree.

Tbh, Hitler had 0 chance of growing up as a normal, well-adjusted person.

No media justifies the idea of molesting someone because they’re a bad guy.

I think One Punch Man has done that as a joke with the character Puri Puri Prisoner being both a high ranking hero and going to prison for raping me .

That being said, one example doesn’t mean it’s common, just that you need to rephrase your last sentence to “almost no media”

There’s a video essay that covers this topic: Where are all the Skyrim Killers

The big takeaway is that it’s really expensive to do, and it’s only gotten more expensive since Morrowind with the expectation of fully voice acted dialogue and complex schedules. Not even Skyrim has full schedules for all NPC’s tbh.

Ok, tangent time: I have to wonder if another factor is public perception. Look at discussions on Starfield that pop up and you inevitably get people with… interesting takes.

I’ve seem people argue that Bethesda’s formula is outdated, which is ridiculous. There’s plenty of people who still enjoy going back to old games or renewing old formulas. Just look at boomer shooters, which also rely on an “antiquated formula”.

Then there’s people that haven’t picked up a Bethesda game since Skyrim, and complain about how the Creation Engine is outdated. They don’t realize that it’s gotten a lot of improvements over the years, such as updating it to a 64-bit instruction set for Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition, which has drastically increased stability. Or creating ESL and ESP-FE plugins that effectively add 4095 plugin slots since the original 255 was too restrictive. Or the improvements in gunplay with Fallout 4 and Starfield. Or all the modifications they did to make Starfield even possible.

That being said, I think Bethesda should look into releasing the Creation Engine into open source. There’s some impressive work the modding community has done to add in features they care about using SKSE plugins or Community Shaders

Fukushima happened in early 2011. Your graph doesn’t start until 2016. Sketchy af.

Ok, that mobo does look good

You can sync between devices securely with syncthing.

That being said, the syncthing-fork devs are refusing to get certified with Google Play (which I support) so by the end of the year you’ll need a deGoogle’d phone

Assuming you have a degoogle’d phone. The syncthing-fork devs announced that they aren’t going to certify for Google Play when that’s made a requirement in a few months

Geothermal power is limited to specific locations, and the best source in the US, Yellowstone, can’t have power plants built by law.

And I just realized you meant geothermal HVAC. You’d probably need a lot of space to dissipate that heat, but should technically be possible

Nuclear waste can be reprocessed and reused. France has been doing it for decades. Or you could reuse it in a thorium reactor, which needs less reprocessing.

Another thing people forget about is that nuclear power is the main source for tritium, which we have a shortage of and it’s getting worse as more nuclear plants are decommissioned. Tritium has a lot of uses, but it’s most noteworthy use is fuel for fusion power. If decommission all nuclear plants, fusion research is effectively dead in the water

I’m in favor of nuclear, but no. Nuclear can’t handle surges. It takes up to 3 days for a plant to sync to the grid.

The only power sources that can handle surges are hydro, batteries, and natural gas turbines.

Then nuclear power is good at is providing baseline power and slowly ramping that up and down to handle seasonal fluctuations, since solar power peaks during summer. Something else is needed to pick up the slack during winter

Ah, yes, the German Green party which famously shut down nuclear plants in favor of…

Bambu Lab’s software is forked from software that used the AGPL license. Then they made their code closed source, which is expressly forbidden by AGPL.

Bambu Labs are the ones who have been in the wrong this entire time, it’s just that nobody has seriously called them out on it before

I can’t wrap my head around how the people in the article get anything done on the computer.

Sure, I could have File Explorer search for a file in theory, but it’s ridiculously slow and often fails to find the files I actually want. It’s way faster to just have things organized on a day-to-day basis
