Don’t you dare speak that into existence.

Ah, I see. Yep, the Statute of Anne broke up the Shakespearean monopolies and after that brief high point, it was all downhill.

Are you referring to the DMCA? That was never to help the little guy.

Yup…Windows 12? The evil monkey’s paw demon is like, “I’ll give you that wish for free.”

You can bypass the requirements since yeah, they were always artificial. I believe Rufus has an option when creating Win11 install USBs to remove the TPM and other requirements.

But then again, it’s nice, because all I need to make sure Microsoft doesn’t secretly update my Win10 machine in the night to Win11 is to turn off the TPM in the BIOS.

Unless you killed somebody, the statutes of limitations have run.

I still remember the “dumb” tech was AOL warez chatrooms where you interacted with a chat bot to get an email with lists of scene games, movies and other stuff in the traditional multi-RAR parts, and you’d individually request them a few at a time to be emailed. Then you’d move to IRC when you found out could be done faster, or BBSes.

I’ve probably forgotten most of how things worked.

Hmm, it appears if we squeeze tighter, more blood will come out. Surely there is no natural limit to this principle.

It can be hard to find a site that isn’t shareware spam. Try this list, find a freeware you like that hopefully uses FFMPEG, and bookmark the site for next time you need a pre-vetted list of good tools:

But what device do you use to stream? That’s the dilemma I’m in, streaming sticks and devices are all so spammy.

This is the way.

Is there a better filesystem that is Mac and PC compatible? I’ve used ExFAT for that reason alone, but it’s a big one.

Couldn’t have happened to a douchier bag.

Fortunately, she was just making a fourth-wall-breaking point about gender assumptions in certain professions.

Is that text from an AI image interpreter? It’s pretty good, seems helpful for search and disabilities.

Unless you use a Vichyssoise fork. It’s all in the wrist.

Sure, when I can, but the issue is I’m in bed for 8 hours and getting 4-5 hours of sleep…

I’m all for people trying, so agree with this.

But my experience: I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in 10 years (wake up and am half-asleep, half-awake most of the night). I went to a sleep study, did the sleep-in-hospital-with-electrodes-everywhere thing, met with three doctors in series after, and their conclusion was that I should sleep more. I wish I was joking.

Oh, so right-wing men with the right genes are the chad and everyone else is the soyjak.

Truly an “interesting observation,” thanks Elon.

This is tragic. I can’t think of how many computers I built using incomparable Anandtech articles. The depth of the testing, and careful, scientific planning really has no match in tech journalism.

The high water mark just lowered.

Musk is taking it to the farm upstate.
