I saw the thumb and just thought, Macos for maco Monday?

I got it, and beat it, in the last month, and I agree. Had a blast.

At this guy.

Sample size of two, but mine don’t seem to have strong feelings on them either way. Although the older one (still in single digits) prefers Minecraft on the pc to the Switch, despite starting out on the latter.

There’s also the fact the mobile gaming industry worked hard to make it an ad riddled, predatory monetisation & whalebait laden skinner box hellscape.
I don’t deny there’s a few gems mixed into the dogshit, which is a shame because I’m not going digging for it.

I’m aware of the community this is posted in, but my kid talks to her grandparents via the chat features in Google photos. Works over WiFi with specific contacts and no phone number required. It lets her show them pictures she’s drawn.
Google are involved of course, but there’s no algorithm pushing promoted posts or any of that BS

Don’t even have to pay for the base game (which is everything except the current expansion) now. The game is free for the first 20 levels (with social interaction restrictions) and with the rescaling at the end of the last expac meaning you can play those 20 levels in pretty much any part of the world (of warcraft).
The current xpac is a one off cost still, with the sub required to access the end game levels and remove all the social restrictions.

Don’t worry, they mean the bed of their truck. The airflow at highway speeds ensure all crumbs are carried away immediately!

Their foil is pretty good at keeping stuff fresh too (as well as making good anti-mind-control hats)

Malware is free too

Because he shot himself (allegedly)

Feels like a “render unto Caesar” non problem

Some will some won’t. The contrarians will never budge, the “I’m not anti-science, I just don’t trust evidence I didn’t gather myself” ones should. I suspect most flat-earthers are the former.

I’m not sure the corporate lockdown will allow that, but I’ll look into it thanks.

My desktop isn’t a problem, but the Dell laptop issued by my employer is a pain. It can take over an hour to load the models I work on, so I only shut down over the weekend and sleep it weeknights. Every time some BS, probably hidden behind admin credentials by IBM will wake it up within 20 minutes. Luckily I’ve discovered pulling the power and leaving it in battery keeps it asleep.

When I had my house reinsulated last year I took the opportunity to run cables from every room to a small closet, and then a run from that closet to the router. Had some… experience, learning how to wire in the sockets, and right now only my office is connected with a bit of patch instead of the switch I’ll eventually need to get the other rooms live, but it’s so much more reliable than it was with WiFi or poweline. Not to mention that those technologies only just kept up with the 36Mb VDSL I’ve been stuck on for the last 10 years. Having ethernet means I’ll actually be able to get the most out of the 500Mb FttP I’m getting next month.

Or dads who refuse to change infants in their care because “peedo”

Ham Folk

I don’t know why, the big fan is on

Fair point, but this is one of those “if a jobs worth doing, it’s worth doing badly” situations where just waving a towel at it still helps prevent stuff getting out of hand.

Of course this is easiest with induction because you don’t need to wait for stuff to cool at all
