I wouldn’t say I was friends with Windows. It’s more like escaping an abusive relationship IMO.

Put a strip of tape across the top of the screen.

It doesn’t need to be secure, they fire anyone who removes someone else’s lock.

He looks like he’s just seen a sexy couch.

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 can imagine showing someone the image and saying, “See the evil one in the middle? No, not that one, front middle.”

You may not be surprised to find out that place used to be the bottom of an ocean. Doesn’t look like it’s changed much.

Presumably it’s a bit less wet these days.

My phone will hotspot when it’s connected to WiFi. I can even tether it to a desktop PC and use it as a WiFi adapter.

That… really feels like something hardware should have been doing, but okay.

chances are, it will have a table of context and generally low quality writing

Don’t forget repeating the question over and over again. If my question gets rephrased four times in the first four sentences, it’s a good sign that I’m reading AI slop and there’s no actual answer in the pages and pages of text.

At least they aren’t trying to get Steam to work on Kali.

It’s apparently the Pentium 1 and older, so those chips were discontinued in 1999. Almost 26 years old.

Ditching i686 could be a problem for people running 32-bit stuff on modern hardware, though. I expect that’ll hang around for a while yet.

And we’re pronouncing it JIMP?

Fucking called it

Only some Pixel 4a phones are affected, apparently.

You know… the stuff they’re doing to some Pixel 4as - reducing charging speed, limiting charge level, etc - those are the same things EV manufacturers do when they’ve got known faulty batteries catching fire and are trying to work around the issue with software.

Doing it to certain devices which you can look up by IMEI, that sounds a lot like something you’d do if you had a certain batch of batteries catching fire and knew which devices had those batteries.

More than a year after end of life, Google suddenly decides “stability of battery performance” is such a big issue that they’re going to pay compensation to people? That isn’t suspicious at all.

We’ve all had Kerbal Space Program missions that went like that.

I remember hearing during lockdown that sales of business pants had tanked, but sales of business shirts hadn’t.

It was originally one computer that everyone connected to, it wasn’t a fleet of separate computers like Windows PCs.

Why is it we send things by car and it’s a shipment, but we send things by ship and it’s cargo?
