Yeah. It’s a good idea to guard against it, but I would still never put spaces in filesnames that I myself choose.

Spaces in file names will always be fiddly though. It’ll work, but it’ll still be wrong, because arguments are space separated, and having spaced file names totally messes with that.

Where I’m from, we had a wealth tax, but when it was removed in 2007, it only accounted for 0.43 % of all taxes because it was too easy to avoid.

To… Party?

I was equally confused about what people meant with hide the desktop. I assume they meant show the desktop.

If that’s the case, I agree that it’s a bit strange.

But isn’t that exactly why it’s called loan words? In Swedish we’ve borrowed words like radio and nylon and we initially pronounced them as in English. But eventually we started to pronounce them as the spelling would dictate in Swedish (the English pronunciations would’ve been spelled rejdio and najlon). For toilet it’s the opposite. We borrowed toilette from French, but eventually altered the spelling to match the pronunciation: toalett.

I’ll grant you that once we have adapted and incorporated the words, we are no longer borrowing them. Maybe we should stop calling them loanwords at that point. But while they’re still new and don’t yet fit in, I would say that borrowing sounds about right.

On another note, I can’t understand why a people wouldn’t want to make every word work in their language. You completely lose the flow of speech when you have to pronounce something that doesn’t fit naturally into it, and you either come off as a pretentious douche or a stupid person.

I’m willing to bet that thise people didn’t know anything about AI until a few years ago and only see it as this latest wave.

I did AI courses in college 25 years ago, and there were all kinds of algorithms. Neural networks were one of them, but there were many others. And way before that, like others have said, it’s been used for simulated agents in games.

LLMs are AI. Lots of things are. They’re just not AGI.

I mean when phones had 3.5 mm jacks, the DAC was built-in.

Oh yeah, we just forgot. Because everyone loves adding a dongle between phone and cable.

Also just to transfer pictures to a laptop for editing and to clear space for taking more pics on the phone. I know cloud exists, but I want to control my own data.

people buy a new phone often enough nowadays that battery wear is not as much of an issue

battery wear is part of the reason people trash their otherwise working phones. People buying phones more often is a symptom of not having right to repair.

Also, buying an extra battery and charger meant you could carry a fully charged battery in your pocket and if you were out hiking or something, you could just swap batteries instead of needing a power bank and a whole bunch of charging time.

Was it Mob Rule? I didn’t play it enough to remember specifics, but it was from that era and had a distinct, blobby character design.

Anyone but the driver could watch.

Bonuses should not be expected, or they’re not bonuses. I get that. But making them available only to those able to do some physical test is discrimination.

I didn’t know console games had subscription costs in ways the PC equivalents don’t. I’m a PC gamer myself, and wouldn’t buy a console precisely because it’s a unitasker. But the one task it does do well is couch gaming with a controller, and that’s not how I’d use a PC. Fair, if that’s someone’s thing, but I would just think a console was better for that usecase.

If you only play that particular game with a controller, sure. My point was that if you’re a controller player, I’d think you’d have a better time on a console, since they and their games are made for it. Mouse and keyboard controls with key remapping are the biggest reason I play on PC.

Just like how most people playing Skyrim are playing without mods

Doubt.

Edit to expand: I honestly don’t think I would’ve played it if it wasn’t for mods. The interface is so blatantly consoley and clunky that every action takes way more effort than it needs to.
