Do you know how much bandwidth six channels of uncompressed audio needs? Home theaters would be a HUGE hassle without a single cable doing all that work for you.

"Independently-owned farms" are the exception, these days, not the people. Every single one I've ever seen has at least one guy on there that performs miracles with PVC pipe, a TIG welder and spare bits of iron.

When it's light & small enough to be a pair of glasses and more than just the expensive but limited gimmick that the form is currently, then it'll be world-changing. It's close, but it's not there yet.

Definitely remember Stick Death in highschool around '99-'01, 2+ years before this flashers group supposedly started.

If I switch that monitor to the other machine, Windows re-arranges ALL windows to appear on the new "primary" portrait-oriented screen#1, some maximised to fill the screen, some not. They stay there after the other screen is reconnected.

Possibly because the screen being switched is the "primary" screen? At least it's consistent behaviour between both Win10 AND Win11, which is nice.

Very interested in this: what kind of setup do you use for VR? What troubleshooting was required?

(My background: I have a 10gbit fiber network and wifi 6E to stream to my Quest 3, and play VR that way. Running Arch on a gaming laptop as a way to dip my toes in the water, haven't really tried anything to do with VR (my favourite way to play games) because I'd heard it was a nightmare.)

It's one of the reasons I switched to running fiber even to desktops at home; it's like 1/10th the heat output.

Every lock I've been unable to pick (usually due to the fact that it's a pile of rust) has been susceptible to bolt-cutters. Big lock? Bigger cutters. Still cheaper than an angle-grinder.

YMMV :-)

It absolutely was an important (and required) step towards a more secure and stable OS. What it was not, though, was a secure and stable OS.

Windows ME was the same. A required step on the path towards something better, and ALSO something that had the "Windows XX-ready" badge slapped on anything that asked. But no one is lining up to try Vista again apart from technical challenges.

Even the softer track "Ecce Gratum" still has regular organ interludes to set the tone.

Or are they all similar to the rumble.com link below, standard 2020's coded propaganda and clickbait bullshit?

edit: Nevermind, looks like they ARE mostly conservative conspiracy crap. Carry on. :-(

Eh, lumping the gold-coast in with Brisbane is easy enough. Tanned bodies, barrel waves, way more tourists than you expect... it's basically California except it faces east, not west.

If anything it's yet another point AGAINST them - if they can't guarantee secure software without the caveat of running on a closed hardware black box then it's not secure software.

There's a lot of people that have woken up to this and are loving and accepting, and sometimes it can feel like this is becoming the norm when you're able to surround yourself with that kind of person... but you're right. It isn't "the norm" it just normal enough for some lucky people.

Considering how much the sales division of many medium and large companies dictates the direction of the whole company, "sales meeting" and "business collusion" is often the same thing.

I've worked for FAR too many companies that have lost $60million in support and maintenance on a sub-par product that sales managed to sell for $30million gross... and then the sales division (and upper management) leave the company for something better. What a surprise.

Same with Android - from 2008 to ~2018 I was rooting and putting custom ROMs on my phone before I'd even got it home. These days I rarely bother because the functionality that I required is finally provided out-of-the-box.
