Oh, VR is pretty neat. It sure as shit don’t need no $3000 graphics card though.

He says on the “I hate Reddit” forum.

I’ll tell you if I can find some new files for testing.

Even JPEG isn’t always back compatible either. I loaded an image into my software which uses some ancient library internally, and it swapped the blue and red channels.

This is what happens when you let children watch the Tate brothers.

I didn’t believe that guy was 91 until I saw the socks.

I’m a middle aged man. I’ve paid my mortgage. I’ve got savings. My pension is doing alright. I’ve got my shit together.

I still eat beans on toast more often than I get a takeaway. You don’t need to send half your dinner money to the silicon valley cunts that are fucking everything up. Support your local food places by going in, that way they get all the money.

Honestly depends.

If it’s life or death urgent, an ambulance arrives, takes you away and with any luck, fix you right up. Visitors will likely have to pay to park at the hospital, and that will be your biggest expense. When my dad had a cardiac arrest, it was during covid, so the parking was free. The biggest expense was cleaning his blood off the carpets and putting their cat in the cattery for a week.

If it’s something non-urgent, and the cause isn’t immediately found by a doctor, then you might go on a waiting list and be seen in a few months maybe. And even then it might not get sorted. It’s not like House.

The most annoying bit is the 8am phone roulette to try and get an appointment.

It would certainly be more accurate.

Now I want Quentin Tarantino to remake Cinderella.

Like 90% of the movie will be the feet checking part.

Try Jedi Fallen Order. It’s got a lot of the ingredients, but a lot shallower learning curve.

Yeah, stick with GoW. It’s one of my favourite games of last gen just for the story telling.

Post game there’s some vicious challenges that took all my ability just to beat them on normal.

Come on, we don’t need tracking devices embedding under the skin.

Just use an AirTag. Much cheaper.

Hey, don’t you know how long it takes to get a building insured?

I do like Mini PCs, but I kind of wish there was an easy way to get a solid GPU into it. There’s those weird docks but they’re far from standard, and it would be nice if the GPU had a similar form factor, so you could just stack them up like a MiniPC on top of it like an old hi-fi separates system.

Slap a storage box on it as well for some HDDs, baby you got a server going.

Both Linux and MacOS look fairly flat overall, with a few spikes for Mac. What did happen was iOS and especially Android went to the moon.

Most people had a PC for a bit of light office work, emails and storing pictures. All of that can be done on a phone and more besides. It’s not great that a handful of Silicon Valley techbros are holding everyone’s data to ransom, but that’s what the masses are doing.

I thought that was methadone, or did Trainspotting lie to me?

I’d like to thank a childhood of having no friends to offer me any drugs for keeping me away from a lifetime of addiction.

“Having trouble quitting heroin? A little bit of heroin can really alleviate those cravings!”

This thing has been trained on social media. Is that really wise?

Yeah, read a couple of sources and take the average.

Always bear in mind who funds it.

Well look on the bright side. AI is about to become really good at drawing penises under fat bellies.
