My Xbox One wireless adapter works great on Debian, with xpadneo

Then which country am I speaking to?

Debatable

Oh, that was always the standard for Game Maker to differentiate between sprites and objects, which typically had similar names. It’s a difficult thing to unlearn!

Skewer case, perhaps?

Drink some water!

…was that an ad?

Examples I’ve seen in the wild:

• Argos POS terminals using CentOS
• ATM using OS/2 Warp
• Co-op tills running (I think) Windows Embedded POSReady
• TVs using Yodeck (ultimately Raspbian, I guess)
• Occasionally, ad terminal things using Raspbian

When was this, exactly?

I’m amazed there’s anyone out there who hasn’t heard of Jim Fucking Sterling, Son

I ran 7 on a Dell netbook for a few years, and it worked great (though, naturally, not as great as XP)

Because mice are a solved problem. New phones can ostensibly have new features, better cameras, better displays, etc. Similarly, new cards and CPUs can give you measurably better performance.

A new mouse is something you get when your old mouse is broken, and if that’s happening every year, then there’s a big problem.

It’s probably a typo

I have to question in what world one would need “the latest mouse” every year. The only reason is if Logitech makes such a crap mouse that it starts to fall apart, thus necessitating a new one.

The only other avenue is that the mouse just gets more and more bloated with additional “features” year-on-year.

The principle isn’t the worst, but the implications are less than ideal

It doesn’t, but thousands of people all downloading 3-4GB from the same site will put more load on the site. Torrents avoid this issue by downloading little bits from lots of different peers

The CEO of a corporation should be the living embodiment of that corp. Kind of like Subway in Community

Unless you’re using a non-Chromium browser, that is.

I pay for it because I thought it was a trustworthy service that had earnt my money. Instead, if they continue with stuff like this then I’ll go back to not trusting subscription services again.

This and the new LLM “feature” in ProtonMail suggests that someone higher up has had a sniff of the techbro kool-aid.

Absolutely delightful, thankyou!

For some, that’s a benefit
