Jerry's more than just a genocide denier.

He's a genocide denier who was banging a 17-year-old high schooler when he was in his late 30s.

It's only fair to paint a complete picture of the man.

I lost The Game when I saw the picture and again when I checked the comments. Rats.

I bought Sonic 2006 when it came out. It was my first experience with a truly terrible, broken game. I'd played things that weren't up my alley or were subpar somehow, but that was the first time I was truly blown away by how bad a game could be.

With zero examples given, I also assumed this was a religious dude mad that LGBT people exist.

You can also set a group policy to allow no updates at all except when you approve and download them manually.

Ridiculous that you need the group policy manager for the basic setting of "don't put shit on my PC without asking," but here we are.

Moore's New Law: The price doubles and the stock halves

I was thinking irradiate them and give them guns, but your idea works too.

I dunno, but it's a pain. Hiding low-level components from the user to make it more user-friendly.

I have an old 2014 macbook with a busted GPU temp sensor. The Mac firmware assumes the worst - that the computer is dangerously overheated - and therefore throttles back the CPU by 80% and runs the fans at full blast.

Fixing it on Mac required a number of third-party tools and flashing a custom firmware. I then installed Linux on the device - about ten lines of script that read from the working temp sensor on the CPU die and write a scaled value to /sys/ in response.

So much flippin easier on Linux.

The third line of a haiku is traditionally meant to show a turn or a surprise element, so this is a fine haiku indeed.

America might once have cared to defend Taiwan, because the whole tech economy is powered by their chips. But the U.S. is so diminished, overextended, and chaotic that China clearly recognizes an opening.

I think Xi makes a move within the next two years.

I mean, Neal Stephenson coined the term "metaverse" to reference a virtual world not limited to gaming but to all kinds of business and commerce and social interactions.

Zuck's concept for the metaverse was basically the same thing. I'd be surprised if the connection wasn't intentional.
