Are you talking the full set of S0-S3 sleep as well as hibernation? Or just whatever your machine did by default? Because I've never had one do all of them correctly without freezing up or having some other issue, across multiple motherboard brands and BIOS updates and so forth. ~30 years here, Windows mostly then the last few on Linux.

Wait, are you suggesting it's consistent and reliable on desktops?

I'm actually inclined to believe this somewhat, for the simple fact that Krafton could be legally liable for slander if the statements are untrue.

Also, did we know previously that 90% of that $250M was allocated to the three executives? That's a bit shocking to me. If Krafton really wanted to create goodwill, they could say that money remains on the table but would be 100% allocated to the rest of the development team now instead.

You too! And sorry, I just realized I actually posted the video in response to someone else. So big apologies if I came across as argumentative over something you might not have seen. My mistake 🫤

I didn't consider it a debate in the first place, but yes, I'm aware of how the words have changed in their application. That seemed to be a central theme of the entire post 🤷

You didn't watch the video 🤦 Wikipedia is not a superior source to an actual expert. And species are not categorized based on etymology (which wouldn't work here anyway as some "penguins" have all-black heads).

The video is from a PhD Biologist & Zoologist who has made a ton of content on the joys and challenges of phylogeny, and he clearly has a love for these creatures. It's worth a watch if you enjoy this stuff.

Yes, Great Auks were the original "penguins" and they lived in the northern hemisphere. He makes the point that those are more closely related to hummingbirds than they are to what we now call penguins. And the modern "false penguins" (to be a bit cheeky), which live almost exclusively in the southern hemisphere, are more closely related to flamingos and other colorful flighted birds than they are to any auks.

So in terms of avian ancestry they are not even very closely related. So yeah, (original) penguins are extinct. Long live (new) penguins!

In such trying moments I like to direct my friends to the next logical line of inquiry.

Also, those flightless aquatic birds most people call penguins are not actually that. Penguins are extinct.

There's a national urgent medical line (111)

What? I've been lied to. I was told the UK line was 0118 999 881 999 119 725... 3
