We can only hope the rocket wasn’t intended to hit a hospital, but it doesn’t get much better in any case.

Four! Five! Fire!

Can I run this on Synology?

93% with NextDNS and HaGeZi Ultimate.

Even as a lifetime plex pass subscriber, I have ditched it completely in favor of Jellyfin.

And how is it tech?

I’m pretty sure most of the people running Beehaw are more than happy with people saying bad things about Musk. But it does get a little spammy, it’s honestly not all that interesting after a while?

X.com was the online bank that Musk co-founded and that some time after it merged with Confinity Inc. changed its name to PayPal (PayPal was a product of Confinity).

Edit: think this got double posted.

I think to many of us, Microsoft is definitely the best option for someone buying Activision/Blizzard. They have been willing to give new life to old IP, they have given purchased studios freedom and support to follow their projects and take the time needed, they bring games to both PC and console and now many more platforms with Cloud Gaming, and they have a generally professional work culture.

Microsoft at least used to famously “eat your own dog food “ during development of new Windows versions. This means that the developers themselves had to install the latest build and then use that while continuing development. This could lead to longer delays when crucial parts didn’t work.

AFAIK this trend started with David Cutler (legendary developer) and the development of the original Windows NT. You still need a fair bit of building blocks developed individually before you have something large enough to assembly to a build.

In those days, they sat mostly on OS/2 while developing parts for the kernel and boot system etc. Then some specifically precarious items to roll into the build and have everyone start using was networking, file system, and graphical interface. Bugs here hampered everyone (like, how do you create a new build of windows with new parts when networking / sharing files doesn’t work?).

Today I’ll imagine more development is performed on VMs so that it’s much less noisy when stuff doesn’t work. I’m sure at lot of developers still willingly or not install the version they are working on. However, it will probably be a little later with more working parts, and not updating every day etc.

I don’t really understand your take. They sold the game cheap after 7 years of development and it’s still a really good value after the increases in price. I couldn’t praise the developers and how they run this game / business enough.

Factorio returns an ever increasing value for the money due to the continuous effort the developers have put in especially on modding, and on the ever expanding quality and amount of mods that gives you a whole new game many times over.

I cannot think of a game that has better value for money than Factorio.

The only downside is that you will spend an indeterminate amount of time playing the game and when you think your finally done, there is another game changing mod that will give you another full and even longer gameplay, for free.

There’sa free demo you can download to try it out and see if it’s something you’d value.
