still doesn't take digital payments.

I'm enjoying this game. It's not blowing me away or anything but it's definitely not the turn mountain that reviewers and social media are making it out to be. It's entertaining and I do not feel like I wasted my money. If being "just okay" wasn't acceptable I would be unemployed.

that's going to be just as difficult to fight as as Google trying to defeat ad blocking.

to put this in the cant-beat-them-join-them department. I can't believe they want to use the Chinese playbook to fight a perceived threat from China. This is an attack on free speech.

and I'll have hit the life expectancy for my demographic. Is that too much to ask?

I opted into the most bleeding edge insider preview build because I wanted a WSL 2 feature that lets you mount USB devices in the WSL as if it were natively connected. Lets you do stuff like format a flash drive with Linux from within Windows. I was super surprised to see my laptop boot up in to Windows 11 about two weeks ago. Widgets are back but they're in a little start-style menu by themselves. I had to left justify my start menu, they've centered it on the taskbar now by default. The new maximize button is really cool. I am not in love with the new super flat UI motif. Other than that it's just Windows. It's working fine.

I have a OnePlus 6 and I was having issues with applications getting killed in the background. Most frustratingly was when my couch to 5K app got task killed with about 45 seconds left at the end of my run. But guess what? In the settings menu you can disable battery optimization for specific apps. Haven't had a problem since.

..maybe they could also roll back all rounded rectangles they added in v69. Everything is so round it feels like I designed it in my basement.

My Oneplus 6 was $579. You can still have both.

I am the only one that doesn't connect to an access point that I'm not familiar with?

In school I never understood or tolerated bullying and I was bullied quite a bit. General strategy was to verbally goad the bully into throwing the first punch. I was tall for my age and obese, I usually mopped the floor with them. Fat guy strength is a thing. That generally brought a solid end to the bullying; at least for a good while and never again from the same source. I graduated a few years before MySpace. So when I went home, the whole horrible drama of high-school ended and I could just dial my friends' pagers and play Diablo 2. It was such a relief sometimes to get home. I dreaded going to school but I had a sanctuary at the end of each day. These days it's zero tolerance. Moves I made to thwart bullying would get me expelled in today's schools. It doesn't stop people from being assholes. For these kids the day to day pressure of dealing with social clicks, bullying, being judged, being different, feeling awkward, not fitting in, measuring up... it never ends. They leave the school then go to their screens and it just keeps. on. going. I guess it always did, but at least I didn't have to watch it play out in slow motion on the Internet. How can we get people to just follow Bill & Ted's advice?

If you are listening on a cheap [pair of headphones, laptop speaker, dollar store speaker brick, factory car speakers] that anything over 128kbps mp3 sounds pretty much identical.

When I first read Ready Player One, I didn't think it was going to be such a prophecy. Where's my UberBetty?

Depending on the angle and where the zombie was in the animation, it could look a little like they are tossing their asses... closest I could find: http://quake.wikia.com/wiki/Zo...

At the very least, these programs could help highlight the children that have natural ability and/or interest early on. This way, once identified, they will have the opportunity to get the deeper education they need to go on and be successful in a CS related field.
