You know, one wonders if all academic works should be released under "academic license"...

Might be nice to sting these big companies for our free labour.

I mean, with winter coming in, and universities not bothering to heat the building, teams turning my potato work laptop into a furnace is the only thing keeping us warm this winter...

Serious question - is their long term strategy bad optimisation to sell hardware? Do they have shares in intel or something?!?

I think, and here the key word is think as this goes beyond my mandate so to speak, it's more an act of resistance. A bit like protesting, but with less risk.

I'd say the aim is to rallying over retribution, to push those "good men" into fighting more strongly. It's not a bad tactic, it'll be interesting to see how it pans out.

It's also not really that widespread, searches for it are up because it's making the rounds is all.

The first time you say no to someone you really want to be with, that is when the 4B life starts. Till then, it's just business as usual (I really hope you don't sleep with/date people you don't like!).

The life continues when you see them with someone else, and realise some things can't be undone. People move on, they're not static NPCs you can just reload and date later.

It goes ever on, life stops for no-one and it runs it's course far too soon. To those who choose that path, make sure you know where it leads.

Edit: nice catch apostrofail! I'll keep no-one though, I feel they need that special dash bond ;)

Counteroffer - spend that $30 on a drink and turn them down. Just keep on using windows 10 and clog up their support tickets ^_^

Don't worry, the scientific community is working on getting it renamed to solve exactly this problem.

It's going to be called "urectum".

Hits buzzer

The big windows 10 problem is that it updates to windows 11.

I'm richer than I've ever been, and I am far less spontaneous than I've ever been.

It's not linear, it's some weird polynomial equation!

Congratulations, that is the single most cursed ai creation I've seen all year. Outstanding!

Might be worth spinning up an external 1080ti on the lappy and see if the magic is finally there!

I'm not entirely sold - a lot of the time when troubleshooting games for my Ubuntu lappy I stumble across Nvidia issue threads.

 

Not all art shows something beautiful - this really does feel like the internet of today without a lot of browser tweaking.

 

Truly a test of patience - this is an excellent modpack that unifies 3 classics together into the way I dreamed of playing them as a kid.

Found it by accident a week ago, and it's been my short nightly unwind (trying to do a solo run because I always wanted to).
