We don’t
- Comment on Brits in disbelief as new refillable drinks ban implemented across UK 1 day ago:
It’s not enforced though. A recorded voice will come over the tannoy and say “no smoking, something something” and everyone carries on with their day.
- Comment on Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux? 3 days ago:
How old are the old days, I used CATIA V5 for a stretch around 20 years ago and I’ve mostly gelled with freecad pretty well (some odd decisions here and there and some bugs, though a lot of those can be attributed to the kernel). I’m wondering if I’ve just got an old CAD head.
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 4 days ago:
I’m not OP to be fair, but I think they said all games. I do believe I’ve conflated two chains, there’s another post about lack of physical space up there somewhere. MITX motherboard on an SFF build I can definitely see it. I’m not sure sacrificing graphics card is going to be better on a gaming PC.

Sorry, I meant any more details about sending books to kindle via USB - I’ve never had any issue doing this.

Yeah, it’s too expensive.

What are we seeing as the positive?

What are you on about?

What do you suggest they do with the other 3TB of data?
- Comment on Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody" 6 days ago:
Yeah, £15 was pushing it, I don’t play as much as I’d like, big benefit was cloud gaming facilitating couch co-op, but at the minute it’s mostly my kids playing Minecraft, cheaper just to buy that.
- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 6 days ago:
I hate it, but it’s easy to justify from a dev perspective. If it’s switched off it doesn’t need to be tested.

I mean, yeah I’d entirely prefer that too. But on a halo series play through you hit a wall with halo 5.

Cloud play allows local couch co-op without a second console/version of the game.
- Comment on What if we were *just a lil evil*? 1 week ago:
I can only really speak for the intellimouse I have, it’s a little over 5 years old, cost £25, 4 buttons and a clicky scroll wheel, comfortable to use. Works as well today as the day I bought it, gets maybe 8-10 hours of use 5-6 days a week. Only complaint is the rubberised coating near the side buttons has scuffed up a bit.
I’m not claiming it’s the world’s greatest mouse or anything, but it’s fine, decent.
- Comment on What if we were *just a lil evil*? 1 week ago:
I will say, MS make a decent mouse.

I been rocking minidlna -> Kodi for 10+ years 😂
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 1 week ago:
Have you got a link to more info about it? I can’t find details anywhere.
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 1 week ago:
I’ll be switching to kobo next time round, but I’ve never not been able to dump books onto my kindle by usb. I do it with my phone over USB sometimes. Since when has not doing that been a thing?
- Comment on What even is money at this point 1 week ago:
Isn’t that just a justification for more expensive labour? (Like it’s totally justified but it’s still a labour cost)
- Comment on *A clean colon is like driving on a country road on a sunny day...* 2 weeks ago:
Sometimes they send entirely inadequate instructions you know aren’t going to work and then you have to go more than once. That’s a pain in the ass.

- Comment on Notepad gets AI features like Summarize, Write, and Rewrite, using local and cloud models. 2 weeks ago:
Nor should it ever hit standard notepad, fewer features are the advantage for me, not more. If I need an IDE I use an IDE, if I’m searching log files then grep is the tool.

Assuming you mean linter, why?
- Comment on Notepad gets AI features like Summarize, Write, and Rewrite, using local and cloud models. 2 weeks ago:
The whole reason I use notepad is because it’s super light on features. Text wrap + find and replace is all I need.
- Comment on Notepad gets AI features like Summarize, Write, and Rewrite, using local and cloud models. 2 weeks ago:
Hard disagree, it’s fantastic for dumping log info/code snippets into and stripping formatting off strings.

Has his operation gotten any more reliable? I thought about getting some of the powders to put in resin but there were so many stories of people waiting months and then getting ghosted.
