Windows XP. 2001–2019. If 10 beats that I’ll be impressed
- Comment on Dropbox is laying off 20% of its staff 2 weeks ago:
They used to! I actually got the 1TB plan the same year they phased it out. Good timing on my part there. Waste of £70 or whatever it was.

Shared goal? Shared with whom?
- Comment on Flipt: open-source, CloudNative feature flag solution 2 weeks ago:
Genuinely confused as to what the use case is for this. Do you put it in your own app / page? Is it for managing features across all your services? Is it just its own features??
- Comment on WordPress demands conf organizers share social media logins. 2 weeks ago:
If anyone wants a ‘quick’ solution, have a look at ClassicPress which was forked from WordPress a while ago.
NB: it does have a big friendly ‘migrate’ button which works pretty well (in the form of a WordPress plugin). However, expect some of your other plugins not to be compatible.

Any IT admins in the audience: this is what remediation scripts were made for
- Comment on how can i self host my music? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t have any links to hand, but look into Dynamic DNS. It’s basically a way for your device / router to talk to your domain registrar, and update their DNS records whenever your IP address changes.
Have a look at DuckDNS as a starting point.
- Comment on San Francisco to pay $212 million to end reliance on 5.25-inch floppy disks 3 weeks ago:
I’m not 100% sure off the top of my head, but the end result is that the drive is set to A: rather than B: in Windows. Something to do with the pins on the motherboard specifying the drive order.

And why the floppy drive’s ribbon cable has a little twist in it??
- Comment on Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it 3 weeks ago:
Two options:
- Change the DNS and gateway so they’re pointing to 0.0.0.0
- Give the Windows install a static IP or lease, and block that IP on the router
- Comment on I rented many games solely based on their covers, only to be mildly disappointed when I got home. 3 weeks ago:
It wouldn’t really. Hand-drawn sprites are pretty standard even today - whether they’re hand-pixelled (Stardew Valley) or frame-by-frame animation (Spiritfarer).

Most things in Doom, if we’re counting photos!

The characters and environments in Fallout and JA2 are basically still frames (sprites) of 3D models at specific angles. They were rendered once on a powerful development machine, and converted to sprites for our lowly Pentiums.

Lots of the best games were prerendered! Donkey Kong Country, Fallout, Jagged Alliance 2, Duke 3D, the Pro Pinball games, just to name a few.
I do have a soft spot for prerendered graphics.

- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 1 month ago:
I’m glad you live in this fantasy world where more productivity = more personal time, but it doesn’t always work like that, especially in salaried positions. More productivity generally means more responsibility coming your way, which rarely results in an increased salary.

…I managed to do the same too, just trying to scroll up on a question, and despite having read both these comments.
Starting to think it’s a ‘them’ problem
