That’s how I always felt about it. As long as I get paid, I don’t care what they do with the software.

Not sure when things changed but all I know is that when I bought mine years ago the Kobo site redirected me to Walmart and that’s where I had to buy it. My e-reader even displays the Walmart logo on it when I power it off.

Kobo was sold exclusively through Walmart in the US (at least when I bought my Kobo). I think they recently ended the partnership.

That’s exactly what I thought as well from reading the headline. It definitely could have been worded better.

This and the Nike ad have been the worst ads during the Olympics.

I bought a SteamDeck as a way to test and see what works and what doesn’t on Linux. So far all my games have run with no issues.

I’m likely going to be posting and searching through a lot of Linux forums as Win10 gets closer to EOL.

This is what I’m going to have to do as well since my computer isn’t compatible with Win11. The only thing I’m worried about is gaming.

I didn’t realize you could put the steam deck to sleep with a game still running. I had assumed it would cause game issues.

Out of curiosity, what do you use to transfer files between computers?

As a programmer, I consider The User to be the enemy. No matter how thoroughly I seemingly test my code, the second the user gets their hands on it, it breaks left and right from all the crazy shit they do.

The difference this time is that my computer literally can’t run Win 11. I’m not throwing away a perfectly good PC just because of Win 11’s hardware requirements.

That is definitely way too invasive. Plugging something on to a Roku TV shouldn’t enable them to show you ads through that other device.

I was actually thinking about getting a Roku once too. Really dodged a bullet.

Exactly. I cut and paste all the time but I make sure I know what the code is doing first before I actually add the code.

I imagine he’s like Ghost Rider and can tell with a glance if someone is guilty or not by seeing their soul. If the entity has a soul, then he knows. Goldfish? Probably not. Sapient reindeer? Definitely.

In the meme example you wouldn’t, but if you were trying to figure out Something like 2% of 5, it’s easier to do (2 * 5)/100=0.1 then to do .02 * 5 or .05 * 2.

My comment was mainly pointing out that you can multiply those numbers in whatever order you want.

You could also do 6*50 and then divide by 100.

My favorite analogy is: You don’t have to choose what’s for dinner, but you’re going to be forced to eat whatever was chosen.

Ever since I was old enough, I’ve voted in every single election I was eligible for. I don’t care what people say or how unlikely it was for my candidate to win, I would still get out and vote.

I’m dying laughing at the image in my head about your scenario.

Gay Waiter: And what do you want?

You: I want some pasta fag.

Although I haven’t used it since college, I actually liked C++ especially once I understood pointers.
