I beat this game in the All-Stars collection, which does this for you automatically.

This is even more of an insult than “physical” PC games that ship with a paper CD containing an unlock code for whatever digital storefront of choice they partnered with.

For Windows, any kernel level application needs to be sent to Microsoft for vetting. If Microsoft requires drivers to go through a vetting process (well, if they want that WHQL stamp), why can’t they do it for any kernel level application? Or if it does, what exactly is Microsoft doing that allows things like being…

If undervolting is tedious, you could also lower the power limit.

Whenever someone defined “quiet quitting” as “doing the minimum of what you’re asked to do”, I’m like... isn’t that what you’re expected to do at least? As long as the job gets done, that’s not really quitting. That’s just getting the job done.

My apartment office some time ago upgraded everyone’s thermostat to a Nest one. For the longest time I didn’t have it on the network until I started using the AC a little more often.

One of the best earplugs I’ve found are from Etymotic. I’ve found the regular foam ones to be no different than putting your fingers into your ears, but the Etymotic ones seems to lower the sound enough that loud sounds aren’t painful but you can still reasonably hear everything else that’s going on. And also they’re…

Things I highly suggest to tame your PC’s thermals:

Looking into it more, it also looks like the Japanese are a little more careful about gutting animals. Like taking care not to damage the offal, especially the intestines, when gutting. Though they did ban raw beef and pork consumption.

The raw meat thing feels kind of hazy to me.

Wasn’t Bernie also the one with the draconian “absolutely no 2D games” policy during the PS1/Saturn generation?

A non VR mode would be nice.

It could add to that, but there are other reasons for people to have no-shows or cancellations.

The only reason I would find skiplagging a problem for airlines is for logistics and planning.

Because they see the higher price you “should’ve” paid as lost revenue.

There was an explanation going around for certain items like video games that the only reason why sometimes games have a high value on the second hand market is someone is making them seem like they’re rare and collectible, even though they’re a dime a dozen. That or small group of people buy up the stock and…

You know what else everyone will eventually get? Death.

Ah, the ol’ “If you can afford $250+ a night, you can afford an extra $20, $40, $whatever per night too”

You could also use something like n-Lite and O&O ShutUp10 to achieve a similar thing.

Even with the whole “for every 10C increase in temperature, the lifespan of electronics is cut in half”, we don’t even know what that lifespan is supposed to be in the first place. For all I know it could be 100 years at 70C, and pushing it to 80C drops it to 50 years.
