Not enough doublers.

Ugh, more doom and gloom…

Look on the bright side. I might be able to have a seaside retirement home without even having to move house!

As somebody who still wears shorts in -5C, that does sound pretty nice. Anything above about 27 can go fuck itself.

I’m on VPN so my highest is like 6.

I’m got a 100Mbps upload but nobody wants it through a VPN. 😢

He’s actually three zeros off.

It’s 0.0021%

I’ll go with the small red download button in the middle.

It could be the very bottom one, but it probably says advertisement under that and it’s just been cropped out.

But even the correct button is likely to launch you into a popup to try and get you to download a “downloader” of some description, as if that’s not literally the sole function of a fucking web browser, and then suddenly you’ve been taken to livejasmin.com or a sketchy gambling site targetted at Asians.

protections we put in place to secure players’ data

The player data that we are required to agree to share with 1643 trusted data partners in order to connect to your service? That player data?

Go fuck yourself, you ghouls.

According to Wikipedia, they started it in 2015 with Beasts of No Nation and stopped in 2018 with Roma.

Lots of others did it during covid though.

The last time I actually enjoyed a cinema was a tiny little place in Iceland that appeared to have two screens, a ticket stand and a snack stand, and had one old guy running between all of them like a novelty act. This is how a cinema should be, not some horrible 12 screen thing showing the same Marvel shite at 20 minute intervals.

We did see Die Hard 4 though, so it wasn’t all fun and games. Still it could have been worse. It could have been Die Hard 5…

So do we. We just leave them in another country so we don’t have to think about them.

I’m honestly impressed that a left wing organisation lasted long enough to get themselves banned.

They usually split into a dozen warring factions within a month.

Going to be quite a bit heavier than that if you run it on a different CPU architecture though. And even if you’re not running on mobile, Apple still opened that can of worms a few years back. Linux too, I guess.

Honestly, I don’t mind HTML for a UI. It resizes nicely to fit a large number of devices. It looks pretty much the same no matter what you’re running it on. But it should just be that, a UI layer. Otherwise the solution you were looking for was a website, and not a dozen 500MB chunks of Chrome installed around my PC.

My strict diet of bread, cheese and highly processed red meat means I don’t need to worry about washing vegetables.

Checkmate, healthy eaters!

I think it was Netflix that went through a period of releasing movies in cinemas and putting it on streaming on day one.

It was such a resounding success that they no longer do that.

I guess MS has deep enough pockets to not realise their folly yet. PSN Premium/Extra isn’t as good value from a consumer point of view, but it also hasn’t killed their own console. What that cannibalises is the “wait for a sale” people, who would likely have paid £20 for a game a year or two down the line. I think that’s a more manageable than losing all the day one £65 sales.

It can’t be worse than those Chris Pratt ones, can it?

Well she is British…

Oh look, new money was old money all along.

Guess even they are cashing out.

Doubtful, but if anything mine would be more accurate. Fewer calculation steps to lose precision on. I think most spreadsheet software fudges floating point precision anyway. A computer programmer may accept that 0.1+0.2 is not 0.3 but an accountant or mathematician would not be having it.

I think she was just shit at maths tbh. As a kid you sort of assume all the teachers know more than you about every subject, and that’s not the case at all.

We had computer classes where we had to learn about spreadsheets.

To do a number plus ten percent we had to put in A1+A1*10/100

I did A1*1.1 like a normal person.

She then went round to make sure everyone had put it in correctly. Got annoyed at me and changed A1 to something else to expose my folly.

Was visibly annoyed when it showed the right answer.

Oh, VR is pretty neat. It sure as shit don’t need no $3000 graphics card though.
