I wouldn’t really call it lying, because in the eyes of the computer it never shut down, it’s an intended “feature”: shutting down doesn’t actually cold stop the system, by default it has what is called hybrid shutdown or fast boot. When you click shutdown it saves your current kernel and running drivers into the hibernation file, so when you power back on it just loads that instead of having to start everything again and then reinits the drivers as if they were just started. This speeds up the process, but also can cause issues along the way.

You need to either shut it down using the /s flag in cmd prompt, or actually select restart. It’s super obnoxious and outdated in a world where HDD’s are becoming outdated.

omg yes, the amount of times the company says they “support Major Linux distributions” and then when you email or message support they respond with windows troubleshooting steps REPEATEDLY and act clueless when you try to clarify, is unreal. I’ve even been told “sorry I don’t know how to troubleshoot non-windows systems so I am going to have to put you in for a callback”

This works until you learn that 90+% of the time they haven’t actually restarted, or they thought they restarted but their OS has some stupid policy of sleeping instead of restarting on shutdown (looking at you windows with your hybrid shutdown crap). That being said, sometimes you also get people who know what they are doing, but because of this they miss the basics, because “there’s no way that is it” or they just don’t think of it. As such everyone who actually does the bare minimal troubleshooting has the same treatment.

nowadays it seems they don’t need to, the cars do that well enough on their own. I saw an article the other day about some models with the entertainment center setup that phone home and insurance companies about your driving styles. Scary when you think about whats tracked on you

I mean you could have had a kid on the merry go round, it seems normal to me!

It doesn’t make sense but it happens constantly, especially in low-level environments Where Heads Are a dime a dozen, it’s usually not straight out being terminated however it’s done in the case of yeah you did everything perfectly but we can’t financially afford to give you a higher rating than average. Which does more or less the same thing cuz it tells the employee well it’s time to go elsewhere so they’re going to be doing training costs anyway

That is super obnoxious, but I don’t think it was supposed to do that judging by the article it’s supposed to keep your existing settings it wasn’t supposed to be forced on

why not just say “humble bundle has decided to leave the indie game development market and refocus on selling game as a core” stating that they laid off the entire game development team but are still planning on staying in the market is very weird to me

wasn’t it always blocked by default? Google’s always given a scare alert on sideloading apps, is this just an additional popup or is it replacing the stock one. Seems rather pointless if a setting and a waste of developer’s resources if you ask me.

I use KDE connect…

But my grandfather does the ol reliable method for image upload, which is:

1. emails it to himself
2. prints the email off
3. scans the printout into his computer again
4. uploads image to faceboom Facebook

I typo’d Facebook originally but thay was too good to get rid of so I just strikethrough’d it

I fully blame advertising on this one, I have only heard of the game once or twice, and all of those were in comments complaining about the state of Sony which is never a good thing for a game. I have never seen any promotionals for this game and I’ve never seen any type of outline of what this game even is being as they are mentioning it’s normally a free to play I’m assuming it’s some sort of MMO or team-based game like Overwatch, I didn’t even know it was doing open Beta over the weekend till now

edit: reread the article, I just didn’t notice it the first time yeah it seems it’s your typical game like OverWatch

I’ve had this layout for a few weeks now, I agree it’s absolutely garbage. The amount of times that I’ve accidentally modified my Queue or cleared my queue attempting to read the comment section is ridiculous. As is the Queue feature is absolutely atrocious and buggy as hell but like don’t make it worse please

So true, the other day I’m like oh I’ll buy two pizzas they’re on sale that way it will last me the next few weeks for the days I don’t feel like cooking, day zero I cooked the first pizza, leftovers lasted me until day 3 after which I baked the second pizza

the only time I’ve ever seen that behavior is in middle management tiers. Every other level I’ve seen respect work life boundary, some of which even call you a try hard or boot licker if you try to go above and beyond

The game studios have an option when publishing the game through them to use their DRM, there are a ton of games that allow you to run it with steam off or even uninstalled from the PC, it’s just a lot of games choose to include the steam drm on it (usually to allow for steam achievements as that is not possible without it to my knowledge), sadly steam does not provide a good way of identifying what games do this and what games don’t. I believe you may be able to check this by checking the games executable in the install location to see if it uses the steam schema

the sad thing is you are likely right, but he also can’t pardon himself from the state level crimes, but him getting presidency again would be a lot easier then having to restart the legal process /again/ since the supreme court refused to elaborate on if he was actually immune for the charges, just that acting as commander grants immunity for official acts.

I agree, I believe that they are mad that their campaign worked too well, they didn’t want him to drop out as he was a viable candidate to win against as he was slipping hardcore poll wise and was shooting himself in the foot, he wouldn’t have won. Now they need to re-evaluate their strategy to fight against Harris, which is going to be difficult considering that she is basically a counter opposite of what Biden was and has the exact opposite tactics he did, including background and has a solid history. I personally don’t care much about her but, I can see where the threat is.

I mean, the republican advertising campaign doesn’t /have/ to smear campaign the democratic candidates. They could, you know, actually advertise what their side is bringing to the table.

That being said i feel the same way with the democratic party, it’s why I hate US politics, it’s always “vote for me because the other side is the antichrist” or some stupid thing, never focusing on what they are going to do, just what the other person might do.

lol maybe it’s different in the UK but, no way in hell would this help your relationship with your kid in the states. this would be a surefire way to make your kid never trust you with anything. Animals deserve privacy, and that includes humans regardless of age. If you can’t grant them that basic need then you failed at a parent.

Yeah the fact that this company calls it feature that they can push an update anytime without site level intervention is scary to me. If they ever did get compromised boom every device running their program suddenly has a kernel level malware essentially overnight.
