George and Pat Rothfuss both have enough money in the bank that they don't have to release their books to the public anymore. They probably still write for fun, but neither will ever release anything again.

Honestly, I think thats fine. It's a shame I won't get to see the ending of either series, but I also don't have a shortage of things to read.

If you manage to find a copy of the game and want to play but don't have a VCR, The entire thing is on YouTube

Yeah, this is pretty much it.

Microsoft took over the computing world because they built a really good enterprise management toolset. Say what you will about their shitty business practices both in history and today, both AD and GPO are fucking incredible pieces of software. Microsoft Office and Exchange email are also pretty much the only game in town unless you want to jump to Google which is objectively worse.

Those tools meant that workplaces adopted Windows instead of Mac and Linux and slowly transitioned their Unix servers to Windows. Then people started getting PCs at home, and they didn't want to learn a whole new OS. Guess what, Windows is also available for home use and does all the same things that your office PC does.

Now that Microsoft has the vast majority of the install base on PCs, it's not economically viable to develop or troubleshoot software for the other platforms, as you're putting in a ton of extra time for about 5% of users.

Until Linux can promise ~90% compatibility with all software and they can put out some kind of real competition to AD and GPO, people are going to take the path of least resistance and just get Windows.

Touhou is just Japan's Homestuck. There is source material, but the vast majority of the content that people assume is canon comes from fanwork

I would seriously doubt it, not because it's impossible, but because it's massively impractical.

It turns out that wireless charging is shockingly inefficient. The antennas you would need are way bigger than you could carry practically, and the amount of power you receive is very tiny compared to the amount of voltage you're pushing through.

A YouTuber I like actually built a setup like this in a recent video.

Gendered bathrooms have always been stupid. Everybody poops, everybody pees, it's good enough to just have a room where everyone can do that.

I believe they make you move your face specifically to avoid that from happening. Which is why the Death Stranding trick works

This is the thing that old people get where they think that every issue works both ways. They care about Trump so they assume we have the same opinions about the liberal elites like Clinton or Biden, or Obama.

This is also where the "Father, I cannot click the book" comes from. They can't find reliable info online and think that kids cant find reliable info from books.

This issue has multiple facets and the answer changes depending on the end result you want.

The author of the article sees the problem as "Old games you bought on steam are unplayable on modern hardware". Kaldaien sees the problem as "Steam cannot run on older hardware anymore, even if the games I bought still work there". Both people want the same thing (To be able to play the games they bought) but are looking at it from different angles.

Ultimately, Steam is a DRM tool that has a very good storefront attached to it. If you want true ownership of the software, buy the game in a way that will let you run the software by itself. Valve expects that the overwhelming majority of its users will keep up with semi-modern hardware (In this case, a machine capable of running windows 10/SteamOS) which I don't feel is is an unreasonable ask. However, expecting Valve to retain support for an OS that hit end of life 20 years ago is unreasonable.

I agree with the opinions of the article's author. It would be far better to ensure that support for the old titles you bought are available on modern hardware rather than making sure Steam is still accessible on a PC running windows 98. This is one of those corner-cases where piracy is acceptable. You already paid for the game, you just need to jump through some hoops to play it on your 30 year old PC.

Man I love that we elected a vaccine sceptic as our premier.

Setting makes a difference. At daycare, he has other kids to play with and different stuff to drive the trucks over.

Rather than changing the cell size, just send 3 or 4 copies to the printer. Way faster
