Sigh. I hate the fact that I have to research every 4K release I consider buying just to see if it's been butchered.

Thankyou. When I asked the question, I was not aware that The Onion repeatedly posted this and it was too realistic for the Onion's usual take on things.

I also agree that satire doesn't need to be funny.

Bold of them to assume they will be allowed to win in 2028.

Indeed I am. I already have a dual-boot setup on my laptop (not yet on my desktop) but need to finish testing Linux alternatives and/or running under WINE for some of my Windows-only software. I've been slowly chipping away at that over the past few months and expect to continue to do so over the next few as well, after which I hope to be ready to completely switch over.

Doesn't surprise me one iota. This is why I will be abandoning Windows next year and moving to Linux and doing the same for my parents.

Yeah, she was definitely trying to teach you to hunt (some cats seem to consider their owners just gigantic incompetent cats). She's probably saying something like "I even brought it right to you and you still couldn't catch it?!"

It would not surprise me if somebody had done this to humilate the women involved or because they thought it was "funny" rather than actually being sexually interested in them.

Which is more likely: that Google's benchmarking system is wrong, or that quantum computing somehow takes place across hereto unprovable alternate realities?

I know which one I would pick.

Is he hoping she will shout at them until they do what he wants?

[–] Australis13@fedia.io 17 points 8 months ago

I think it's safe to say she's yours now. Glad to hear you're looking after her.

The only issue with the BT transmitters is potential lag. Some models are shocking (I tried one exactly for the purpose you described, but the audio lag was bad enough that I couldn't use it).
