Origin "We create worlds". They definitely did with the Wing Commander series. Played a lot of WC 3, 4 as well as Privateer.

I don't think anyone mentioned Lionhead Studios. Black and White was fun. Sadly it's in copyright limbo if I'm not mistaken.

Also played a lot of Civilization 1 from Microprose back in the day.

"I don't have anything to hide"

I prefer to suggest a different mindset - "It's not that I have nothing to hide. It's that I have nothing I want anybody to see"

I did not try replicating this behavior with a Windows install on my desktop. I did however perform a fresh install of Fedora 39 and that appeared to have fixed the issue, which is good news.

So I decided to bite the bullet and did a fresh install of Fedora 39 and that appeared to have made the issue go away. In the process of installing updates and configuring it the way I like, the monitor control buttons on both monitors response. So, it seems like the cause of the issue could have been a glitch during an update. Who knows? At least I know that it's not a hardware issue (cross finders). :)

Agreed 100%.

Before I got my noise cancelling headphones, I was very aware of the volume that I have set when trying to watch a movie in a plane. After I got the noise cancelling headphones, I no longer have to set it that loud anymore.

That said, some airlines need to relook their volumes of their PA system. Some of them are shockingly louder than necessary. Lol

Drivers for the Tobii eye tracker do not officially exist.

The monitor with this "unresponsive button" issue is the Acer monitor, which is about 2 years old.

Very interesting. The Asus monitor is probably only 2 years old. It does work fine standalone with a spare laptop of mine that is running Windows 10 though.

Best guess is that companies are probably paying the TV manufacturers to have their app preinstalled and appearing in front of the line.

Bed bugs.

Positive outcome would be no more having to burn contaminted possessions (or wash them in very hot water many times).

Sony minidisc says hi :p

I remember a time when i was hoping they'll implement the minidisc as an alternate removerable storage for PC. More robust compared to floppy disks, less delicate compared to CDR, and is rewritable too. LOL

Millennial because they grew up only knowing MP3s and digital media and didn't get to experience disc based media. :p
