Shudder. I had this weird brand laptop… Sotec IIRC and there just wasn’t a modline that ever got it all right.

Xserver… Somehow trying to find the magic string of letters and numbers that made your screen work.
I have arrived
The trouble for me was always getting people to use the controllers. I had some success with some family members using bubbleupnp on their Android phones. But the separation between sources, renderers and controllers is a little confusing for non technical people
DLNA is going to be your best bet, but it’s such a deep and convoluted rabbit hole. There’s a lot of ways to configure a setup.
To be fair a hotplate could play games better than a p4 and do it while staying cooler.
23·7 months agoI have a box with 10 old laptops that I keep around, just for that. Unreal tournament 2004, Insane, Brood Wars and all the Id classics. I don’t get to set it up a lot, but when I do it’s always a hit.
They don’t write sql they just use some god awful orm or cram it all into a nosql db.
Another Rider user. I write mainly backed code, and integrations etc. Work is Rider and Datagrip on windows. Home is Debian KDE with Rider and Datagrip. I love it. If only I can convince my it group to allow Debian on my work computer.
4·11 months agoI’m 44 and I can remember my best friends phone number from 5th grade. Couldn’t remember it when I was in 5th grade and I can’t remember any actually useful numbers today, but I know that one. A guy named Jeff has it now. He’s nice.
Yup. One time I used it for a password. Then forgot that it’s what I used for the password, until I reset the password to something else… But I still remember the key.

Right.
Yeah, if I can forget that I'm physically addicted to caffeine, I can forget a habit. Pshhh that's easy level stuff. When you have to actively ask yourself, "what should I be doing, right now?" And the answer is, eat something, it's been 28 hours since your last meal. Don't get me wrong, I made meals for my wife and kids, they ate… I just forgot to.
2·1 year agoNo, it was genuinely bad. Yes bugs, but it was also the classic example of corporate overlords forcing “creativity” and hoping that the licensed property would make it a success regardless of the quality.
I’ll go with a classic, “E.T. the extraterrestrial” on the Atari… It was bad. It’s badness is legendary for a reason.
One of the downsides of adhd is, if left untreated, it can lead to substance abuse. One of the upsides is it’s easier to “forget” that you’re addicted to something. I once forget to drink caffeine for a few weeks. Just slipped my mind. I still had the withdrawal symptoms. Headaches, low energy etc., but my brain would not connect the withdrawal to the substance, because from my perspective caffeine did not exist. It was a weird experience.
Made me think of the first season of Halt and Catch Fire.
