The left Shift is A, and Caps Lock is Z.

To get those keys to function as Shift/Caps you would need to hold down the Fn key (bottom right).

I’m all for minimalist keyboards, but this shit is a bit too ridiculous.

You would hope so, but there’s just as many ‘crunchy’ people on the left as there are in the right.

Part of me, as an outsider looking in with abject horror, wants to see this happen just because I still hold out hope that it might finally wake up a not-insignificant part of rural and rust-belt America that live off these benefits (or ‘handouts’ according to the GOP) out of their political stupor.

But on the other hand, I know that once it’s gone, it’s very unlikely to be brought back in the immediate future by the current crop of Dems, who seemingly would rather keep dangling it as a carrot (along with restoring ablation access) in order to entice voter turnout.

With the right level of Government support, bubbles can seemingly go on for literal decades. Case in point, Australian housing since the late 90s has been on an uninterrupted tear (yes, even in ‘08 and ‘20).

Took me a while to find an in, but once I did - it snowballed from there!

The optimist in me would like to think that a significant portion of them would be ‘dead’ emails, as kids would have used cringey addresses like xX_sephir0th_Xx@hotmail.com (I know I did! 😅); but honestly - given how pervasively online Gen Z/A are (and relatively tech illiterate), they’re probably almost all valid addresses.

I mean, if they’re burner email addresses, fake names etc. provided to take advantage of promotions - then it really doesn’t matter.

If anything, it’s a good thing to salt the dataset to make it less valuable to would-be ne’er-do-wells.

I swear I played D2 at 800x600 - was that enabled in the expansion pack?

Honestly, unless people are in their 20s and willing to live out of a van (using a gym for shower etc.); I have no idea how the fuck people are expected to save up enough to buy a home. Shit’s beyond ridiculous.

Yes, sure that 27m people are at risk of dying due to starvation - but won’t someone please think of the poor shareholders of all of those Petroleum companies?!

Yup; RIP to Billie Jean as the first song you hear when you jump into a car for the first time in Vice City.

Yikes; whatever I expected from the remasters - this ain’t it.

The original C&C remaster did a similar graphics upscale, but they at least managed to at least mostly pull it off.

Given they could have potentially rasterised WOW assets to provide a cohesive feel to players, this is just a total ball-drop.

For the most part, those still dying from COVID19 are self-selecting by refusing to keep on top of their vaccine boosters. Ditto for the flu.

I have no sympathy, and the world will be a better place without them.

Say what you will about that Hitler guy - but at least he did do a good thing or two, like killing Hitler!

Not that I’m actually trying to defend MS/Teams (seriously, fuck ‘em both); but this is more due to IT Admin settings.

We have similar in our company, that’s in place because we handle PIR data regularly and it’s meant to be a speed bump rather than full roadblock.

Mentors can be a legitimately good way to progress your career; but 100% of the online mentoring services are bullshit.

Like, for anyone salaried in a corporate environment; pick someone ~3 rings higher than you on the ladder in a seperate department (e.g. Team Lead, Department Head, VP, GM etc.).

They will be familiar enough with the business to provide useful guidance, helping you build up not only your skillset but your professional network. Because, the dirty secret is - after a certain point, it’s not necessarily what you know - it who you know.

I’ve been mulling over this the past few years, having finally kicked the WoW habit in the second year of Shadowlands (approaching ~3 years now)…

…but how often are quests/missions/objectives etc. just a combination of go to x, collect x of y, kill x of y? At a certain point, all of these become generic - right?

Understatement of the decade, IMO!

I’ve barely touched my Steam games library as it is, have just dived headfirst into emulating my retro game collection (PS1, 2, 3 & Portable); along with SNES predominantly - because fuck Nintendo.
