GeForce 256 on my first Windows computer when I went to college. Before that, I was using motherboard graphics on a series of Macs growing up.

Welcome to the world of Monster Hunter.

The idea was one computer on the LAN would hold the “talking stick” (the token) and transmit whatever data it needed to, then pass the token off to the next computer in the ring. If a computer received the token and didn’t have anything to transmit, it’d just pass on the token. The problem would be detecting when one of the computers in the loop had gone offline or crashed and taken the token with it. After some amount of time with no traffic, some system was responsible for generating a new token and an amended turn order. Similar problems existed when a new computer wanted to get added to the rotation.

Interesting use of terms. In Discworld Dwarven society, being lowborn would be a good thing and while being high born is only one step below surface dweller. The dwarves are ruled by the Low King (or Queen). The lower you are, the deeper you are in the mine, and the more rich and important you must be.

I’m guessing those names come from the very top.

No one’s said pineapple yet? Hawaiian is a staple pizza variety.

It didn’t matter what the question was, Trump kept turning it back to immigration. He’s only got one talking point, and it’s based on fear of the other.

Usually Gwen Shotwell, SpaceX COO, is good at keeping Elon in check and not screwing up SpaceX business. I wonder what happened this time.

I love how, despite Musk’s best efforts, 3/4 of the internet still calls the site Twitter.

The way this usually works out is you loose all the good employees and you’re left with the dregs who were unable to find another remote position in time.

There’s always good old Discord, you just need WiFi.

You may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.

Barbecue sauce

I don’t think it’s going to happen that way. Body cams are needed if you want to record people working in the field, such as police officers, but for people working at a fixed location, an office or factory or what have you, CCTV cameras are cheaper, less intrusive, and harder for a bad actor to screw with by “accidentally” covering their lens or forgetting to turn their unit on.

I am so sad this was Kevin Conroy’s final time voicing Batman. The man deserved to go out on a high note.

I miss the pressure sensitive touch screen my iPhone 7 had. A hard press immediately pulled up the copy / paste menu.

I miss the pressure sensitive my iPhone 5 had. A hard press immediately pulled up the copy / paste menu. I think th

iOS has a non-obvious undo / redo, too. To access the undo menu, shake the phone.

I don’t get why so many people begrudge YouTube for trying make money. They serve up 5TB of video data every second. Somebody’s got to pay for all of that. They know ads suck, that’s why they sell no ad subscriptions.

The needless gaps are there for touchscreen optimization, even on things you never use a touchscreen on, like a desktop OS.
