This comic is likely a decade old at this point, most average people would have just used AI.

And yes, vintage gaming is very much a thing, and is pushing vintage hardware into nosebleed territory. Ten years ago you couldn’t give away a 36″ Sony Trinitron CRT TV. These days you have gamers offering up to $500 for it just to be able to play Duck Hunt (which requires a CRT TV in order for the guns to work). Same goes for the machines and consoles as well… just saw a Commodore Vic-20 on FB Marketplace for $200CAD, and that was just for the bare unit, no extras.

    The difference—for better or worse—is that Apple’s using your own machine instead of their servers.

    And this is why I trust Apple the most out of all the big corps.

    I mean, I still don’t trust them very much, but as a large corp they have demonstrated the fewest and least damaging psychopathic/abusive behaviours against users.

    That may improve things, but doesn’t the stock of the gun still have to be against the shoulder? That’s where most of the problems occur. My heart is wobbling my torso, not my hands or arms.

    I mean, I can keep my arms and hands totally still, but when I lean into the weapon, it’s my shouder that transmits my heartbeat’s wobbling of my torso into the weapon. Without stopping my heart entirely - something I hope you can understand that I am loathe to do - I don’t really see a solution.

    It’s not a matter of trembling or shaking from nerves or inexperience. It’s literally my heartbeats wobbling my torso once I am fully calm and still.

    There is no solution to this other than stopping my heart, and I tend to be vociferously against that idea.

    I love how the font choice, colour palette, and clip art flowers strongly suggest a design date several decades before the first “baby on board” placards were ever created.

    Take a zero off there, bud.

    Base power draw of a current i7 14700K under load is typically around 120/125W.

    Full power draw in maximum turbo mode (PL2) is 250W.

    Ignorance doesn’t survive long in the face of manufacturer specifications.

    you can have wpa2 and wpa3 on the same radios.

    IME this caused all clients to disconnect and cease being able to auth. I just don’t run mixed auth for that reason.

    2.4Ghz/W.G has WPA2 and 5Ghz/W.N/W.AC has WPA3. That’s what works for me on my LinkSys WRT 3200AC.

    They still make use of desktop CPUs that can pull 120W and up to 250W under heavy loads. So light on power? Maybe. But power sippy? Not against an M4 Mac, which can be as little as ⅙ as much under a similarly heavy load.

    Yeah, but this is Rust, not some single-dev pet project. You would expect a fully fleshed out framework to have accessibility features built in as first-class features, not some randomly bolted-on afterthought.
