I think AC stands for All Clear

I envy you, because my 2019 MBPro has fans always spinning and it seems slow and bugged, especially with the latest macOS.

Maybe I should just try formatting, but I don’t know if it’s worth the hassle.

It’s not a real sauna if it’s less than 80 °C

Italy, Bulgaria, Spain for example. They usually couldn’t care less (unless it’s football/soccer piracy).

Germany, on the other hand, cares a lot. Use a VPN for sure there.

“VPN up” depends on the country. Some countries don’t give a flying fuck, don’t waste money on a VPN if you live in such countries.

I think media piracy is not only acceptable, but something that should be actively promoted by everyone. Piracy is the only way to preserve media for future generations.

I don’t think autorun worked with floppy disks, only with CDs and USB units.

Yes, I remember the guy writing there. That was a serious website! But maybe he sold it to somebody else before Google completely killed their search engine.

Now, if you want to rank well on Google, you either have to churn out stupid articles filled with SEO junk every single day.

I tried in the past, but I think there were problems about the fact that the Windows partition is NTFS, if I recall correctly.

I’d really like to ditch Windows once for all, but I’m sure there’s going to be some games that have problems on Linux.

Italy also has DNS filtering, but they recently added IP blocking for some sports streaming websites. This had terrible consequences

Secrecy and bypassing court orders? It seems like illegal censorship to me.

I mean, macOS is not even 10% and most vendors release apps for it. So this is promising for Linux.

I dual boot. I use Linux most of the time for everything, but I switch to Windows whenever I want to play on Steam. I just don’t have the time to bother with abstractions layers, drivers and whatnot, even if I read that Steam makes it easy to run Windows games on Linux now.

I don’t think feature parity is the only problem here. Power users need information density and quick reactivity, two things that the new settings – with their huge buttons and useless animations – dearly lack.

I wonder if there would be a way to “embed” those old panel applets into the new settings somehow.

And if you can do it, it’s complicated and convoluted. I miss Win32 settings panels, everything was so well organized and simple to manage.

I used to love HowToGeek, but I sadly see that now that’s also enshittified (not the article you linked, but the most recent ones).

It makes sense because “master copy” is the name of the “official” version of something. Nothing to do with slavery by the way.

And I’m proud of it :)

Kagi seems very promising but it’s paid. Most people will never pay for a search engine.
