They probably use the proprietary Face Off ™ technology.

I believe the previous post was talking about Wake on LAN (WoL) and Wake on WLAN (WoWLAN) which are separate things.

Civ 3 was the first game in the series that didn’t feel like a big improvement (graphics aside of course). but you always love your first Civ.

I had that game for the Atari 2600 and unlike E.T, it was a great game.

I still have my copy in my own little museum in my office with some of my favorite (or in this case most notorious) games. Does that count?

My high school and middle school (they were right next to each other and shared buses) started at 7:15 AM, half the year it was dark when the bus picked us up and we lived in the far south where days didn’t get super short. It was bullshit then and it is bullshit now. It was nice to get out of school before 2PM I guess.

Yeah, I’m a little jealous of that cool ass setup. I used to have something like it, though not as nice.

I like that “Name” was on there. You know, in case he forgets.

I bought one of these for my wife and we she has unfortunately had to switch back to her other phone due to some bugs. It seems to fail to be able to make phone calls or maintain bluetooth connections frequently. She has never had an issue receiving calls though. I’m still working on trying to find a solution for her because her old phone is a Pixel 6a which Google just nerfed the battery into oblivion like they did my 4a. I swear they have it out for us.

Gross.

Glad to hear that they just rolled with it.

I have seen Gwar live more than any other band (well over ten times), and it was always a good time. I haven’t seen them since Oderus (Brockie) died though, but their new lead singer was the original Beefcake, so I’d still like to go again if I can.

It was truly wild to meet him briefly at Defcon after years of seeing “FREE KEVIN” and such.

This is true because Linux users know that daemons are something that you can rein in and perhaps restart on occasion.

I am also a big fan of the MX518 lineage mice, so I hope someone make a version that has that shape. When Logitech released an updated MX518 several years back I bought a couple of them, so I will be good for years hopefully.

Many liquor brands have a sailor/pirate theme. I never saw the appeal personally, but I guess it just plays off the stale “sailors drink a lot, amirite?” meme.

My new home was built in the 50s and the biggest take away was “whoa, all the rooms are separate!” It’s glorious.

As if I don’t have a stash of previously reinvented wheels to choose from in my personal code. Buuuut, who can resist reinventing the wheel for the 25th time?

I’m surprised they had to outsource that as they have been producing so much shit for decades.

I was just coming to comment exactly this. Well done.
