I miss CRT monitors in text mode with the field in “idle CRT screen” black and the text in cyan

Dark mode tries, but always goes for maximum contrast

But that makes sense for mushrooms. The bulk of the fungus lives in that spot underground, you’re just hoping it survives and fruits again

I play freeciv (an open source civ 3.5 clone) much more often than civ 5 which I bought. I’ll agree with you. Newer civ isn’t all that attractive.

As

That looks like an oddly capitalised “as”

That really gives the reason it’s acceptable to use apostrophes when pluralising that sort of case

We have a clean desk policy at my workplace too, we also don’t take classified documents home

We need to provide a photo of our home work area as part of our application for work from home. It’s needed as part of the employer’s duty of care - managers are supposed to examine the photo and determine its a safe work area

Really all that happens is a photo is attached to the application and never looked at

I doubt American employers have any duty of care towards work from home employees.

I bet the unblurring was about being able to see the documents. AI blur is pretty aggressive at blurring anything that isn’t a face

They might be able to see if the data indicates the network has been though NAT (network address translation) twice, but that would look just like someone who has plugged their own wifi box into the modem

There’s always NAT. You get one IP address, your router/wifi shares the network using NAT

But ISPs aren’t looking for NAT, since everyone with wifi is using it

Were Firefox to go bad, we would use a non-bad fork off Firefox. It’s open source.

Inflation would be heavy in that system

Do you think in whole stone, or fractions? It seems a rather large unit

Ovens: the YouTuber Atomic Shrimp just had his kitchen rebuilt and he noted that his new oven had the temperature control set 90° when pointed right, 180° when pointed down, 270° when pointed left - you rotated the knob the number of angular degrees you wanted in Celcius degrees. He noted that the fahrenheit version wouldn’t be able to do that

Australia is very metric. Though our 25mm water fittings will fit with pre-metric inch fittings (and likewise for all of plumbing)

We have pints in beer glasses, regionally have to specify British pints due to some places having a metric pint a fair bit smaller

I’m sure the UK kept their road speeds and distances in miles because they couldn’t see how you could calculate your mileage otherwise

Lucky kids

Do you mean that you don’t like the way they prefer to defend individuals against corporations rather than the other way around, or the way they don’t help people defend themselves against lawful and reasonable government action?

Disney will happily spend a million to defend against 50k if they have a chance of getting a court decision that their contract is valid for everything associated with the Disney brand

I’m 47, and the early games for me were clear. Five year olds don’t get to play arcade machines in 1982, but they do get to play an older relative’s game and watch

And that stuff is memorable

I doubt the post iPad (maybe the post home computer) people have much chance though. 3 year olds have games made for them, though they’re in this thread, naming popular games

Octopus on a Nintendo game and watch (though it’s hard to put things in order, I had a knockoff portable game in 1987 “submarine battle”, and I feel the Nintendo has to be earlier, or what else could the knockoff be knocking off? Yeah game and watch was 1980 onwards)

Their method is “imagine a clock face showing that hour” how are you going to do that if you don’t know how analogue clocks work?

Loads of places round working time to whole quarter hours
