Jokes aside, we italians do actually drink Moscato d'Asti with cakes or pastry on good occasions. It's not a regular wine, it's a highly sweet one, which we drink either alongside another sweet food (again, cakes, pastry, sometimes even Pandoro, but it's much less common with Panettone), or alone.

(Certainly not with Cap'n Crunch tho, but if that's your thing, Moscato d'Asti is the one)

What if you have a system that just works and you can't break?

No rsync, no remoting from work (vpn or other software et al), no "i gotta be on alert for when my kid breaks my computer again"

Also, why do we have to shame people for just wanting to use their computer?

Just took a test out of curiosity, but the result screen is much different.

Disclaimer: Don't take too much of the score for granted, the test isn't that comprehensive, and just by knowing basic math and intermediate logic you may reach a similar score.

Prey 2017.

Such an underrated game on its own.

The ambient is so immersive to me, both indoors and outdoors, so many details, being able to interact with so many objects in so many ways, even the Looking Glass, I just wish it lasted much more... the ending was however quite disappointing in all aspects, especially from the story perspective and in the "I wanted more" perspective.

Honestly, given that they should be purely compressing data, I would suppose that none of the formats you mentioned has ECC recovery nor builtin checksums (but I might be very mistaken on this). I think I only saw this within WinRAR, but also try other GUI tools like 7zip and check its features for anything that looks like what you need, if the formats support ECC then surely 7zip will offer you this option.

I just wanted to point out, no matter what someone else might say, if you were to split your data onto multiple compressed files, the chances of a bit rotting deleting your entire library are much lower, i.e. try to make it so that only small chunks of your data is lost in case something catastrophic happens.

However, if one of your filesystem-relevant bits rot, you may be in for a much longer recovery session.

I'd understand if it wasn't a game developer, but this looks like a clear case of piggybacking.

Also, fuck gambling.

What doesn't make sense?

A VPN is, in simple terms, just a network connection that goes through someone else's modem.

All of that is normal for a VPN:

  • You depend on their paid service
  • You depend on their network availability
  • Basic data reporting enabled by default (which you can opt out of)

I got burned way too many times thanks to SD cards, one time I had a very good SD card fail way too early and can't trust them anymore since then.

If I was supposed to do something like this, I'd consider using a SATA disk with an adapter.

It almost feels like plausible deniability like No, mr. Amazon, we didn't tell the customer how they should refund this item.

Can we please focus on actual user experience?

Firefox is the only major browser without HDR support on Windows...
