The Lifeline series from 3 minute games is excellent if you like a twist on choose your own adventure games.

Did you even do your research before writing this, you can’t just write “without prejudice” in red ink, it has to be diagonal to make it legitimate.

That makes a lot of sense, I hadn’t considered that business sellers would still be charged.

It’s the other way around. Nintendo is a law firm with a game dev hobby.

Any info out there on how they actually plan on making money going forwards?

The article talks about other platforms charging a fee to buyers instead but mentions nothing about eBay introducing this.

Are they really making enough from ads on the site and vehicles to replace the lost revenue?

His ex-wife was Connie Booth who played Polly the maid not Fawlty’s wife in Fawlty Towers, she also co-wrote both series with Cleese.

The UK is one of very few places in the world designated rabies free.

The lack of backwards comparability is because of the large difference in architecture.

The PS2 was a128 bit custom processor, the PS3 had PS2 hardware in the original fat versions to achieve backwards compatibility, it was dropped to reduce the price.

The PS3 was a 64 bit (I think) custom PowerPC processor.

With the PS4 Sony switched to x86_64 processors making the console essentially a PC with bespoke custom hardware. The PS5 is the same but better speced components as the tech moved on. That’s why the PS4 & 5 are compatible, they are essentially using the same architecture.

Microsoft is a similar story but they went all in on emulation of their old consoles which is why only certain games are allowed, they only allow the ones tested to work with the emulator.

If you really want to learn something, go learn it. What’s stopping you?

Work.

If I don’t work full time I can’t afford to house or feed myself.

Work wipes me out mentally leaving me no mental bandwidth to spend what precious little time I have left to go learn, even if I want to.

I would love to be able to dedicate time to learning like I did when I was at university but even with the government funding available to me I would have to upend my life.

I do spend time doing learning around things that interest me but it is depressing how little bandwidth work leaves for me to do that.

This reminds me of that scene in one of the Pirates of the Carribbean movies where Davey Jones has to stand in a bucket of water to go on land for a meeting.

Have you tried the shortcuts for the other side of the keyboard

Ctrl + insert = copy

Shift + insert = paste

Shift + delete = cut

I find them much easier to use than the traditional shortcuts.

This actually already exists but it’s quite pricey: https://www.eightsleep.com/uk/pod-cover/

So the main part of a computer that controls everything has a specific set of things it can do. Imagine that each of these things can be triggered by a button on a control panel.

Every company making this part of the computer has their own set of things and layout for the buttons to trigger them and you have to pay them money to learn what the things are and how to press the buttons.

RISC-V offers a set of things and a button layout that the community can freely see and use.

In this example a computer program is just the list of instructions saying which buttons to press in what order.

I love this because it means Picard is even more of a bad ass rebel.
