Syke!

And where a typo can cause a catastrophic outcome

No, that ain’t the way to be. I like when the world has a diversity of cultures. For my own selfish reasons I’m glad english is the global lingua franca as people’s second language, but i want other cultures to continue thriving.

What character is that on the right?

I think it’s intentional. It’s a deep fried meme effect

iirc they said they weren’t selling at a loss, but that’s not the same thing as selling at a low margin. PC manufacturers have to make essentially 100% of their profit from the initial sale of the device, but valve can make a smaller profit from the sale of each device because they know each device will lead to additional profit through game purchases

And also cheaper because steam expects to make additional money on each user in the future via steam purchases, so they can keep the margin smaller in the hardware price

Great list! And according to your list I’m right. BBSes aren’t internet, and usenet is a synonym for newsgroups

It’s old but it’s not even close to the OG. I believe the OG is newsgroups, and after that was p2p file sharing apps like limewire and napster, and only then did torrenting become a big thing

It’s not cringy at all

Just because a writer isn’t consciously aware of doing it intentionally doesn’t mean it wasn’t part of the process that happened in their brain

Correct, it was the built it disk utility app on Mac. I had a giant drive with a few partitions and clicked to do a zero pass and it finished in a half second. Obviously there was no way it completed that fast. I did some empirical testing based on completion time and sure enough it only zeroes a single partition rather than the entire disk

I’ve found that on some systems and some utility apps, if there are partitions present then doing a zeroing pass only zeros the partition rather than the entire drive itself

If it’s a spinning disk hard drive then do a low level format i.e. do a security write zeros on the whole disk (be sure to delete all partitions first). This will try to write a zero to every single sector, and any bad sectors will be removed from use.

So he wants a man who’s either thin, muscular, or neither, and who’s also hairy, hairless, or neither. Sooooo, that’s every man

Just looking to learn, who told you that?

Haha TIL!

I wonder if there’s some sort of oil you can pour over it so the scent molecules can’t escape into the air

Wait what? Like you poo in a bucket inside your house?
