Remember when if the GUI had a toggle, it was actually a toggle control and not a button that sort-of-acts as a toggle control?
And remember when, if you clicked that button, it didn’t move out from under your cursor so that if you try to toggle it again, you didn’t actually accidentally click a DIFFERENT button because the button you want moved?
@brunty reminds me of videos I've seen of people driving with their phones or bags on the roof of their car who get shitty when someone tries to point it out. Like this classic https://youtu.be/omET4Qq76_I
For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.
From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."
Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.
What’s up with 19.2 fl oz beer cans? I mean, I like the size, but it’s not an even amount of anything. It equates to 567.81 ml.
Yes, I know American units are wonky, but sometimes they’re weird because they actually equal to an even metric number. For example, they sell 16.9 fl oz water bottles because that’s a half liter.
So, what gives on the 19.2 fl oz / 567.81 ml measurement for these tall cans?
Saw someone say that the more save games you have on a battery-backed cartridge the faster the battery will deplete and I honestly can't tell if they're trying to trick people into wiping their cherished 16-bit era game saves or genuinely believe that. Like, how is that even possible? Whether you're holding a specific flip-flop high or low, doesn't that take the same power? Why am I doubting myself? Intuitively it makes no difference, does it? What the hell? #SRAM#RetroGaming
@afilina I think this is the sort of legend that was passed on from the time period that they were in use. Like blowing on the cart. Like that ET on the 2600 is definitely the worst game. They've not measured it. They've not tested it. There's no logical reason for it. But they just say it anyway. SRAM will use more power as you read and write, but I'm confident that the power draw whilst idle is identical whether holding your saves or not. I mean, what is "no saves"? It's just holding zeros
