Parallax, to nostupidquestions in When will the floss stop hurting
Parallax avatar

Try a waterpik, or just go easier on yourself. Also grandma is right, flossing is really good for you and will improve your oral health a lot. I floss basically after every time I eat, it's just automatic and feels so good to have clean teeth

Nestlé does indeed suck. Here's a list of their properties if anyone wants to join:

Why are they cowards? Why would they care if it doesn't affect their daily lives? Obviously some people care, but the majority would indeed just shrug and go back to making ends meet.

Parallax, to Windows9x in The History of Windows Millennium

Haha, nice. It's a bummer Me was so poorly supported. On the right hardware I heard it was decent, but kinda like the new driver model launched with Vista, a lot of OEMs didn't properly spec their stuff or supply correct drivers.

A handful of Me users bought good, supported hardware and had a nice time in the OS, but I was not one of them.

Yep lol. Me was very much so a stop gap release. XP was already in development, trying to merge the NT core from Win2k with the home user updates that shipped with Me. Me was only around for about a year before XP launched.

Parallax, to tech in Is it normal for the monitor to change setting (refresh rate) in exactly 6 seconds?
Parallax avatar

Is it only when you turn the PC on? I have to imagine it's Arch initializing everything, and probably isn't unusual to run at a default refresh (60Hz) before getting the graphics driver loaded and switching settings.

Parallax, to nostupidquestions in What makes fishing as a hobby so appealing that people will fish all hours of the day and in nasty weather?
Parallax avatar

Beautiful reply, thank you. Makes me want to try fishing again. I haven't gone out since I was a kid fishing with my dad and his friends.

Parallax, to gaming in After five years in early access, Satisfactory will finally launch into 1.0 later this year

EXCITED. Even Update 3 was completely fun and enjoyable to play. I've been putting off playing again because there were so many breaking changes in the later updates.

Parallax, to tech in IPv4 address rentals to mint millions of dollars for AWS
Parallax avatar

I'm for it if it actually increases adoption. IPv6 has its flaws but it's better than layers and layers of IPv4 NAT.

I've been mostly hanging out on XP lately, setting up a new P3-S + Quadro rig. I miss 98 though, it's a lot comfier feeling.

Wild to think about, especially since the very first HTTP webserver was a black NeXT cube!

Parallax, to tech in “AI” Hurts Consumers and Workers -- and Isn’t Intelligent

Honestly, as long as they attribute the text to "ChatGPT" or similar, that'd be fine with me. I may or may not read it, but at least be transparent. And at least please deal with the repercussions of firing your staff for the hype.
