Life lessons. Lol. My entire plot of sabotage can be undone by simply pulling out the cmos battery. But the path it would take to get them to that point is loads of knowledge.

IKR? It’s way more fun to boot to the bios\uefi, adjust their ram and CPU clock speeds way down, then lock the changes behind a security password and just see how long it takes your kid to figure out what the hell is going on with their PC and how they can fix it.

Our generation is the most PC literate generation there is. This comic needed to come out like 25 years ago to be accurate.

In the past this was spot on. By today’s timeframe, your 40 or so year old parents know how to use a desktop PC better than most teens. Late gen X and millennials are the PC savvy ones. Gen Z and A don’t deal as well with using an actual PC.

My fresh beans, burr grinder, espresso machine, scale, and milk frother have proven the facts of science!

It’s also in a very terrible spot for that purpose. It would be very awkward to reach the controls from that angle and where the toilet is at.

Being owned by venture capitalists is pretty much an assurance that they’ll turn it to shit as much as they can get away with. The entire reason people abandoned digg for reddit in the first place was because it was selling out to ad space and shill accounts and manipulation. The venture capitalists will want big returns on their investments.

You know what? I like it, and I’ma start doing it.

Passenger vehicles and homes and most businesses could be covered by solar and wind, but oil will still be used for quite a while for cargo shipping and commercial trucks and things like tires. We could use a lot less, but oil is going to hang around for quite a while. Passenger vehicles account for about 25% of oil used.

Or, I can just not use a program like chocolatey and just go one and done on ninite. Heaven forbid they only have apps on there to choose from that are popular and people want to install. I’ve never had issues with any of the programs being behind on version, but it isn’t like each program can’t check for newer versions of itself

The real mvp comes from one of the best website hosts in the world. If you have to be on windows and especially if you’re setting up a fresh install; use www.ninite.com.

It bypasses all the prompts and warnings and opt in\out prompts of a ton of common programs you’d want to install on your PC into one single and quick install. You check mark each of the programs you want from the list (web browsers, anti virus, video players, etc) and it hands you over a single install file to take care of automatically installing them all at once. Best website their is if you’re a windows user. I’ve counted on this gem for well over a decade. I only have one PC left that I keep windows on now, and I’ll be swapping that over to Linux as well by November this year when windows 10 stops getting security updates.

We had a descrambler filter for Cinemax back in the day. Good times. Skinimax

Really? I’m 42 and had to do this. It didn’t matter if it was cable or antenna or VHS. You only really had to set it once and almost never had to turn the knob again. I’m assuming your parents had done it to the TV and you just never knew. The knobs were usually on the back of the TV or behind a panel where you could adjust things like the color tint.

I usually try to go in pretty much blind to anything I play or watch, but I watched a gaming related YouTube video that flipping ruined what I really would have wanted to not know about undertale.

You’re taking this instance of gamers far too seriously.

Sorry you couldn’t put two and two together in the gamers instance.

Hell. Epic games gave it away for free like a week ago.

My backlog is well over 5 years out. I haven’t gotten up to games from 2020+ yet. Lol.

I’m currently playing “Red Dead Redemption 2” , and “Psychonauts”.

The sentence itself, could be taken either way, but any reasonably intelligent gamer would be able see the list has only games released since 2020 and know which way to take the sentence.

Clicked on steam “parallel story to Undertell”.

Cool. I’ve heard of Undertell before, I should maybe get that first to play. “Click”. “This game is already in your steam library”…
