Because they all died, and then again on the corpse run.

Any company making games where they’re pushing graphics into top graphics card territory for no good gameplay reason can go straight to hell in 2026.

Yeah. I’ve only been a veteran of the process for 20 years - I don’t know a thing about what I’m talking about.

“non-breaking” is a meaningless distinction. What you’re REFERRING to is a “cosmetic” bug, and “cosmetic”, depending on the software and the shop, does NOT mean “acceptable for release”, and FURTHERMORE, this is not a new bug that’s been filed as low priority or will-not-fix, but a REGRESSION because it DID work in the past, which means it’s DOUBLE damning.

I’m not interested in waving around credentials about who knows more about software development - if you work in a shop that doesn’t care about quality, that’s between you and the shop. But if you want to claim that someone at Microsoft said “Yeah, it doesn’t correctly reflect the filename, a critical check to ensure users don’t accidentally delete the wrong file, which is something that’s worked for 30 years” and then signed off on that, instead of the MUCH more likely explanation that NOBODY is looking at ANY of this crap with the detail they should be, I’m afraid I’m going to have to laugh.

To give you an idea, in the XBox division, a division of Microsoft, this would be considered a compliance failure that prevents a game from going gold for launch on the platform, and if caught would cost the developer thousands and weeks to fix before the game could go live because it would necessitate starting the final step of the certification process over again, because EVERY SINGLE TEST has to be run again to ensure JUST this kind of regression doesn’t resurface.

But no - the same company would claim it’s totally acceptable for the operating system that runs bank software because it’s “non-breaking”.

Linux doesn’t charge hundreds of dollars per license to fund the development, rake in billions in profit, and then funnel that money into stock dividends instead of a proper quality assurance team.

It isn’t the details or severity of the break that matters.

It’s that the quality control process is SUPPOSED to catch that, and whatever sorry excuse for a process they’re using now ALLOWED a break that was obvious, visible, and repeatable, inside a critical, core function of the operating system, to make it to the end users, something that should trigger as an immediate, flashing warning light. That means the entire quality control process at the very least is SEVERELY compromised and unreliable, and there could very easily be MUCH more severe vulnerabilities and bugs hiding underneath that AREN’T immediately visible. To anyone who has done any professional development for non-disposable code bases, this isn’t a whisper of a problem - it’s an air horn.

How’s that attempt to get back onto consumers’ good side again going for you, AMD?

Putting it on the dispenser is too much work. Just put it on top and spin a few squares off with your finger in the roll when you need it.

It’s pretty easy to not get caught surveiling customers.

All you have to do is… Not surveil customers.

If you think THAT’S stupid, wait until you see what they start THIS one over.

Only Scout believed in himself.

“See, it’s different from the Chinese social credit system. That one is based upon doing things that are good for society. This one is around doing things that are good for shareholders/capitalism. That makes this one okay.”

When I found out what it meant when other countries have sovereign wealth funds…

I have no idea how most people in America keep convincing themselves they’ve somehow got a good deal.

Can’t have a rainbow without LIGHT

Yeah… I also saw Man in the High Castle.

Sad accuracy noises

Right back to the store then.

Fuck around and get a charge back.

Not if you do it on a data center construction site, make it look like a homicide, and stop the construction until the investigation completes.

Instead of buying and selling futures you have to get into the pasts market.
