Those companies paid to have their buttons on the remote. Your TV manufacturer is not going to threaten their sponsorship deal by letting you use those buttons for anything else.

42, of course.

The question has been answered, but How Stuff Works has a good article which goes into detail.

It’s on Usenet. Only in Swedish though, and only Swedish subs.

A bit of context here.

I’m playing it now, I haven’t noticed any serious glitches. Also, the game asked me to sign-in to the Playstation Network when I first started it up, I said “nope” and it hasn’t bothered me since.

Edit: Ok, scratch the part about not running into glitches. Just within the past five minutes the right trigger has stopped registering twice and I’ve had to restart the game to get it to come back.

Come on over to fedia.io. It’s like kbin.social but works.

Plex is fine but they have snitched on users in certain situations

Can you cite any examples? I’ve been using Plex for over 10 years and while I’ve heard plenty of conspiracy theories along these lines I’ve never seen any actual evidence of it happening.

I buy manufacturer refurbished drives from serverpartdeals.com. They come with a 2 year warranty but I’ve never had a problem with any of them.

Reminds me of a setup I had for local serial multiplayer on my Atari ST. I had cable going from the ST’s 25 pin serial port to a 9-pin connector, a gender changer, a null modem module, then 9-pin back to 25-pin. But hey, it worked.

No, it’s a custom AMD x86-64 chip.

I just sit around in my bathrobe until I’m dry enough to put on clothes.

There was a retail chain called Christmas Tree Shops, and while they weren’t exclusively Christmas-themed, it was certainly a part of their brand. I recently learned they closed all stores after over 50 years in business.

USB prior to version 3 and the type C connector only supplied 5 volts. 5.25" hard drives need 12 volts. No amount of powered hubs or higher wattage PSUs will change that.

… No. USB hard drive adapters come with their own power supplies if they’re intended for 5.25" drives.

If the drive is spinning when the USB is not plugged in then it’s clearly being powered by a separate power supply. Besides, 5.25" hard drives cannot be powered by USB, powered hub or not.

Bit depth and bit rate are not the same thing.

I’m all-in on Steam, but I like that GOG exists and I hope it sticks around.

It’s basically modern XCOM set in the 40k universe, with the ship management from Battletech thrown in.

As is tradition.
