The first GPU in the sense that they were the first ones to call it a GPU rather than an accelerator. By that logic the iPhone was the first device to have “apps” since they coined the term “app”. No other device before it had apps.

If this were the case then “I fucked your dad” would be just as common an insult, with all the same connotations.

Australia uses kilopascals rather than PSI. Our standard is 500kPa which works out at around 72 PSI.

The OP is re-tooting a toot of a screenshot of a tweet. My (mild) criticism isn’t aimed at OP, nor the OP of the OP, just the original Twitter OP. No one was “blasted” but even if they were, the Twitter OP is not likely to see my comments and have a bad case of the sads from it.

It wouldn’t have been installed at all if the OP did their job properly and had set the one config option. Microsoft doing shady things is hardly news. That’s why a good Windows sysadmin keeps and eye out for this sort of stuff.

Like I said, Microsoft shouldn’t do that crap. BUT the co-pilot setting has been around for 6 months. Long enough for any halfway decent sysadmin.

There is one GPO to disable co-pilot. One. It’s not even hard to find and has been available for more than 6 months.

And yes I would absolutely expect someone whose job it is to manage Windows servers to know about it. And certainly, I would expect them to look it up before declaring to the world how bad at their job they are.

This stuff always makes me laugh. Firstly, yes absolutely, Microsoft shouldn’t do this sort of crap. But more importantly, the person complaining about it here is shouting out for the world to hear “I don’t know how to manage Windows servers properly!”. There is one single group policy setting that stops this from happening. A single, set-and-forget GPO. Anyone managing Windows environments that isn’t aware of this, shouldn’t be managing Windows environments.

A 12m stainless steel pedestrian bridge that took 6 years to make and was subsequently “strengthened” to meet safety requirements. Not quite the same thing.

The whole thing is a storm in a teacup. I’m level 40 in the game and have not once felt the need to even LOOK at the MTX store. The game is complete; the MTX are there if you’re too lazy to be bothered using the in-game travel mechanics. Simple as that.

MotoGP 25?! Inconceivable.

That’s surprising. After they made MotoGp 20, MotoGp 21, MotoGp 22 and MotoGp 23, I was sure they weren’t going to make a MotoGp 24.

It’s a bit harsher than “Pom” and is rarely used in a positive way, unlike Pom which can be an insult or a term of endearment. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Seppo used in a positive way, now that I think of it.

Yes but of course no one wants a clunky-ass 2kg ThinkPad with a 1080p screen. They want a Yoga or Surface Pro. I would like to see you install additional anything in one of those!

An E15 in my country costs $1200 with 8GB soldered-on RAM. Not sure if it has a second memory slot, although I would assume so. But the screen is crap and they weigh twice as much.

Also - who is buying enterprise equipment from Amazon?

I take it you don’t know much about enterprise IT. I guarantee most businesses are running 8-16GB as standard. Where I live an 8GB laptop costs $1400, the equivalent with 16GB costs $1900. And to get 32GB you’re looking at an additional $1600.

You’d read the labels of whatever the hell was within reach. Shampoo bottle, toilet cleaner bottle, soap, whatever.

I wish. The DJ would always talk over the start of the songs, and then start jabbering again before it ended.

Headline is a smidge misleading. “PC gaming has a larger revenue than console gaming in the US” is more accurate. It’s certainly not true in other parts of the world.

American football is (semi-)frequently called gridiron in Australia. I’d say most people would know what sport you meant if you called it that.

We usually call soccer, soccer but soccer nerds and those with close English heritage will call it football to feel superior.

And if you read the other half of the sentence you quoted?
