Pretty sure you have another device registered with Authenticator here, and it is asking you to verify against that.

It would be bad if somebody could just steal your username/password and then register their own MFA, right?

I get the joke, but did the person writing this have a stroke halfway through writing it?

Honestly I'm actually a little happy about this. I feel Mozilla needs to focus on its core job of advancing its browser and web standards so we don't get stuck with Chromium-only world (like when us old timers had to deal with Internet Explorer holding the majority market share).

These side projects like running VPN services and social networks may have the best intentions but have had to pull from their limited resources. I would prefer they get spun off as separate projects instead of pulling resources from the parent company.

One of the rare times when I feel the Hololive girls did this joke better....

The best DMs are the ones that can adapt and come up with stuff on the fly. The only guaranteed thing is that the players are idiots and will try and punch a NPC in the tavern on day 1.... throwing your well planned story out the window.

The comic is about RAM, not storage. The 2600 was unique in that it had no RAM and needed to process everything in-between each scan line on the same chip.

The fact that this is Gene Wilder immediately gets my approval. The Tim Burton / Johnny Depp version of this comic just didn't hit the same. 😑

I've seen the same thing. Seems like the new behavior is to just let me login, play, and it will get what it needs in the background and automatically update on next launch.

Makes sense not to bother me to update a 0.1 release change after launch (unless it's urgent) when I just want to play Tetris.

Isn't this the same behavior web browsers use? Background download and update on next launch?

Not complaining, I prefer this update cycle as default.

Please don't use that guide. That's the old 2.x line of SteamOS which hasn't been updated since 2019 and is based on a very old version of Debian. The SteamOS that the deck uses is 3.x and has also moved from Debian to Arch. Valve really needs to update that page.

If you want to build your own SteamOS machine, take a look at something like HoloISO (https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso) which is built on the current branch of SteamOS with the deck-exclusive OS/hardware items swapped out for standard kit.

While Crystal Dynamics didn’t specify which content it’s referring to, it’s speculated that it could be the animalistic depiction of Pacific Island natives in Tomb Raider 3, who are implied to be cannibals.

Like the fictional Indiana Jones style villages? Or the real life North Sentinel Island Sentinelese? I'm scratching my head too...

Too bad with Apple, all browsers are just Safari under the hood with a different skin. One of the biggest reasons I can't switch to IOS.

Not today and hopefully never for general forum purposes. Worse case, you get somebody that necros an old post akin to responding to an old email chain, or replying to an old forum thread. Usually not a big deal but sometimes it also sparks new discussions if that post/thread had some meaningful content.

Edit: Actually I think @[email protected] had the best idea. Would be a great option depending on the forum / poster's need. There are some good reasons when you want to "mark a thread as closed"... like bug reports, project tasks, etc. But I feel the default behavior should be to keep post / threads open.

I'm trying to remember when I last had a real "free trial" and not these "give me your credit card subscription scams". A bonafide "try our thing for real" situation made me buy it.

Free food or drinks for sure. Maybe a newspaper or magazine when I was a kid?

I mean, that is a solid 5/7 desert they put together!

As a fiber tech, I'm going to borrow this description when I get asked what my job is to my non-tech friends & acquaintances.

And if I get asked what that means, I'll simply wink and smile 😉

Yep. Forever immortalized as one of the original Internet memes, in a good way too.

Just out of curiosity I ran it to TinEye and it goes as far back as 2011!

Now I feel old.
