I was making fun of the fact that he thought 32 was pro. I slam into the 64gb limit on my laptop daily.

I have 64GB in my Thinkpad P71. I got it ~2 years ago. Why so much ram? I make money with this beast. How's your Starbucks?
Latency! Lack thereof, actually. I bought an Ipad just to be able to use them. My second Apple product. The first was a Macintosh SE. That says something.
Re:The Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline on Tuesday March 31, 2020 @11:35PM (#22745388)
I doubt this.

"After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline."

It seems to have been a problem for some time.

1.) When did you graduate? 2.) How has employment been? Not snark; genuinely curious.
Furthermore, if you're watching from within Firefox you can lock the screen without the video stopping.
Welcome back to Firefox all!

We're talking about IBM here. It's "System Z."

Their "backups" were both online and on the same network. Lol. There's a reason tapes still exist.
I wouldn't even bother mentioning X86(64) in the context of RISC-V. When RISC-V becomes financially viable for manufacturers they'll switch. Cost alone is enough to justify the change. Most of the innovation happening these days is in the mobile sector with mobile devices replacing more and more of the average consumer's computing needs. This alone has made for some pretty nimble software already. Every device sold with one of those ARM-based processors has an Arm holding "tax." ALL vendors are happy to not pay that tax and will be even happier to have nothing to do with ARM Holdings at all (I've heard they're shit to work with). Arm and RISC-V are both RISC architecture; not hard for software to switch. What happens in the mobile sector will trickle down to the rest of the tech industry. Microsoft has even embraced RISC with Windows on snapdragon devices. I doubt the consumer will even notice a difference.

I think the "awkward conversations" are already over:

Hello fellow dex user. I had the same experience with firefox and discovered a "solution" - DEX developer mode [1].

Yeah, zooming is a fucking mess. To zoom in firefox, doubleclick the mouse, and while HOLDING ON THE SECOND CLICK you can move the mouse up and down to zoom. Neither control +/- and control + scroll wheel work.

Selecting text: click on a word and hold the mouse button down. This works exactly like long-pressing on a touchscreen and getting the text select pop-up.

Shout-out to them for not backing down when publishing Bunnie Huang's "Hacking the Xbox." Even MIT refused to have his back.
That's your fault for not using uBlock Origin.
They've been shit for a while now. Switch to imgur and be done with it.

If you use UblockOrigin this is already an option in settings under "3rd-party filters."
