Agreed. They could just drop the "of" and make it more elegant and just as clear, imo.

Crime, penetration, crime, penetration, crime, full penetration.

Doom 1 is the one that will always hold a place in my heart. The family PC back then only ran at 25MHz and Doom required 33 so my Dad would bring his work laptop home for me to play on. No headphones but it didn't matter, it was such an impactful experience for me as a kid and I'll always remember it fondly.

I got to meet Jon Romero a few years back too - they say you shouldn't meet your heroes but he is definitely an exception. Super nice dude and he blocked out a full hour on his calendar to just chat with me.

I think that's a great metaphor and great advice. When it dawned on me that I don't have to react it was actually quite relieving. It's never easy, but it doesn't have to be so hard.

I've come across a few sites that require one upper case, one number and one symbol (from a short list). Not at least one of each, no no, precisely one of each. One site even forced the password length to be exact -_-

I once had a user whose PC would freeze every time they tried to see their desktop. Like, you minimise something full screen and the PC would freeze for a few minutes and crawl while the desktop was in view.

Turns out they had more than 4,000 items on their desktop.

That day I learned where Windows puts icons that don't fit on the desktop (it stacks them all on the first icon's place, lol). And this wasn't even the problem they called about! They were just grumpily blaming Microsoft and working around it for years.

I guess my point is computer illiterate/belligerent people will find a way around the problems they cause and just blame something/someone else.

Just think about the potential, any combination of fruits could be a controller. This could spell the end of non-produce controllers.

He's acting like they're trying to shut him down whereas in reality they want him to stop using their trademarks.

This is only news because he's got a big social media following.

You can't use trrademarks of other companies without their permission, who knew 🤷‍♂️

How is your deliverability? I've heard private servers are often blocked outright by the big providers but don't have any first hand experience with it myself.

Yes and I imagine it has "Your princess is in another castle" printed on it.

This is a terrible summary and barely makes sense.

The article isn't long and it's worth reading.
