A university elective, Games programming. Had an open ended "make a game and write report on how it shows the learning outcomes of the unit".

I made a tiny game, just basic triangles shooting squares at each other on the ps1. I developed and tested with an emulator, but to demo for grading I burnt it to a CD and brought in my ps1

Australian here, Melbourne specifically. I have never had to prepay. It's always fill up then go in to pay.

Easy. Release the innocuous ones. And transcribe the incriminating the same way blind people can get descriptions of movies.

Describe the heinous acts, use anonymity for the victims, use the names for everyone else.

In my location in Australia the cost of usage and cost of grid are separated.

I pay roughly 25c kw/h, and each day about $1 for infrastructure. ie whether I use 50kw or 1kw my cost to connect to the grid is the same.

This is for residential, but I presume it may be different for commercial and industrial connections.

John Cullen in his Broomgate series said (and I'm remembering off the top of my head) the best teams might win $150k a season, split between 4 and that's before expenses. So it's not sport you'll get rich even if you're the best.

I upgraded January last year. My only regret now is not getting 64GB of ram

I always find the term eating the onion amusing. Especially as a Australian where we had a conservative Prime Minister bite into and eat a raw onion like an apple.

Reading Moore's paper (which is the reference of the marketing person who coined the term), Moore's law isn't just miniaturisation, it was also an observation that's the economics would improve. ie that building N transistors is cheaper on the next smaller node than the previous.

And without the economics working, the shrinking would never have occurred at the rate it did for so long.

So yes, it getting bigger would be against the spirit of the law.

Nah screw needing adb, that absolutely kills free and open source software stores like fdroid, and fdroid have said as much that Google's then planned signing requirements would lead fdroid to stop.

The only way I'd even be remotely OK with another adb requirement is if

1. it's a requirement to unlock the ability to install unsigned apps, ie it's not to an install an app but set a flag
2. #1 becomes a requirement for Google certification so all manufacturers have to allow it
3. It doesn't cause other types of attestation to fail that we see with unlocked, rooted and third party roms failing certain checks preventing some apps, most commonly banking ones from working

But the comparison is different now, Linux on the desktop is better and Windows is worse.

For example, if you turn off a bunch of telemetry options instead of stopping sending data it stops collecting it. That sounds subtle but it matters. It breaks functionality that has existed for >20 years, simple things like remembering what the last command was in the run dialogue when you open it.

I was on an Intel 7700k. With Windows 10 coming to an end this year my choices were:

A) switch to gaming on Linux B) build a new pc

Given its age I picked b), getting it in January this year. 9800x3d, 32GB ram. It's been 11 months and no regrets.

(I could have gone c) and built a new computer AND switched to Linux, but I often play non steam games and didn't want to deal with WINE myself)

In your opinion what game deserved the best rpg of 2025?
