I've been trying to walk a lot more too, as I've found it's better for my mental as well as physical health.

Have gravitated toward "trail" shoes, for a nice mix of padding and being able to feel the ground.

Current pair are these: https://www.newbalance.com/pd/dynasoft-nitrel-v6-gore-tex-/MTNTRGV6-47467.html

I also hate buying shoes (which is its own whole thing), but have found the people in the sports stores also seem to be monumentally less interested in bugging you compared to a shoe store, so can be left in peace to try some things.

Best of luck on the hunt!

(also if I did my maths right, 5 days * 4.5 miles between Jan 2 and today is damn near 1000km / 600mi, so congrats on that!)

I've done some truly horrible things with it.

Whenever we have big construction projects at work, I export footage from our CCTV system and time-lapse it.

But then one time I wanted to put two videos side by side. Difficulty that they were both variable frame rate (a quirk of the NVR, but meant that played at constant rate they wouldn't line up).

It ended up with 5 copies of ffmpeg running at once. Because the most efficient way to create this monstrosity was 2 copies that stretched their input videos to 25fps (by duplicating frames), piped into two that ran the time lapsing, and both outputs into a 5th that assembled the video into one frame and encoded it.

I think you'd struggle to represent that level of kerfuckery in a GUI, to be honest.

I'd have been pretty happy to be able to update it to fix the dishwasher that came with our house.

It could not, no matter what you did, resume a cycle. If it was paused for any reason, the only way out was to power it off and start a new wash.

The drain pump also sounded like shaking a soup can full of nuts and bolts, which contributed more to it being replaced than did the shonky electronics.

System Collapse is almost a one-and-done move on any enemy, at least at the iconic level. Considering the RAM it consumes you'd bloody well hope so.

But with Blood Pump, Biomonitor and Overclock you can happily take down half a dozen (or more) before you've even poked your head out from cover.

I can guarantee this will be a hilarious shitstorm of false positives wasting IT departments' time, because their detection of it is massively flawed.

At least once a month my - completely stock, and un-rooted - phone tells me I can't use Outlook/Teams because of root. Every time, a reboot is required to resolve this. One one occasion, TWO reboots.

Ignoring whatever reason Microsoft think they're blocking this for, it's going to regularly block regular users, who are not going to stand for it.

And yet somehow despite the lack of horses (I mean I presume) this one manages to pack in 400% more horseshit.

Incredible how that works sometimes.

Well it's that or Beavis... which I like because it means that Butt-Head bat must be out there somewhere.

After the certification training my colleague referred to this as the "forklift snuff film".

Far Cry New Dawn has motorbikes with sidecars, but no straight motorbikes.

Both it, and Far Cry 5 that it is a sequel to also have quad bikes.

Potentially neither of these quite count, for the purpose you're asking the question?

Without having read the article, lemme guess... Electron.

Maybe now that no-one can afford RAM these companies might get motivated to do something about that. Hell, I'd accept them just feeling shamed into not being the worst memory hog on your system at this point, over any altruistic reason.

See also: Discord and Slack, two other colossal wastes of space that use an order of magnitude more RAM than a native app would while running slower and providing absolutely zero other benefits.

The Multipla justifiably gets a lot of hate, but it had great visibility, and seats six (three front seats rather than two).

It really is fugly though.

Back in those (pre-UEFI) days it was quite easy to add GRUB to the Windows boot manager instead.

You'd wind up with a menu entry that Windows would usually leave alone, unlike its aggressive reinstallation overwriting GRUB.

Once UEFI came along, it became easier to give each OS an entire disk with no connections between them, and use the BIOS as the boot menu.

Or, y'know, just give Windows the flick and only run Linux 😉
