Lol, did you watch the updated video? The only thing he got wrong really was that you don’t necessarily need to fill the dispenser, depending on how hard your water is. The rest of the advice remains the same.

Yep, the video (or possibly the follow up video? don’t remember) goes into this. I’m in a very hard water area, so we fill it, but you’re right, it should depend on hardness.

Which incidentally, is another reason tablets suck.

Posting this as a top level comment as well for visibility.

The tablets are a scam.

Ridiculously detailed video about them here.

The TL;DW is: use powder over tablets, and fill both the main detergent section AND the prewash section (or just throw a little extra powder in loose)

Also, run the hot water before turning it on

This tbh. The tablets are a scam.

House flipper, The Sims, Planet Zoo/Planet coaster, Two Point Hospital/Campus, or anything in the creative management genre. Stardew Valley is good, and in the same vein, Graveyard Keeper.

If you have a Switch, Animal Crossing

If she likes Factorio, try Terra Nil maybe?

Also, there’s always minecraft in peaceful mode?

Exactly this. It’s a terrible, outdated story that essentially sells “staying together for the kids.” The whole way through we were both like “ye these two need to get divorced.” The book is a villain.

Eta: game play was fun though

This is basically my assumption whenever I hear “CEO X says RTO is the bestest thing.” My first thought is always “I wonder how much money CEO X has in commercial real estate”

So this is anecdotal I know, but I work on a Mac, so I’ve only ever held on to Windows for gaming. (Sidenote: The Mac isn’t my choice, either, but it has a terminal, and it does the job)

I’ve definitely tried to go fully Linux in the past, but it was always gaming that killed it for me. Wine was just never very consistent for me in this area.

Long story but, I recently lost my gaming machine, and was gifted a friends old one. Also a long story, but he ended up putting Linux on it for me. I figured I’d use it as is until payday before buying a key for Windows.

Holy shit gaming on Linux become has easy! Steam/proton is amazing!

I won’t lie, it’s not always as simple as install and run, but the tweaking that’s been required has been orders of magnitude simpler than what it used to be. Click a box 90% of the time, Click a box and add a run parameter for another 5%.

The only games that haven’t worked for me are Starfield and Cyberpunk (accounting for the last 5%.)

Starfield might just be too much for this old machine, but Cyberpunk I have no idea. Neither are a huge loss to me when Balders Gate, and Elite Dangerous are running fine. Also long standing favourites like Just Cause 3/4 work perfectly too.

I’m thrilled and a little shocked to say I think I’m finally done with Windows

One day only! Trust me, you can’t smell old socks but everyone else can! They also make your shoes stink. In the same vein, never wear closed shoes without socks unless you want them to be eternally smelly

I use DDG when coding and generally find it to be a bit nicer, but from the article it sounds like they’re prone to the same issues. Anecdotally, I have noticed non-code queries do seem to be similarly crap

ETA: You can set it as default in Chrome too, under Settings -> Search Engine

What is everyone else using instead?

Vasectomy BEFORE kids

Lol, you’ve made some assumptions there. It’s not a Nintendo product. Nintendo would NEVER release any kind of flash cart themselves, as they’re begging to be used for pirated games.

Everything you’ve said about game carts are basically why we’ll never see an officially licensed product like this from Big N themselves.

With that in mind, it still makes no sense as a product because you can run games off the SD card already (I assume. Very out of touch with Switch hacks)

I’ll take “Unethical accounting” for 500, Alex

Fine but, is Pluto role playing a dog, or is Goofy role playing a human?

In my opinion this is the best outcome. The technology is not ready, and it’s potential for abuse is far greater than it’s potential for good at present. It needs another 10 years minimum to ensure it can at least be controlled to some extent. Breaking these models is trivially easy at the moment.

Microsoft won’t put it on ice, but maybe they’ll fuck it up badly enough that people will forget about it for a while. We’re currently at the “VR in the 80’s” point in the journey, imo.

Lol, you can dream, just don’t pre-order.

Edit: actually, going to expound on this. I predict the following:

An initially buggy, but impressive engine with a mediocre, and probably too short single player story that will be overshadowed by always online crap that you can’t turn off. There will be one or two missions that are news-worthily provocative in some way, featuring overly graphic sex and/or really REALLY violent. You’ll probably have the option to play it in co-op mode. It will ship with online multi-player. will have game breaking micro transactions from the start, and the online space will be utterly toxic from day 1. They will milk this engine for the next 20 years until it (and we) beg for death. You will be able to dance. Like in fortnite, dance.

Willing to throw my hat into the ring here and say that I haven’t even bought it yet because I know my pc can’t handle it. I will wait for performance patches (or look at finally upgrading my 5 year old pc)

I also think they’ve done everything right. They called it out BEFORE release, but released anyway for the subset of players who can play, with the promise of improving it for the rest.

The ones who can play it got lucky, the ones who can’t and are all pissed about it are the same ones who would be bitching if it got delayed.
