And YouTube music which honestly seems to do the heavy lifting on the value equation.

You already paid for an extended support contract?

Use a systemd timer to send yourself a reminder. Discoverd them recently myself and honestly liking them more than cron.

I mean the last 4 English month names are basically <#>month, but never got updated when the Romans switched from a 10 month calendar to a twelve month calendar. The suffix -ber comes from the latin word for month, with the prefix being the Latin number Septem = 7, Octo = 8, Novem = 9, Decem = 10. The two new months (January and February) were inserted at the start of the year throwing the naming off by 2.

July and August were originally called Quintilis and Sextilis so the 5th and 6th months and renamed after the calendar change, to honour Julius and Augustus.

I mean depending on the country you almost certainly learnt to drive in a roundabout (quadrupley so if you were learning in Milton Keynes)

I’m fairly sure they want to, they keep trying to kill off the standalone version but always seem to keep giving it a reprieve.

In addition to the exclusives issue, the client and store were not particularly well made and were missing pretty standard features stuff like no shopping cart so if you wanted to buy multiple games at the same time you had to do them as separate purchases and stuff like wishlisting.

I remember Valve got quite a bit of dislike when they first introduced Steam as a requirement to play Counter Strike Source and HL2 (of course back then it was only for Valves own games).

I don’t run my car indoors because generally it doesn’t fit through the door.

It’s more they are focused on running ASP and CLI apps on Linux, there is no official MS GUI library/framework for Linux which is one big thing missing from modern .net, there are a couple of thrid party ones like Avalonia however.

Now if only they would add Linux support to MAUI.

I know the meme is Ted Cruz being the Zodiac killer, but are we sure it isn’t actually RFK Jr?

The transition to the Manifest V3 framework means extensions like uBlock Origin can’t use remotely hosted code. According to Google, it “presents security risks by allowing unreviewed code to be executed in extensions.” The new policy changes will only allow an extension to execute JavaScript as part of its package.

Is this a badly worded paragraph, but is uBlock Origin really using remotely hosted code? I thought it was a different restriction in manifest V3 that stops as blockers being effective.

My polling station is the village pub

Probably basically commercial displays but I wonder if it’s possible to buy TVs aimed for guest rooms in hotels?

If I had to guess, seeing that number change might be an indication that that contacts account might be compromised. So if you see your contacts number of linked devices increase you could ask them about it through another channel/irl and confirm if it was them who linked it.

Of course they are claiming oh no we won’t be going subscription only, but if history is to be believed, give it a year or two and see that stance change.

Hasn’t it always needed that? I remember having to do it shortly after launch.

I mean as much as I like the Concorde, I really don’t see commercial supersonic flights being a major success, it might be of some use on certain long fight routes that are mostly over water.

But it’s going to have the same problems that were the nails in the coffin for Concorde, too noisy to fly over populated areas, high running/maintenance costs, low passenger capacity and reasonably small market.

Given the rise of the internet there’s even less need to just pop over to the US and back for the day which was some of the market for Concorde. The environmental impact of a commercial supersonic aircraft would also be under significant pressure. A lot of the current improvement in jet engines for commercial flight has been how to make them more efficient.

Fairly sure the thermostat in my European house is in fact a thermostat. AC may not be common in homes here but heating sure is and needs a thermostat.

If someone is having to take an Ibuprofen a day, for long enough to make a 1000 pill a worthwhile purchase, they really should be seeing a doctor to actually treat the underlying cause, because you really shouldn’t be constantly taking it long term.
