You can always just use set compatible.

Actually, one of the reasons that vim “won” over many of the other vi-like editor clones back in the day is that it tried to behave like vi as closely as possible, whereas many of the others didn’t.

Because evaporative cooling is incredibly effective and works really well if you have a large supply of water.

Needing to carry a large supply of water is why we don’t use it in cars.

A lot of problems basically boil down to using an nVidia card and dealing with their drivers. Either use an AMD GPU/APU or if you don’t need anything fancy the iGPU in an Intel CPU.

I don’t know if it’s the best way, but I just download and install it as Linux is officially supported.

There’s always Don’t Starve which definitely fits the mood, though I’ve always found that game insanely difficult.

The Flintstones also did a bit of a pivot too - they realized they were picking up more kids in their audience so they shifted from an adult sitcom to more of a family friendly show. The later episodes do have a bit of a different feel from the earlier ones.

Also, many of the later reruns on The Cartoon Network, etc. ditched the original laugh track (and good riddance), and that also gave the show less of a sitcom feel.

I’m much the same way. Wasn’t really a conscious decision either - it’s more of I had better and more interesting things to do and gradually the amount of time I spent watching TV and movies dwindled down to basically zero.

It’s actually from the Cold War.

1st world = USA, NATO, and their allies. 2nd world = USSR, the Eastern Bloc and their allies (the 2nd world doesn’t really exist anymore). 3rd world = anyone not in the 1st or 2nd categories.

You are right though it’s not about any real statistics. It’s about political alignment.

That was there for a CD-ROM add-on, which was planned from the start but never actually released. Nintendo was working on it as a collaboration with both Phillips and Sony. After it got canned, both Phillips and Sony still had rights to some of the technology as part of the collaboration. So Phillips decided to release their own gaming system based upon what they had, and that was the (largely forgotten) CD-i system. And of course Sony did the exact same thing, and that became the Playstation. The rest is history.

I’d really like to know where you are buying 15 year old GMC trucks for $2000-$3000 that presumably run and aren’t beat to shit.

SD cards. They won’t be completely gone, but will probably be regulated to pro cameras and a few niche applications. As storage goes, hard drives outside of data centers. Right now they are still hanging in there as cheap external storage for things like backups, but in 10 years they’ll probably be gone in that application.

Fluorescent lighting. Granted it’s already on the way out, but in 10 years you may have trouble finding bulbs and your only options for an old fluorescent fixture will be either to replace it or an LED retrofit kit. Possibly the same thing will apply to sodium vapor lighting.

Manual transmissions. While the internal combustion engine will probably still be hanging in there, my guess will be finding a new car with more than 2 pedals might be a challenge.

Pro… you’re transported to the Star Trek Universe. Con… it’s still year 2025.

That’s pretty much how the game is designed.

With that said, I always thought it would be a bit interesting in Factorio if the bugs were at first neutral towards the player and only got hostile after the player started polluting too much or chopped down too many trees.

I actually had some hope for that because we needed something to break the Flash monopoly, and I trusted Microsoft slightly more than I trust Adobe.

However, it never went anywhere because everyone expected Microsoft was just going to kill it, and of course Microsoft killed it, and that was that.

Walkie-talkies would be fun. They’d figure out how to use them pretty quickly and what they could use them for. At the same time they’d be completely like magic to them.

I’ve played around a bit with the Z Fold6. A non-folding phone with roughly the same dimensions when folded, but using the extra space for more battery would be interesting. Heck, throw in a headphone jack while you’re at it.

The disagreement doesn’t really seem like a contradiction from my reading. The studies that give Tesla good marks are doing it based upon crash test results, which Teslas tend do pretty well on. The studies that give Tesla bad marks are doing based upon actual statistics from the field, and the numbers don’t lie.

My assumption would be there’s a few factors for this. It could be partly due to the sort of people who drive Teslas are more likely to crash them (this is probably why Buick is also so high on the list - too many senior drivers). Though my hunch is Tesla’s self-driving implementation is a major part of it.

I have the Logitech F310 and I can also say it’s a good controller. Works flawlessly on Linux, and has never given me any trouble. Buttons always worked, no drift issues. Can’t really ask for more.

I realize it’s a fairly basic controller, but every time I’ve taken a look at maybe upgrading I’ve ended up concluding that just sticking with using the F310 is the best option.

If you use the book’s pace of 4 MPH, which is actually what many people would consider a brisk walk, 300-400 miles would take 75-100 hours, or around 3-4 days. That’s a long time to stay up without sleeping, let alone being physically active the entire time. I’d guess someone who is really fit might be able to do half of that before collapsing, with most people probably not making past the first 24 hours.

Someone who was using drugs or doping might be able to do it, but even then I’d be skeptical.

The last of the IBM-branded ones are Core 2 Duo machines that can, with some upgrades, passably run a modern Linux distro. With that said, they are still nearly 20 years old.

The last of the IBM-built ones are still 32-bit machines.
