Don’t know the ultimate goal but this project makes it very easy to install and play the game on modern windows and Linux computers. Getting the original game to work right can be a pain.

There’s a fork of this by one LadyEebs that adds a whole bunch of modern touches like ragdoll physics, advanced lighting, fog, and she’s even been tastefully modding the single player maps with more detail. I don’t have the repo handy becau

Yep, there's a thread with hundreds of people on M1,2,3 macs having issues, it bit some people at work on newer macs. If you installed it a while ago, it's fine, but if you installed recently, it's buggered. The solution wa

Yeah, super slow startup of apps, themes not applying correctly with snap versions when they do fine with non-snap versions, inability to control when updates happen (this has been fixed since 20.04 but it was a huge PITA), a zillion weird

It's a white light sitting below my tv constantly shining a light at my face. What is the point of it? I already know the thing is powered on because I powered it on and it's playing a movie or whatever. Facing it backwards hel

AppleTV 4k has super bright white led on the front (outwards to user) while the device is on. So annoying!

I'm not convinced. Recently moved to a new computer and firefox didn't sync my settings in about:config and didn't sync my container assignments (had to go in and enable it manually in both the source and target computers, b

I use Fastmail and 1Password, and I do used the masked email functionality. There is a massive gap, though, that makes it very difficult to rely on masked email. When I sign up for a new account somewhere, I can choose to create a masked

FWIW in Washington state where I live (and in the 3 cities/towns I've lived in here), multiple times a year Waste Management/WM sends out a flyer explaining what can and can't be recycled. It changes over time and it&#x

I understand the sentiment but it's not a solution. The only solution is to prohibit plastic packaging or force companies to use types of plastic that are easy to recycle. I believe it's easier to regulate the company producing

Yes, as a music app both apple music and youtube music are completely worthless. Why can't they remember where I was at when I get back into my car and the bluetooth connects. It can't be that hard right? I get that apple'

Apple maps enrages me for doing this. When you first open the app it like shows a screenshot of what you were looking at last time while it loads. Sometimes that screenshot is retained as the active view (for example if I have a search up

You linked a screenshot after you already selected a property. If you are back on the property search page, it shows a nightly price and a total price on hover, but when you click the total price goes up by the cleaning fee and the service

Neat idea and I hope you will be successful. On initial inspection it seems like your matching algo or something is off. First example I clicked on is this dining set, which sounded like a great deal: https://www.spoken.io&#x2F

I probably should have followed this route. I've been at my job for over a decade and all my big promotions and large pay raises happened in the first half of that. Been single digit raises since then and I don't think there&#x2

Really dissatisfied with pay increase this year in February. CEO talked up how everyone was going to be really happy with big bumps to make us more competitive (they have been struggling with high turnover after a couple of acquisitions).

Yeah tell me about it. I actually made a mistake, they raised it by $600. The landlord acted so surprised when we didn't renew our lease. When we left, the landlord listed it and rented it out for the original lease amount. I'

Somewhat related: any time a business/person has access to data about a customer or their business, they're in a position of power and are able to use that data against the customer. When you apply to rent a house, you're req

Nobody has cloned and re-hosted (yet?). It requires significant tech knowledge at this point. Plus I'm only 2 out of 4 on the list of things to make that possible. That said, there are quite a few people in the JK community that are

Over 200 comments and nobody has mentioned privacy. Read the Rivian privacy policy, it's downright scary. They track and record everything: location, acceleration/braking, charging, etc., and they explicitly state that they will
