Unfrozen0688··on The true, dramatic story of Robert Downey Jr.'s 'Oppenheimer' villain
People on TikTok will not have the attention span for a film like Oppenheimer.

My dad liked Oppenheimer too.

He is 65.

Maybe stick to cartoons? Rick and Morty and Marvel?

>The Barbie movie, which I just saw 2 weeks ago on my TV was clearly a better movie on I'm pretty sure every aspect, and you could tell it was in the first minute.

And I have the exact opposite view! hah

The Barbie movie felt like a series of clips to me. Not a coherent movie. I also dislike musicals, so maybe personal.

Also despite Oppenheimer being about The Manhattan Project, The Barbie movie felt "too american" for me with weird Twitter references to "The Znyder cut?". (How will that reference age in 2 years?)

Oppenheimer just feels like expertly crafted cinema. I truly got lost in it and the story. The first 20mins felt like 1h in a good way. Truly masterful.

This site is very Apple friendly and assumes everyone has a macbook, iphone, iwatch, ipad and ivision with all the subscription services available.

After all why use anything else! :)

PS I will keep using the archive links

I do not care. Remove it.

I read Plato but do not remember. I need to read more, thank you random SF developer.

Good.

I have a friend who's entire job is to generate ChatGPT spam articles about random shit to corporate blogs to drive traffic to their app.

Tells people she "works in IT" lol I suspect they pay like shit as employees have to use their own computer even.

Time to reign this shit in.

Thats sad. Anyone can feel a difference in fps. MOST people DO care. Show them side by side.

So yea.

Shit devs.

I feel we are going backwards in quality. Like wtf happened. Look at the video. Just shit.

A game from 2015 and 2024 looks the same.

Won't really work on consoles like PS1 and PS2.
Unfrozen0688··on Source Code for Area 51 (2005) by Midway Studios Austin Found at Garage Sale
A lot of games did this.

Like each Final Fantasy game on the PS2 is a new engine. Each Resident Evil.

There was Renderware I guess to share liek Unreal. But that's it.

Not like these new game devs. I can really tell these new games are so unoptimized.

I mean look at this. Is this progress?? Not really. And 2024 has just waaaaay worse performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5fr1R8kZzI

Yea but it just sucks to use

>But it begs the obvious question if there's a legitimate use case for this, other than having a modern browser when spinning up your retro machine for that nostalgia once a year.

There are lots of Windows 2008 / 2012 servers out there. Not internet facing hopefully. But that still may need something better than Internet Explorer to display webpages.

Also lab machines that are still on XP or 7.

Unfrozen0688··on New FCC Broadband Standards Should Consider Latency
>where there's a sudden internet drop out for just a few seconds.

I have had this on wifi for sure, but never wired with ethernet.

Not an ISP issue.

Sweden. So not USA. But western country where we decided to invest in broadband infra.

I am on DOCSIS/COAX modem/router combo. 200 down 10 up. Ethernet wired to gaming PC and work laptop. Rock solid.

Downspeed is better at work but it being WiFi there and shared with many people it still will suck despite being enterprise Cisco and Unifi hardware on two different networks.

That is antivirus updates delivered over Windows Update, not Windows Security Updates.

Back then it wasn't as a big a market as it is today full of shit games

Yes, ESU is extended Windows Update. But it ran out for Windows 7 in 2023.

I'm just done with these new movie type games. TLOU was great and new on PS3.
Unfrozen0688··on Cactus – A Modern Diablo II Version Switcher, Character Isolator, & Mod Manager
No ESU has ended.

Unfrozen0688··on Cactus – A Modern Diablo II Version Switcher, Character Isolator, & Mod Manager
I agree.

But 7 is outright dangerous to have internet connected, I hope you are not using it or recommending others to use Win7 my god.

The TPM shit can also be bypassed but yes I don't like it either.

Unfrozen0688··on Cactus – A Modern Diablo II Version Switcher, Character Isolator, & Mod Manager
GoG is really great, especially sice old games are patched and working to modern Windows systems usually.

They have some good sales going now too.

>Due to Microsoft mandating people to have an online connection and a Microsoft account for Windows 11 (at the OOBE stage), any version over Windows 10 will not be supported.

No they don't, bullshit. I agree with the sentiment that MS should just have a button but don't lie like this.

I mean it's hidden, but there is a sign in method or OOBE\BYPASSNRO or burn the ISO with Rufus.

Use the email address no@thankyou.com.

Type any password on the next screen.

Windows will display "Oops, something went wrong" on the next screen.

Clicking Next opens a screen that allows you to create a local account.

hahah what a fucking outlook. Grim. Just grim. What about the profits on a game from 2002 that sold millions that the developer could still milk!!???

Are you an MBA? I guess you got into tech for the money and not the love.

To your point I have bought the Diablo 2 Remaster but not yet played it :)

If they provide warranty and support like Dell/HP/Lenovo then sure.
Unfrozen0688··on Microsoft is driving users away
I use Windows 10 & 11 for work and I agree and don't agree.

Yes they should keep all the old stuff for us that know how to use it.

But one thing, it IS stable. My Windows 10 install is 4 years old, and Windows updates never broke it. I am not sure what you are doing to your systems.

Unfrozen0688··on Microsoft is driving users away
massgrave activator - open source and on github lol

I use it for test VMs myself.

yes windows updates and all still works

Unfrozen0688··on The ThinkPad T480 Successor: New ThinkPad T14 Gen 5
Companies buy in bulk from Dell, HP and Lenovo. The ThinkPads are especially great. I've used mine from work for 3 years now. Coming up on renewal, and it looks good as new, just the old 8th gen i5 bringing it down.

"Hacker conferences" dosent matter in the real world, sorry

They aren't. It's snake oil to fool schools who have to buy them for cheating.

Hate these ding dong ass systems as Windows admin as they are always ""CRITICAL"" and they put no redundancy or HA in so we cant patch the actual Windows server as there OMGE THIS IS CRITICAL THERE CANT BE ANY DOWNTIME.

Niqqa Windows Servers NEEDS a reboot once a month.
