It… only updates once a month, though. The second Tuesday of every month.

Any other updates are from the manufacturer/ software developer and not from Microsoft.

They must’ve done it in the hyperbolic time chamber.

No, viruses don’t mean the scientific definition of life. IIRC, the primary reason why is because, in order to make copies of itself, it must hijack a living cell’s reproductive system to do so. It can’t simply divide to make more of itself.

Most stores around me thankfully don’t even use the weight station. I don’t even think Walmart does anymore since they “upgraded” their checkouts recently. (The self checkouts have completely taken over and have a sort of open floor concept going on.)

Game still requires either full or limited data collection in order to play. It apparently asks you for permission after the intro cutscene.

Sadly, based on reviews for the game on GOG, while the game is technically DRM-free (in that it doesn’t Emily any of the traditional DRM like Denuvo), it still requests either full or limited data collection.

Steam does actually tell you on the game’s page if the game requires a 3rd party account to play.

The house would have to have like 5-10 of them. One for every room in the house.

Honestly, I can’t sleep without any white noise.

Without it, it’s just quiet. Too quiet…

In general, yeah. Private torrent trackers tend to focus on specific types of content. Some might focus on cartoons. Some might focus on anime. Some focus on books. Some focus on video games. Public trackers, on the other hand, generally focus on everything, which, of course, means they won’t have a lot of the older or more niche stuff, and they might be lacking in one or more categories (music, anime, books, TV, etc.).

It’s also much less likely that a torrent on a private tracker will die because most private trackers enforce certain rules about seeding and because the people there are generally much more into seeding than most people on a public tracker. (Probably most people on public trackers simply download what they need and stop before seeding anything back.)

Private trackers are also typically the first (and sometimes only) places to get scene releases. Scene releases, which are done by private groups, are usually higher quality than stuff on public trackers. Sometimes, they leak onto a public tracker, but not usually.

Eh, Aniwave was a pretty big one for the anime community. From what I understand, it’s the one most people fled to after KissAnime was taken down. Aside from that, I’ve never heard of any of the other sites they mentioned.

Me waiting for the next “mothership” to pop up so I can use it:

Aniwave (formerly known as 9anime) was, from what I understand, the site most people fled to after KissAnime bit the dust.

I mean, just schedule the appointment, put it on your work schedule, and ask that doctor (or whatever you call them) for a note for work. That’s what I do.

One of my favorite openings and endings has to be the ones for Bye Bye, Earth.

If Lemmy had gold, I’d give it to you.

And parsecs measure distance, not time, and yet here we are.

There’s plenty of spacewalks in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. They don’t have gravity there and instead have to use thrusters or magnetized boots.

Yeah, it’s probably more like a chemical reaction of some kind. Like how some flowers close at night.

The driver was one installed on the computer by the security company. The driver would look for and block threats incoming via the internet or intranet.

The definitions update included a driver update, and most of the computers the software was used on were configured to automatically restarted to install the update. Unfortunately, the faulty driver update caused computers to BSOD and enter a boot loop.

Because of the boot loop, the driver could only be removed manually by entering Safe Mode. (That’s the thing you saw about deleting that file.) Then the updated driver, the one they released when they discovered the bug, would ideally be able to be installed normally after exiting Safe Mode.
