They’re also assholes as customers. Worked for a company that did monitoring for them and they were an absolute nightmare to deal with. They were so demanding of our time and liked to wave around legal threats so often that eventually management shelled out for a consulting company (who were SMEs with our product) just to manage their install.

Yeah this attrition is expected by Amazon. IBM and others did this earlier. If enough people choose to RTO they will do “real” layoffs and get a pat on the back in the news for not letting as many people go as they would have had to before. Optics I guess. IIRC this is the second round for Amazon.

Some are saying companies are doing this to keep their property values up but I think that’s only one facet. What I don’t see being called out often is companies doing this are hiring replacements overseas in tax havens and/or where they can pay less for talent. Real kicker is, those hires wind up being remote anyway to the anchor offices.

No you have to switch your vpn to Albania to avoid YouTube ads.

Jokes aside, you can do different stage installs where you don’t have to compile the whole OS. However I feel like the quality has dropped during the past few years and it requires too much tinkering. Back when everything was on spinning rust, the performance difference was very noticeable though.

Especially since it was largely a failure in the racing series it competed which at the time was dominated for years by Nissan.

This would explain why some people I know that work there are panicking.

I played the hell out of this game. The sensation of speed was addicting.

Used them since the company started but stopped this year due to the cost going up. Never had an issue.

The desktop that knows what’s best for you.

Hackernews is usually reliable to see what the new hotness is. But yeah this is a frequent problem.

Now do the “purist” that spends their entire life trying to strip everything possible off to “save memory” when they should probably just use Alpine or NetBSD.

Kinda miss the Wild West days where you’d recompile and suddenly there’d be a whole new device naming convention.

From my experience arcade ports and titles released for both are usually noticeably better on the Master System in both looks and sound. Rampage is one example. It also has less issues with the cartridge port. One caveat is the controller ports are prone to bent pins. Otherwise NES all the way.

I bought a keyboard kit recently and to my horror discovered all the “documentation” to build it is on Discord. The creator’s last message was that he was working on other things after losing interest, and was not monitoring it anymore. So all the channels are full of messages asking where he is, what the status is, is he coming back, etc. I had to scroll back through dozens of pages just to find the docs.

Maybe put up a wiki on GitHub or something? Especially if you don’t want to run a forum or plan on dipping. It’s not that hard.

I’m suspicious of anyone overconfident like that. The pen-testers I know love to make examples of them.

Some of my favorite platformers from the 16-bit era: RangerX, Dynamite Headdy, Rocket Knight Adventures, Vector Man, Gunstar Heroes, Metal Slug.
