No, you’re thinking of Sprite, specifically the bottle caps.

Something something torment nexus something something.

Which makes sense because even 1080p streaming is garbage compared to blu-ray.

Vista was good eventually, but certainly not on launch. It launched with absurdly aggressive popups about for User Account Control and backwards compatibility was somewhat spotty, largely due to the security changes. By the end, though, it was actually really solid, to the point that Win7 essentially launched as Vista Service Pack 2 with a new taskbar skin.

Er, no. A Linux program from five years ago probably won’t run on a current distro if it hasn’t been maintained in four years. A Windows program released twenty years ago and never patched has pretty good odds of running on Win10 without even needing to touch the compatibility tab.

Which they could clean up, but it would mean killing backwards compatibility, which is arguably the only selling point of Windows.

This is exactly my experience with their dice sets. I got the transister dice, but I think the cat dice use the same box.

I use some as coasters.

2038, not 2028. We have twelve years to fully migrate to 64-bit time.

That’s actually shopped. The game’s writer said he wishes he wrote that line, though.

Nintendo has been the Apple of the video game world since the N64.

I’ll be doing both with Linux as my primary and Win10 as a compatibility fallback.

Multiplayer games and ones that require Uplay or Origin (can’t remember their new names) have issues, but most single player stuff will run fine. You’ll typically have to run them via Wine or Proton, but Steam will handle that for you.

Yes, but you have to shake the cow pretty vigorously.

IIRC, someone got with the author of that bit of code to ask how they came up with it, but they had simply learned it from someone else. So they tracked them down and found that they had also learned it from someone else. They eventually landed on Greg Walsh as the original author, but for a bit the code had no known origin.

Vantablack is a specific chemical product, not a color. If you can get something just as black via a different process they can’t do anything.

Isn’t Vivaldi Chromium? Would make it likely do be hit by the main branch dropping Manifest v2 support.

Ah, so it’s the software equivalent of fusion power development.

Sure, and for home users the backwards compatibility feature only really comes up for people into retro-gaming, but a significant portion of their customer base is government agencies that haven’t updated their software since the '90s. The old hardware is dying, so they need new stuff, and that means something with a new OS to run it, but it also needs to be able to run an ancient program that can only be replaced if some some seventy-something who calls every console a Nintendo can be made to understand why software older than their grandkids isn’t the best thing to have, and they might need to introduce and pass a bill to get it done, not to mention budgeting to commission a company to code the replacement.
