It's a real reference.

"Inscribed on it is a complaint to Ea-nāṣir about a copper delivery of the incorrect grade and issues with another delivery"

I'm on HFC ... It's all I had before NBN, it's all that's available now.

I'm in inner-eastern melbourne... I hope everyone that had a part in screwwing us all over steps on a Lego taking the bins out and gets garbage water in their mouth.

A massive swathe of current gen devices don't even support it.

It won't be a month.

Microsoft announce changes much smaller than that 4 years out and still have to give extensions.

WQ = Write and Quit Q! = quit and do nothing else

Multiline cut, copy, paste is where I forget commands.

No. Some of us were already there.

Lifetime Microsoft expert here, I have had machines with Linux in one flavour or another for 15+ years at least.

But for ease of use I just keep coming back to Windows... Because I know it backwards and upside down.

The structure of it makes sense to me. And I have ADHD so I have a terrible working memory and Linux relies FAR too much on command console to do anything effective.

But Linux is hands-down the better system to get away from Microsoft's enshitification of Windows. But I personally like Windows better.

So I will always run both. But if I need to be really productive, Windows Desktop it is. If I need a server, Linux every time. (Unless it's MS SQL or a website).

Open-source it a better interface then.

Until it's as useful as at least Sync for Lemmy, people will use 3rd party proprietary apps

I notice negatives to it as well.

When I trim the driveway hedge I have to pick any errant cuttings out of the rose garden. So I spend about 1-2 hours looking for one type of leaf amongst another type of leaf.

When I close my eyes for the next 12 or so hours all I can see is the type of leaf I was looking for, my brain is so locked on to looking for the pattern.

Dude you're pretty condescending for a new author on an old topic.

Yeah I read it and it's very over worded.

1024 was the closest binary approximation of 1000 so that became the standard measurement. Then drive manufacturers decided to start using decimal for capacity because it was a great way to make numbers look better.

Then the IEC decided "enough of this confusion" and created binary naming standards (kibi gibi etc...) and enforced the standard decimal quantity values for standard names like kilo-.

It's not ground breaking news and your constant arguing with people in the thread paints you as quite immature. Especially when plenty of us remember the whole story BECAUSE WE LIVED IT AS IT PROFESSIONALS.

We lacked a standard, a system was created. It was later changed to match global standard values.

You portray it with emotive language making decisions out to be stupid, or malicious. A decision was made that was perfectly sensible at the time. It was then improved. Some people have trouble with change.

Your writing and engagement styles scream of someone raised on clickbait news. Focus on facts, not emotion and sensationalism if you want to be taken seriously in tech writing.

Focus on emotion and bullshit of you want to work for BuzzFeed.

And if you just want an argument go use bloody twitter.

It's a nack. See one, the others will likely be in a tent shaped layout. Some brains are just very good at visual pattern matching.

I have an unbroken record for being the person that finds anything tiny and lost. In school the kids called me "night vision".

Lose a ball over the fence an 1am. 10 people looking. Can't find it. Get me to look and I find it in 1 minute or less. Lost a diamond or earring backing in shag carpet? I'll find it ao fast you won't believe it.

I've occasionally had to pretend it takes longer to find it, just so they don't think I pranked them and took it.
