With this particular concert, no, they’re spending company money (which otherwise could have gone to employees) for themselves.

Would you mind to name five of those hundreds of problems?

There are bricks of various kinds, and they can very well be challenging for Wifi. Concrete is even harder, and if you have reinforced concrete, good luck.

And it won’t go into production next year. But workers will still be treated like shit.

If you don’t want to communicate with non-Signal users and are always within range of a public or known Wifi network where ever you are in Afghanistan, then I guess this is fine.

Come on, almost two thirds of DB Fernverkehr’s trains are punctual (if you accept DB’s definition of punctuality, which allows six minutes of delay to still be counted as punctual).

US is probably the only country that went back on rail transport. Every other country is taking it as far as they possibly can.

I don’t know for other countries, but Germany (that has a decent high-speed rail network, to be fair) had a rail network of almost 55,000 km in the 50s and less than 40,000 today. More than 300 train stations have been closed since the year 2000 alone.

A developer evangelist is not a press person, but a developer that gives talks to other developers. I didn’t find any specific numbers, but Microsoft probably has hundreds of them. And anyway you wouldn’t expect that kind of announcement to be made by anyone who isn’t like C-level, in a presentation made specifically for that fact, accompanied by a big marketing campaign, and so on.

Windows 11 officially requires Secure Boot and TPM 2.0, but can easily be run with just TPM 1.2, and with some effort even without TPM. All the other system requirement increases (like single to dual core, 2 to 4 GB RAM, etc.) don’t really play a role for any recently built PC anyway.

But incorrectly quoted as “Microsoft promised…”. It was one low-tier Microsoft employee who said it once, in a side note of a conference talk that was not about the future of Windows.

Of the current 16 games, 11 are shareware/demos. Only Beneath a Steel Sky, One Must Fall 2097, The Black Cauldron, The Lost Vikins and Supaplex are full versions (as those games have been released to public domain at one point).

It wants a code for level selection. You get the code for level 2 once you finish level 1, and so on. So just start with level 1 (F1).

Doom is just the shareware version, just like most of the others (some already called with that fancy modern name “demo”). Some are freeware, some have been released into public domain after they went out of sale.

If you check it out, don’t forget to have a look atthe somewhat hidden 3D mode. Though well made, the 2D mode is just a Google-Maps-like view, and the 3D mode is entirely different.

Mostly because they have to wait for Half-Life 3 in order not to confuse the customers.

Not having 60 fps might be an issue for a shooter or anything that is built on fast reactions, but it doesn’t really sound like an issue in a city builder.

Isn’t Lemmy primarily a link sharing network?

I didn’t read it, so I didn’t share it initially, but this was the article I saw earlier:
https://www.vox.com/2021/5/10/22429240/facebook-prompt-users-read-articles-before-sharing

No. There are studies about that, see e.g. https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/misinformation-desk/202212/study-few-people-read-what-they-share for a more recent one. That’s also why Facebook, Twitter & Co at various times implemented various features trying to push you reading the stuff you post.

Huh? That guide is pretty extensive in providing different options and ways, but it’s not complicated at all. The whole thing is about 2500 words, that would be about 5 pages printed. That’s probably much shorter than most Windows guides, and they are not typically offering so many options.
