Instead of a “renaissance man”, I’m a “renaissance nerd”. Pinball? Sure. Sci-fi? Of course. video games? Natch. 70’s Italian Prog-rock? A raison d’etre.

Mbourgon , to Technology in Apple Rumored to Be Working on AirPods With Built-in Cameras

Thanks for the info. Yeah, that support is even better than I’d thought, and it was already top-tier

Huh? I was pretty sure it’d fall out of OS support this year. And without security patches, shudder

Mbourgon , to Technology in Apple Vision Pro's Cheaper Version to Bring Bigger Displays with Lower Resolutions with New OLEDoS

Go do the demo. It is honestly really impressive. Had no intention of doing it, I’m not the target demographic or audience, but I was there to get a battery replaced and while I waited they did it. My jaw dropped at least twice.

I’m at a loss for the kind of things it can do for me day-to-day right now (and yeah, they have to come up with good selling points there), but for a virtual desktop I’d be there if it were cheaper. But you kinda see where they’re heading - glasses where you could read the web, check weather, watch tv, or play games, the UI, and the phone is just a computing brick that sits in your pocket all day

Sit, Ubu, sit!
Woof.
Good dog.

Mbourgon , to Technology in Impossibly thin fabric could cool you down by 16-plus degrees

Dang it. Because something keeps me a couple of degrees cooler than some-wicking-fabric would be nice

What are examples of “broadband emitter “ fabrics that I can buy? The only links I can find are for this article.

Mbourgon , to Technology in Nearly 20% of Microsoft SQL Servers running have passed end of support

It’s not just SQL, it’s frequently the OS. Corporate tools don’t support the new OS so you install the “supported” OS, which is now several years old, and which only supports the next version or two of SQL Server. Microsoft also didn’t help things with 2012R2, which was 2 years later but had the same EOL as 2012.

And yes, you can set compatibility level on the database, but there are still edge cases where the engine version matters. And the business prioritizes, but upgrades are lower on the list than money-making features.

Mbourgon , to Memes in Guess how my day started

Not true! Mine’s exceptionally ugly, so I think “I really need to replace it” the instant I walk in.

Mbourgon , to Technology in Are there any third party file explorers WITH TABS for Windows?

Explorer++ is a freeware app that does it, though not integrated

Mbourgon , to Memes in distinctions, shmershminctons!

Shoegaze is actually called that because the bands all have a ton of effects pedals, and they’re constantly changing settings and moving from pedal to pedal. So it looks like they’re staring at their shoes. I’ve never heard of it referring to spectators, though in hindsight I’ve done that a couple of times at shows, so...maybe?

Remember kids: you can buy musicians ear-plugs that mean you can keep listening to it your whole life without crippling phantom noise all the time.

Mbourgon , to Memes in Where is Jim Adler when you need him?

YO SOY UN AVOGAHDO

Mbourgon , to Memes in it's why I'm here

There already is a sub, at least to stop drinking.

Mbourgon , to Comic Strips in One more day

I’m So Meta Even This Acronym

Mbourgon , to Memes in Not cool

Shit. Didn’t expect Escoffier to get pulled out here. I thought it was this recipe, but I just checked and there’s only cheddar. So now I feel like I ripped you off. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/baked-macaroni-and-cheese-recipe-1939524.amp

But thanks for sharing the recipe! I’ve been looking for an excuse to do a Moreau sauce for a while. I don’t think it’s an actual “mother sauce”, but still one I haven’t made. Appreciate it!

Mbourgon , to Memes in Not cool

Alton Brown’s with Gruyère Is fantastic. The funny thing is, kids don’t like it because it’s got too much flavor or something. Lol.
