How do I get rid of this hangover?

In the unlikely event I had to create a porn site account even the NSA wouldn’t be able to link it back to me.

Office is one of the most recognisable brands in the world. Why have they jammed it into a brand which is already toxic?

They should make it a law to require adequate parental controls to exist on a phone in a way that parents can use them, then teach the parents how to use them. If your kid goes and starts viewing porn then it’s your own fault.

I always get my kid a gift my wife will hate. She’s still genuinely annoyed about the fart gun I got last year.

That and getting drunk.

Are you just looking for file backup? I haven’t used it but most people just seem to be switching to NextCloud.

I think this is pretty normal as you grow up. You get kind of bored of playing games that use the same gameplay mechanisms and you just look for a change. Even if the mechanisms in these indie games aren’t as good, just being different makes the game more interesting.

Nowadays I’d much rather play a short indie games that a big budget game.

They don’t need to court developers, they need to court consumers. The games will be sold wherever people are buying.

I’m not sure how I feel about this game. Seems like a less ambitious NMS.

It’s crazy how famous London Bridge is, it’s literally the most boring bridge in London. It’s so boring that people think the bridge next to it is London Bridge.

It can never be too big, but it’s a problem if it’s a big city with nothing to do (Cyberpunk).

I want to get Luigi’s Mansion as I remember really enjoying the first one. It’s just so expensive though.

Honestly, you might have been better choosing Windows. I use all three for work and MacOS is more like an iPad nowadays.

I honestly don’t mind as long as it’s down with permission. At least Microsoft are trying to do something interesting, computers are so boring nowadays. You could take any of the operating systems and wind them back five years and I probably wouldn’t notice.

The flooding a network thing really isn’t an issue, they’ll only flood for the first packet just to find the way and then it stops. Fire up Wireshark on a different machine and transfer a file between two other machines, you won’t see anything. I don’t know too much about WiFi but it probably does the same, it’s just a bridge to the same network.

Wired is probably better because machines can estimate your location from the SSID and they can leak the password giving access to the network.

Switches will flood a network when they don’t know the location of a MAC address but this should only happen for the very first packet which is more likely to be DHCP or some boring background thing like that. As soon as the correct devices get the packet and replies then each switch along the way will update its MAC address table and they’ll know exactly which port to use until it expires (which depends on the switch, I don’t have a ballpark idea).

I’m not sure if it’s still the case but Pewdiepie was using his as a home server.

I’ve never been asked for any of this stuff but I think it’s literally because my email account is so old.

It used to be possible as networks could advertise that they owned IP ranges that they didn’t actually own using BGP, which is what’s used for high level routing. This is what China did around 2010 where they allegedly routed all the internet traffic in the world through China for like 10 minutes. I guess somebody could do that and then just drop every packet.

I expect that’s not possible anymore though, but I’ve been out the game a while so I don’t know for sure.

This game bugged me, it totally missed the SCP vibe for me and it put me off. I also found the combat pretty boring.

I always liked the way that SCP is about a bureaucratic organisation trying to control and contain these supernatural entities. In Control they live inside an entity and literally let one control the organisation. That just seems so anti-SCP to me.
