Every cig exec lied under oath and only received monetary fines.

The Hidden Driver of Formula 1 (F1 Aerodynamics) - Willem Toet & Francesco Del Citto. Good detail around CFD usage and config at Sauber.

Maps, news, stocks are all installed by default and supported by ads. Opting out eliminates personalization. One needs to install an app like lulu to block background calls even with personalization turned off. This started with the twitter integration many years again and while social is no longer tightly integrated, the philosophy around user fingerprinting “while not being tied to your identity” is still very much alive and well in a default macOS install.

Mac OS without the background ads garbage or the constant blocking of call-home requests would be nice.

Panzer Dragoon Saga is also lost. Probably a lot of games like that.

I had an old Tandy and the instruction manual touted “10MHz of Intel processing power!”

Still makes me smile.

The updated camera angle is the killer feature for me. That’s the only issue I have with the original and I had that same issue when it came out.

The only reason to play that version is the SotN unlock for the PSP and even then, easier to just download the PSX iso.

Not just that, I think it was summoner 2 which means she’d have to be real committed!

A guy I know proposed to his wife in the end credits of summoner. They’re still happily married afaik.

"It is written entirely in Rust, which greatly increases the overall quality and security of the shell."

Is this true? I don't know Rust so I'm probably missing context. Obvious kudos to OP for writing a shell.

I think the person you’re replying to was referring to the partial support of XML instead of the xslt part.

Many years ago now, Mozilla hired an adtech exec to run the show and I arrived at the conclusion that Firefox would be staffed by for-profit thinkers in direct conflict with their non-profit foundation. That’s the moment I stopped donating. I daily drive Orion as even though Kagi is for profit, they have managed to keep trash out of their free version.

This is really cool. I still play my series X on occasion but tend to prefer the experience I get from my Saturn and Dreamcast when I load a game and it plays without needing to update. Every time I turn on my Xbox or PC with steam/GOG I have to wait for an update of some kind.
