Maybe not in this particular case: but what if you buy a game intending to get 10 hours out of it and after 1h you get greeted by the final credits. Shouldn't you not be able to refund then? (Depending on the price of course.)
I still have a dual boot Windows for that reason. I only need it every few months or years, but it’s good to rule out compatibility issues. For example games started to hang my PC. Before I start birching in the mesa bug tracker for amd issues, I tried if the same happened on my Windows install. It did. So I could rule out driver issues and could directly focus on the hardware being the culprit.
Technically Office Open XML is not proprietary, since they published and standardized it under ISO/IEC 29500. Practically no software suite besides MS Office is able to render it 100% compatible to each other. But to be fair, neither did OpenDocument; a document in LibreOffice odt looks slightly different in OnlyOffice, WPS, SoftMaker, etc.
Viele der jetzt normalen Formen waren irgendwann mal die hässlichen futuristischen. Ein nicht unerheblicher Teil ist also Gewöhnung. Und ohne Experimente gibt es halt auch keine neuen Stile; es ist nicht davon auszugehen, dass ausgerechnet die jetzt gängigen Formen das non-plus-ultra sind.
I am not convinced yet of letting agents completely unattended. Watching them work makes review easier for me. If I let the agent just produce some result it needed half an hour (or more) for, it’s very likely so convoluted that I can at best skim over it and then go „yeah yeah ok, it’s probably fine “.
I watched two colleagues this week and both had Opus 4.8 1M max thinking. No matter which task. It’s also slow as fuck. I work almost all day with GPT-5.4 low thinking and get good results… but faster and cheaper.
I guess good model selection and promoting will be what sets devs apart in the near future. Once that bubble bursts a bit more and prices increase further that will be an interesting reckoning. Also for companies who basically taunted their employees into tokenmaxxing.
It can help. A lot of the time I go on Reddit for example starts subconscious. If that doesn’t work the conscious part kicks in and I know I don’t want to visit that craphole so I close the tab again and put the phone aside. Otherwise I see content and keep scrolling.
Isn’t there a smoke detector battery depletion detector? Or you need to regularly do a smoke detector battery smoke test. /s

„You have balls to gut a company like that. Wanna put that talent to use? We got just the right opportunity here …“
Looks like those that do badly are those that went on an acquisition spree over the last years.
But Microsoft released Windows… /s
And if some obscure error code shows up, the first five points in the knowledge base are powershell commands.

That can also be linked to sleep issues. Stuffy nose and fever makes you sleep less well and that in turn can negatively impact your ADHD.

Geht halt auch kaum anders, bei den ganzen Anforderungen, die sie erfüllen müssen.
Am I a bad person when this was (also) my first thought?
In Germany it did.

I‘ll buy and play it on day 1…. for PC. Until then it doesn’t exist for me.

Donetick can be self hosted and has a nice UX.
There are forks and they are still accessible. So decentralization works.
One of if not the best sci-fi series. Grounded but thrilling. Fantastic cast too.
