The latest update to #SQLServerManagementStudio @SQLServer has been running for over 90 minutes and is showing that it’s pulling down packages for iOS, Android, tvOS and other unrelated @visualstudio.com crud. Bad vibe.

. @AmazonHelp Back again with driver issues. Delivery drivers are again driving down the driveway which they have been told to stay off of 4 or 5 times now and are turning around by driving a circle in the grass across my and my neighbor's lawn. Can you even control anything.
On a 4k monitor @DuckDuckGo just hit me with an entire page of ads before actual search results. The dream is over.

MOTHER OF GOD. Actual hardware capture directly recorded from my Sega #Dreamcast running the latest build of jnmartin's masterpiece "Next-Gen" #Doom 64 port... you've never truly experienced the game until you've played this shit.
Within the span of just a few short months, this has gone from a pretty direct port of an N64 classic, simply looking to dabble in a couple dynamic lights and wondering if the DC could actually pull off bump mapping in real-time, to a bajillion dynamic lights, everything bumpmapped to shit, dynamic vertex tessellation to improve triangle density for lighting interpolation, epic compression schemes for streaming normal maps quickly, dynamic lights for all of the candles and torches within the environment, and pushing so many polygons due to all of the extra render passes and using so much video RAM for all of the verts and textures, that he has pretty much morphed this 5th gen game into a an epic 6th gen graphical showcase... AND HE'S STILL NOT DONE!

It also looks like one of the audio jacks was replaced. Wondering if any of these could be a sign this board was serviced and could be why capacitors still look new.

I came across this news in an issue of New Computer Express and was delighted to find the episode did air.
Here you can watch Arthur C Clarke get terribly excited about his Amiga 2000 and "black holes" in a Mandelbrot set youtu.be/jxWNn-TtnDE?t=1177

just a psa that LinkedIn has this setting on by default, you'll need to go to Settings->Data Privacy-> Data for Generative AI Improvement to flip it off
New from 404 Media: LinkedIn is training AI on users before updating its terms of service. People noticed a new setting on generative AI. I asked LinkedIn, they said they're updating their terms "shortly." They went ahead and trained AI w/o updating 404media.co/linkedin-is-trai…

"Steamed Hams", Jeff Daniels' latest VIC-20 game, was a big hit at #VCFMW last weekend. People were spotting it from 100' away (no exaggeration) and coming over to check it out. jeffdaniels.itch.io/steamedh…

I'd like to start a petition for @HiRezStudios to release the source code for the Starsiege: Tribes. They released the game as freeware back in 2015, so why not go one step further? This game is just begging for a Dreamcast port! Retweet if you agree!
