replaying VVVVVV after about 5 years and it's 100% as good as i remembered ☺️

It was kind of a trip out when I realized that the three primary colors aren't some objective fact of physics, but just an artifact of the kind of cones we have in our eyes.

@kawaiizenbo just recently learned that you can setup windows 11 entirely offline by pressing shift+f10 on the first screen, then `cd oobe` followed by `bypassnro`. this skips the network setup entirely and defaults to a local account

just found a very small surface-mount component on my desk shortly after swapping SSDs in my 2010 MacBook

it still works but...

Until I was about 14, I thought the cones you sometimes see dogs wearing were to make the dog's bark sound louder and, thus, more effective for scaring away potential burglars.

what i'm saying is: download the things you love. download even the things you like, that you find any significance in at all. hoard data. disk space scarcity is more or less no longer real if you have even a small amount of money to spend. anything that is not saved will be lost

this definitely happened, and you can (unless they've removed it since 14.2) revert to the Carbon-based implementation with `defaults write -g NSEnableAppKitMenus -bool false` (reboot or quit the relevant apps)

restore default behavior with `defaults delete -g NSEnableAppKitMenus`

One of my favourite graphics on Wikipedia is this illustration of the maximum dimensions of a PDF page: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil

Correction: not the maximum size of a PDF file, but a page within a PDF file. (Thanks Uwe.)

Google has announced that they will now consider an account dead and delete it if it receives no logins for two years. If you have any gmail accounts you don't use often, or have custody of someone else's while they're in jail/the hospital/the tundra or whatever, you should set a recurring alarm on your calendar to manually log into it every few months.
