I remember a game (forget which one) that would ask which word was on a certain page in the game manual for its copy protection.
Oh also, one time I was in a 4 player demolition derby and we all chose the flatmobile. It was a map where it went to a ramp in the middle and everyone started out pointing right at it. We all just raced to the middle and simultaneously crashed and also crashed the game. I think that was the only time I witnessed the game crashing.
Sorry, just so many good memories of this game!
Sorry this comment won't be helpful, but I used to install Flatout 2 into a WineSkin for MacOS and distribute it to all my students and we'd play it all the time. Such a blast.
Which prediction are you referring to?
Software as a whole is getting overly complicated and details are commonly overlooked or missed. It sucks I agree.
Could be security mitigations. They do mention mitigations on the last page to say there are new mitigations applied, but did not test the performance characteristics of them.
For my older CPU the impact mitigations have on performance are tremendous; ~20% if I recall from heartbleed and spectre. I have them disabled because it was making my computer a pain to use.
There is a summary at the bottom of the article.
Summary
macOS Tahoe’s visual interface:
- Fits largely rectangular contents into windows with excessively rounded corners.
- Enlarges controls without any functional benefit.
- Results in app icons being more uniform, thus less distinguishable and memorable.
- Fails to distinguish tools, controls and other interface elements using differences in tone, so making them harder to use.
- Makes a mess where transparent layers are superimposed, and won’t reduce transparency when that’s needed to render its interface more accessible.
Maybe this is because I’m getting older, but that gives me the benefit of having experienced Apple’s older interfaces, with their exceptional quality and functionality.
2036 might be the year of the Linux desktop
I don't know about "ever", but someone recently told me bald eagles are the fastest flyers on Earth; even faster than any military jet.
Dishwasher. I've done hand washing and dishwashing depending on where I'm living each year. Dishwasher does a better job than me, uses less water than me, and saves me time. I run it at night and put away the dishes in the morning.
Community land (especially farm land) has been pillaged by corporations and private interest already.
