  First time I hear there ever was a desktop application. I assumed it’s a website. Never used that garbage, never will.

  I used this a lot to check in with businesses whether they accept credit cards, which is a 50:50 in Europe and large parts of Asia.

  Problem on couch, not on TV.

  POCNOT, please. If you want to get the acronym right.

  I still don’t agree, but that’s your call.

  It’s simple to follow, sure, but it really felt like gameplay quests being completed in whatever sequence rather than an actual story being told.

  I know it’s based on a game and should resemble it as such, but if it’s not appealing to those who never played it, they are missing a huge part of the potential audience.

  For instance I’ve also never played The Last of Us, and that series was absolutely brilliant.

  And yes, with pointless I mean bad writing and extremely poor character development. In the end I liked none of them.

  No, I had zero expectations as I had never played the game and knew nothing about it other than what the name already implied.

  If I feel like I’m not going to like something, I don’t waste my time confirming that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon's Fallout TV Series Renewed For Season 2⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just finished season 1 and I was seriously underwhelmed. It’s well done and all, but the story is extremely incoherent and ultimately pointless.

  Oh god yes, that game was amazing. Still running in DOS if I’m not mistaken. Used to play it when I was 8 or something, and you could actually play it in split screen mode on one computer.

  Not OP, but a bluetooth mouse is an excellent remote control :-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The case for 4K Blu-ray in a world of streaming⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Takes away a ton of space, compared to a bunch of SSD or HDDs. I’ve got 8000+ movies in full HD and above contained in the same space maybe 30 DVD/bluray cases would occupy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens when you try to buy a $1M domain?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, actually they do. I’ve been working for a wealth management bank in Luxembourg for several years, and we do have unlimited credit cards. Technically they have a 999,999,999 EUR limit since there needs to be something, but good luck spending this much anyway.

  Also, credit card fees outside of the US are rather tame in comparison, and usually even capped. I’ve seen someone buy a Bentley worth >1M with his Visa.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get past theoretical knowledge?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hacking my local ISP, electricity provider, university and a bunch of companies. Back in the late 90’s, quite a few of those took little more than dissecting cgi scripts in public folders to gain ftp credentials, uploading a script to some autostart/cronjob folder and waiting for the next reboot, that inevitably came within 72h.

  I swear by SumatraPDF. The most lightweight reader I ever used. Opens in seconds, is tiny in size, comes with zero bloat.
