I’m actually in the market fow new wipers and I’ve been using RainX for well over a dacade. Maybe it’s time to try a new brand. My last set of Rain X blades started to leave streaks after like 6 months (could have been the really bad winter - lots of ice and salt). Not horrible streaks, they aren’t a safety concern, but little imperfections really bother me. I’m very particular about my windshield cleanliness.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Valve veteran slams Tim Sweeney and Epic Games for laying off 1000 people while making 'as much money as possible… and hey Tim, Gabe's better at that than you'English
5·2 months ago“Epic is technically paying us to use it, and we still won’t use it”
I think it’s because it feels like an obvious bait and switch. We’ve seen it so many times over the years. Services reel people in, get them hooked on their platform, then enshittify them with ads and paid subscription tiers etc. Like everything that Epic does just seems so desperate, and that makes me belive they can’t be trusted. “Please bro. Please install Epic. Bro I’ll give you free games. I swear bro, I won’t start scraping your data and selling ads. Trust me, bro. Please”
I didn’t realize for way too long that the song “Ironic” had no actual examples of irony in it, and that in itself is ironic. Blew my mind.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL children's author Shel Silverstein had sex with hundreds and possibly thousands of women and frequently visited the Playboy mansionEnglish
15·3 months agoI mean look at that mugshot. Dude probably hangs dong like a forearm. Probably through a bush thicker than the Amazon rainforest. I don’t know why, but it just looks like when he unsheiths his member it hits the ground like Mjornir. He enters a room full of women and leaves it a mess of puddles and pubes. Probably stays well hydrated too.
Good for him.
Oh yeah I figured it out eventually. My eyes were playing tricks on my. It may not be the most beautiful loaf in the world, but if it tastes good, that’s what matters the most.
Man it took me way too long to see this photo correctly. I was like "did he cut a peice off of the top and then put a blunt on it? What am I even looking at?

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Thanks a lot, AI: Hard drives are already sold out for the entire year, says Western DigitalEnglish
4·4 months agoI think it’s a post-bubble-pop boycott. These manufacturers are not ramping up production because they know the demand won’t be permanent. So when things return to normal, whenever that is, we continue to not buy their products.
The problem is this relies on two things One - people actually remembering Two - Data centers, enterprises, and OEMs, who make the large majority of HDD purchases also boycott.

Like the age old advice for getting better at Smash Brothers - Don’t get hit.
Here’s my Christmas eve Wellington from this year. It’s only a 4 year old tradition at this point, but I’m getting pretty damn good at it. I sous vide the beef so it’s always perfectly cooked and tender. Getting the puff pastry to cook without over cooking the beef is the hard part. It takes several steps of refrigeration while doing the layers/wraps.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is 100.00% decompiledEnglish
8·6 months agoThe code for the game has been decompiled. From my understanding that means it’s now readable and can be ported over to other places with some work. What that means is that a true “PC Version” can be made, which will have the ability to support things like widescreen/high resolution, high framerates, native keyboard/controller support as well as whatever mods people feel like developing (new maps, new modes, etc) - in the case of Mario 64, when this happened people got to work on a Multiplayer version, which works really well. So it opens up a lot of possibilities.
Or filing cabinets. Which is where sensitive information was often stored in the days of floppy disks.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•How does patientgamers feel about free games on Epic?
141·1 year agoThey have been in hot water before when they were caught scraping data without consent and sending it back to Epic. Folders/files and apparently steam user info?
The client still supposedly phones home with some encrypted data and nobody is completely sure what it is, they say it’s anti-cheat stuff, but then there’s this:
“40% of Epic Games is owned by Tencent they’re a Chinese Tech Company which the Chinese Government has a certain say in what they do. LITERALLY without Tencent Epic would go under they’re the only reason why Epic Games has gotten so many exclusives and given away so many free games. There is LITERALLY a board member in Tencent that was appointed by the Chinese Government.”
So can we trust them? Probably not.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Star Fox 64 unofficial PC port is now availableEnglish
9·1 year agoThat is correct. Porting it to PC also unlocks other capabilities like wide-screen support, modifying/enhancing textures, no framerate lock etc. PC ports of games are awesome.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Microsoft releases a new Windows app called Windows App for running Windows appsEnglish
0·2 years agoAs somebody who has to work with deploying this software for consultants that use W365 Cloud PCs, fuck this name. If there is an error or an issue with it, good fucking luck trying to Google a solution because searching for “Windows App Error” gets you nowhere fucking useful.




Is there a way to this with like a MAC address instead of an IP? Allowing specific devices (my parents have a Firestick that they travel with) would be pretty ideal.
