Great theory to cover up bad writing, but, unfortunately, the Duffer Brothers have set the story straight!
Fair enough. Another question I had that other people have been asking is once they get to The Abyss, where are all the creatures? Where are the demogorgons, the demodogs, the bats? Are they hiding?
Matt Duffer: Mainly it’s just that Vecna was not expecting this sneak attack on his home turf. Never in a million years could he even imagine that. They’re there somewhere. We obviously discussed having a demo battle on top of the Mind Flayer battle, but it felt more right to us that why does he need the demos when the Mind Flayer is this giant thing and can attack them? He doesn’t need his little ant army to attack, he’s going to take care of this himself. It’s a giant, desolate planet. If you recall, you see Henry wandering the planet back in Season 4 and at some point in his journey, he does see a demo far in the distance, but it’s not like they’re hanging out in little huts. There’s not like a giant civilization of demos up there.
Right?! I love the people giving 'help' on how to launch the terminal in other ways, lol, but, this was the worst of them.
This isn't OOP saying "OMG! For terminalspecifically, Windows is making it so difficult for me! Please, someone, show me another way to get to the terminal! Bonus points if you can be a jerk while doing so!" It's them saying "Windows start menu search is fucking broke as hell and here is an example"
Saying that people are 'cringe' for expecting the search to work isn't helpful at all (people giving tips on other ways to get to programs though, yeah, that can be helpful to try and help others work around MS breaking basic functionality). This is functionality that has been in Windows since Windows 7 and has been in every OS with a GUI that I've used for a really long time ... expecting it to work isn't absurd in the least.
Can't we all just join together in our disappointment/hatred of the Start Menu Search functionality and the enshittification of the OS in general rather than having to try and make it into a "I'm so much better than you because I do this in a power user way"? Especially when that power user way isn't even useful for a lot of applications!
It's like on my old Nvidia SHIELD, an update rolled in and all of a sudden there are ads on the homepage. Some people were ok with TV/movie ads being on a TV/movie device, but, why the hell would I want ads for content only available on services that I don't have? If they'd at least only given me ads for the services it knew I was subscribed to, I would have at least been less pissed off since it could have been useful.
Reached out to Nvidia and they say there isn't anything they can do, it's built that way by Google. By no means do I just blindly accept that that was accurate, but, it's still bullshit that with a basic update all of a sudden the nature of my device was completely changed (imo) and I'm expected to just suck it up or work around it with 3rd party launchers that weren't as polished.
Dunno if it's gotten better/worse in the last couple years, mine died and I elected to not replace it with another Android device.
I was the same and then I rebuilt a server that originally took me forever to get up and running with all it's weird requirements and had it going in docker in like 30 minutes with my old settings imported in.
I still compartmentalize individual programs into their own VM/CTs though, even when using docker.
Still have no idea how to package one together myself though.
Right! The manufacturers know this is a bubble and aren't going to put themselves into debt to build new factories! They're going to ride the bubble til it pops and then try to go back to normal, but significantly richer.
Yeah, but MP was very obviously a "designed for Enshittification" company when they were charging like $20 for unlimited movies in a month and paying out full price for movie tickets that in my area were around $16 ... if I used it twice they lost a lot of money. Hell, if I used it 3x in 2 months they still lost money.
For my family, it was very much a "this isn't going to last, enjoy it while you can" program..
It did definitely show that people not going to movies isn't a shift in people's enjoyment at theaters and is instead very clearly a cost issue. Price it appropriately and people will be back in the seats. Price it too high and they'll just wait the 3 months until it comes out on streaming/disc or just completely forget about it altogether
Just my $.02
ETA: You're willing to overlook sticky floors or whatever at a $5 matinee, you're not going to overlook it paying nearly $20 and the nicer chairs are now an expectation and not just a 'value add', so that's not enough!
For a camera I've got that I don't care too much about, I had to give it a ~50KB network connection out and then it gets its handshake, but, doesn't have a good enough connection to actually upload video and then all the local features stay working. Eventually, I'll replace it, but, it's monitoring a place that I don't care about too much, so, it's low on the priority list.
Unfortunately, a light doesn't need much in the way of a connection to begin with, but, if it needs some kind of handshake, maybe you can watch the traffic with Wireshark and whitelist that specific traffic or see if someone else has done the work for it (a quick search didn't show anything for me, but, I haven't gone in depth or anything)
It's supposed to be a place to showcase art, not a free place to advertise for your store.
The dude(ette) didn't even post a link though from what I can see, so, the reaction is insane.
Print on demand is easy, so, I'd think any artist who's showing off their work online should have a printer that they've run off a few test prints with already ready to go, in case people are interested enough to ask about purchases, but, I'm not trying to moderate a magazine/community and prevent it from being a giant advertisement, so, ::shrug::
Agreed, they're not supposed to be laws, they're supposed (as far as I understand it anyways) to essentially be "as the head of the Executive branch, here is how I want my underlings to handle/interpret this particular thing that the Executive branch already has authority over" ... it really doesn't make sense that they'd last any longer than that particular Presidents term(s).
They went the extra mile. A lot of it was actual exploits too and not just random HTML like I've seen in some shows, lol. They purposely would change a few things or not show something though to not be accused of showing people how to actually hack. That plus the way they show social engineering being an integral part of the process made it an incredibly refreshing show to watch.
I also loved how in a scene Elliot is starting to technobabble and a character is like "yeah, we know what a Raspberry Pi is dipshit" but he got just far enough in the explanation that if the audience didn't previously know, they still got the jist.
Love the "as long as they don't make it woke" comment in the link, as if the smartest human on the show (Yeah, I said it, Rodney) wasn't a woman and one of the most iconic characters wasn't a black man. If this cast launched today they'd call it woke nonsense.
The article didn't say if this is a reboot or if it's set in the same universe as the originals. For myself, I'm very interested in a continuation, but almost completely uninterested in a reboot.
Absolutely loved this show and very glad it wasn't one that either:
Got cancelled unexpectedly
Stayed on so long it completely lost its plot
Don't get me wrong, I feel it could easily have lasted a few more seasons, but, it was really good for its entire run and that's not a bad thing either.
Also - Don't skip the intro! It's slightly different every time and basically hilarious every time!
Yeah, I had a overall bad experience with everything being buggy and then even devices that weren't connected to tailscale would start trying to ping the tailnet address instead of the local (wasn't using their funky bridge subnets feature or whatever it's called, so I don't know why it would happen).
Their magicDNS is cool in theory but caused me nothing but problems. Once I turned off their DNS and set up my own DNS server for it though, it's gotten to basically be as seamless as they claim it's supposed to be from the start. I'm no longer having any issues with it at all.
Great theory to cover up bad writing, but, unfortunately, the Duffer Brothers have set the story straight!
Fair enough. Another question I had that other people have been asking is once they get to The Abyss, where are all the creatures? Where are the demogorgons, the demodogs, the bats? Are they hiding?
