Phonetically, 'za should be short for lasagne, and 'sa for pizza… or people can just say the damn words.

Whatever, I guess. Peeps gon’ slang slang, for real, for real. 🤦‍♂️

I got to meet Legaia’s creator Hidenori Shibao. He also created Lennus (“Paladin’s Quest” that I enjoyed on SNES in my youth) and its sequel.

The company that made my TV is engaged in copyright infringement, you say? Transmitting copyrighted images over the Internet for profit?

Huh.

You have packages held.

Commodore 64. My father traveled for business and eventually brought home an SX-64 that I still have! Castles of Dr. Creep! 😁

Grandparents had a Visual Commuter with no LCD.

Grade school had a few TI-99/4As and one Apple //e, until the computer lab was installed with IIgses served by a Mac.

Castle Adventure

I played this on a Visual Commuter (with no LCD?). Amber monitor with nice long phosphor persistence. My grandmother loved to point out the typos… “You are in a Cooridor.”

I saw one Microsoft help page in which the customer service agent recommended to cut power to the PC during the Windows 8 or 10 boot process, three times! After three failed boots, newer Windows will bring up the UEFI boot options dialog.

My Sharp PC-7000 has a Setup key on the keyboard.

Sometimes this works. Sometimes it makes the PC speaker beep for two minutes straight while it slowly makes its way through the keyboard buffer.

Thanks! I had not heard about the MOS glue logic ICs being flaky before.

Look into OpenWRT, FreshTomato, etc. Depends on your model of router (advanced: build your own!) It accomplishes the same thing as a PiHole.

Use DNS-based blocking. I put Tomato firmware on my router and block for all devices on my network. Rethink can selfhost DNS on Android too.

I hear this as often as I hear “jalapeno” (missing the eñe) 😑

I’m thinking of old text adventure games where it would repeat your invalid command back to you.

>eat pussy

I can't "eat" a "pussy" right now!

>fuck yourself

I can't "fuck" a "yourself" right now!

The period is used as a placeholder for numbers that don’t share a value with an ASCII printable text character.

Look, if he was dying, he wouldn’t bother to type “aarrggh”. He’d just say it!

Sorry, I was not trying to put words in your mouth. I just usually hear, “Linux not good for me because it doesn’t support my setup well enough” when it should be “Linux not good for me because the manufacturers of my hardware don’t support Linux well enough”. Trying to put blame where it belongs in hopes of raising awareness to both users and manufacturers.

I also mistakenly thought you mentioned a newer Nvidia card when you are considering AMD. 🤦‍♂️ Good luck in your computing future!
