Gonna second this, judging from your other comments, you will very much like this game (just don’t confuse it with Outer Worlds). Go in as blind as you can, but if you feel like you’re just not “getting” it and at risk of bouncing off, this video might help you: https://youtu.be/msABa06aiT0

A feature that will not do anything unless you explicitly press a button to start using it is quite literally opt-in, though? Opt-in doesn’t mean “I won’t even know the feature exists without hunting through the settings”. It just means that it won’t start doing things without your consent. Presenting a way to provide that consent in a more visible place than buried deeply in the settings does not make it opt-out. It might be a bit annoying to you, but it has no effect on your user choice or privacy, especially if there’s also a way to globally hide it and any other features like it, including new ones that might be added in the future.

Ah, okay, gotcha. Yeah that’s fair. Not something I’ve ever really used, so wasn’t aware of that. Your comment read to me as if Windows as a whole just didn’t support drag&drop.

Or maybe you’re overestimating the amount of people who actually used that. Spending effort on something that less than maybe 1% of users actually use and that is not load bearing to any important workflows is hard to argue for when you’re a corp that is only concerned about its own bottom line. It’s a pretty rational business decision, even if you (and I) disagree with it.

Sadly not true. Microsoft removed the Start button in a version of Windows before

They didn’t say that every version of windows since then had a start button

First of all they only talked about the start menu, which was still part of 8, even if it was annoying and full-screen. And second they only said that every Windows version that had that allowed you to move the taskbar around. Not that every Windows version so far had it.

Uh, what? Can you clarify what you mean by “drag&drop”? Because dragging and dropping files or text around within or between application windows definitely worked even when Win 11 was new, so you’re probably talking about some specific instance, I assume?

I’ve also never seen a news story about it, because it’s so old news that I just learnt about it in biology class

That sounds like they blew the interview, not you

how would they know there is a difference if that’s their baseline experience?

Then let’s also recommend removing every newborn’s left eye. If their baseline experience is having no depth perception, how would they know the difference, right? Pirates with an eye patch are sexy, and they won’t have issues with eye infections on that side anymore!

Didn’t want to be too combative from the start lol

Like it or not, words have meaning, and black and white thinking is comfortable, but doesn’t help anyone. There is still a massive difference between the gates foundation having a 0.5% stake in Kurzgesagt and them being “owned” by PE, and pretending otherwise just means you’re not actually interested in any kind of productive discussion.

For electric heating, you basically only have two options, heat pumps and resistive. Within just that comparison, 100% is the lower limit.

If you want to compare it to other types of heating, efficiency becomes much harder to measure, because the inputs can differ.

If you’re using electricity generated by burning fossil fuels it’s simple enough, but the “100% efficient” resistive heating loses again because you could just burn the same fossil fuels in your home to heat it directly which is much more efficient.

If you’re using renewable power, then “efficiency” kinda becomes meaningless because you’re using entirely different resources to produce the heat, so you can only try to abstract it by using either money or environmental impact per unit of heat as a stand-in. I don’t have the numbers on it right now so correct me if I’m wrong, but I think resistive heating would actually be more expensive than fossil-fuel based heating, generally speaking - there’s a reason that it’s not really a wide-spread thing for heating whole homes.

So unless I’m wrong on something here, resistive heating is really not going to be among the most efficient options, unless you specifically only look at environmental impact and are using regenerative sources for it. But even then, the heat pump just wins by miles.

It is solid logic, as long as you’re only utilizing heat that would have been produced anyway, independent of whether it’s used productively or not. It goes bad if you start justifying inefficient hardware for longer than you otherwise would have because of it.

Bringing this general issue up in a thread about Kurzgesagt, without also providing evidence that Kurzgesagt specifically is actually part of that issue, is at best irrelevant and at worst misleading though

Do you have actual evidence for Kurzgesagt being among PE-owned channels, or are you just extrapolating? Because the video you linked doesn’t mention them, and a quick search didn’t turn up anything about that.

if you are entitled to using a paid version for free (e. g. students, educators) you cannot opt-out of sharing your code.

That is incorrect. According to the page you linked elsewhere:

For individuals on non-commercial licenses: Data sharing is enabled by default, but you can turn it off anytime in the settings.

(Emphasis mine)

And for all other cases it’s opt-in. No idea how you got from that that you cannot opt-out. It literally says the opposite.

Maybe it’s just a bad joke

there is a direct correlation between the size of the campaign and the number of monitors at the bottom.

From my limited experience, it’s the size/amount of monitors at the top that correlates with company size, not at the bottom. At my 5-person software company, almost everyone works with multiple screens, except one of the three founders who still works mainly on a laptop display at least
