“leave me to do my dark bidding in peace”.
“Oh, what are you bidding on?”.
“A table”

At least your knives will be sharp

There are actually a lot of newer excel features that are not cross compatible.

I was running 2010, then 2013 for a very long time. Eventually I started running into compatibility issues when collaborating on professional and hobby projects until it got to a point where I went for 365. It’s a shame that it’s subscription, but it’s definitely great software

I think by the time we reach some future extreme of data density, it will be in a method of storage beyond our current understanding. It will be measured in coordinates or atoms or fractions of a dimension that we nullify.

I wasn’t a fan of bandersnatch, and I ended up watching a passive edit of the Kimmy Schmidt special.

I discovered very soon into bander that I’m not interested in interactive television. About half way it started feeling like a chore, and then when I found there was dead ends and multiple endings I was looking for the next natural ending to turn it off. If I was watching it alone I probably would have just quit on the spot.

I go to television to be told a story. If I want a game, I’ll go play a video game with a controller better than a TV remote.

Traditional pasta was folded up to 100 times because of the impurities in the pasta. It’s not necessary with modern materials and mostly done now for ornamental lasagna.

I don’t think I’m interested.

I think it’s taking a different path then the last two, but I don’t see why it has to be part of the franchise rather than a new movie. I don’t think the first two did enough to warrant a whole franchise.

If you fire a weapon in space, someone is going to have a bad day. It just might be thousands or millions of years in the future, light-years away.

How times have changed. I used to have print outs in my filing cabinet with virus removal guides from all the various times I contracted digitally transmitted diseases online.

Lucas famously make things up as he went, and retconned many things along the way.

Originally Luke’s sister was a yet to be introduced character, not Leia. The film titled “Star Wars” was retroactively changed to become Episode 4. Han Solo was frozen at the end of one of the films because he wasn’t sure if Harrison Ford would be back. They even changed the voice of Vader in post production, and the original actor found out when he watched the premiere. If you watch the prequels and original trilogy back to back there are glaring potholes. You can’t even officially get the original versions of the movies because Lucas doesn’t want them to be available.

History disagrees. It’s very hard to go against cultural norms, and in many cases can result in being ostracized, imprisoned, or put to death.

I think this is a disingenuous take. Different cultures all have their own taboos. Is it all social constructs? Yea, sure, but that doesn’t make them invalid within context. By nature they aren’t logical.

And better hardware means there is no longer a requirement to optimise.

What was “if we don’t make this code more efficient, it won’t run on modern computers”, turned into “we don’t need to make this code efficient because modern computers will be able to run it”

Was that a ccna certification? I’ve heard they are quite strict on home exam conditions

They are providing extra service. Using Plex on mobile is now free for everyone, which is a huge step forward. It’s not a bad trade off for server owners to require Plex pass for remote viewing (which is only necessary if you’re not using a VPN like tailscale for free remote viewing).

I don’t get why people are freaking out over a one off fee to unlock something that has running costs for Plex, which itself isn’t necessary if you just opt for a free VPN client like tailscale.

OP couldn’t comprehend an email, and when everyone tried to reassure them that nothing for them has changed they doubled down. The closest thing to justification I can figure is “all my clients are borderline illiterate as well and it upset them”.

How in the world could you be upset that a product you already paid for is not providing that specific feature for free anymore. They’ve even made the phone software free!

How many people with a folder full of media also know how to safety expose a home server to the internet? It would be less than 1%.

Meanwhile, you don’t need network engineer levels of knowledge to run Plex for remote access. You download the software, choose the folder, and send your friends a share link.

Fishburne was very diplomatic when asked for his opinion on the finished Matrix 4: “it was better than I expected, but not as good as I had hoped”.

Hugo weaving, the actor for Smith, didn’t appear in the film due to alleged scheduling conflicts, but I suspect he took a look at the script and noped out of it.

It’s a shame, it could’ve been good.

No, it is imperative that they keep retreading the existing formula and include lots of call backs that fans will remember /s

After looking at the list, I get the feeling that most stories if historical intrigue are PT Barnum style hoaxes. Life is much more boring than we were led to believe.
