TLL (Tornado Low Level) on the ZX Spectrum was amazing at the time, and Cyclone was a sort of follow up but I don’t know if it was the same developer or anything.

Are you talking about 1 or 2? I always thought 2 was better and introduced a load of mechanics (to me at least) that are commonplace nowadays. This was the first FPS game I played where getting found during a stealth mission didn’t completely ruin everything. And the concept of unkillable enemies that you can only run from.

tar -xvf filename I don’t even know what it does but I’ve memorised it.

I hear the petition to get KMail ported to Windows just hit a gazillion signatures.

Is this why green sweets are usually lime flavoured when they should all be apple flavoured?

Linux is the best it’s ever been but it’s still too complicated for normal people. Most people don’t even know what a VM or a driver is. I would disagree that drivers are no more of an issue on Linux than Windows. You can plug upwards of 99% of devices into Windows and they’ll just work. Barely and vendors provide support for Linux, not that that’s the fault of anyone really. I can understand why vendors don’t want to commit resources and Linux can’t have built in support for everything.

There’s also OVPN. They do all the stuff people like Mullvad for but they own all their own hardware and they’ve had their no-logging policy tested in court.

I’m kinda expecting that it will just be a more powerful Switch. Maybe one day companies will be able to make games that are Switch 2 only but won’t be forced to. Kinda like how nobodies making PS5 exclusives yet.

How exactly will this produce novel new ideas, AI is literally incapable of doing anything it hasn’t already been trained to do.

The problem is that America has all the money.

About to head off to work but I think Netgear make one, but it’s like 6-7x more expensive. And it’s probably made in China anyway.
