Unfortunately true. Blocking features generally work pretty well though at least.

No, if you weren't "involved in the scene" and only had the word of the person at the store then you have no idea what an iGPU is, let alone why they weren't up to the task of running the very thing it was sold with.

You were a teenager in a time where teenagers average tech knowledge was much higher than before. That is not the same as someone who just learnt they now need one of those computer things for work. Not everyone had someone near them who could explain it to them. Blaming them for not knowing the intricacies of the machines is ridiculous. It was pure greed by Microsoft and the manufacturers.

I think Windows === Instant Coffee is perfect here

No, it was mostly the manufacturers fault for implying that their machine would run the operating system it shipped with well. Well that and Microsoft's fault for strong arming them to push Vista on machines that weren't going to run it well.

Awesome work!

It is essentially an equivalence gate: A==B.

At least one for each manufacturer that uses it under the hood in a Tivo-like manner

I moved to prism launcher a while ago now and it is by far the best I've used. Great to see it continuing to develop.

SEGATA SANSHIRO! SEGATA SANSHIROOO! SEGA SATURRRRRN SHIROOOOOOO!!!

Sorry, what were we talking about again?

I'd never heard of this before. Installed! Runs remarkably well and way better than bedrock garbage.

This is the main thing that put me off them too. Not going to use some desktop app to allow my server to send email on my behalf. I use Zoho mail now and while it isn't perfect it does what I need.

Inbox was by far the best thing Google have done with email. Still waiting on features they had unique to that app.

 

Hi all!

We have just passed 100 subscribers (massive number I know haha) and I thought it would be a good opportunity to touch base and see what we should do here to increase engagement.

As most of you likely know, I am still a mod over at "the other site" and, though I have strong feelings about what they are doing as a company, I feel the community there has a lot of good people so I intend to continue to perform that role (the "glorified janitor" as one user kindly pointed out).

Having said that, I don't want this place to just be a mirror-universe version of r/judo. Lemmy and similar platforms are built around community first and foremost, and I would love to see that side of things grow.

Access to automated mod tools etc. is obviously much more primitive over here (feel free to leave suggestions if you have any) so automated posts and such are likely to be more difficult for now, but is there anything y'all wish we could do here?

Obviously one of the big draws of r/judo is the amazing wiki that Geschichtenerzaehler has put together and I have no intention of stealing that for here (though I'd be happy to copy it here if he was okay with it of course). We don't have anything like that, however I'd love to hear what you all think we could do to make this more than just a dumping ground of a few videos here and there.

Cheers!

One of my students sent me this link and I think I'll be digging into the details for ages.

Watching this is like seeing "my game" but actually performed properly haha

Great use of similar entries to set up throws in different directions, depending on uke's reactions.

Came across this again while looking for a video for a student.

Some absolutely amazing detail and movement. Every time I watch it I get something new.

 

Extremely underrated channel.
