This is notable because XYplorer is famous for being a modern 2020s application whose 32-bit version is still written in Visual Basic 6: https://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=VB6 …

This is my first time seeing the term XR (Extended Reality) and I like it because it implies the inevitability of ER (Extinguished Reality)

I'm sad that Electronic Viewfinder, Interchangeable Lens (EVIL) didn't catch on

XBOX has outlived its usefulness now that all the anti-General-Purpose-Computing “““Security””” bullshit has metastasized fully-formed over to regular PCs after incubating for twenty years in console-…

> The idea of it could work as a science fiction novel, if it weren't so plausibly true. Have you played Mass Effect? https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Saren_Arterius#All…

Correct; not a complaint :)

> Have I misunderstood? It doesn't count the glass shop bill when the fire fighters gleefully fuck up your car to run the hose between the side windows.

I was impressed that HN's automatic submission editor stripped the Q-word out of the headline of this post. I had only previously seen it make leading omissions (“Why…”, “How I…”, “The Story of…”…

> The SF Van Ness BRT is an excellent example - I used to routinely get off the 49 bus and walk faster than it stuck in car traffic It's funny that you use that particular example considering …

It's different when it's on a backlit display. Real-world objects are lit with reflected light, not with projected light straight into your eyeballs.

The Netscape thing isn't that far-fetched, though. Sega Saturn had PlanetWeb in 1996: https://segaretro.org/NetLink_Custom_Web_Browser And I 'member the LinksBoks web brow…

Only for gaming and for piracy. I also need it for BD ripping since DVDfab Passkey operates as a Windows driver.

I'm using rEFInd (because it's pretty!) and have the UEFI executable priority set, so as long as Windows doesn't reformat my ESP I should be fine. Or if it does I at least know how to f…

> FreeBSD Great to hear that about Proton though!

I'm not telling you to use Windows. I'm telling you I use Windows lol It sucks a lot actually, and everything that's good about it is good despite what Microsoft do to it and not becaus…

The BitLocker thing? I turned off the TPM and “““Secure””” Boot so it shouldn't do that.
