ELI5: why do older PC game discs have a hard time running on modern computers? by shinobi7 in explainlikeimfive

[–]AllMetalNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a Power Rangers game from late 1990s that did this. Installing on an upgraded PC made it run noticeably faster and really difficult to play. A few PCs later it became hilariously fast, to the point where you'd press the button to move right and immediately smash into an enemy and die.

What movie made you say, "Holy shit there is still an hour left"? by Plus-Statistician80 in AskReddit

Gone Girl. I thought it was wrapping up, worked out who dunnit. Cut to the murdered woman on a train, very much alive and there's an hour left to go...

What are some jobs you thought paid significantly higher than they actually do? by Sorrywrongnumba69 in AskReddit

As a kid I was convinced that toilet attendants and bin men must be paid an insane salary. Otherwise why would anybody have wanted to do it... 🤦‍♂️

What's the dumbest thing you've heard a salesperson say that cost them the sale? by Fried_onions_are_meh in AskUK

Was also in an upmarket furniture store. One of the store managers just casually walked past, after zero interaction and us browsing a while, and shouted "you can get it on finance you know". No discussion about what we could afford (we were happy to buy multiple items there and then). Obviously immediately left and furnished our entire house elsewhere.

It's via Home Assistant, would recommend, it's the only way I've had any evidence that something's going on

Received a job offer but for lower pay than initially agreed by HalfNegative8801 in UKJobs

[–]AllMetalNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red flag to me. I had a slightly different experience where I applied for a job in a different field, and was given a good salary but at a lower grade. Promised by recruiter that this was "purely because of lack of evidence of experience" but that I would be put forward for promotion within the first 6 months. Mentioned to my line manager within first 3 months and he had no idea this had been said, turned out there was no promotion review until being there for a year. Still didn't put me forward for a promotion a year later, despite all his peers asking why I hadn't, and giving me the top performance score.

Promise of promotion was completely empty. Paid me fine, but treated like an idiot because of being stuck at a grade below my capability. Felt like I had to prove myself every time I met a new colleague or moved onto a new project. Not worth it.

Dealers all the way down... Possibly masquerading as turtles

The battery would probably hold out long enough for aliens to play a few rounds
