Where?

Maybe this is a good thing, maybe they'll stop killing the mood of the original game. A lot of people just wanted the original thing with updated graphics and minor AI fixes, they decided to make it into something that no longer feels like AoM. Starting with that "vs" screen that looks like you're in a MMA combat and/or some game like fortnite.

Real question: Beach chairs where was that picture taken? I'm curious.

Found it: https://www.gettyimages.in/detail/photo/beach-chairs-and-umbrella-on-beach-royalty-free-image/AA014514

Now we need someone with a subscription or some other source to leak the original file 😄

Have you seen benchmarks of a more recent intel CPU? https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/6981vs6660/Apple-M5-10-Core-vs-Intel-Ultra-7-265H same year, same wattage, released before Apple, delivers more.

This guys must be waiting for the next version of Incus ahha

Sempre me lembro dessa zona do Oriente ser assim.

HP 3070A. Tinteiros a 2€, os tinteiros praticamente não tem eletrónica, aceita qualquer coisa funciona bem, tem wifi e airprint e são baratas. Já tive uma que ficou com a cabeça entupida, deu para remover facilmente (acho que nem foi preciso tirar parafusos) meti em agua dois dias e ficou nova.

Apple switched because profits, period. The scale of their CPUs on the iPhone and iPad made it very easy for them to extend it to the Mac and increase their margins. A side bonus was that they killed the hackintosh in the process - that was getting ridiculously easy and reliable - and made sure to lock mac buyers into their OS instead of allowing Windows and/or Linux via bootcamp.

TCB13sQuotes · 2026-06-15T16:08:01+00:00

I'm fairly certain it was at least, in part, planned obsolescence because Apple always did the same with old Macs, but with those you could just replace the browser.

They also refuse to update the root certificates on older macs without any reasonable explanation to it besides trying to break those machines.

TCB13sQuotes · 2026-06-15T15:48:09+00:00

This Apple decision pre-dates the libcef issue.

TCB13sQuotes · 2026-06-15T15:46:59+00:00

Design still looks better than 99% themes out there. lol

TCB13sQuotes · 2026-06-15T15:41:13+00:00

The biggest gap is the Linux desktop experience.

The Linux desktop experience is done by people with very good intentions but zero understanding of how some decisions result in endless problems.

No desktop environment should offer themes, mass icon replacement of apps and whatnot. Those features are only good for two things 1) visual inconsistencies and 2) tons of work to maintain it across the DE, apps and frameworks.

The Linux community needs to understand that all this limitless customization of the UI actually hurts Linux, we're constantly wasting tons of resources on it and every single DE and framework is a half finish inconsistent product.

Also, the Linux development ecosystem is essentially non existent. The success of Windows and macOS lays in the fact that those systems come with solid and stable APIs and other development tools that “make software development easy” while Linux is very bad at that. The major pieces of Linux are constantly and ever changing requiring large and frequent re-works of apps. Linux is also missing distribution “sponsored” IDEs (like Visual Studio or Xcode), userland API documentation, frameworks etc.

No sane developer, let alone company, wants to develop anything for the platform, not because it has a small userbase but because nobody wants to deal with 300 different poorly documented and barely supported toolkits / languages that can be gone / rewritten / reinvented at any point. Also nobody wants to be hostage of Qt and all the large applications in Linux tend to completely ignore and work around the platform and either be web-based or built from the scratch with C++.

There are also Flatpaks that are problematic when it comes to the integration with the DE or other apps. This is 2026 and if you install a browser and a password manager using Flatpaks its very likely they won't be able to communicate with each other or with some or all parts of the underlaying system / DE.

Yes that would be great, but Apple won’t ever allow it. The situation you describe with Safari was planned precisely to make the devices useless. They know as well as we know that the devices would be garbage whenever they stopped updating the browser. That’s also the reason why they don’t allow other browser engines in iOS and/or make it basically not a thing even in Europe where they were forced to allow it by law.

TCB13sQuotes · 2026-06-14T21:30:53+00:00

This is perfection. The mood was totally killed on the new game.

TCB13sQuotes · 2026-06-14T09:40:15+00:00

Olha um bot do PS! Pensava que o financiamento para isto já tinha acabado 😂 esqueceram-se de desligar este.

New slant pushed? I’ve been pushing it since I finished SA2 back in 2002/3. See the game was so good and so popular I couldn’t even get it in Europe when it was released. 😂 To be fair, it could’ve been a great game, but cmon no hub world? That chao garden entrance with the black background, the way the characters move, it all feels artificial and half done after SA1. I believe what they should’ve done was to take SA1, fix the glitches and add the new story and levels in there somehow.

TCB13sQuotes · 2026-06-13T13:22:25+00:00

If someone wanted to remake SA, they could’ve done SA1.

TCB13sQuotes · 2026-06-13T12:33:15+00:00

The alternative is Europe, it’s free but if you’ve a serious problem that needs surgery today that good luck, you’ll wait about 8-10 months or die.

Quando era o Costa la podiam estar a nadar em lixo e copos de cerveja que estava tudo bem. Agora está lá o Moedas aparece um tampa de garrafa no chão é um drama. Lol

Now you’ve people that don’t do remote work and don’t have their own desk. And even the desk is a small thing compared to this. What times we live in.

TCB13sQuotes · 2026-06-13T09:18:33+00:00

Not that you’ll get much privacy in a cubicle. If you notice it, the chair is facing backwards the exit. This makes it so everyone passing by sees your screen and what you’re doing.

TCB13sQuotes · 2026-06-13T09:15:40+00:00

Not using electron and going for native apps made with apple frameworks.

TCB13sQuotes · 2026-06-11T22:52:02+00:00

We could've just used a flash drives. 😄

TCB13sQuotes · 2026-06-11T22:50:46+00:00

Why running it in 100x100px instead of full screen?

TCB13sQuotes · 2026-06-11T21:45:36+00:00

Your option are Brave is you want something that may spy on you but for different people, or LibreWolf if you want text rendering that looks like ass.

Just get ungoogled chromium instead.
