But once it’s recompiled it runs so smooth.

Between season 18 and 19 was when the movie came out it IMDb’s dates are correct.

I think they’re just saying that if you’re a multi billionaire and get a 50% net worth fine, you’re still a billionaire once it’s done.

So this makes Amazon, Microsoft and Google jumping on board the nuclear energy train. Meta would have to be the next domino surely?

I can see where you got watch from looking at the picture as a thumbnail rather than a full image!

Probably had leftover screens after they stopped making the 3DS and wanted to use them for something.

An Apple TV actually fits this use case pretty well. Being Apple most providers will have native apps available for the device (they definitely have Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+), it comes with a remote but supports using other infrared remotes (you can train it to recognise specific buttons so doesn’t matter what remote you use), and you can also control it from your phone (it works natively for iOS but there are Android apps that can do it too).

For casting, if you use Apple devices it’s easy with AirPlay. If you use Android devices there are apps you can get that support Chromecast, however haven’t ever used them personally so can’t comment on their effectiveness.

And to date Apple haven’t put ads into the tvOS interface. It’s basically a grid of apps and you just open the one you want to watch. It’s been our primary TV device for years now, and is simple enough to use that even my 60 something tech adverse mum likes using it.

That’s basically what I got out of it as well. They’re not trying to give the police access to our devices, they’re trying to get the police to become users of Apple tech themselves.

For most of my internal services that are sitting behind Traefik I use step-ca which basically gives you a Let’s Encrypt style certificate while working over the local network. The root CA has a long expiry (so might not be what you want if your goal Is a short lived root CA) but the actual certificates for each service are short lived (a touch over 24 hours from memory?)

Capitalism?

I saw a similar comment in the last week or so (might have been on TikTok?) but it was specifically Japanese court that they’d said they’d never lost in. I don’t know if it’s accurate though, took it at face value and didn’t really think much about it.

For me personally I think it has to be the new Alliance Raid. As a 10 year FFXI player I’m very much looking forward to visiting Vana’diel again, and honestly there are few things more fun in this game than day 1 alliance raids when no one knows the mechanics and gear isn’t causing you to skip mechanics!

Another quiet week in game though, got my White Mage to level 80 so I’ve been able to equip the poetics weapon for my Aerith glam, but honestly I’m not sure I’m going to continue with it. I’m sure part of it it lack of familiarity with the class but I’m just not enjoying it like I enjoy Scholar. Admittedly having a gap closer has been super nice (I managed to gap close into a tower on Cloud of Darkness the other day that no one had taken to avoid it doing a raid wide which felt good), but I miss the flexibility Scholar gives you.

Not gonna lie, I didn’t bother with 80 this week. Didn’t have any of the stuff on hand and didn’t want to spend any money on it 👀

That’s not an uncommon reaction I feel once you complete the main story and are living patch to patch rather than being fully immersed in the world. It’s very easy to get in a rut where you’re playing as a tick the box exercise rather than actively working towards something. I know I’ve had nights where I’ve logged on and thought “okay, now what?”, so complete understand where you’re coming from!

But don’t be afraid to take a step back and have some time away between patches if you’re not finding fulfilment! 7.1 news should be dropping tomorrow so hopefully that gives you something to look forward to, but even if it doesn’t, there’s always plenty of other games out there that you can try if FFXIV isn’t doing it for you at the moment!

Completely get the low motivation. I feel this late into a patch it’s not an uncommon thing. If you’re not working on something else, getting into a rut of capping the 450 tome, get the raid tier tokens, do your custom deliveries, do Doma restoration, etc., isn’t difficult. (I’m literally queuing for Expert roulette as we speak 😅).

Hopefully once the news on 7.1 starts to come out it’ll peak your interest again! And if not? Don’t stress 😊 Letting a couple of patches build to get a bigger hit after a break isn’t a bad thing either!

That sounds like a cool little project! I haven’t taken much time to play with the game’s internals since I play on console so it isn’t really possible, but love to see what people can do with a bit of free time and a curiosity to understand how something works!

I’m also looking forward to the raid, although largely because I was an FFXI player for over 10 years, so am curious to see which parts of the game they decide to use for the basis of the raids.

I’ve had a quiet week this week. Haven’t really ticked much off the to do list other than gaining a few levels on my white mage. Should hit 80 this week and then I can try the 80 poetics weapon @pasty@raru.re suggested for my Aerith glam 😊 Did manage to get two non CT Alliance Raids this week though! (Void Ark and Mhach… but at least they’re not CT!)

For 7.1 I’m going to assume we get our first tribal quests (I’ve already forgotten what they’re rebranded to now 😅), and I reckon it’ll be the Pelupelu. Pretty sure they announced them as one of the groups during the DT media tour (I could be wrong there) and given their involvement and proximity with Tuliyollal they seem the most likely choice.

I figure brand new major features would be slower in coming. But security would be improved.

I feel there’s going to be an element of “old man yells at cloud” here, but that isn’t inherently a bad thing. I just use Windows at work at the moment but there’s very little I do in Windows that I couldn’t do as far back as Windows XP as long as driver support kept up. I don’t use it for the OS, the OS just enables me to use the applications I need.

Same with MacOS. I know Apple always act like every minor enhancement is the greatest thing ever (look, we added Tabs to Finder 🤩), but ultimately the OS is there to act as the pathway between my applications and my hardware.

If the focus switched from features to security, would we really lose anything of value? At a minimum I wouldn’t have family contacting me cause their PC looks different than it did previously (looking at you centralised Windows taskbar 👀).

I assume the extra padding was a function of touch screens becoming more prevalent since trying to hit the 2003 style buttons with a finger was not that easy, although I don’t remember offhand when touch first started becoming a thing in Windows so it might have happened the other way around. But either way it’s likely still a factor in why the ribbon with its extra padding has stuck around.

Hmm, it’s not quite what I’m looking for but it’s a lot better than a lot of options I’ve found so far. Thank you for the recommendation 😊 It’s something I’ll be getting anyway once I hit 80 so will give it a try once I get there!
