DriveSpace! The more you write to the floppy, the larger it becomes.

I'll remember that as one of the first ocassions of me realizing how full of shit was Microsoft. Trying to abstract file compression away? Ok then. Reporting some asspulled estimated free space?To say nothing about me doing that to every floppy in the house I could get my hands on and making them unreadable elsewhere, because that stuff wasn't installed.

Status: Frankly, I'm impressed. This is a level of pettiness we can all aspire too:
At least they don't make the competition browsers work like shit on their website, unlike certain other tech giant.
Microsoft has a video platform?
Google search drops to feature phone-friendly mode in Firefox for Android. Ugly as hell, no suggestions, no oneboxes, no extra functionality like weather or calculator. But if you change UA to Safari on iOS, everything works flawlessly (except half the results are in AMP which is unusable on Firefox, but I have an extension that forwards you to non-AMP automatically).

Google works fine in Firefox for Android for me. I get suggestions, oneboxes and calculator no problem.

@Atazhaia are you sure you don't have any UA-changing extensions?

I. Decided to try it.
Pardon the Terminator view, it normally doesn't look like that.
-
@Gąska Not as far as I know.
Mozilla/5.0 (Android 8.1.0; Mobile; rv:64.0) Gecko/64.0 Firefox/64.0
Edit: I did a quick comparison and I guess Google looks slightly uglier in Firefox, but I do have the features you say you're missing. And as a bonus I get a link to the Google Mobile page that looks to have been last updated when Android 4.0 was the latest.
-
@Tsaukpaetra huh, they've changed it. Good to know, I can finally uninstall that extension and (hopefully) don't get AMP results anymore.
They're still assholes for this ever being a thing in the first place.

when does your jail time start?
Not for a few years. That's apparently what Google says if the account gets suspended for any reason, including getting hijacked.
Which is great, because it only took three password reset emails before it kicked in. Thumbs up for that, Google!

@stillwater I know a perfect website to link right now, but I'm at work so I'm not gonna do that now.

Should we remind you of it later?

@Applied-Mediocrity I've already got reminded of it. And I don't like it at all.

Just the fact it's a homograph for a common male name. There's no danger of confusion but it doesn't look as 'right' to me as C.LIVE or LIVE(COM) etc..

@Cursorkeys I have opposite taste in this regard - C.LIVE looks much worse than CLIVE to me. Although not having it in all caps would be better.

If it makes you feel any better I took down all network connectivity with bad firewall rules yesterday, including SAN traffic
reload in 0:30
is a god-send if you remember to issue it before you're looking at a frozen session.

@dcon said in The Official Status Thread:
That pid may have been recycled and now you're waiting on some unknown process
You should never look up a process by PID on Windows unless you already know it's alive and will be for a while, since between the time you figure out the PID to look for and actually ask Windows about it, the process could have exited and the PID reused for a completely new process.
That said, if you already have a handle to a process -- say, by being its parent or getting a handle by PID or by someone loaning you a handle and you duplicating that -- the PID will not change or be reused. Process objects are valid until the last handle is closed, regardless of whether the process is alive or not.

Status: Really regretting ever exposing a generic "attributes list" functionality. Designer on the team wants me to create an adapter interface to convert Inventory into Character Attributes.
WTF man, stop treating Attributes at the NoSQL go-to for everything! You're already bloating characters with hundreds of useless attributes for things like "visited this place".Just stop it!

Status: helped my sister figure out what had taken up all of the space on her C: drive after she'd asked me how to wipe Windows and reinstall without messing up her data drive. Turns out it was Premiere's audio cache; cleaning that out freed up about two-thirds of the total space on that drive.
