Ich war $HEUTE Jahre alt, als mir klar wurde, dass “Kellerspeicher” das Wort “Speicher” enthält, was ja ein Dachboden ist, der für Lagerung benutzt wird.

Also praktisch Kellerdachboden.

Has that new shell that Microsoft promised already arrived on released Windows? I can’t find a good search term (“new shell” is kinda useless) and don’t see it offhand. Would like to run my Ubunto WSL in something nicer.

Was just reminded of the TV show M.A.N.T.I.S.:

So … erm … when is Season 2 of The Witcher?

Spoiler-free Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker verdict:

Totally predictable but still fun and good at what it does, and it works as an ending to the trilogy.

Also worked around missing actors very well.

TIL the struct = value type, class = reference type distinction I first encountered in Swift has apparently been in C# for ages already.

If something’s weird on your MSI laptop, check the “Dragon Center” app. It has some really badly labeled options that can easily be turned on by accidental keypresses, like turning on power saving mode (turns any movie/animation into a slide show), turning off Windows key etc.

BTW – I posted about the 32-bit transition and why Apple would do it here: http://orangejuiceliberationfront.com/why-are-32-bit-apps-dying/

Did the “Xbox Game Pass for PC” 1 EUR thing to try The Outer Worlds? Want to transfer your saves to the version from the Epic Store?

The “The Outer Worlds Windows 10” folder contains a folder with a number as the name. Copy that into the Save Games folder as “The Outer Worlds”.
