I believe my Bravia was showing 1080p when connected to PS3 via HDMI, but I might be misremembering. But yes, it had inputs galore on the back.

And it accepts 1080p, but downsamples it to the resolution you mentioned.

Maybe they are mixing him up with Jimmy Fallon? Kimmel is perfectly watchable based on the few times I saw him. Can’t stand fake Fallon though.

I only know the House M.D. intro song, but I do like it. Mezzanine, I think?

Sure, he might be doing it for the wrong reasons, but at least he’s doing the “right” thing. Isn’t that the best one could expect of him?

Criticizing someone else’s censorship in order to defend your own right to free speech is as valid a reason as any. In fact, I’d say it’s the very point.

Ngl, that second meme is so bad, it hurts me physically. “iPad” for workstation OS? If they meant iPadOS, it would’ve been “iOS” at the time anyone would consider Vista.
Linux is “unlimited”? As in “open source”?

And honestly, in early 2010s, when Vista was still relevant, Linux wasn’t really a choice yet (for the vast majority). I know, cause I tried.

Sure, but they wouldn’t have worded it like that.

Sarcasm here is too obvious to be pointed out.

It was ironically used as a means to make fun of people who use the term…

I don’t understand why you’re downvoted. Do people completely ignore context?

I’m aware of some DOS games that did it. For example 1989 Prince of Persia had you enter the exact character (page, line, word) from the manual.

On PS1 you’d probably never complete Metal Gear Solid (1998), cause you need to call somebody on the codec, but the frequency was on the box cover.

They are right, it was used for that. Sometimes some key information for progress would be in the manual or on the box. Luckily it wasn’t super popular on consoles, due to the notion that it wasn’t as easy to pirate on consoles as it was on home computers, where you could just copy the floppy/CD.

I’m not sure I understand. What point?

Yeah, that was the case early on. But because of that problem we were very incentivized to learn English. Which we did pretty fast.

Psh. As a kid in a post-soviet country I hadn’t seen a game manual up until PS3 days. Every single cartridge and disc sold there was just that. Best case scenario in a flimsy plastic case that would disintegrate in a couple of years. Had to rawdog the shit out of those games. Pure trial and error and perseverance.
Stuck? Try every possible button combination in every location that makes any sense.

For example, couldn’t finish Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster’s Hidden Treasure on Mega Drive (Genesis) because I didn’t know you can jump off walls. Finished it earlier this year though 🙃

Not to brag, but my brother and I passed the garage test mission in Driver (PS1) as kids. Now that I think about it, I should put it on my resume.

They’ve got a lot of distros to try out, y’know?

Reinstalling Windows is a generations-honored ritual.

Nowadays there are several tools where you tick options and do it in one click.
