I’d love to know what you think this “commentary from the beginning” is. Please, elaborate.

The average tech bro doesn’t have the skill to maintain a single system long enough for customizations to matter.

You’ve got that backwards:

Early adopters. I work at a university that owns multiple /24 blocks (and probably an entire /16, but no concrete evidence) because they were assigned during the internet’s infancy.

Unfortunately, a minor design flaw in the audible warning invariably causes all rednecks within earshot to draw and indiscriminately discharge their firearms.

IIRC, Elite used lookup tables for trigonometric functions on certain target platforms (maybe the NES) because memory wasn’t as much of a constraint as computing performance. It’s a barrel of game compressed into a pint of code.

Half-Life 3 was in development between 2013 and 2014, but dropped because Source 2 wasn’t production-ready, according to Geoff Keighley’s The Final Hours Of Half-Life: Alyx. It sounds like it never got further than an early gameplay concept, but saying that it was never even started is incorrect.

Based on that detailed description, the answer is: due to facts and circumstances. Change some of the variables and you might see different results.

But it is a reasonable possibility. More plausible than most predictions. Valve employees have stated that Episode 3 was in some stage of development when it was cancelled, and that several unsuccessful attempts had been made to continue the series. Laidlaw was also still employed at Valve during that period. There’s a very good chance that related material is in the leaked data, even if it isn’t the next mainline game.

It’s a GUI wrapper for PowerShell commands to customize a Windows install, and has a section where you can remove AppX packages (Copilot and similar). And a lot more. I strongly recommend it.

If you would prefer to use PowerShell…

It does. I’ve been able to uninstall everything from Copilot to Edge on my second PC.

Laughs in Europe. OneDrive is legally required to be a one-click uninstall.

Unrelated to the meme, but I have to counter that breathing piece of cargo with a better photo.

Is “being constantly miserable online” how younglings define “bullying” these days? I apologize, I didn’t know. Could you at least call me fat or make fun of my name or interests? Then maybe I’d feel something other than slightly sorry for you. I don’t want to leave you hanging.

Says a lot about you that, of all of her achievements and qualifications, and the fact that she not just revolutionized but practically created the field of consumer-grade wireless VR… you get stuck on her being a woman.

God’s menagerie is vast, but the fences are low.

Still hoping for Metro 2033. I need my gripes with Redux validated.
