What about the experience is miserable? I’m just curious as I really like it.

Oof. Then that seems more on the ops side of things. Interesting. I can’t wait for them to never share what happened so we can all continue to speculate. 😂

As someone that works in QA, yeah, they needed something to catch this. I saw someone mention somewhere without a source that they missed it as all test machines have their full suite of software installed. In that scenario, the computer wasn’t affected. So for QA it seems their labs might need to be more in tune with the user base.

However, the fact that they are able to push this so quickly worldwide seems like a big process issue. I get 0 day issues and that is how they justify it. But deploy to a small subset of customers before going global seems more reasonable.

Windows terminal is now my preferred terminal. I use it on a daily basis at work, and adding in WSL just makes things easier in general for Windows. My google search history is no longer Powershell eqicalent for X in linux.

TIL. I was embarrassed to use it and was so confused. Probably should have looked I to it.

Been down this path before. The water pump on my fridge wasn't pushing through with hardly any water pressure. Replaced it, felt hella accomplished.

I think the worry is buying parts when it could be a couple of different things going wrong. Taking the time/money to do it and then find out it's the other part is just infuriating. Maybe that's just me.

I keep waiting for better profile management. Not saying it needs to mirror chrome exactly, but feature wise it falls short (at least how I would like to use it).

I got the wireless 5450s. Had to replace the controller. Getting the replacements it was a guess between the sub and the controller. Which netted me backup of everything except the controller. Still works just fine and was used as primary surround sound until recently.

I hadn't given it much thought as so many of the legacy systems I worked with were case sensitive. But I'm with you. Except for passwords.

This happened where I work. An inexperienced team was making changes to a shared code base. They made changes to make usernames case insensitive, without thinking about them ready being case sensitive. So if you logged in with user CAT123, you might get cat123's info. And then I was left on the team that had to clean up their mess and find and understand the impact.

So it's a different concept that you have to wrap your head around for it. I've had more success solving things backwards. On some of the longer puzzles I have a spreadsheet running for the order of things, as I kept doing them in the wrong order. But most puzzles are short enough that isn't required.

The funny thing is that I was stuck on two puzzles and every time I have been stuck the reason is that I didn't think of the concept of rewinding things properly. I was stuck on trying to throw things or drop them perfectly. I've only looked up to solutions so far and really kicked myself for spoiling it. The game does a good job of teaching the techniques, you just have to be savvy enough to use them.

But if you enjoyed Portsl, you're most likely going to enjoy it. Fun puzzles, snarky robot, saving the world. Very inspired by Portal, but it does a good job of being its own thing.

Still working through Entropy Center. I'm working through level 9 at the moment. Also the original Karamari Damacy went on sale, so might start that.
