@catsalad it’s just bad distinction between lower case and upper case letters. The protector is specifically optimised for use in aluminium smelting plants, and the unique risks found therein.
(I played it some on Game Pass and have reupped on Steam now. 4 hours of power washing pretend things this evening, while actual real chores remain incomplete around me)
Powerwash Simulator is £10 on Steam right now. You know, if you need a massive black hole into which you can shovel your every free minute for the next few weeks.
“Click here to resubscribe”.
Buddy, I scrolled down to the white text on a white background saying unsubscribe, clicked it, filled in my email address, then click the unsubscribe button. This was not in any way an accident.
Does anyone know the name of this type of fence? It's industrial but, beyond that, I have no idea how to describe it!
I think it’s probably time I learned how IPv6 works, does anyone have a decent entry point for that? I’m mostly looking for a high level overview which can tell what topics are worth diving into and which ones are either deprecated or experimental - as an example I know of at least DHCPv6 and SLAAC for config, are they both relevant? Is one clearly better? I have no idea.
Utterly baffling moment as I get a notification that my son wants to install App Store Connect.
Apparently he couldn’t find the App Store app, Googled it, and was given a link to install App Store Connect which opened the App Store app, but he didn’t know that’s what it was.
I think I must be old because somehow I quite severely pulled a muscle in my shoulder by sleeping.

Just played the opening hours of CoD Infinite Warfare. Sadly the man babies insisted ejecting from a fighter jet onto the hull of a massive space ship, bouncing around in zero-G, blowing out the front window, charging through the ship, and jumping out the hanger at the back wasn’t realistic enough so we’ll probably never get another of these again.
Still using this in my lecture on color theory, though the undergrads never get it. (Most of the grads don't either, now, to be fair.)
My kettle died the other day so I’ve been making tea in a saucepan on the hob. It’s induction so it doesn’t really take any long than boiling a kettle, and you get a fantastic brew if you throw the tea bag in at the start. I may just not bother replacing the kettle.
@cmconseils I’m going to put it in the Queen Mary II, just before it departs for a transatlantic crossing.
Every now and then I remember that the UK tech startup scene is actually about 25 people who all know each other. If you hit the right pub on the right night you could cripple the UK economy.
@0xabad1dea oh no, they didn’t optimise it for the user. The user experience has been optimised for better metrics on the Product Manager’s quarterly review packet.
@mdione oh wow. What I’d give to be able to watch DS9 for the first time again, you’re in for a treat.
@mdione I heckle but I love it dearly. Star Trek has had a disproportionate influence on my world view from an early age. 30 years later and I’m watching TNG/DS9/Voyager in order for the umpteenth time.
Oh no, Moriarty just phished Picard and got the command codes for the Enterprise! Starfleet really should require 2FA for things like transferring command of their flagship.
