I learned that from the other reply

I see. I didn’t think I ever heard about that. I’m only familiar with them as in a digital version of paperwork, not a digital copy of a document.

I understand exactly how that happens then.

I’m not a kid (see my other replies in this thread lol), but I’ve never had to use PDFs for much at all. The closest I’ve ever been to editing one is clicking a box to draw a signature or check a checkbox.

So I’ve gotta ask. Why would one need to rotate a PDF? They would be made on a computer, and naturally default to the correct orientation, no? I can’t imagine why one would ever be sideways.

My younger brother will not flinch when talking about playing a first person game, (he says it for every game though) he will say a controller is superior.

Now I understand that there is a lot of wiggle room to debate the “best” input method, but I will die on the hill about a mouse being the best (and maybe best possible) input for look/aiming in a first person sense.

The left hand could use an analog input for sure, but digital movement is so rarely an issue it didn’t matter a whole lot.

I will go as far as to throw him a bone and say that controllers are probably the best for something like a platformer (his genre of choice), or a racing game, or in some cases, 3rd person action. I will typically use Rocket League as an example of that, because that game is one of the few that analog movement is much, muuuch more important than analog camera control.

But keyboard and mouse is so widely usable for (and so often a clear front runner) that I have to dunk on him every time he shits on kb+m.

But then I think about my coming up learning and using computers, and our built in familiarity with kb+m, whereas these days, these scrubs are using touchscreens almost exclusively, and a keyboard just looks ancient right off the bat. And of course anything that “old people” use is definitely just totally obsolete and gross as soon as something else comes out.

So I give him consideration in that regard, but it saddens me that he won’t think critically enough to understand the differences, and is not thinking about it. His brain is very literally saying “old way bad, new way good”.

He’s still too young, but damn the communication barrier is frustrating.

Tablets… in use at 2nd grade…

Damn. I know whether to call you a baby or call myself a geezer anymore.

The Internet itself didn’t even become widely available until I was in 4th grade or so. Windows 95 was only a year old when I got my very first access to any computing device beyond a very simple calculator.

Being “online” wasn’t a permanent status, it only applies for as long as you were allowed to tie up a phone line.

I could say more, but you’ve heard a bunch of back in my days already probably.

I got used to looking for registry tweaks, but I don’t even know what to call it exactly.

The closest I’ve got is: A place for accessing hidden settings in Windows. I’ve made a couple typos in there and nuked an install or two of XP, but I never really changed much personally. Just kinda looked up various ways people would use it to accomplish x, y, or z, out of curiosity.

I don’t have to deal with it anymore at least.

Something something ludicrous display.

Oh man reading the previous comment instantly reminded me of this problem I haven’t had any encounter with since I left high school. I’ve never heard of that, but if I ever had any reason to write anything I would love it to be one of these.

The only writing I’ve done in YEARS is signing my name on screens at doctor offices and pharmacies.

I wonder what my “none of that” says.

Seriously though, I haven’t messed with any stickers since the last time I had a chrome bumper (my first car). I’ve never (that I remember) stuck anything on the windows at all. I think stickers on paint just looks fucking stupid as shit, but nothing (besides trucks and work vans) has anything but fiberglass bumpers anymore.

I’ve always had decision paralysis about them ever since. I don’t really wanna say “come rob me”, (not that I own even 1 valuable thing worth stealing besides the car itself- and I don’t even own that yet).

I live in a pretty extremely red area (blue state, but very red region), so I’m not trying to give “please hit me” to probably 70% of drivers.

I don’t want the satanic stuff because I hate religious stuff in all forms, even when mocking Christianity, and I have to park in my parents’ driveway sometimes and while they wouldn’t do anything, I feel like it would be uncomfortable. They know I vote blue, but they still have no idea about the atheism. Yet.

I could do a band sticker I guess. Not that a big chunk of people have heard of it, so who am I metaphorically high fiving?

Right now the car is basically blank. No stickers, no bumper stickers, no decoration, and even the inside is almost completely empty. If you looked in my window you might see the cable that I use to make my android auto wireless instead of wired. But it just looks like a regular charging cord from what you can see easily.

Car is even still (relatively) new, so there isn’t even a “personalized mess”. It’s just empty unless I’ve just recently left a quick grocery trip, which might see me with groceries in the interior floor instead of trunk.

Even has a standard generic state license plate that isn’t customized.

The absolute most you would know about me from coming across my car in a random parking lot is just the kind of car itself being a hybrid, so you could maybe deduce that I hate the entire oil industry’s entire existence.

If I lived somewhere that had a decent amount of chargers, I would have an EV (definitely not a Tesla though, and that would be another thing you would learn about me I guess). I know I could get a home charger too but that doesn’t work in my current situation, so hybrid is about the best I can do for right now.

Hopefully this car lasts me until either chargers are way more common, or EVs themselves are cheaper. And since it’s by far the youngest car I’ve ever owned, and I put a whopping 1k (yes, one k) miles on it in the almost year I’ve owned it, I imagine it will last that long. If the US isn’t a crater before that anyway.

Check-a check-a check-a da eeeeemails.

I mean I’m just trying to help.

Just so you know, this attitude is signing the “I acknowledge I’m stepping in shit and have no right to complain when shit gets on me later” line.

I’m not trying to side with your boss here, this advice is for your own good.

Stop using company phones for personal use. Wtf are you thinking

Eight hundred twenty threeth.

Oh you mean the ground here. Lol it makes a lot more sense that way 😂

Just misinterpreted the wording. Carry on.

So if the robot shoots the portal on the ground and then itself, what good does a set of portals that are both on Mars do?

The usage of those terms became blurred immediately, as far as general public awareness goes.

If you use enough brain cells to be above “lol, I like that clip clicks like lolol”, then you’re labeled a nerd.

If you’re familiar with any acronyms that have to do with tech, then you’re a super nerd.

Why put one on the robot? Am I missing something?

I’m deathly ill.

I mean you would still need to poop. But you wouldn’t have to worry about the time or your situation.

How old is this photo? He definitely didn’t have that hair in the actual clip. Why is this the shot being used instead of one from the actual day of?
