Well, I have a 200mb maxtor IDE works just fine to this day.

The classic Deathstars™ ["Deskstar"]

Heh funny you post this. My example of poor pathfinding is OpenRA but I quit following that project when it was clear they were heavily biased towards their gameplay and focused on odd features over making the basics (pathfinding) work.

It's not just apple - windows and android autocorrect are more auto incorrect these days.

Your statement isn't incorrect - but I think it needs a slight qualification of "And none of them are acceptable". Both Apple and Android have regressed in quality and it's only possible because of a duopoly.

Is there a windows autocorrect? I thought that was a feature implemented by the individual program, not any sort of OS functionality.

I can't tell about windows - never used autocorrect there - but GBoard became laughable. I don't think I was able to use its suggestions since a few years. For instance, it will NEVER but really never put a uppercase I when I'm talking about myself. Never. I could select it from suggestions if I feel like, but I kinda gave up (this is written in Windows, that's why you see capital Is). Or my name, used quite often right, is also never spelled correctly - although it's there in the suggestions. I am using a yahoo email, GBoard knows the username, but it will ALWAYS suggest a gmail extension, which simply doesn't exist. I don't know any other keyboard which can properly handle multiple languages, so I'm stuck with GBoard, but it's nothing to be proud of.

I have the same email @yahoo.com and @gmail.com (one is mostly for online shops etc), and the amount of time GBoard thinks it needs to recommend @gmail.com, it's obnoxious...

But the correction offers are still okay for me, I can mash keys around my email username and one of the corrections offered will be my username...


SwiftKey can handle languages, but it kind of sucks too , lol. It crashes all the time

No it cannot. SwiftKey has exactly two "languages": one is French, the other is German/English/Italian/Romanian. Yes it's a mash of all four, which makes the default swiped word and the suggestions exactly useless. Who the hell thought that was a good idea... only Samsung keyboard offers separate languages as well, but it's kinda worse in suggestions than GBoard.

Isolated I get why you're baffled, but given GM being GM this is par for the course.

Check out their history of EV or hybrid vehicles or even the history of Saturn - they stumble onto something awesome that people love and it's the company mission to destroy it.


One of the things not discussed here is that for many wait staff wages are far lower than our pathetic minimum wage (USA) so these people tend to make sub poverty to start with on the promise of tips.

I do agree though that the whole culture was broken before and now with payment kiosks asking for tips everywhere it's absurd.


We are being attacked!

This isn't as fun as using the g-man from half life to verify

There used to be a website that has these installable.

Update - it's just the games; I thought it had notepad and calc as well


qpong, generations mod, catch the chicken, red rover, weapons of mass destruction, 4 way ctf, freeze tag....so many good mods

Unless it's scroll bar theming then my God it's bad. it told me it gives up. Gemini 3 got stuck but the right prompt it did work.
