It moves the value of register (a CPU memory cell) rbx to register rax. It’s not that important though.

Basically the comic shows that the CPU is happily chugging along, executing instructions when suddenly the keyboard sends an interrupt telling the CPU it must stop all work and listen to whatever it has to say.

That was how keyboards worked before USB (back when they used PS/2 or DIN connectors). With USB it’s the other way around: the device gets polled X times per second to check if it has any data to send.

Could very well be, our family PC running Windows 95 also showed this screen after shutdown, had an actual power button and required manually pressing it to turn off the pc.

So is comparing a Microsoft bug to the highlight of the Apollo project and conveniently ignoring all the setbacks that both led up to and followed it.

I don’t mind bashing Microsoft where warranted, but this just feels like cherry picking from a long list of technical and procedural failures.

Apollo 1:

Fire, I smell fire. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Outlook malfunctioning is extremely tame compared to the issues the early space program ran in to. Somehow this meme really rubs me the wrong way.

He and Michiel van den Bos basically wrote the soundtrack of my youth. Really bizarre to see Siren is struggling to land a full time job. Sad times indeed.

Hey, but Iran was begging for a deal only a week ago, right? Trump’s (sh)Art of the Deal is really working out isn’t it?

Just, uhh, leave all that shit on IX, with their Axalotl Tanks out of it.

Axlotl tanks aren’t Ixian though, that’s Bene Tleilax tech. It’s basically what’s left of their women.

Must suck if somebody comes to claim your stuff as part of a Special Veterinarian Order. 🌻

I’m using the latest GE Proton as well, installed Battle.net through the New Game/App dialog. Just found out that Battle.net does start, but it simply never shows a dialogue and therefore there is no way to interact with it. No taskbar item as well of course.

Solving vague issues with Linux systems is already a big part of my day job and last week was pretty rough, so basically the choice boils down to :

• Spend energy I honestly do not have on whipping Faugus into shape.
• Keep using a working Lutris setup, even though it is AI slop.

Neither appeal to me at the moment. 😞

Edit: the irony, just as I was about to give up an update for Faugus appeared, installed it and Battle.net now runs fine. 🎉

Thanks, but unfortunately it fails to launch Battle.net for me. Not really in the mood to debug that further at the moment, guess I’ll stick to other games for now.

On my system it was the only thing that actually managed to get the Battle.net launcher to work. Sigh, time for another hunt for an alternative I guess.

If they wanted to live, they shouldn’t have signed up to kill people for the empire. Instead of following orders, they can refuse them.

Guess at least it’s good to see there isn’t any difference between Americans and Russians after all.

Oh no, I’m thoroughly stuck in this hole. I sure hope nobody is going to ravish me. 🌻

I would definitely not recommend doing 45 on a German highway, or any other European highway for that matter, unless you’re in a traffic jam. 😋

If only onions and the like didn’t give me such gutwrenching cramps, love the taste, but partaking in anything containing onions, leek or too much garlic just isn’t worth the aftermath. ☹️

“Life finds a way” is a threat, people just forgot that part. Life itself is unstoppable.

Don’t worry, our Sun will take care of life when it starts running out of fuel, expanding and boiling away everything on the surface of our planet.

Shoot me, I like pineapple on my pizza. But can we at least agree that kiwi doesn’t belong on it?

Also, I came across a tiramisu pizza yesterday. Yes, they actually took the best dessert available and ruined it by putting it on a slab of dough. 😑

He ends the thing prematurely right after

No shit, they were going proactive on those new chemicals after all.

Nope, a Dell Latitude.
