Yes, but it doesn't change the fact that some people won't use it for that reason, and makes it a fair question if the new model is also "slow".

I don't know about making fun of a dialect, but it's not quite utter nonsense - "oven" sounds like "of in", so it can be interpreted to mean that it shouldn't be called oven, because when you put the food in it's cold, you only eat it when taking the food out, when it's hot.

The sentence structure is so absurdly wrong it makes me wonder if somebody was genuinely trying to make a pun and ended up with that, or if it was intentionally butchered.

Having a FP4 myself, I do suspect it's significantly slower than alternatives at similar prices - not a problem for most uses, only things that would actually stress the CPU, but it could bother some people.

To clarify, I'm not defending or supporting OP's behavior, but I believe the initial comment was misrepresenting things.

They don't seem mad about almost getting in trouble, only about in-laws disagreeing with them, and of course the shop owner selling those hats.

I think the issue is that text uses comparatively very little information, so you can't just inject invisible changes by changing the least insignificant bits - you'd need to change the actual phrasing/spelling of your text/code, and that'd be noticable.

If it's already distorted, switching to a different distortion that's area-preserving can still be an improvement.

Funnily, my performance in trackmania is fine... But I have an entirely different issue - if at any point I open the Ubisoft overlay, from that point on, if I tab out of the game and back in, I'm unable to control the car until I open and close the overlay again. The UI accepts inputs normally, it's just the car that doesn't.

Previously I had an issue where the game would refuse to accept controllers being connected while the game was running - the button prompts would actually switch to controller style, but the game would refuse to accept controller inputs, and the controller wouldn't show up in settings.

But yeah, those are issues very specifically with that game, I don't even know how they managed that.

I think very, very slightly warmer, for solar panels. The solar panel captures energy that's hitting the earth and would otherwise partially heat it up, and to some degree reflect back into space.

Since the energy would normally heat up, if you spend it doing refrigeration instead, it'll ultimately produce the same amount of heat from energy losses - you can't produce more energy than you have coming in. If I'm correct about that then, the only increase in warming you'd be getting would be from the small amount of light that would otherwise reflect into space, but was instead captured by the solar panel.

No idea how this works out with wind turbines, since the wind has to be getting energy from somewhere and putting it somewhere, but no idea if it ends up dissipating as heat (from friction?).

I don't know what APT stands for in this context, but just one PR/comment from a trusted contributor seems like plenty of proof, you really went and did your homework, and then mine too ;D

AFAIK, unless that tree has signed commits in the history after the commit introducing the cursor files (or it's otherwise verifiable, like having been linked by a member of their team), that's not a smoking gun.

I remember a meme that was shared a while ago, where somebody forked the Linux kernel on GitHub, made a joke commit under Linus's details (which are NOT verified by design), and posted them around. I can't find an instance of that right now, but here's a somewhat similar example, where somebody put a fake backdoor in their fork and changed the url to the original repo, which lets them pretend the commit came from the original repo.

I'd love to see a smoking gun to confirm those claims, but commiting as somebody else, with a fake time, and editing history aren't that difficult - if they could remove the file from history, somebody else could add it to history.

Since so many other quotes are already claimed, how about some Outer Wilds:

Seriously, I tried everything I could think of [...], and neither idea worked.
