"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

bust most importantly, does linux on windows do ext4

found a better solution that dualboot, i guess. virtualbox can access hardware bypassing the os layers so i can virtualbox into linux for ext4 access through vagrant deployment from pycharm

this is cyber as gently caress or whatever, but i dont really need dualbooting for anything else

also i think if you had the old ubuntu for windows and you install ubuntu for windows from the app store you get two ubuntu for windows installs lol

e: yep two installs

eh, they are loving lazy about these insider-into-release experiences, but the linux subsystem is so good that i'll give them all kinds of passes for not going "man this is a huge hassle, let's eol this thing before cementing it in the support cycle with a full release" (seeing how microsoft has adopted a very google-like attention span this seemed far too likely)

tbf the initial build of linux4windowz was some extremely pre-release poo poo and you had to go out of your way to install the alpha version of it

so, par for the course for linux stuff really

hang on let me janitor my spreadsheet because microsoft assumes scientific notation is a thing that people want by default

the worst thing about this isn't that it scientific notates things, but that if you convert it after it's already done, then it will lose a bunch of numbers.

say, you enter in 1234 5678 9012 3456 and then it does its thing, after you change it to a text only thing or something, it will become 1234 5678 9012 0000

yeah.. i thought it was good for pro gamers because it had a huge ceiling at the time for movement and then everyone jumped on the "buy the same poo poo pro gamers do" bandwagon

The best Logitech mouse was the MX500. It's all been downhill from there.

i had the wireless version of the mx500 and it was a good mouse. the mx revolution is the best mouse, but Logitech doesn't want to make good mice anymore

what the gently caress are 3d models, why does it need its own file in every explorer overview and who thought it was a good idea to not be able to remove things from the finder overview by a simple right click?

it's almost as if the microsoft people wants everyone to buy something else

Manufacturing of the Kinect has shut down. Originally created for the Xbox 360, Microsoft’s watershed depth camera and voice recognition microphone sold ~35 million units since its debut in 2010, but Microsoft will no longer produce it when retailers sell off their existing stock. The company will continue to support Kinect for customers on Xbox, but ongoing developer tools remain unclear.

lol. soon: manufacturing of the xbox has shut down
