Private members aren’t actively blocked from external access; they’re passively marked “Access prohibited”.
That means that rather than being unable to find the members of a class, C programmers simply can’t pick up on the signals telling them that they’re not wanted.
(Fellow C programmers: I’m joking. :D)
People can hate on Microsoft all they want, but I use LibreOffice on a regular basis and it does the same thing, for exactly the same reason.
Cheers to the person who linked to the “font - hide” solution. I didn’t know that one and the equivalent works LO as well.
There are even rumors of a Final Fantasy VII reboot!
Final Final Fantasy VII?
JS has saved me many hours of mind-numbing, error-prone manual keyboard work by giving me a way to hack together a simple bit of automation as a web page.
Even when a computer has been ham-fistedly locked-down by an overzealous IT department, I can almost always still access a text editor and a browser that will load local HTML files.
Many 8-bit home computer emulators have an option to recreate the sounds of their tape drives and disk drives as they load software. But are there any Dreamcast emulators that recreate that unholy screeching that made you wonder if your console was somehow already on its last legs even though it was still nearly new?
I wouldn’t want to hear it the whole time, but for the first major load of a game it might be pleasantly nostalgic.
When you use any piece of Internet-enabled software, any and all data that passes through it can theoretically be copied and siphoned off back to the authors of the software.
Should they do it? No. Can they do it? Yes.
Does Mozilla do it? They say they don’t, and I’m inclined to trust them. Do other major browsers do it? Absolutely.
As regards your physical location, geoIP databases can get pretty close these days.
Yeah, but Third Strike has the best version of her character design IMO.
How many techie types have had someone come to them and say something like “Hey, you know tech thing XYZ? You know how it sucks? Well I’ve got a great idea: make a BETTER one! So what do you say? You whip it up in an afternoon, I’ll handle marketing, and we’ll be rich!”
Like they really thought that the issue is just that no-one can see the flaws. They thought that the fix is super easy and they’re just the first person clever enough to see it.
I’m guessing it’s because “SyncThing” is a proper noun.
Not to take away from your very good point, but I think the word you might be looking for is “eqivalence”.
Some people can hold their length, but only in private.

I scored 12/28 on https://jsdate.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.
the boss can detect headphones going on your head and music starting from 50 feet away and instantly be behind you with a burning question that doesn’t make any sense.
I’m sure you realize that the question doesn’t make any sense because they had to think of it on the spot, just to prove that you can’t wear headphones in the office due to all the important ambient office talk you need to be a part of.
One of my best, most competent bosses once said to the team “I don’t understand how you guys can work while listening to music, but as long as your output stays high, I’m not going to interfere.”
Reading the FAQs, the whole situation smacks of changing for the sake of change. It seems like some important functionality of the old system isn’t available in the new system, but they’re pushing it through regardless. Combined with this downplaying of Linux support, perhaps some political representatives with low technical skills have been talking to some lobbyists. And unless the Finnish school system has bought into Chromebooks in a big way, they seem unusually eager to support ChromeOS.
I wonder if the whole Secure Boot/Microsoft shim key issue is a part of this.
How about that worst of both worlds, the tutorial where the author starts out writing as if their audience only barely knows what a computer is, gets fed up partway through, and vomits out the rest in a more obtuse and less complete form than they would’ve otherwise?
Turn on your computer. Make sure you turn on the “PC” (the big box part) as well as the “monitor” (TV-like part).
Once your computer is ready and you can see the desktop, open your web browser. This might be called “Chrome”, “Safari”, “Edge”, or something else. It’s the same program you open to use “the Google”.
In the little bar near the top of the window where you can write things, type “https://www.someboguswebsite.corn/download/getbogus.html” and press the Enter key.
Download the software and unarchive it to a new directory in your borklaving software with the appropriate naming convention.
Edit the init file to match your frooping setup.
If you’re using Fnerp then you might need to switch off autoglomping. Other suites need other settings.
Use the thing. You know, the thing that makes the stuff work right. Whatever.
Congratulations! You’re ready to go!
I think that when RHoI wrote “3D”, they meant “hardware accelerated 3D”. Many early 3D DOS games either did their 3D entirely in software, or included hardware acceleration support as a kind of optional bonus. Software 3D shouldn’t give DOSBox much more trouble than most 2D games. The original release of Quake didn’t even have any accelerator support; it was patched in later.
A tiny number of original releases don’t run properly or at all on some 2600 Juniors or 7800s, due to a reliance on quirks that were changed in later versions of the graphics chip. Probably not a major issue for classic collecting, but if you’re interested in modern homebrew, it could be worth considering.
Yeah, Zero Tolerance is amazing from a technical standpoint, and a solid gaming experience as it goes, but I personally felt it dragged on for too long without enough variation. Then again I felt about the same regarding the original Doom and Doom 2, so it’s probably more my tastes than the game itself.
I have a stupid question: Are you sure you’re not confusing “line out” and “headphone out”? They’re different, and pretty much every desktop supports both these days. But standard PC speakers usually connect to the “headphone” socket.
