Microsoft breaks some Linux dual-boots in a recent Windows update

Quoting: Claude_LibI have Windows on a separate drive for rare occasions when I need it. The only clue two systems have about each other's existence is that Windows messes up the clock because I keep forgetting to set the RealTimeIsUniversal registry key.
I always just set Linux to use local time. One quick line in terminal is easier than a registry edit in Windows.
Local time is the wrong choice of course, like your files having mtime in the future when DST hits or if you take the train to the next city which happens to be in a different timezone.
I've never thought about that before. Though to be honest, that's not really an issue for me.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI just wish there were a way to get the steam store to ignore sound tracks... anyone else remember when you bought a game on CD, that the vast majority of them were just CD Audio tracks you could rip/convert! Imagine a world when you didn't have to pay 10 dollars extra just to listen to the video game music?

Bah, maybe I'm just old, get off my lawn!
I like soundtracks on Steam. 👀

What I hate is when the older ones aren't recategorized as such and still act like they're game DLC. Cause it makes getting all of your music easier when they're actually treated as soundtracks.

IMO Apple won't suddenly release a macOS version that doesn't have Rosetta 2. When dropping 32-bit support, Apple informed users and developers 1 year in advance. I expect the same process with x86_64->Arm. IMO macOS 16 will keep support and macOS 17 will drop it.
I hope so. My Late 2014 i7 Mac mini is still chugging along with the OpenCore Legacy Patcher and I'll keep upgrading till the end. lol

Stellaris Cosmic Storms expansion will launch September 10

I got the base game for free on GOG several years ago. They've gotten their money back numerous times over in expansion packs during sales from me. XD

Unless it's Apple Silicon, there's no point in supporting macOS anymore for games with smaller budgets. Sequoia will probably be the last x86 macOS too.
