This was a significant era of computing history, and in the modern digital era, I think everyone should at least get a sense of the early days of digital technology.
I do not have an answer for you, but if I may ask…
Why?
I wasn’t suggesting that I’d expect newer DirectX to work on older versions of Windows. I was suggesting that I would have expected newer DirectX standards to still be backwards compatible with older DirectX standards.
Sigh, I guess Satya Nadella decided to scrap backwards compatibility. Oh well, I switched to Linux after Windows 8 came out anyways. 🤷♂️
Guess not, but as far as I ever knew, M$ has been known to try to maintain backwards compatibility for longer than most users would even consider necessary.
XP supported DirectX 7/8/9
I would have figured that would have continued on with future versions of Windows, but I guess Satya Nadella decided to scrap backwards compatibility.
Oh well, all the more reason I switched to Linux as my main daily runner after Windows 8 came out. 🤷♂️
Why would someone expect DirectX12 to not also support 11/10/9/8/7?
Make sure they’re not your own tampons, don’t want them tracking your DNA pregnancy status…

You pood the dood?
Oof, fair enough. 👍
Yeah, here in Mississippi it often gets rather humid, but we keep it pretty dry inside with the air conditioner.
Just take my upvote and go R303 yourself 👍
As cute as this is, we used to have around 20 goats on a 40 acre open horse ranch, and you couldn’t get within 50 feet of any of them without them all running away.
I just finished watching for myself. I think he held up pretty well and brought up many valid points and fact checks.
One thing I didn’t see anyone bring up much regarding the topic of abortion is the topics of the health of the mother and the baby.
When I was 2 years old, we were rear ended by an 18 wheeler. My mother’s head hit the windshield. They took her to the hospital and ended up prescribing her pain killers.
It didn’t cross anyone’s mind that maybe she was pregnant again. Once the doctors found out, they realized the pain killers were the kind that cause gross life threatening fetus/baby deformities.
There was literally zero percent chance that embryo was going to survive at that early point in her pregnancy. So the doctors had no choice but to highly suggest she abort the pregnancy. Otherwise she’d either end up with a highly deformed baby, or even worse she’d end up dead herself.
She regretfully had them carry out the abortion, realizing that her first child (me) was literally named after my uncle from my father’s side that only lived to be a day and a half old, because of intestinal birth defects where his intestines were formed on the outside.
Medical technology wasn’t so great back in the 1950’s when my deformed baby uncle was born, so there wasn’t much way to know that he would be born deformed. ☹️ My father decided to name me after him in honor.
By 1984, at my own age of 2, my mother was pregnant again, but nobody knew when the truck rear ended us. But medical technology had improved enough by then that they should have at least checked whether she was pregnant or not before prescribing her medicine.
The doctors made the wrong call and prescribed something known to cause extreme birth defects. So once they found out, they insisted she have an abortion, which she regretfully did, for sake of her long term health.
She still regrets that decision today to an extent, but my mom very likely wouldn’t even be alive today if she had carried that baby.
So, my opinion on all of that is, pro choice, and to hell with politicians or religious people practicing medicine without a license…
Water sticks to my balls as well 👍
Pretty sure they wouldn’t let random people access or adjust their public restroom timer though. 🤷♂️
I went into a public restroom in a gas station once that was set up with a motion sensor. But I didn’t immediately know that. It kinda freaked me out for a bit when after like 3 minutes the entire room went pitch black dark. I thought their breaker kicked off or something, while sitting on the toilet.
If it’s gonna be on a timer, it ought to be set for more like 10 minutes or something. I dunno about everyone else, but I don’t tend to do much of any significant movement when sitting on the toilet to keep the lights and fan on.
So, aside from numerous other angry words I could say…
How is this going to affect incoming phone calls? Will I be able to at least talk with my friend, without having to hear ads the whole time because I was watching a video?
Just a friendly reminder, https://grayjay.app/ is a thing, screw the YouTube app.
