Sorry, I'm running Windows 10. Why does your app not like it? It'd be nice if I knew whether technically being on build 1607 was the reason, but here we are. You won't tell me. Thanks.

I'm currently banging my head against a wall trying to figure out why some programs crash on launching. I suspect it's that I'm running Windows Server 2016 (based on the really old Windows 10 build 1607), but I'd rather not switch to Tiny10 because that's what we in the business call "a massive pain in the ass". But I can't confirm or deny that that's the reason because everyone just says the minimum requirement is "Windows 10 or higher".

Falsehoods programmers believe about Windows 10:

We don't have to list builds in our minimum requirements because surely everyone is just on the latest build of Windows 10, right?

I just got this old Macbook Pro running and what's the first thing I do? Install and play Bejeweled 2.

Something keeps thumping against my window. I think the moth wants back in.

I was going to ask if any of y'all knew how to get a giant moth out of a house without killing it, but I got it. The moth landed on a thing I was holding and allowed me to carry it outside. It is free.

So, anyways, how's your evening going?

So, here's a thought. The cars in Daytona USA are pretty boxy. Do you think they were trying to work off the gen 4 NASCAR cars and just ended up hitting hardware limitations, or do you think they ended up deciding to work off the gen 3 cars, since those were pretty boxy anyways? Like, I'm legitimately curious. The cars in game are much closer to, say, Rob Moroso's #20 oldsmobile from 1990 than to, say, Michael Waltrip's #20 pontiac from 1994, the year of the game's release.

Kibby!

You know, actually, if you were to come up with the ability to go back in time, you could really have some fun by going back in time, killing, say, Andrew Jackson, then going forward well past any human lifetime and getting yourself thrown in jail for assassinating a president over 100 years prior. (Well, I say "fun". You'd be stuck in jail for assassinating a president. But it would make a fun story in a history book.)
