In terms of engagement sure. It's the ideal moment to do group content because everyone is still figuring it out and there is no lack of players willing to run.

I do agree early access shouldn't be a thing for an MMO. It might help alleviate some of the traditional launch day issues like queues and server load leading to issues, but they need to be able to fix those without pay-for-premium methods.

Taking into account that recent expansions have been heavily time-gated I doubt three days early access is going to give any significant advantage in the long run.

WoW has become a game about doing weekly chores and switching to an alt to do the same weekly chores.

Asking the important questions here.

It's not quite a trend, it's a hidden lifestyle aspect of men in general.

Men have never quite felt the need to explain because it has never been brought up in this capacity before. But there's a whole stick-centric world out there you can get lost in, if you just keep an open mind.

Good! Now let's extend this movement to other countries as well. I want to see the impact women make in the workforce and what critical parts of the economy will collapse if women collectively decide to stop taking shit.

Naturally, parts of the economy that won't come to a grinding halt need more female representation.

We need equal pay, equal opportunities, equal responsibility and equal representation.

This is the way. It also forces you to organise files properly instead of periodically shoving several unused shortcuts and downloads into "organize later" folders.

I also have desktop icons disabled so it just shows a clean minimal wallpaper.

I absolutely love showing the normies my full no desktop icons, "never combine/show labels", small taskbar icons, Powertoys Fancyzones, virtual desktops, alt-space to launch literally anything experience. Blows their minds.

The future is now, my friends. Learn how your tools work.

Yikes, imagine not using a password manager on that. That's some next-level numpad skills.

That's exactly why you tell Defender to keep their greedy fingers out of specific folders and install specific things to dedicated paths.

Let Defender do its thing protecting critical system paths and don't run any executables you don't trust. Defender never touches anything I don't want it to touch and runs rampant on any anomalities. This unfortunately also results in things like Tor browser being flagged and removed randomly happening sometimes. Heuristic analysis is not perfect.

Then again, unless you've gone through hash checks, certificate verification for signed software and in the worst case decompiling your software to make sure it doesn't do anything fishy, you're always taking a risk.

The Linux ecosystem arguably has way better systems in place foe software distribution than "just run this .exe, trust me bro". But common sense goes a long way within Windows.

See, that's where you went wrong. You should really use your right hand for petting your mouse, which frees up your left hand for uhh... typing.

A mouse. Just any mouse. There are so many trackpad warriors out there (primarily Apple users) that complain they're being handicapped but they don't just go for the easy solution.

I've even seen some idiots stubbornly trying to do CAD work with a trackpad, and struggling in the process.

Get a fucking mouse.

Of course they do, people also prefer being told lies that put a positive spin on things over being told the truth. That's human nature.

Sounds like it's not really SQL as a query language but rather the whole database paradigm that's the problem here.

Look into noSQL databases and their respective drivers. They often use JSON-like syntax and are more likely to be seamlessly integrated with whatever programming language you're using.

If a search engine won't point you in the right direction I'd suggest having a look at MongoDB, which is well documented and fairly accessible to mess around with.
