Mean, median, or mode?

0.045¢ per hour is pretty good value.

Whoever the fuck thought a massive regression for every single customer was the perfect thing to deploy with no option for rollback needs to stop working in software.

Fucking finally.

Conway’s Law applies in this respect; the mess in governance of Nix has produced a product that reflects that mess. Nix started a beautiful movement but like many first movers, they rarely reap long-term rewards.

I think you’re right in inferring that OP is confusing DOS with BIOS but technically, plenty of old computers and early video game consoles like the Atari 2600 didn’t have a BIOS and would immediately execute the code on the tape, disk, or cartridge. Some old computers had bootstrapping but that’s not really BIOS in the IBM sense.

Well this is the best news ever. I hope they’ll offer tools for creating new maps too as I’d love to see modders add their own quest lines.

Same; I’ve never seen an electronic device used to tune a piano either and I’ve been around musical instruments my entire life (not a pro myself, but I’ve friends and family who are composers and I’m an enthusiast myself). I just know digital tuners exist.

Why are you being downvoted?!?

I had a professional out the other day and this is exactly how they tune pianos and they do so for some rather prestigious institutions in my area. A set of tuning forks, a tuning lever, and some felt. By ear - aural tuning - doesn’t mean they are tuning by memory of a note. They use a metal tuning fork that, when struck, vibrates at an exact note with which they compare the string and adjust the tension accordingly.

Sure you can buy tuning devices but not all professionals use nor need them. If anything, they mean someone with poorer hearing can do the tuning and thus don’t notice other aspects of the piano that need adjusting beyond simply string tension.

You gotta believe!
