Yes, they're all embedded into the game's javascript file, along with a dictionary of words which it uses to determine whether a word is valid or not. The nice thing is, even if the NYT somehow manages to bugger the game up, you can (from a technical point of view at least, perhaps not a legal one) easily grab the game's scripts and host them elsewhere and still play to the same gamebook as before.

Observium really is very good. It's a bit weak for Windows because it only does SNMP and Windows SNMP is terrible but for network devices and Linux, it's excellent. The only onion in the ointment with it is that the person who owns the product is a complete pillock.

The fact that the Acers you've already bought have had a fairly high failure rate?

Any half decent monitoring platform should do it. There are three reasonably simple free options which run on Linux: Zabbix LibreNMS Observium then there's Nagios, which I would only recommend if you're some kind of sadist. On the Windows side, you could try PRTG, but that's not free.

Lansweeper? What are you looking to audit, exactly?

I used to play that on my iPhone 3GS. I think it was a PopCap game.

The key bit of text there is "Except LTSC Editions". Any Windows Server release with a year in its title is an LTSC release. There was a Semi Annual Channel for Windows Server, which was Core only. Similar to the Windows 10 SAC, builds were released every sixth months and were supported for 18 months. The last release was 20H2, after which MS stopped doing it as no bugger used it. Turns out people didn't want to do feature updates every six months. Who knew?

Dang. 86 is a good age but it's sad nevertheless. Only Graeme Garden left from the ISIHAC crew

Due South is one of my absolute favourites and it still held up quite well the last time I watched it, about five years ago. It veered into self parody a little bit in the third season but it's still a good series.

The issue I see with streaming is this: When Netflix was first a thing in this country, both the customer and the content provider had very little choice when it came to streaming networks. There was Netflix and there was Prime and that was pretty much it, outside of the more obscure networks. I'm not counting iPlayer/All4/ITV Hub and other similar catchup services as they serve a different purpose. If content providers wanted their stuff to be streamed, it had to go out on one of those two. The content providers may not have liked it very much, but speaking for myself as a consumer of said content, it was good because I was getting a metric crapton of content for <£20 a month, which is a price I was relatively content to pay. The trouble was that the content providers couldn't let that lie; they wanted a piece of that pie so now we've got Britbox, Disney+, Pluto, whatever Sky are calling their streaming service, Paramount+ coming soon, Apple TV+ and a million other piddly little streaming services that get pushed at you. They've all taken or are in the process of taking their content away from Netflix and/or Prime (Disney/Fox/Marvel stuff from Netflix to Disney+, Paramount removing content from Netflix are two examples that come to mind), thinking that people are going to pay an additional £8-10 a month to access their service to watch their favourite show. The way that ViacomCBS acted with the new season of Discovery is especially low. So in conclusion, I think that Netflix has two problems: 1) It's been on the market for long enough for it to get all the subscriptions that it's likely to get. There are only so many people in the world and only a subset of those that a) want the service b) have an internet connection good enough for the service c) can afford the service. I don't know if that counts as "Peak Netflix" or not. 2) Content is being taken away from them as other content providers open their own networks and their licenses to show the content expire. This is going to make the service less attractive to those people who meet a, b and c up above. They're trying to make up for that with their own original content, some of which is very good and some of which is very, very bad. Even with their own content, however, people are still going to want to watch Star Trek/Friends/Modern Family/Futurama (to name a few things that were on Netflix and now aren't) so that's going to count against them when people are deciding which network to subscribe to. I don't know about you, but I subscribe to three streaming services at the mo (Netflix, Prime, and D+) and that's my limit. I don't want or can afford another. What's a little interesting is that Disney+ is becoming more like the old Netflix of yore as Disney hoover up every movie studio known to man. There's a heck of a lot of stuff on there now.

Depending on how the PS5 handles non-standard resolutions, you may be able to use a product like the Matrox Triplehead-2-Go to split a single picture across two screens from a single HDMI port, but that’s a hideously expensive product. Even then, I think having a big pair of bezels in the middle of your field of view would be pretty irritating.

That would do it. There's also a step called "Prepare Windows for Capture" which does much the same thing.
