    With regard to mbk1969's "Unreal 5 Jiggle Physics" post...

    Looks to me like there is a latency or hysteresis issue; a bit too much of a body in motion tends to remain in motion-thing going on. Actually, in this case, bodies. I'd take issue with the omission of the other movement axes, too.

    Anyway, I'd say this seems better than most, and certainly better than nothing. Having spent some time in Maine, I can mention people there have a saying, "it's as cold outside as a brass bra." (Think about that concept for a moment, gentlemen.) Seems to me that nearly all adult females in video games have been wearing brass bras all this time.

    I can only hope that the bulk of Nvidia's AI efforts are being devoted to getting this matter resolved properly once and for all.

    EDIT: I must buy a new mouse.

    Open an Excel file which is updated often and printed a lot.
    Go to cell XFD1048576.
    Insert a dot.
    Set text color as white.
    Save document.

    Protip:
    If possible change printer settings to start prints with the last page.

    Pure evil. :D

    Reminds me of the trick to hide buzzwords in white text in application letters for companies, so their meta crawler doesn't filter you out, no matter what you write.

    I would suggest more sophisticated prank - write a VBA script which inserts white coloured dot in said cell upon print start and removes it upon print stop.

    What IT pranks do you guys know?

    Like ...

    Remove the mouse ball.
    Put a sticky note below the mouse if laser / optical.
    Take a screenshot of the desktop and save as an image. Remove all desktop icons and set image as background image.
    Flip mouse buttons left <> right.

    Protip: do the screenshot and flip it 180° (upside down) and save it. Then set this as background (remove icons) and rotate the screen in video settings by 180° (so the upside-down background is correct again!) and flip mouse buttons and set windows taskbar to auto-hide. Watch chaos.

    Switch UI language to Chinese and remove all others.

    PS Back when CDs were a thing I saw a prank (bat-file as I recall) which ejected and retracted CD tray in loop.

    I can confirm that the desktop screenshot (normal though not rotated) and removing the mouse ball work. Did the laser thing with a strip of see through tape as well :D

    Like the UI language switch, if you guys can remember this one:

    Set your friend's Nokia 3310 to Finnish (Suomi?)

    Classis :D

    I fail to understand why the ability to play content with YT app (on Android) with locked screen is available only on YT premium subscription. I was unable to start some funny kid music playlist to give my phone to my kid because the moment he touches the unlocked screen the tracklist is gone. I payed for YT premium just to do that... Now I have no access to YT premium but I will never return to it even if it will be available again in my country.

    PS And the question "Are you still watching" on YT is stupidest thing ever - make an option to pause playlist play in absence of user activity by default, but at least it could be configurable. On PC I install special browser addon to bypass that stupid question, but for Android I failed to find the solution.

    Yeah seen that too. Can't imagine watching that movie sober under any circumstances. Not even sure how wasted I'd have to be to sit through this.
