And I'm still shouting at clouds angry that they want to move HTTP to a binary protocol.

The traditional first line of protest is to start talking to sponsors to see if you can start getting them to drop the org? Hit them iin their wallet. In this instance, you'll also quickly find out if the brands involved are worth anything either?

As a former Nofio owner, Valve had the benefit of watching everything they got wrong, so I have high hopes for a FAR better experience on that front.

Compared to past announcements where Valve blew open new classes of kit this feels... meh?

New threats to Federal properties include: New tobacco products?!

Well that's... interesting. Does the BIOS detect the drive and not complain about SMART errors/etc? Plan B, boot a linux thumbstick and see what that shows, wipe the first 10mb of the drive to blow away the partition map and try again?

Ok, so DOS is unhappy with the drive, and doesn't think the partition is a DOS/Windows one. If you don't have any data on there you care about, next step is to use FDisk to see what the partition table looks like.

It's one of those subtle things I never noticed going away until tonight when I was trying to get the full retro PC experience from the degauss coil rattling the screen mask, to the last bits of static as the monitor powered off.

Someone else will clean up this mess, right?

'darn' he said as he unwrapped another KitKat...
