(This post was inspired by The Sims 3 fucking up my X11 server so bad with WINE’s implementation of this idea I had to zap it to get it to act normal again)

*Note: I have no idea if Windows lets programs set modes not specified in a given monitor’s EDID but it is funny to imagine :3

**Picture unrelated besides being another M$ bad idea

      why don’t you instantly update everything – sadly most security people.

          It’s more getting burned multiple times by security team.

          Then again they also still treat Linux like it does not exist so 🤷

            thats usually because there’s no one cohesive way to manage the various linux distros without a massive headache… landscape is one main tool but it falls woefully short of the goal

              Oh I understand that, except they ignore a fleet of Linux servers in that/don’t care about if those aren’t working with their av platform of choice for protection

    I have a memory of some older games setting resolutions that my monitor didnt support. Many journeys into some config ini so i could see the game at all. I assumed it was because my TV at the time was some goofy ah 1360x768 screen that lied about being 1080i

    Also sims 3 is basically malware that shit is written so badly idk how tf they even made it.
