Give it a go

Probably not so surprising given its 8/9 years old at this stage. Hard enough for this sort of project to get off the ground in the first place let alone supporting nearly 10 year old hardware (despite the ongoing popularity of the 10 series, it is old).

Same, I have a shortcut set up on my phone that shuts down my computer when I get in my car just because I know it won’t stay asleep otherwise

It’s actually ridiculous how often you’ll put Windows to sleep, and half a second later it turns itself back on.

It’ll be interesting to see where this goes, but odds are it will be meaningless - the research is sketchy at best for now.

In my mind with the quality of research out there right now, it will boil down to 3 outcomes:

• If you used a lot of artificially sweetened products to avoid consuming lots of sugar, and you would go back to using the same amount of sugar otherwise, then keep using the sweetener. Sugar is far more likely to cause damage to you.
• If you think you could cut out the aspartame and cut down on sugar, then do that instead.
• If you eat a decent amount of red meat, you may as well continue consuming aspartame. Odds are the meat will cause cancer long before the aspartame does.

The trouble is the news can latch on to the IARC plan to classify it as a class 2B carcinogen (“possibly carcinogenic”). The problem is, the IARC classification is kinda trash for an end user, since it only classifies the quality of the research available. Meat is a class 1 (“known carcinogen”), but so is asbestos and sunlight and alcohol. No one would argue that those are equivalent. Similarly, coffee, pickles and petrol are also 2B classifications. It’s easy for the news to run with “aspartame has been identified as possibly carcinogenic” and be completely correct while also entirely misleading.

that’s the whole idea of passing by address in C

Wait stop, so in other languages like C#, when you pass a variable into a function “by reference” is that just passing the pointer to the variable?

Have I been baited into using pointers my whole life?

The instructions were there, you just didn’t do the second step which was to refresh the page. It’s a janky way of setting it up for sure, but the green popup notification did have the correct steps.

Your account is most likely lost.
