Does this work for Bedrock as well as Java edition? I can get Java to work with infrared proxy but I’m not sure how to do Bedrock

I’ve used both of them, both professionally and personally, for some time.

Plus it’s a lot more satisfying to move a physical object than to change status on a drop-down menu

I had a small store with one of these in the window and for what it does it’s very good

Which is a great reason to at least familiarize yourself with it. It’s the lingua franca of text editors.

You have to assume some level of end user knowledge, otherwise every piece of documentation would start with “What a computer does” and “How to turn your computer on.”

I’ve found the best practice is to list your assumptions at the top of the article with links to more detailed instructions.

So I get two seats to myself? Sweet!

Gaeta was the one feeding the resistance information.

Before there were scripted alternatives large scale Windows deployments were all imaged because of the hours it took to set up a single machine swapping floppies and writing to spinning rust.

My first internship was patching a ton of Win 98 systems and it involved walking up and down rows of cubicles waiting for the next step of the installation to get done and hit a couple keys
