Definitely recommend brother. No fuss, just works.

Even the proprietary drivers blow chunks. Sure, gaming performance is fine, but desktop feel is just so awful compared to AMD wayland it isn’t even funny.
It just feels wrong, and I can’t quite explain why.
It’s essentially throwing a slab of meat into an arena and watching the starved poors fight to the death over it, then watching while you’re served the equivalent of thanksgiving dinner by your butler/maids in a safe climate controlled room.
There comes a point where “philanthropy” simply becomes rich people making games for the poors to win a “prize” and seeing how they react for their own entertainment rather than any sort of benevolence. The lambo example seems pretty much spot on for that.
And this is why you don’t want cloud based password storage systems. If you want to use a password manager, use something entirely local like KeePassXC. The database it creates is so small you could fit it on a floppy so it’s immensely portable.
In broad strokes, yeah. I’d even consider older, more traditional forms like forums and IRC/BBS to be proto forms of social media. As long as the internet exists there will be social media, what form it takes is malleable depending on the desires of the userbase at hand.
I think it’s just because most players tend to be good at micro, but not so much macro.
Having a set “build” takes the macro thought of your item choice out of the equation so they can focus on their micro. The thing is though, you can easily make up for subpar micro with good macro. Picking the best items for a given situation, even if they aren’t necessarily “meta” is incredibly important and something most players just don’t feel like mastering.
I’ve been using ironwolf/exos drives for years without any issues. The 3TB fiasco runs deep and people need to just let it go.
Kagi has an unlimited plan, it’s just a bit more expensive. I can also vouch for them in that their search quality is quite a bit better, and being able to blacklist/prioritize sites is pretty great.
They make far more money on margins for their tightly controlled parts doing the repairs themselves in house than letting independant repair shops do it for them. There’s a very clear reason why companies like apple/john deere are so anti right to repair. They make shitloads off of being the place to go to “repair” your device at an insane markup(to discourage repair in the first place.) And if you don’t like it, you can just buy a new one of their products. So they win either way.
Letting independant repair shops replace a chip for a couple bucks in parts andmaybe $50-$100 in labor absolutely eats into their margins and they see none of that money. It’s a big reason why they control their supply chain so tightly and do stupid things like serializing parts and programming/pairing parts together. So other shops can’t do the repairs they themselves can do.
Nothing. Policy makers are just using their “think of the children” defense to constantly push more and more overreaching policy.
Apple just wants to get in on the ground floor so they can shape the legislation to benefit themselves. There’s no way in hell a company as blatantly anti-repair as apple has suddenly decided to shift it’s priorities when it makes them absolute bank.
At this point i’m convinced it’s more about the fact these higher ups have skin in the real estate game. They either know the people who lease their properties, or are heavily invested in the property itself. So they can’t get past the mental block that is the sunk cost fallacy to just ditch it, or lose “good boy points” with their rich peers by saying they don’t need the property anymore.
I guess it’s also harder to brag to your rich friends how big your company is when you have less physical locations too, but at this point i’m just grasping. The amount of money these companies could save it massive, but they just absolutely refuse to do it for whatever reason.
And they won’t stop there either. You bet your ass it’ll be extended again once more corporations start hitting those public domain limitations on works they care about.
For real. It’s like SSD manufacturers are in cahoots with HDD manufacturers to never step on their turf(capacity.)
SSD manufacs keep chasing useless metrics like sequential write speed in consumer drives, when if they just chased capacity they could kill HDDs forever and we’d all be better off for it. Then again, i guess they’d also lose revenue since they don’t nearly die as much as HDDs, so i guess there’s that.
Or…they could keep with their current trend but actually focus on metrics that matter. Like lower que depth operations which actually make an operating system feel amazing to use like Q1T1. The difference between even an Intel Optane 905p and some of the newest fastest gen4 SSDs currently on the market is still crazy large in terms of how much better the OS feels to use moment to moment for me.
It’s crazy to me that bigwigs see office space as a sunk cost, but not employees.
They’ll drop and burn employees like going through tissue paper, but useless buildings? Nah, better use it even if it’s worthless.
Having long time tenured employees does nothing but benefit a company since they can perform tasks that would take a new employee hours to weeks in minutes to days, hell, it even lets you employee less staff due to that efficiency that can only be acquired through experience. It baffles me how those at the top just refuse to think efficiently.
I’m convinced many of them fail you on purpose so they do multiples of them. Increasing the amount of training per user.
My favorites are the ones i used to get on dread, jesus christ i’ve never sworn so much trying to do something so simple, it was ridiculous.
Political theatre to make it seem like they’re doing something about the issue. When in reality, nothing changes.
Hopefully not soon, but probably once Gabe is gone if i had to guess.
If steam goes public, might as well start packing the bug out bag because shit is going to go south real quick.
