Lmao ig guess we’re just posting kotaku slop here now? What happened to the “no politics” rule?

I fucking just said so, didn’t I?

No, at least not independently of other hardware failures.

Do you think the solution to mis-/dis-information is censorship or otherwise attempting to marginalize what you believe are “garbage and lies”?

Yes. When people continuously are shown to be bad actors uninterested in the actual facts, yes, it’s good for the health of a community built around discussion to remove such a person since all letting them stay does is place an extra burden on everyone else to continuously correct the lies such that they don’t propagate to unknowing people.

Murder not only without remorse, but that the killer feels is 100% justifiable should be a life sentence, at minimum.

So because the government wastes money already, we should just waste more and more of it? If you break your leg, should you just go ahead and start smashing some other bones since you already broke one?

As long as he brings the arguments, it’s not something I’ll do

The problem is that his arguments are made from faulty, intentionally dishonest foundations. It doesn’t matter how many random propaganda sites he links, the whole thing is still a heap of garbage and lies.

I bought a new PC last year and I hate Windows 11 so much that it’s got me eyeing Linux again

You can always downgrade to windows 10

Alternatively, you can look at a price for price comparison and get some absolutely hilarious discrepancies. For instance, at the price of a full specs Mac pro, you can build a top end pc running dual 4090s. With some cash to spare.

My latest attempt with a decade old iMac made the screen die after less than half an hour upon each reboot.

My favorite part about the internet is when someone else somehow has the exact same completely obscure issue that I’ve had

I mean there’s a literal playboy bunny pokemon. Gamefreak is definitely aware of what they’re doing

I’ve never personally run into an issue that required a reinstall that wasn’t related to drive corruption. Basically everything has been just a quick restart and the problem vanishes

This. Both macOS and windows out a huge amount of effort into making sure things just work. And that’s extremely valuable to many people.

This. A huge problem I’ve found in the FOSS community is that people are often somewhat hostile to making things user friendly. It’s a sort of elitism, really. There’s a middle ground to be had between apple’s walled garden, and there being no barriers against something running rm -rf / and fucking you entirely. Like yeah, it’s a bit annoying when the .exe from someone you absolutely trust throws a “this file might be harmful” in windows, but the alternative is your grandma who doesn’t understand shit about computers getting ass fucked by every random piece of malware.

The best way I’ve seen it put is as such “why would I bother with a list of workarounds and janky, barely supported tools, just to get on par with out of the box windows”. Because like it or not, windows is a piss easy OS to get running on, and Microsoft puts a huge amount of work into making compatability a non-issue. If it was made for windows, it probably still works so long as your hardware hasn’t broken it, regardless of how old. Linux just can’t match the sheer amount of stuff that works on windows. And Linux subsystem means you don’t even need a dedicated Linux boot for things.

So all in all, Linux just doesn’t stack up that well as a daily driver. Sure, I have various systems that run it, and they work great, but that’s because I don’t ever use them beyond narrow purposes.

I have no experience in the field, but is it really that difficult to have servers on Xbox as opposed to everything else? I mean hell, some games fully support multi-player servers for all platform cross play.

I mean so long as it’s a decent enough card, people will buy it. The arc cards we already got have some pretty solid price/performance, at least after the drivers got improved.

They come for free with some micro-SD cards or should cost a few cents.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever bought one that didn’t come with the adapter.

Yeah, your only options are really a) get something to use it in, b) sell it, or c) save it as extra space for a rainy day. You’re really not going to conjure up a novel use for an SD card
