I sorta feel like there was a significant dropoff after the first generation that included ddr4 and pcie4 unless you specifically except for GPUs if you specifically used the RTX features in terms of real-world performance* in the higher end consumer desktop side. I rarely had issue with my i7-4790k setup and it was a ddr3/pcie3/limited nvme support generation. Only replaced it last year because the mobo died.

*Based entirely on my own use cases.

That’s true of all names. Names are still a form of identification. But it doesn’t authenticate that you are a specific person.

a lot of people no longer need a printer for “regular” printing at all in 2026,

Isn’t this an argument for toner over ink? From my understanding, ink is far less shelf-stable.

Porque no los dos?

So its not allowed on planes, but only barely?

Was Terraria 1.4.5. Granted, I’m spoiled by magic storage and so I wanna wait for tmodloader to update, so hoping that happens this year. I think I picked it up in 2015, so that’s basically on release (2011).

Also hoping for a major Dyson Sphere Program update that isn’t just optimization (although that’s probably more exciting than an actual content update). But the last one initially was teased over 2 years ago I think (and was interrupted because performance update became a higher priority)? If it doesn’t release this year, I’ll just wait to play through again til it does.

Don’t know of any actual new releases that I’m just dying to play and even if I was, I’d probably wait a few years to get it on sale unless its a sub-$5 game (I might get Two Tired to Mountain at release because of that).

Is anyone at threat of prison time or at least fines measured in the 100’s of billions, if not trillions?

Depends on you use-case. For most, probably. For me, it means I only have to learn how to do it once and it works on every single platform that has voice instead of figuring out the settings for each one individually. Also means I can just share audio any platforms (allowing me to use a custom soundboard and listen to other audio without sharing that other audio easily or actually sharing my screen) or do things like add Easyeffects in the middle. But I get why some would prefer an all-in-one experience.

Even if it is hardcore porn, that still doesn’t mean I’m going to give them an ID/pictures to verify who I am just so I can see the art people draw of ███████████████.

The only person I know who had nitro also had already cancelled their subscription before I even talk with them and they use lots of other mainstream platforms like twitter regularly, so I was surprised.

Does Element not support all of that?

You can always just pipe the audio through the same sink that your mic goes into or make a virtual mic that receives both and pass it on. That’s how I deal with sharing applications in VCs (using qpwgraph to change the connections via GUI instead of command line).

At least 5

You can spec into faster classes. In DS1, that would be scimitars, curved swords and katanas I believe. Unfortunately means looking up that kind of info online or trial and erroring a bunch of weapons.

My oldest monitor is only a little over 10 years old and I think of it new. And it was less than a third of the cost.

Even with games that usually use kernal anti-cheat systems like battleeye, some games specifically have enabled proton support and just work as well.

I haven’t had too much issues with Bazzite for general use. I still use windows for work, so there’s some things I haven’t tried setting up and have no clue how different they’d be on an immutable vs a mutable OS.

I’ve used Mint before (like 10 years ago) and somehow it kept breaking (I’m sure I somehow caused it, but I only knew enough to break things and not enough to understand how I was breaking them). 🤷‍♀️ For most people, I’d think how Bazzite works would be acceptable. For some power users, the immutable OS aspect might be annoying, but I think that’s mostly an issue for people who are coming from a different Linux distro (it did bother me at first and I did consider switching to something like PopOS) or people who want to run fairly dated or obscure software (granted, VMs are sometimes already necessary for that - at a previous job, we had to use windows 95 VMs to run a specific version of software).

You might be able to attract new players that don’t have any baggage, but older ones with games on Steam, you’ll need to climb the Everest to convince them.

At this point, my Epic library is technically bigger than my Steam library, even with family sharing somehow? But its a bunch of free games I don’t care about, except for a few, and steam has modding features built right in, so one of the few games I have played after getting it free on Epic, I eventually bought on steam when it went on sale there. There’s also the history of achievements and friends (and sharing of games with those in my steam family). So if I had to pick between Steam and Epic for a game, I’d pay more for it to be on steam. Still, I’d rather go with GOG or itch if I didn’t still have steam credit from gift cards.

Podcast episode from Covid-19 era about police militarization, which talks a fair bit about Safariland if I remember correct (its been several years since I’ve listened to it). Lots of banter during the first 20-25 minutes.

Also, if the garbage truck is hit by another normal car, its heavy enough to barely budge, so doing the same off a car going the same speed would still be more dangerous.

What actions of a lifetime are you (Bill, not OP) suggesting to stop ICE?
