It’s more insane when you realize that many states of cities paid for fiber installation specifically so they’d make broadband cheaper and accessible to poor people. Of course, none of the companies complied and they never saw any consequences

…an enthusiast device that isn’t Snapdragon?

What a bad idea

Adobe CC. They’ve added new features recently to justify a subscription, but it’s still not that good of a pitch. Some editors will have offline PCs so that their software doesn’t get fucked up by anything (SUPER common in music), so having a subscription model works against professional users of their software.

Yeah, OP of this thread (me) actually has schizophrenia. Being a right wing shithead isn’t the same as being schizophrenic. Schizo is just the new way people have of calling people “autistic” like people did a decade ago.

The prebuilt binaries are down :/

Probably. It’s just odd to me that all the ones I use/used a lot have pretty much zero PC games. Torrentleach isn’t really a gaming tracker, still just odd that console piracy has grown so much in the past few years.

That makes a lot of sense. I thought it was really odd that there were 50+ pages for Switch games but only like 3 for PC games. Reason would say that if you’re buying a $2000 PC, you’re less likely to have a desire to not pay for games. Even I’ve moved away from PCs and switched to Android emulation because of price.

I’d definitely be more likely to buy a Switch or PS4 than a new PC right now. And I’d probably be pirating on them

Recently became an unexpected foster parent. I have my old account, don’t have the money to buy a 2nd copy right now.

Usenet is pretty much the only place where you can find truly everything. Many of the original seasons and episodes are lost media. So you can’t actually get everything without a private tracker or Usenet

Yeah but we’re talking 2.5 inch drives, and we’re talking about less than a terabyte of storage. There is no good reason to pick a physical drive HDD over an SSD when they’re practically the same price at that storage level. SSDs are simply safer to move, there are no moving parts, dropping an SSD isn’t that concerning, dropping an HDD can easily kill it. I mean think of this this way. There IS a physical reader that goes across the entire disk. That doesn’t exist in an SSD. It’s hard to do, but you can realistically take a hard drive and just SHAKE it to death with your hand, make the reader fall out of place. While shaking a solid state is more like just shaking a giant flash drive.

If you want a 2.5" form factor and plan on moving it in any sort of way, SSD is the way to go.

Federally, ship has already sailed. I’ll still vote for the lesser evil on local matters, as I like school funding

I bet this is for compression for mobile networks. Saw those pictures on a phone screen and they looked fine. Plus, webcams just look like shit. Even if your Pixel 8 Pro is compressed as fuck, it’s still gonna look better than most people’s webcam.

Pretty sure it’s only Empress. On another note, I would not believe the Empress story if I hadn’t been around long enough to actually watch everything play out in real time.

100 isn’t enough to really be worth anything too serious. The smart thing to do is either save it for something bigger or just have fun with it. Best way I spent 100 as a kid was on pizza and shit for me and my friends. A Minecraft server and some pizza is like 30 bucks, provides hours of fun

Buy a copy of Minecraft, best purchase I ever made

Windows Defender is fine. The only anti-virus good enough at what it does to be worth buying instead of just using WD is Emisisoft, and that has its own set of issues.

Huawei keeps on winning

Y’all are ignoring what this actually is - an app for EVERY video platform. Also, restrictive license is fine as long as the source code is available. Rossman explains this is to keep people from just forking and making scam versions of the app like NewPipe sees.

I mean they do have Android drivers for Exynos now, but if normal devs are still working around snapdragon the effects will still be felt. For all the pull Samsung has, Snapdragon has a much bigger market share.
