Wooooosh

Issue with healthcare IT is they cannot just upgrade willy nilly. They have to make sure that whatever computer they’re changing isn’t responsible for something big and they have to make sure everyone who uses it can use it. You still have some critical system PCs in hospitals that run DOS and sometimes even older.

Linux mint is another really good windows refugee friendly distro. And if you want a gaming COVID one then bazzite is the one to go for (it’s basically steam OS, but there’s a full fledged desktop version too)

Another comment explained what it is but to explain where the name comes from, you remember those capsule machines where you had to collect all the toys? Those were called gachapon machines, often shortened to just gacha (i might be slightly wrong on a little bit of the words, but they are the capsule machines)

For games and other media that gets “released”. Cancelled is usually the term that gets used if it doesn’t come out.

A film that is no longer in the cinema doesn’t get said it was cancelled for example.

For games that cease to be playable after release they are more often described as being shut down or being sunset. Like I’ve never read about an ongoing game being cancelled unless they were specifically talking about an originally upcoming piece of dlc or content being cancelled.

Shut down is the correct term. A cancelled game is a game that never released. No need to muddy that definition.

Yeah it was out for a year or two and went free to play for another before being shut down

Star wars 1313 was THE game I was waiting for. Got very sad when it got cancelled.

Also all of the in-progress and for some completed content that just got shelved for Disney infinity because the new management at Disney forgot why games mattered. (Same time when they absolutely gutted lucasarts). Just for them to start from scratch again a few years later when they realised they still need a videogame presence. Which makes the losses of what could have been hurt more.

That game came out. I still miss it though, but it isn’t a cancelled game.

Still keep hoping for a private server. That game ruined other mmos for me.

I thought that game came out?

That’s not cancelled, that’s just a game that was taken down.

There’s a bunch of private servers for it too. My first experience is the game was through one of them and it was pretty great.

I think a lot of it is to get and propogate misinformation because some people won’t hear about the 180s and still talk about as if they happened

I don’t want to pay now then £200 for a phone and i want a small one.

Yeah I’m not against patents in general because it’s meant to allow the company or individual a chance to be only one on the market so they can recoup rnd costs instead of someone else coming in and undercutting them immediately.

The issue is they last too long. Especially idea ones like this for software. 5 years is what it should be around about.

You can describe it as umami

It’s sad that eco friendliness comes at a premium

I think the idea is that at the point when you would upgrade you would just buy the new motherboard rather than a whole new laptop so the future prices will be cheaper for you but the price to initially get on board is kind of steep because of it. But this is also putting a lot of trust in that at the time you want to upgrade they’ll still be making compatible boards.

That would be one step in the theoretical eating of the rich, yes.

That’s one of the issues with how we’ve (most western capitalist countries) been doing this.

People are struggling for money so minimum wage goes up. Labour to create things is now more expensive and prices go up.

There is only one solution and that’s to theoretically (or technically) eating the rich that are hoarding all of the wealth.
