    That doesn’t look like a gaming laptop, either. $20 says it has integrated graphics.

    Reminds me of the “gaming laptops” at Walmart. The other day I saw a RoG laptop being sold with an AMD 740M, a integrated GPU from 2023 with performance from 2010. They dressed it up all pretty with RGB and a 144hz display to make it look like it could actually run games, and then had the nerve to charge $699 for it.

    I hate shit like this so much cause people who don’t know any better will buy this thing, get 15 FPS in modern titles and think that PC gaming sucks, when it’s just their computer that sucks.

    Also VLC requires you to curate a movie collection. I’m too old to keep doing that shit.

    These days I use a Debrid service to steam torrents directly to my TV at gigabit speeds, with Stremio as my frontend to give me a Netflix-like experience. You get all the convenience of a modern streaming service, without the exorbitant fees nor the hassle of managing a Jellyfin server. Just fire up the TV and pick something to watch.


  • Okay, so the answer basically is that you can’t have multiple people working on overlapping bits of code, not without someone sorting it out first.

    Being able to have two different people work on different parts of the same file without causing any issues makes sense, but I also thought there was some magic formula that fixes everything if two people try to upload the file with the same part of the code modified in two different ways at the same time.

    Git is not as magical as I thought it was now that you’ve explained it.
