And by then they will have had their millions in bonuses and they know most people will be buying their crap when the bubble bursts because most of people have the memory of a goldfish.

Or just part of the destructible environment.

Okay? It’s a work device, you think that they aren’t already logging all of your stuff?

Welcome to Democracy.

Where your life is run by Idiot America.

Just allow users to mod the game to whatever difficulty they want and don’t be dicks about it.

Devs get to stick to their original vision and gamers get to have whatever difficulty they actually want to make things fun for them.

Your windows drive would be fine, Linux side you’d need to download then again.

You can dual boot but would highly recommend that you have a separate Windows SSD. Microsoft likes to dick around with the boot loader and bricking the ability to dual boot.

I am still dual booting myself with a small SSD for the rare occasion I want to run a game that isn’t supported on Linux but honestly I haven’t done that in over half a year now so Windows just kinda sits they taking to 200 GB of space.

Sundar Pichai: “Huh, well I guess we’ll just follow Tim Apple’s lead and start injecting ads in google maps and anyone who uses google maps API too.”

Jesus, this is a shit show on my machine.

Apparently watchtower started the update and now I’m stuck on the startup screen with Perform migration 20241112234144_FixMediaStreams2 since just after midnight.

ETA: over 24 hours now and still fucked, probably going to have to blow the entire things away and rebuild, what a horrible release.

They still are but I’ve learned to love the block list and use it judiciously with people who go beyond good faith arguments of any sort.

Been lucky enough to have been able to visit Hong Kong before the takeover, Germany, the Netherlands, India and my wife was able to go additionally France and Costa Rica.

Never had a problem with international travel and never felt unsafe in any of those places personally outside of trying to drive, just once, in India, was enough for me and took up my company’s offer for a driver. My wife had no issues with any of her traveling with or without me either.

The housing bubble encompassed a metric ton of banks and companies that bought and sold shares of subprime mortgages in the billions of dollars and when everyone stopped paying and started defaulting, that caused a entire economic collapse.

Now unless someone can point me to an analysis where we have some tangible proof that banks and tons of companies are invested, not just using, AI, it seems to me the fall out would be limited to tech companies, which yeah would involve some job losses but nothing on the scale of the housing or dotcom bubble.

Now if you’re referring to rich jackasses who are all in and banking on AI taking our jerbs? Sure that bubble will hurt them but they’re not driving forces in the economy, just politics, which I guess could cause a economic crash if they get your idiot politicians more scared of them than the people with France on their minds.

AI BS that can be fooled by Death Stranding.

So as a person who like to replace thermal paste on my GPU after a few years, using this would be a deal breaker for me.

No I did not try the beta because it won’t support Linux.

Same, early 2000’s was the last time I tried to run Linux for gaming and just recently moved to Bazzite and pretty much everything worked out of the box for me outside of some minor nits like suspend not working quite right but outside of that and of course my keyboard not having access to macros anymore but outside of those minor things have been more than solid for gaming and most everything else.

More like: Damn, there’s another level of hell?

Whelp, that confirms that I will definitely not buy a damn thing from EA.

They’re being sold to the Saudis. The same guys who hacked up a journalist so they will continue the EA tradition of hacking up developers, only now 100% more physically.

Same, reported for harassment on a few of the blatantly racist jerks.
