I like driving in Reef Deckhand shoes, I have a pair without the insoles that I use for manual transmission. They’re similar to Vans slip-on’s, flat sole and made with materials that aren’t too stiff

Is GNU Linux? Edit Shit I meant Is GNU Unix? now it doesn’t make sense

I’ll download it twice

Or they know someone who bought a cyber truck. Passengers who accepted a ride. Children or family members who have no control over what the buyer does. Be realistic

Innocent people are being killed. Not really something to celebrate.

Try palmer’s coco butter lotion

I heard that they keep coming back because your efforts to swat at them were clumsy and never a real threat

It’s not really an obsolete generation, the new 5080 will be like a suped up 4080 with the exception that it will be able to do multi frame generation. They use the same architecture. Also, if you’re gaming in 1440p I think the 5080 will be about 12% faster which isn’t much- this is just a guess after watching the 5090 vs 4090 comparisons that released today.

I think you mean you actually like frame generation even though you seem to be jokingly comparing it to motion smoothing on a TV?

Looks really fun

For me motion clarity is so important. I love frame generation, especially if frames are getting inserted without much delay.

You can list a hundred negative aspects of present day PC use like this article does, but it totally ignores improvements and positive aspects. Like yeah you could use word 95 without it contacting a Microsoft server but office 95 compared to office 2010 or later is like a night and day difference.

They mention DRM and say it’s gotten bad in the last decade but DRM has been terrible for the last 25 years. You used to buy a music CD (in like 2003) and put it in the computer and you couldn’t play it because of DRM.

It’s just not a balanced article. I actually think they have a lot of good content here and they make some good points but they shoehorned all these things to fit their conclusion and there’s no counter-point.

Edit: it’s just factually incorrect that “The PC is dead” You have DJs making electronic music, artists painting, PC Gaming, You can manage your finances, keep photo albums, and basically anything they are being romantic about in this article is just a talking point, I could argue counter points for almost every paragraph. Things are better than they were. Email barely worked, always getting flooded with spam because there weren’t any spam filters. Devices weren’t plug and play, they were very difficult to get working. So what if there are garbage products on Amazon or wherever, that doesn’t make the point the author is pretending that it makes.

We do need privacy rights and right to repair like the author says, but there have always been things to fight for. Maybe I’m just missing the point- since 2001 people have been saying “I won’t use .Net!” Because everyone was worried that office suite would run in a web browser or wherever and people thought the PC was dead, we’d all be using terminal sessions instead (where you just see the remote desktop not the computing is done on a server somewhere else). The point the author is making isn’t any more true today than it was 20 years ago, it’s not a new point, it’s something people have always agreed with. But the PC is not dead.

American Primeval was very good on Netflix.

Sakamoto Days anime on Netflix was great, reminds me of One Punch Man

Check out better call Saul too. Both series get better and better as they go on

I found my friend is owed $438

I got about $75 back

Oh wow I haven’t looked in a while, they don’t sell speakers anymore. That’s crazy, I didn’t know.

Edit: they were bought by DTS

Edit: phorus is restructuring?

Thought this was a NSFW national park for a minute

I saw a video before 2008 where a guy hooked an air gun up to a laptop and it was targeting and calculating projectile velocity and leading targets.

California, where the apt is, limits rent increases to 5% plus the annual increase in the consumer price index (inflation)
