No game is good enough to convince me to pay a subscription to play it online. I refused back when WoW came out and I will continue to do so. There are enough exclusives on PC.
If the price of gamepass annoys you and you have a pc maybe you could also find games that don’t need it.
You could get a pc and not pay for online play. Just saying.
Also you could try classic supports. They have more surface area.
Paying for an IQ test is a test in itself. If you pay that much to get a number you can’t be that smart.
Can confirm. Been to China, traveled thousands of kilometers by train, loved it. Better than a plane.
Exactly. Someone has to pay for it. The infrastructure, the bandwidth the creator payouts. That all costs money. A lot of money. We can talk about if the cut Google takes is too big and if they could do with less ads or cheaper premium but someone has to pay something.
Also happy cake day.
I acknowledged problems with reliability and repairability in my own post.
Factoring in the lifespan of an appliance is definitely a good idea, but it’s also true that old appliances are often incredibly inefficient compared to their counterparts. As always you have to be a savvy shopper to find out what is good and what is bad. I’d never get myself a smart fridge but a modern one has features I wouldn’t want to miss.
That sucks but how does that relate to my comment?
My modern fridge automatically defrost itself and has an incredibly silent compressor. More than once I forgot to close the freezer door correctly and still it’s not covered in ice on the inside. It uses so little energy into its day to day operation.
My modern drier has a heat pump built in to effeciently heat the air. It also detects how long it needs to run to get my clothes to the perfect dryness.
My modern dishwasher has a heat exchanger system to retain the heat from the dirty water to warm the fresh water. This saves energy.
Modern devices maybe have their problems. Sometimes with cheaper components or worse repairability. But don’t pretend like the only innovation we had over the years was to add wifi to your appliances.
And probably uses 3 times the energy. My drier has a heatpump built in. I can’t imagen the old one has that. Things get more complex net just to fuck with you but because they innovate.
I don’t have a problem with wishing bad things. My wishes don’t have any power. They won’t change a thing.
I also don’t believe in karma. Too many bad things happen to good people and vice versa.
I’m still mad that they won’t do a sequelto days gone. I want closure!
Maybe you could try the system in live mode to get a feel. You can simply make an install USB stick and boot from that and just select the live install. This will start the system directly form the USB stick without installing anything and then you can just play around with it and get a feel. Just be aware that all changes are temporary and are not saved to the stick. Most major distributions have such a functionality.
At this day and age it works pretty much as you expect it to work. I’d recommend something like ubuntu (or kubuntu if you want it to look and feel more like windows). Something that is stable and not on the bleeding edge and mainstream so you can easily Google for help if you need it. Apart from that I think you can use a gui for pretty much anything you might need.
Little side note: the new long term support version of Ubuntu will be released this month. I’d wait for that so you have a pretty up to date version. If you need help or advice you can DM me if you like.
I think they are at it again. There is more and more recent street view data now.
You can set acls on directories that get applied recursively. This makes ist possible to have all files be the correct permission. I am on the go right now but you should look into setfacl. It’s been a while but I am pretty sure that worked. That way you should even be able to say which groups or users can do what with granularity.
I like blorp
