Shutup still works but I wouldn’t trust it to prevent all telemetry. I wouldn’t trust Microsoft not to have other telemetry that’s not part of their services that can be turned off.

Just my 2 cents: I dual boot Windows and Linux. I only start up Windows when I want to play a game, use Linux Mint for everything else. Some games run perfectly fine under Linux (I play a lot of Factorio for example. No Mans Sky I’ve had no issues etc.) but some are just a pain. For those I switch to Windows and then immediately switch back when I’m done playing.

It’s not ideal but this way Windows has next to no information about me at least. And as times goes on I’m seeing more and more games running just fine under Linux. Maybe one day I’ll be able to drop Windows completely.

Unlikely. It won’t run optimally but it shouldn’t be the cause of crashes or bugs. If you’re not sure you can run a ram test (https://memtest.org/)

I looked at an “AAA” game maybe twice in give or take the last decade and both times have regretted it. Indie games are the bomb.

Taiwan is incredibly pro-US, one of our staunchest allies in Asia, together with Japan. Great idea pissing them off.

Some company decided to change their logo because it looks dated and might give the wrong impression. How is this even a problem?

As for liberals causing problems, yeah maybe they go a bit too far some times and can be over sensitive. But the other side is literally trying to take us back to theocracy, where women only have the rights their husbands will allow them. They’re not even pretending otherwise any more. I’ll take oversensitive over that any day.

I mean whatever I posted there I posted for public use. Whatever it can learn from my few ancient Stack Overflow posts, it’s welcome to it.

I can appreciate that sentiment but at the same time it’d be hard to swallow if I were Ukrainian and the Russians were at this very moment killing my countrymen while my ally invites them over for tea. It’s one thing to let go of the past, quite another to let go of the present.

Blasting is all fine and good but they should’ve slammed them really.

It might not work eh? Might it though? I hate this kind of weasel headline almost as much as the constant “slamming”. Just say what you’re going to say.

They just said it is optimized for gaming and has a toggle to “optimize the CPU drive”… Can’t wait for this technological marvel.

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, except maybe we should switch to show not tell. I understand that it’s not as easy as that but over the last let’s say 30 years, how much has the left really improved life for the rural population? And by comparison how much do we preach to them that they’re backwards and their world view is invalid?

It’s exactly as you say, the working class should be an easy win for us on policy, but it hasn’t turned out that way.

You can just say “well they’re stupid that’s what you get” or you can ask yourself why aren’t we getting these people on board while some greasy billionaire can?

Not to the racism and idiocy but to the underlying issues that fuel that anger.

These same senators are responsible for spouting tongs of other of nonsense, I wouldn’t take it too seriously and don’t make up the majority of even the insane wing of the GOP. Not saying this is not a threat that, for example, Trump might make if he gets elected but for now I would take this with a grain of salt. They’re just puffing up their chests for their own base here, as usual.

The US can say what they want, Netanyahu knows going against Israel is political suicide. Whatever threat they make won’t have any teeth. He could care less what Biden or anyone else wants.

If they really are micro breaks, as in a few minutes, try doing nothing. Just being alone with your thoughts a few times per day is good for you. We’re not made to have our attention grabbed by media 24/7.

Was I a good processor?

No one ever mentions the MSX. Best of the 8 bit generation as far as I’m concerned, scrolling purists be damned.

I don’t think he needed to plan it. This is just convenient. He knew one way or another he would get his way. Hell he’d do it without Biden’s approval if needed, wouldn’t be the first time they gave the US the middle finger. They know going directly against Israel is political suicide in the US.

The big problem is that one usually leads to the other. Saying politically unpopular things in a way those governments perceive as threatening often leads to more than just administrative fines.

Shareholders: you doubled your profit last year, so I expect you to do it again this year.

Biden has said he won’t support any Israeli attack on Iran. Whether he’ll live up to that if push comes to shove…?
