This is basically my assumption whenever I hear “CEO X says RTO is the bestest thing.” My first thought is always “I wonder how much money CEO X has in commercial real estate”

Tell me you don’t understand your userbase without telling me you don’t understand your userbase

So this is anecdotal I know, but I work on a Mac, so I’ve only ever held on to Windows for gaming. (Sidenote: The Mac isn’t my choice, either, but it has a terminal, and it does the job)

I’ve definitely tried to go fully Linux in the past, but it was always gaming that killed it for me. Wine was just never very consistent for me in this area.

Long story but, I recently lost my gaming machine, and was gifted a friends old one. Also a long story, but he ended up putting Linux on it for me. I figured I’d use it as is until payday before buying a key for Windows.

Holy shit gaming on Linux become has easy! Steam/proton is amazing!

I won’t lie, it’s not always as simple as install and run, but the tweaking that’s been required has been orders of magnitude simpler than what it used to be. Click a box 90% of the time, Click a box and add a run parameter for another 5%.

The only games that haven’t worked for me are Starfield and Cyberpunk (accounting for the last 5%.)

Starfield might just be too much for this old machine, but Cyberpunk I have no idea. Neither are a huge loss to me when Balders Gate, and Elite Dangerous are running fine. Also long standing favourites like Just Cause 3/4 work perfectly too.

I’m thrilled and a little shocked to say I think I’m finally done with Windows

Care to elaborate? I don’t see how having the leaves in a bag is inferior to having them loose

I use DDG when coding and generally find it to be a bit nicer, but from the article it sounds like they’re prone to the same issues. Anecdotally, I have noticed non-code queries do seem to be similarly crap

ETA: You can set it as default in Chrome too, under Settings -> Search Engine

What is everyone else using instead?

I’ll take “Unethical accounting” for 500, Alex

In my opinion this is the best outcome. The technology is not ready, and it’s potential for abuse is far greater than it’s potential for good at present. It needs another 10 years minimum to ensure it can at least be controlled to some extent. Breaking these models is trivially easy at the moment.

Microsoft won’t put it on ice, but maybe they’ll fuck it up badly enough that people will forget about it for a while. We’re currently at the “VR in the 80’s” point in the journey, imo.

Lol, you can dream, just don’t pre-order.

Edit: actually, going to expound on this. I predict the following:

An initially buggy, but impressive engine with a mediocre, and probably too short single player story that will be overshadowed by always online crap that you can’t turn off. There will be one or two missions that are news-worthily provocative in some way, featuring overly graphic sex and/or really REALLY violent. You’ll probably have the option to play it in co-op mode. It will ship with online multi-player. will have game breaking micro transactions from the start, and the online space will be utterly toxic from day 1. They will milk this engine for the next 20 years until it (and we) beg for death. You will be able to dance. Like in fortnite, dance.

I don’t know what the actual lyrics are, and I never want to know. to me they will forever be “we will stand, wake… UP”

Lol, I meant another month before I can get tested. I was back at it the next day.

I think my experience was pretty non typical, but ye, I did NOT have a good time.

Long story short, there was student in the room, so instead of just getting it over with as quickly as possible, my guy was EXCRUCIATINGLY slow to numb me, and not before he’d shown her how to enter the fucking konami code into my nutsack. At one point I actually sat up and asked just what the fuck he was doing, because I was in so much discomfort. It probably lasted 15 - 20 minutes total, but it felt like eternity.

Other than that, it was fine though. Felt like I’d been kicked in the nuts for a few days afterwards, but then it was all good. Still got a month to go before I get the all clear though.

Interesting. Did you have a laser or a scalpel? I had mine last month, and haven’t noticed any difference at all.

I suspect the 2 decades might have more to do with your balls hanging lower than the vasectomy lol

Here you go

Note the date on that video. To be fair, this is the first I’m hearing of this as well, but then this is also the first time I’ve heard of Elizabeth Olsen, so what do I know ¯\(ツ)/¯

Listen, I’m a busy guy with a life. I don’t have 20 minutes to dedicate to a video. I’d rather watch a few shorts… a quick 5 10 30 45 minute session is all I’m after…
