Just finished the new Riven remake, pretty cool game, now continuing High on Life, and Ghostwire Tokio

Better than

Haven’t heard of pirated games with steam achievement support, like how would this even work, you either have the game in your steam account or not

Well, to some people the biggest achievement is getting out of the bed

Sadly because it works, mobile gaming is bigger money-wise than PC and consoles combined, all because people are susceptible to short term dopamine hit your can buy any time, it’s a part of what we call enshittification, making the product less user friendly and make more money, shareholders are happy, your don’t have to

Say something wrong about co**unism or any s country practicing it here and you’ll see how free speech works, that’s your only warning, you won’t get an official one, that’s not how moderation works here, no matter what their COC says

I was sucked up big time by Project Hail Mary, the Children of Time series is nice too, currently reading the third book, had to stop reading Hyperion because Sol Weintraub’s story made me cry uncontrollably (as a father), A Canticle for Leibowitz is nice, highly recommend The Swarm by Frank Schatzing, seems kinda boring, but it was highly captivating read for me, highly accurate fact wise and the main premise is a very interesting idea

It’s not just about that, people will be disabling the feature that is potentially beneficial to their security, disabling http downloads from http sites is just an extension of blocking http downloads from https sites

Another security feature added is the blocking of downloading files from URLs that are on lists of potentially dangerous content.

Yeah, I’m not sure blocking HTTP downloads by default is a good idea, I mean many offices probably have some internal legacy HTTP only sites that nobody dares to touch, that are perfectly safe being HTTP (if you have hackers inside your network a simple intranet site spoofing is your least problem), and disabling this security option might have a lot of wider repercussions

People say reptiles are tastier than chicken, the thing is chicken is mass produced at an industrial level, most of the reptiles are wild caught, maybe we should compare them to wild chicken or game bird, instead of store bought chicken, also it would differ wildly depending on type of dinosaur, it was a very diverse group

Imagine the sound it made in its days, all those FDD and HDDs, I remember when I got my first PC in 1999, I found the FDD was surprisingly loud, like a dot printer, then my first CD burner, it was as loud as a hair dryer on turbo, fast forward to a few years ago, when I changed my case fans to Arctic P12s and had to double-check if my PC is on because I couldn’t hear it, and now it’s even more quiet because my new PSU funny spin it’s fan in idle, unfortunately my GPU is loud AF when playing games, thinking about repasting it

Seems like a ~~blessing ~~ glaring kde bug, I mean how is it possible? Why a theme needs to be able to execute shell commands?

Maybe I’m old but I’ll never buy a live service game, I mean I don’t like to play with people anyway, but there are multiple solo games with a bunch of MTX in the top of AAA price and they can shut down servers any time, and that’s stupid

My father won an equivalent of $40 000 here in Poland which was a hefty sum in 1999, it opened some perspectives for us, we renovated our communist-built flat (bye bye wooden windows), my sister got married with her boyfriend, parents bought them a flat (for silly money, inflation is a removed), paid for a moderate wedding, I got a PC (shitty for that times) and my father bought a car, he had a minor cardiac arrest a year later, he couldn’t keep his job with his condition, so he became jobless, money was spent, my education fund was spent, fast forward few years later long story short I got married, had to pay for my wedding by myself, living at my wife’s parents

The Swarm by Frank Schätzing, I was glued to the book, A Canticle for Leibowitz is nice, Project Hail Mary was awesome, Martian too

I’d say visibility is kinda poor

I heard about the game but didn’t know it came out already, maybe marketing was insufficient, wouldn’t buy it though, don’t have any VR hardware anyway

Yeah, an oscilloscope would be handy in hunting spikes, it’s a bit harder with a standard multimeter, you sure you don’t know anyone with a spare PSU to borrow?

ssds getting not enough power? i’d test it with different PSU, i had a problem with my ssd failing and changing PSU worked, apparently 3.3VDC rail is routed on the motherboards without any conversion straight to m.2/pcie devices

it’s a sub brand of Toshiba, so not some unknown shit, very respected brand i’d say
