If you don’t trust…

• The Associated Presss (citing US Intelligence),
• CNN (citing Microsoft), and
• NPR (citing “an Israeli watchdog group” – okay, I’ll give you this one),

…then who do you trust?

It almost sounds like you’re brushing off any media report as “a mouthpiece”, and only believing random anonymous posts on the Internet.

Isn’t it common knowledge that there is an Iranian state-sposored social media campaign doing the exact same thing for the other side?

Social Media is the best thing that has ever happened for Iran, Russia, & China in terms of expanding the reach of propaganda.

My daily trickplay task finished in 1 minute after the update. So apparently not.

I just don’t connect my Hisense to the Internet, and let my Nvidia Shield TV do all the “Smart” stuff. 🤷‍♂️

“Fuck you… Unless I really like you. But extra fuck you if you run a non-PC gaming platform.”

I mean, why give GabeN our email addresses then?

You see, there’s the thing. Sony is not requiring any sort of launcher. It’s an account.

“But mah privacy!”

Again, no launcher. What exactly are they going to track? That you’re playing their game?

You really think GTA6 won’t have a single player component? And that it won’t require a Rockstar account/launcher?

Ok, cool.

Let’s revisit this when Rockstar gets universal adoration for GTA6, which will absolutely require a Rockstar account & launcher.

So that’s who that tool is that’s trying to convince me I need to hate another game every time I rot my brain on TikTok.

I don’t know how many times I’ve told that app I’m not interested in how much he hates Star Wars Outlaws.

Not only do you need an account with those other publishers, but you often need an entirely separate launcher.

This Sony thing is simply creating an account.

This is all just console wars bullshit. It’s stupid when it was Nintendo vs. Sega. It’s stupid when it’s Sony vs. Microsoft. And it’s stupid when it’s PC vs Console.

Grow the fuck up, you emotionally-stunted fucking manchildren.

For me, entirely the opposite.

I just bought the Lossless Scaling app on Steam for my RTX 3070. That shit is magic on the 144Hz 4K TV that my gaming PC is connected to. I play games exclusively with a gamepad, so I notice absolutely zero input latency.

I have fully drunk the frame gen Kool-Aid.

The PS5 Pro is a decent value compared to a PC. It’s just not an amazing value like the original PS5 was in 2020.

Take PCPP’s Entry Level AMD Gaming Build. Upgrade it to a 2TB NVME and a RX 6800 GPU. That’s $830. ⁨ https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/NtFfrH/entry-level-amd-gaming-build⁩

That’s pretty similar specs to the PS5 Pro (with a better Zen 3 CPU, but minus a gamepad).

I’m surprised that they don’t take even a minimal amount of effort to clean those things up before selling it. A little dab of isopropryl alcohol does wonders.

That cartridge looks like it spent the last 20 years in a butt.

Someone buys fake on eBay. Plays it. Sells it to Gamestop. Minimum wage employee does not spot that it’s fake and it ends up on the used game shelf.

None of this is new.

The Holy Trinity: VIM, Arch, and Rust

It’s funny, because as much as people here hate corporations and monopolies, they would seemingly kill their own mother if it meant Steam would be the only seller of PC games.

EDIT: As demonstrated by these angry downvote reactions…

Actual pharmacist here, working in pharmacy IT.

Unlike other industries, Pharmacy is not particularly thrilled about or interested in AI. In fact, my hospital explicitly blocks access to all LLMs.

I was actually kind of hoping to see what Microsoft is claiming here, and just walked away from this post more confused.

Hey, at least all of us peeps in the US can upgrade our >$100 capped plans to unlimited for the low-low price of $30-50/month (i.e. what some of our friends overseas pay for their whole-ass unlimited crazyfast internet plan).

Your -arrs see the torrent download folder as /mnt/arr-stack/torrents/completed, and qBittorrent sees it as /downloads.

Maybe this is only a problem with Transmission, but I’ve had trouble making my Arr stack play nice with torrents when the different apps think downloads live in different folders.
