Then they should stop threatening to attack Taiwan. Threats of attack make people think you might attack.

Yeah, GOG is at least offering DRM-free games. That gives them one big plus over Steam and is why I maintain a library on both.
On the other hand, I can’t name a single thing Epic does better than Steam and GOG.


They are only considering it now as they have driven the XBOX brand to an all-time low. Would have been best if they did this before all the weird PC branding and Series X stuff. Made the entire thing a confusing mess.
Why does the ROG XBOX ALLY X not play XBOX games?
Why does Windows have XBOX plastered all over it when it doesn’t play XBOX games?
Since the XBOX consoles are literally just PCs under the hood, why not unify XBOX games to work everywhere?
Which console is faster, the XBOX One X (the fast one of the generation) or XBOX Series S (the slow one of the generation)? Can you explain it to grandma?
And this is on top of the fact that Windows is no longer the only PC OS people game on, primarily due to how spyware and ad riddled Microsoft made Windows. Microsoft fucked their entire gaming segment from just about every angle.


Apparently I’m the Luddite here for sticking with the light switch on the wall that has always just worked. ;p


‘point of no return’
Prices return once supply is returned.
The Guardian is being very dramatic here.


‘Layoffs to focus on AI’ at this point seems to be the in-vogue way to distract investors from the poor financials that are driving the layoffs.


Whatever % of the general budget goes toward roads. Money is fungible, this has the same answer as: What portion of sales tax pays for roads, what portion of income tax pays for roads, what portion of land tax pays for roads?
The important part here is that you do pay taxes when you charge your EV. We don’t need to double tax EVs.


The suit says after the rollout, DoorDash delivery drivers were able to see when pizzas would come out of the oven. They would wait up to 15 minutes for multiple orders to be ready before grabbing them, slowing down delivery, according to the lawsuit.
Was it the AI system or the DoorDash integration that caused the issues?


EVs already pay electricity tax when they charge. We don’t need to double tax EV ownership.


And this is on top of the fact you pay an electric tax when you charge.
EVs in Washington are already double taxed!


Electric cars pay electricity tax. Gas cars pay gasoline tax. We don’t need to tax electric cars even more.
Making Trump look weak is probably the only thing that would convince him to donate arms to Ukraine. Russia cannot afford for the USA to start that up again; Russia is struggling hard with only Europe donating arms.
Putin is bogged down in his war of conquest; his oil export terminals thrashed and refineries burnt. He doesn’t have the ability to do anything else. See also: Syria and Armenia.

It always struck me as…poor…to not require a password for decryption. If you require zero knowlege from me, that means a stolen has everything inside needed to decrypt all the data.
And well, lookie there at the article!


8GB of VRAM just isn’t worth it. Hold onto what you got for now.


They probably could have put a few MS ads on the website for Azure or w/e and actually made a profit. Otherwise, they could have just left it alone, it wasn’t hurting or competing with them.


Github has not even one-nine of uptime. Normally you want three-nines or four-nines, they have ZERO-nines. A server in your basement is worlds more reliable.



I have also found that self-hosting, even with your own hardware, is significantly cheaper than the premium cloud hosting (AWS, etc). We priced out a VM server at my company and we found we could rebuy the hardware for it every FIVE months, just from the cloud hosting costs. And that is if we were decently disciplined about turning VMs on and off every day (which we all knew was a fantasy).
That caused us to strike out the premium providers. Leaving us with the non-premium ones (Digital Ocean, etc), co-locating, or in-house hosting.
Note yours is only 70€ less because it is missing the storage and power supply prices.
Mentioning this as it actually makes your point stronger.
