  • If it's going to be anything like XP and Win 7, no, but actually kinda yes.

    Microsoft wants you to upgrade to win 11 so they don't offer the updates for you, but if you refuse they'd still much rather you don't just run an unsecured Windows for multiple years so the security check to enable extended updates is rather easy to bypass almost on purpose.

    But we won't know until after they drop support.

  • $61 is exactly how much Disney Plus Premium increased their annual price in the past hike few months back, to put it into perspective (from $79 to $140).

  • That's most likely going to take a long while though. Win 7 ended mainstream support in 2015 and extended in 2020, the last chrome version to run on it is 109 which was released in 2023.

  • But if those modifications were known to cause the system to brick after you update, wouldn't it be really nice if it stopped you from doing it?
    And not just "yeah we know having done x will cause a bootloop after update, if you don't know to uninstall/fix it it first, too bad."

  • Alphabet uses it for abc.xyz because it's funny, but the .xyz registrar is the British Team Internet/CentralNic.

    Just like how they use youtu.be and goo.gl, but Alphabet doesn't own Belgium or Greenland either. At least, not yet.

  • The difference between Valve and almost every other company that suffers from "capitalism" is that Valve is a private company, they don't have shareholders, investors and an outsider asshole CEO demanding enshittification in the name of exponential growth.

  • This is basically how radio controlled models using FM TX/RX pairs were coordinated back in the day, there would be a board with each frequency crystal that you would use for your transmitter, and you'd plop the matching one into your model. Reason being that if someone was already flying something and you turned your radio on to the same frequency, they would immediately crash.

  • Ukraine had one of the largest nuclear weapon stockpiles when the USSR broke with around 1900 warheads and 4000 tactical nuclear weapons. They de-weaponized themselves and got rid of them all.

    And how'd exactly that go for them, hm?

  • Unsurprisingly, some of the posts about this have been removed by the subreddit moderators. That post also originally had a message from the automod that it was removed because it was in violation of rule 7 for posting "intentional misinformation" due to the "developing a very common issue" in the title, but they have since decided to remove that comment as well - didn't restore the post though.

  • Because it seems like you disliked them and "off" is one of the controllable options?
    But I guess you are at a so advanced level of not giving a shit that you don't even care that they dance around.

  • I use an entirely different browser (vivaldi), that way I can have all the logins and bookmarks and cookies I want and not have to worry about it.

  • It is accurate. There have been four school shootings in total in the history of Finland - Raumanmeri, Jokela, Kauhajoki and now this.

  • I can read that without any issues whatsoever.

    But. If. You. Put. Periods. Between. Each. Word. My brain will force a pause between every single one and I can't override it.

  • If it was just about the sound, then you could get the exact same results by recording the vinyl player directly to a lossless format and playing that back, but it wouldn't be quite the same. Big part of it is just the fact that you are using a vinyl player and these huge fragile disks that makes it an enjoyable experience by itself.

  • Now that they don't have to optimize for last gen console hardware anymore, that's going to be even more rare for any triple-A game. Even a well optimized PS5 game is going to seriously struggle to run on the Deck as even if you reduce the graphical setting, the PS5 essentially has an 8 core version of the 4 core CPU in the Deck.

    Combine that with the 15W shared TDP limit and the game would basically have to be able to run using only roughly 25% the CPU load.

  • This is nothing but a modern spin on "hey internet, what's wrong with me? WebMD: it's cancer."

  • We all know how the Russians treat the areas and civilians that they capture though, so they are hoping someone else will protect them from that fate, so they don't have to. If it ends up that there weren't enough people to do it, they will end up hoping they'd helped defend it too, but at that point it will be too late.
