Having a home to electrify, on the other hand…

High enough that there should be full-on riots, and yet…nothing. Depressing silence. Everyone is just lying down and allowing themselves to be robbed.

Silly man. You have a right to bear arms, not bull arms.

Illegal? What, are we practicing literal slavery now?

I don't know how it is on the Steam Deck, but on PC, 40 is unplayable and 50 is barely playable.

Since when did consoles do 60fps?

Are Blizzard games worth cracking any more?

Apple and Microsoft support aren't exactly awesome, either, unless you're a big business with deep pockets. At least with Linux, the system is open, so if there is a way to solve my problem, someone has almost certainly found it already and added it to Arch Wiki or Stack Overflow or something.

Now if only Best Buy had a complete selection of computer parts. I miss Fry's so much.

That thing you’re buying from Amazon? Just go to the manufacturer’s website and buy it directly.

That works if the manufacturer is reputable, but if I want to buy some obscure gadget from a Chinese company whose name looks like the result of somebody mashing their face on a keyboard, no way in hell am I buying it direct.

Or if it’s a no-name thing like a generic charging cable, just buy it from literally any other generic [category] retailer.

Are those guys really any better than Amazon?

Side note: one nice thing about Amazon is I can have items delivered to a locker at a nearby grocery store, instead of having it sent to my apartment building and hoping the courier delivers it to me and not someone else with a vaguely similar name. Couriers keep delivering other people's packages to me. I even encountered one courier who didn't speak English and couldn't read apartment number signs, and had to basically do his job for him. It's seriously disturbing how bad package delivery is these days. Is there some way to get non-Amazon deliveries sent to some reliable pickup location?

If they're good enough for Roman legionaries, they're good enough for you.

When I was a kid, a college degree was a job ticket, so that's still seriously alarming.

Excellent. Let's do the same in America, please. Stop KOSA!

Dear Russian warmongers,

You're welcome. Happy to help.

Love and warheads,

An American citizen.

Feature, not bug.

This must be what Nuka-Cola is made of.

I've heard that there's a hidden monthly data cap, and you get throttled real hard if you reach it, but now that it's “unlimited” they aren't telling you what it is.

Taking small climate-friendly actions and community support can help transform dread into hope and empowerment.

I don't see how. As long as everything's made in heavily-polluting countries and transported here on bunker-fuel-burning ships, global warming will proceed on schedule no matter what you and I do.

The progress on Asahi Linux is a demonstration of the difference I mentioned. People have been working on open-source NVIDIA drivers for ages and still can't get the GPU out of first gear, whereas the M1 GPU driver is mostly functional after only a couple of years.

Cryptocurrency in general is a scam.
