In a world where electronics were really expensive and did not go out of date so quickly, maybe people actually would have tools and spare parts lying around for the power electronics. But a) that's not the world we live in, and b) usually the software is not user serviceable, at least with reasonable effort, and the microelectronics never is

And tbf they’d be correct. Best you can hope for is a laugh.

Damn. Thought they launched something new.

If you're on Windows it's hard to recommend anything else. Nvidia has DLSS supported in basically every game. For recent games there's the new transformer DLSS. Add to that ray reconstruction, superior ray tracing, and a steady stream of new features. That's the state of the art, and if you want it you gotta pay Nvidia. AMD is about 4 years behind Nvidia in terms of features. Intel is not much better. The people who really care about advancements in graphics and derive joy from that are all going to buy Nvidia because there's no competition.

Do these people not ever talk to anyone in real life? How do you arrive at thinking all real humans are Marxists/Leninists?

Pretty much. Maybe someone at the 8bitdo HQ got an SD and discovered that the controllers all worked great?

Once everything has been optimized and runs smoothly, there are no surprises anymore, nothing interesting, you just do a routine that you've specialized in and have gotten bored at 10 years ago. Our quality of life is unparalleled. Our quality of work less so. It's safe and all, but so so boring

I'm on team dentist here as well. Those things don't geow back unless you're 3. Get an electric toothbrush. They're not that expensive, and don't make brushing take any more time than otherwise.

I think the kind of plastic used in bottles is one of very few that actually are profitable to recycle. PET, I think. This is actually something recycling companies want. Most other plastic is just burned or shipped somewhere.

Exactly this. Isn't the point of the BBC world service to communicate/propagandise the British view of what's happening in the world to other countries? Imagine Russia Today adding a paywall? It's counter to the entire point! I think you may be on to something about this being a concession to Trump.

Isn't it possible to use flatpak? Then Steam would come with all its required 32 bit libraries in the flatpak.

Second this. It was really rough for a while, but now it's mostly (mostly!) smooth. Still waiting for a mesa version with the Doom fixes, though, so don't expect frequent driver updates. I think maybe the stable Pop release is better with this?

The tusks know where they are because they know where they are not

You didn't have to write this.

Bad things also happen outside the concentration camp. Everyone is oppressed in a fascist state. Besides, there were other ways than skin color and nose size to end up in a concentration camp under the Nazis. Having the wrong books was enough. If you truly think the US is going all the way then the rational thing to do is to get out before you no longer can.

Oh, everyone does this and it's not new. The US has done this an absolute ton, and is still doing it in, for example, Iran. Arguably the US exists because France did this to the British empire, although France was unusually direct in its support of the rebels. Recently, Pakistan did this with Afghanistan. It's incredibly common.

In such a scenario you have bigger issues to worry about. Your first priority should then be to emigrate far far away, ideally across some sort of ocean. If this seems like an overreaction to you, then what you're experiencing may not be comparable to the actual Nazi party.

Some of it is legit self-sustaining grassroots stuff. Some is funded by Russia (curiously I don't think China does this stuff a lot). Some in the first category started as stuff in the second category.

This is standard geopolitics. You find dissatisfied people in the population of countries you don't like, and then you support those people in various ways in order to destabilize your competitors.

Unless your parents are abusive and don't love you - don't actually cut contact. That's probably a bad life decision.

Would love to block .ml. The stuff coming out of there is just too dumb.
