  a handful of sandy/ivy bridge motherboards already had community made bios updates that enable said feature. I personally had it on a asus z77 matx pro board as well as a gigabyte h77 board (albeit ivy bridge, same platform)

  you dont block off all vpns, the ips proton vpn uses. vpns in china work the same way… not all vons work in china

  could they theoretically just block protonvpns ip range at an isp level?

  they didnt need upgrading because they sat mostly still till amd caught up.

  they intentionally made the consumer platform stay with quad cores for over 8 generations till AMD came around with Ryzen Gen 1 to be remotely competitive.

  theres a reason why 5% per generation was a joke for almost a decade.

  according to my friend who uses it, some went to 8chan (4chan but can create new communities in the same vein of reddit), and the more extremely ones would go to soyjack or kiwifarms

  theres also the chance that at least for TTYD, that was a players choice version of the game, which retailed for 20$ new. since its 2006, on the wake of the Wii

  i typically do not have auto correct on because i tend to type on a lot of tech oriented sites which tend to have a lot of acronyms i dont want autocorrected.

  while typing this, i had to correct 3 words.

  i typo a lot on mobile because small phone and i tap to text and not swipe gesture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 game-key cards won’t be account- or console-locked⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  outside of the official service, there is actually one other feature that people forget exists, and would be relevent to the resell of the key.

  updating by local user (no not the recently announced game sharing stuff, but the ability to update a game via just being near a device with the update)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 game-key cards won’t be account- or console-locked⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  its worse than comparing it to physical media that has all content on media, but better than display boxes that only has a digital code in it.

  digital key carts are more replacing the latter (which is better) but there will definitely be a few devs who will opt out of physical media storage costs for the key card

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  no, using sony as an example. all sony consoles are hackable despite effort to stop it. nintendo is the same situation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  youd be suprised. all of Sonys consoles are hackable, despite efforts to stopping it. willing to guess that another SD express exploit will be found, as one was already found late last year, and the switch 2 is one of the devices that uses it.

  besides the lower bar of entry due to being free, Midias research has shown that yhr younger generation prefers online multiplayer, and as you grow older, you start yo favor single player games more.

  someone shouldn’t have to handle the fallout for an action caused directly by someone else handing it off to them, when she could have easily sent that text to them instead. Sibling in this case is being used because sister doesn’t want to face the arguing.

  being smart at something doesn’t mean youre smart at anything. not that im saying that jobs was smart, but its not a given. e.g how there are scientists who are anti-vax

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  hence why i kinda wanted to put “small” in emphasis, because small today isn’t the same as small before. its still small enough that it can be used in one hand though, just on the edge of it. Almost everything else is larger than it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the A series is smallish, the last small android phone was probably the Asus Zenfone 10, then Asus axed that line and merged the Zenfone line and ROG phone line and followed the ROG phones size. A phones however aren’t flagship so theyd fail the check.

  i just find it funny because the fix for it was use the playstations developer version of vsync, but fromsoft decided that they wanted to redo whats already done. thats why the stutter is almost present on all fromsoft games of that console generation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creator of Bloodborne 60fps Patch Says Sony Has Sent Him a DMCA Takedown — but Why Now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  30 fps with a broken self implemented vsync that causes stutters*

  well 1 on game, the Mario kart shown was not mario kart 8 deluxe

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Report: Switch 2 Announcement Expected This Week⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  even with the price increase, they cant realistically do it haphazardly, as the switch has a very low online subcriber rate (~20%) compared to Sony, whos rate sits closer to 80%.

  just increasing the price without offering some feature of value will hurt shareholders trust in nintendo, at least in the longterm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broccoli, cheese, and MILFs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  vegetables in general and tasting bad is moreso lack of preparation/cooking rather than the actual thing itself most of the time. Brusselsprouts is the polarizing one where its seen the most.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  you are aware that the KMT who opposed the CCPs land grab also chose an anti-profit driven land distrubition model through the Equalization of Land Rights as well right. As mentioned before, KMT were Georgism focused, and all profit should go back to the community, and any profit the owner gets is meant to go back to the building or land for improvements, none for profit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  if the rents > mortgage, then parasite. Fundamentally speaking, its pretty fucked up that fundamental basic needs are treated as investments. At least with food, theres virtually always alternatives to get something cheaper, but that doesnt exist with some of the other forms of basic needs, and shelter is arguably the most important one of them.

  The stock market was meant to be the location where people put money into investment. it’s just housing got lucrative that parasites decided to pool their money into that instead of business. A consumer has the power to refuse to fund a specific business, they have very little control over keeping a roof over their heads, which is a huge problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kate Nash and Lily Allen on OnlyFans should be a wake-up call for the music industry⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t necessarily say it is or isnt spotifies fault, but how I see it is music kinda changed due to the digital age. Before the digital age, most people mostly needed to get into, or the eyes of a record label to get anywhere, and that had its fair share of dirty laundry (e.g whats happening with P Diddy). The digital age flipped the book around, where being able to publish music nowadays is extremely easy, but the problem is you’re competing against a wave of other users. It’s also significantly more expensive to do live concerts nowadays too (which is completely separate from spotify) as more and more concerts are getting canceled
