I feel like why not just print to pdf from your pdf viewer?
- Comment on What happens if I never activate Windows? 3 weeks ago:
it limits the Windows updates you’ll receive.
I don’t think it does now does it? For the longest time ms wants to make sure all machines are up to date to try and keep, “always getting viruses” moniker away. I think maybe xp did that?

Yea, this is not cheap companies doing cheap things. This is companies getting annoyed by stupid licencing and restrictions, getting around the problem.

Everyone saying PSU, but I also had a similar issue and it turned out to be my GPU overheating (driver did an emergency shutdown of windows.) It was a fair few years old, but after a re-paste of the GPU thermal compound the issue went away. The reason I say is it’s probably cheaper than a new PSU, so I would do it first.

Strangely player numbers are up. Usually when you see it drop to 3 figures it won’t go back.
- Comment on These racing game players are 11 days into an exhausting race to climb a deadly tower 1 month ago:
It’s insanely hard compared to the first (only 12 people finished that one.) I think it’s nice that the streamers cheer eachother on, normal races can make it competitive but everyone knows that they can fail that same jump just as easily.
I was not expecting it to last quite this long tho.
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 1 month ago:
Sure, but that term does not violate the first amendment since the government didn’t stop you from saying it, so would hold up. You might be able to get it thrown out due to something else, you would need a lawyer for that.
That contract will have penalties for violations, and those are what you would be subject to if in violation.

You are aware that first amendment protects speech from government actions/bodies only. It’s not something you can use against a private business (there are other laws for discrimination.)
- Comment on After 10,000+ hours grinding, MapleStory's first level 300 player slams the brakes at 299.99 to rant about the MMO and then quit, all on a dev-promoted stream 2 months ago:
If I paid for starfield I would have felt annoyed about it. Played it on game pass so probably spent half price or less on the subscription time. It was fine, but not full price fine.
