Not possible.

Just like gsync died
(true) gsync isn’t dead, it’s only in the highest end of monitors which is basically where it’s always been. It only “died” because it requires an expensive module vs adaptive sync being built into basically every modern display controller so it’s basically free.
- Comment on Rumors Of End to Xbox-Only Exclusives Swirl As More Game Studios Embrace Simultaneous Launch Strategy 4 days ago:
I thought they still made games for the non series X/S/One but apparently they stopped in 2023.
Well either way I felt the same way about the original one. I got mine in 2018 and I’ve played less than 100 hours of games on it, and never actually bought any games for it (I got it second hand with about 6 games).
In general I think AAA games just aren’t worthwhile, let alone AAA exclusives. There’s a lot of great indie games, but that requires going through the sludge of indie games.

Then they still get your money and it’s at the higher cut.

Why would MS care if you already have a PC? The console sale itself doesn’t really make them money, it’s the games. And if you’re still buying their games on PC they still get their (albeit lower) cut.

They’re also probably broadcasting at powers not safe for humans to constantly be around, only for the 1/10th of a second you pass under.
- Comment on Are there any actual free programs that clean up all bloat ware on a new laptop? Without them putting hidden stuff in? 2 weeks ago:
At this point basically all drivers will reinstall automatically from windows update. Just grab a USB drive and reinstall windows fresh if you don’t want to deal with uninstalling everything.

Only 500 hours? I’ve put years of my life into world of warcraft.
- Comment on Making peace with liking very few games? 2 weeks ago:
Like, we can obviously still follow news and whatnot
I stopped following the news first, then largely lost interest in new games after that. After TotalBiscuit passed I haven’t seen a single thing about video game news or reviews. If there’s something I’m interested in I might skim through a review, but that’s the most I do.
- Comment on Intel Arc B580 'Battlemage' GPU announced - 1440p Ultra gaming for $249 2 weeks ago:
…I completely forgot that was even a thing. It came out and nobody really cared. Only the 770/750 got love, and the a380 saw some appreciation for being the quicksync addon card.
Well regardless it’s the same MSRP as the A770 post price drop, and still outperforms it.
- Comment on Intel Arc B580 'Battlemage' GPU announced - 1440p Ultra gaming for $249 2 weeks ago:
Most of the demand is for Windows. So if your choice is to spend resources (money) where demand is, or hope that you can possibly create demand where there isn’t any currently.
- Comment on Intel Arc B580 'Battlemage' GPU announced - 1440p Ultra gaming for $249 2 weeks ago:
Original MSRP of the A770 was $330 so that is a big improvement. I assume intel is sticking with a reasonable launch MSRP to set expectations right.
- Comment on Intel Arc B580 'Battlemage' GPU announced - 1440p Ultra gaming for $249 2 weeks ago:
It would be incredibly stupid for Intel to abandon the dGPU market after spending all this money on it. As long as Battlemage turns out alright (basically it’s only goal) I doubt it will go away.
They cut the die size nearly in half so they’re no longer blowing a fuck ton of money on a $200 GPU. As long as utilization of the silicon goes up it should be fine.
- Comment on Apple Pay, Cash App, and other digital wallets will be regulated more like banks now 3 weeks ago:
It will give the CFPB the authority to oversee their compliance with federal laws surrounding privacy, fraud, and other rules through “proactive examinations.”
It’s to help stop scams, not for people trying to use them as a bank or something.

Depending on what you’re trying to create blender is very easily beat by other programs. Almost every time a friend watches me use blender I’ll get hit with “this would be so much easier in fusion 360”
- Comment on Before buying this printer, I made a quick search to confirm that it has wifi connectivity... (the algorithm lied to me) 4 weeks ago:
Maybe after reading 30 pages of the manual it might make things clear. But IDK about you, but I don’t want to read through the owners manual for 10 different printers before buying one.
- Comment on Before buying this printer, I made a quick search to confirm that it has wifi connectivity... (the algorithm lied to me) 4 weeks ago:
And a raspberry pi will do a hell of a lot better job at doing that than the printer.
Our brother printer at work is otherwise a fairly great printer. But dear god does it have the WORLDS WORST wifi connectivity. I had to put it directly under an AP at work so it wouldn’t try to connect to one on the other side of the office at 0.1Mbps and constantly dropping packets.

At what point reading my comment did you come up with this?

Zero emissions? I know people find it ha ha funny, but farts legitimately contain methane and other green house gassses.
Cows for example are a large contributor of GHG

- Comment on 5 days with new phone number - 84 spam calls 1 month ago:
This happened with all of our work phones. It died down over time of not answering, but it still happens.
Honestly sticking with a known number is much better than trying to get something new. There’s a reason that number was available, and it’s probably because someone wanted the spam to stop.

You don’t even need to install the App (or keep it installed), it’s a service they offer on their end.

Don’t forget safety. There’s a LOT of of sketchy ass gan (and non gan) chargers I wouldn’t even let in my house. Gan chargers being by so compact dont have enough space to safely insulate things.
- Comment on what's stops one from scavenging the best parts of old phones and putting them into a new one? 1 month ago:
Modern phone cameras are 99% software at this point. If you took one phones camera and put it onto another phone without adapting the software then the photos will look like ass.
You can’t just unplug something from device X and connect it to device Y. The connectors aren’t standardized. And even if they were they wouldn’t fit because the placement is different. In theory you could take the CPU off of one device and plant it onto another. But have fun with that BGA micro soldering. Plus the connections will be different unless you picked a phone with the exact same CPU. Ram is the only thing you could potentially upgrade. But like good luck.
You’d legitimately have an easier time making a new phone from scratch than trying to piece together 3 different phones.
