- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 1 week ago:
SSD’s are at best like… 3 times the cost of an HDD (and in that case you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel finding the worst SSD’s known to man)… At worst they are like 5-6 times more expensive. Speaking in absolutes is irrelevant, the relative costs are the ones that matter. Different regions have even higher prices, too.

They haven’t so far. If they ever do I’ll let you know so you can be really happy about my failure
- Comment on Microsoft Is Abandoning Windows 10. Hackers Are Celebrating. 1 week ago:
No need, the entirety of a building from a Uni I went to runs on XP with the last security patches and browsers that are built for xp compatibility like Supermium with security extensions. They never got hacked. No issues at all and the students can connect to the internet all they want, they aren’t even monitored besides checking they still work once in a while. This is because despite lack of funding for new PC’s, the security department is competent and actually knows how to work around that, as opposed to juat saying what you are all saying here. There are Win7 machines there too, which can be remotely accessed via internet. There’s a magical thing called a firewall. Did you know routers also have a firewall? Crazy right? Did you also know that almost all PC’s are connected to routers, not directly to the internet? Crazy too, right? That’s like basic level security knowledge. If you’re so terrified you will be hacked that you’re willing to put up with Microsoft’s shit, i feel bad for you all.

That’s great. I have ublock origin and paid virustotal at my side. I’m not safe, but I wouldn’t be any safer with a windows update.

Yea the rich editor probably broke on an update or something. I’ve dealt with that before. Those rich text editors like ckeditor are amazing, until they break one day or a plugin becomes unsupported and you either fix it, or it messes up loads of your content… Caching saved us more than once with that sort of thing. We just used the cached pages and lelft the original completely broken, it just couldn’t be edited anymore but it showed up fine.

I guarantee it is.

Shit should be banned across the board not just for kids. Idk why the fuck authorities are obsessed with kids.
- Comment on Brazil's president has signed a ban on selling loot boxes to minors as part of a larger online child safety law 1 week ago:
Microtransactions should be illegal across the board. Only content with real creative gameplay value should be able to be purchased, like the usual DLC’s. Also pay2win should be fucking illegal too. Ruining the experience of other players should not be available as long as you’ve got too much money to spend.
- Comment on EA reportedly to be sold off for "roughly $50 billion" to go private 1 week ago:
I really don’t think there’s a point to being disappointed here… Average consumers will consume any slop that is advertised to them. We can enjoy good games while they enjoy their slop… Though I wish more people supported indie developers.
- Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies 1 week ago:
We already never really gave a shit at the companies I worked at so far. Bosses love spewing shit about AI, telling us to use it and find out more about it, especially coding AIs, but we often try them out for a bit with serious tasks then revert back to only ever using them for formatting or research assistance. My colleagues tried and failed several times to use them for tasks involving non-trivial logic and it never worked, even with paid Cursor or Gemini.

Ah i see now, “to only support windows” *
- Comment on Anon gets rid of drop box 2 weeks ago:
I think it depends on the model. I know for example 2017 ThinkPads are excellent with windows, but the new ThinkBooks are seemingly windows-only…
- Comment on Anon gets rid of drop box 2 weeks ago:
The drivers foro the proprietary hardware are all windows only. And, ALL drivers this machine needs are proprietary. It has a fancy camera with good res and some IR…thing on it, but it only works in 480p resolution because 1. It doesn’t use a normal free driver and 2. The driver Lenovo made for it to work is only available on Windows as an exe, and I’m really not knowledgeable enough to try to get it to work on a work machine… If you know what I can do please educate me but I’m not willing to guess and then have to pay for the thing… If you want details it’s the ThinkBook G6 17 IML.

- Comment on Anon gets rid of drop box 2 weeks ago:
Yea, but the issue is, Windows works because others don’t, like linux. Windows gets preferrential baby treatment from all consumer tech manufacturers… A perfect example is my laptop. I have ubuntu on it. NOTHING works right because Lenovo decided to only support linux and my employer didn’t check and neither did they agree to invest some of my hours to investigate. Now I’m stuck with it. So i ask: is that Linux’s fault, or Lenovo’s, or whose is it?.. Either way it’s not Linux’s fault…

Me yesterday, except I only thought it figured it out, then found out hours later I must revert back to my workaround because it didn’t really work fully and was fragile as fuck.
