⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Paying extra just to have access to multiplayer is one of the core reasons I sold my 360 and haven’t bought a console since. PS2 and latest PC are both golden!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why can't a PC-laptop boot without datetime?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
The BIOS on that is clearly a bit odd, I haven’t seen that as a requirement before. That said, the BIOS battery is probably dead. Replace that and it should fix the issue.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I stop sleeping through everything?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
You are having a pretty big issue here. Don’t try, do. You can wean yourself in just a few days. Or cold turkey if you don’t think you can keep to a weaning schedule.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
After having lived though many of these. Just turn off the news for a few weeks. You probably won’t even notice when it comes back without someone telling you.

$3,800 and you fully own your 2.25 acres. That shit won’t take long to pay off. Now, you actually own more than the hunter/gatherer did!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is exploited⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
OP shouldn’t be doing 1h of unpaid overtime every day. Just simply don’t do it. Get a new job if necessary.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is exploited⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
If you own/use as much as a hunter-gather owned/used, you also wouldn’t need to work very much.

Take away the fridge, tv, computer, phone, car, hvac, stove, microwave, water, electricity, gas, 95% of the house, going out to eat, etc. You are not left with many expenses. You can live that way, it doesn’t require much working to maintain that lifestyle.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨proof of wormholes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

Nothing but to agree.

Cancer existed before cigarettes. Therefore "anyone trying to tell you that cigarettes cause cancer is entirely full of crap”.

But we are way past the point of facts.

Clearly, since this ‘meme’ is using some real bad arguments to try to prove facts.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨proof of wormholes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
No, it just makes you look dumb for refuting a false statement with another bad argument.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨proof of wormholes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The logic of the ‘meme’ is faulty. Something being identified before something else does not mean the second thing cannot create the first.

Cancer existed before cigarettes, yet cigarettes still cause cancer. Using this ‘meme’s’ logic, “anyone trying to tell you that cigarettes cause cancers is entirely full of crap”.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI admits AI hallucinations are mathematically inevitable, not just engineering flaws⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
A hallucination is something that disagrees with your active inputs (ears, eyes, etc). AIs don’t have these active inputs, all they have is the human equivalent of memories. Everything they draw up is a hallucination, literally all of it. It’s simply coincidence the hallucination matches reality.

Is it really surprising that the thing that can only create hallucinations is often wrong? That the thing that can only create hallucinations will continue to be wrong on a regular basis?

But, why?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell Is Us lead says Silksong's short notice release date was "a little callous," even if he's happy they didn't delay it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The alternative is to release a date early, have everyone shift around your schedule, find out it’s not done, delay it, have everyone shift around your schedule again, find out it’s still not done, have everyone shift around your schedule YET AGAIN, etc, etc.

Naw, release games when they are done. Silksong did it right.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Far Cry series will push multiplayer "more predominantly" going forwards, according to Ubisoft boss⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Lol, wut? The entire point of the Far Cry series is the single player.

Though it has been clear for awhile the single player experience in Far Cry games has been going downhill. With this announcement, any shred of worth in the series is clearly in the past.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft waives fees for Windows devs publishing to Microsoft Store⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
They are 15-years too late to try to get people on their store.

I remember when it first came out, you couldn’t even put normal programs on it. Only the new Metro apps…that flopped. Ah, how I had hoped at the time it would be like Linux’s repos, a one-stop-shop to update everything.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers Nexus's GPU smuggling documentary is finally back up after being fraudulently DMCA'd by Bloomberg. Go give them a watch to make up for some of the lost traction!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
This is a re-upload by a third party. Which is perfectly acceptable, but do note it’s not back up on Gamer’s Nexus’ page.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are fossil fuels vegan?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
If ’ you mean carbon dioxide, then I hate to tell you, but you make that as well.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are fossil fuels vegan?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
- Coal is made from plants.
- Oil is made from plankton and algae.
- Natural gas is made from microorganisms.
I believe all three have a small chance of also being made from an animal. But I wasn’t able to verify that part.

Downvoting since this is a game guide/spoilers, and not something that is intended to be brought to someone’s attention. If someone is confused about how to get this, they will either figure it out or look it up and come to this article themselves.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there "headhunters" that work *for* you?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
External recruiters often get paid more after you have been with a company for a year. Furthermore, both you and the employer have to accept the other (do remember, particularly after entry level, interviews go both ways).

They are fairly motivated to get you where you need to be.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Ukraine provoke Russia by building a dam?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
(he ad pivoted to the NATO encroachment defense of the war) and I said even if there was a valid contract

Two things about this ‘NATO encroachment’ angle people like to bring up:
1. There was never an agreement that NATO cannot accept new members. Even Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, the person whom the agreement would have been made with, calls such a claim a myth.
2. One has to ask why countries want to join NATO. It is something they have to apply for, something they have to work for. Why do they want this security guarantee? Who are they afraid of?
It’s Russia. It’s Russia invading everyone around them that has pushed countries to join NATO. Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine have all been occupied by Russia. Is it a wonder why former Soviet states like Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania so badly want protection from Russian invasion?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Ukraine provoke Russia by building a dam?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
No problem, man! The annoying thing about disinformation is it spreads so easily. While attempting to tease out truth can take much, much more effort.

The biggest thing is teaching people how to be critical of what they hear and seek verification when something seems off. Problem is, once you get too far in, the truth is what seems off and it can take quite awhile to dig yourself back out, assuming you are even willing to try, which most aren’t.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Ukraine provoke Russia by building a dam?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
He is probably referring to the North Crimean Canal which fed water into Crimea. In 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine and occupied Crimea. Ukraine shut down the canal as they are under no obligation to provide water for crops in Russian occupied territory.

This canal was fed by water from Kakhovka Dam’s reservoir. However, Russia blew up this Ukrainian dam in 2023, which has since cut off all potential possibility to fill the canal.

In summary, Russia invaded Ukraine, fucked a bunch of shit up, killed a ton of people, and is trying to pin the blame on Ukraine.

This wouldn’t bother me if the creator could opt-in and users could opt-out. But, both are being forced into this. And I just hope in a year or two it doesn’t turn out Google fucked every classic video.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

modern cars are Internet-connected

This in itself is terrifying. It isn’t like they are going to provide security updates for your car for decades. Unplug that modem, no reason for your car to be exposed to the internet.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

I couldn’t believe that some companies would pay a quarter of a million for a server that is intentionally stunted/limited unless you pay even more.

Well, there is a reason AMD has been kicking ass in the server space lately. Mostly because Intel sat on their ass for awhile, but IBM scalping customers certainly provided a larger opening for AMD.
