Age of consent in Germany is 14, if the partner is 21 or younger. Otherwise the age of consent is 16.

Always have my phone on vibrate unless I’m expecting a call that I really don’t want to miss. But I also don’t get called randomly that much.

- Comment on Anon's PC works 2 weeks ago:
Yea, a used PS5 disc edition here is like 400€ vs 500€ new. It’s not a huge difference but it’s noticeable. For 400€ you probably won’t get a decent gaming PC, let alone one that can match a PS5.
And what you’re saying is fair, if you start from scratch. 500€ PC + 500€ Console might as well be a 1000€ PC. However, if you already have a 10 year old PC (like GTX 970 class or similar), upgrading that to current gen spec isn’t gonna work but it’s still fine for a lot of older and less demanding games and for day to day stuff anyways. Makes replacing it a much harder sell, since you’ll be lucky to get 200€ back if you sold the old machine.
Not saying that this makes sense for everyone. I myself would rather scavenge used part deals on the web but that’s not viable for people without the technical knowledge.
- Comment on Anon's PC works 2 weeks ago:
If you don’t play online and have the patience to wait until you can get games used or deals, consoles can still be worth it.
I’m a PC gamer but the only games that I play online are in the realm of Minecraft, FallGuys, Raft or Stardew Valley which would run on almost any machine. I also don’t really play shooters or strategy games so there’s basically nothing I‘d need a mouse n keyboard for either.
I have even thought about just getting a PS or XBOX but I ended up upgrading my PC a little to near PS5 performance with a used cheap 5700xt for a little more than half the price of a new PS5. But if you can’t do that and would have to build sth from scratch, keeping your old PC and getting a console might be worth it. Even more so, now that you can get good deals on used current gen consoles.

Yea, for general computing a lot of older PCs are very manageable. I have an old 2008 unibody MacBook laying around that I had to use for a little while a few months ago and it was perfectly usable on mint. Even felt a lot better than a lot of newer machines since apple built them like tanks and their trackpads back then were so ahead of their time they easily beat out a lot of brand new machines.

- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Feature Denuvo & Account Linking + EULA also requires you to allow Ubisoft to "monitor" your RAM 1 month ago:
Well, they haven’t so far removed denuvo from a single game, even those that have been cracked already. Ubisoft is big enough, that they might have their very own deal with Denuvo

On hiatus, apparently. Hasn’t cracked anything since July 2023. Not sure why.
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Feature Denuvo & Account Linking + EULA also requires you to allow Ubisoft to "monitor" your RAM 1 month ago:
Thanks to denuvo and there currently not being any active group capable of cracking denuvo, it’s not a guarantee the game will be cracked. Assassin‘s creed mirage took until last month, over a year after release, for a pirated copy to be available and it uses a debug executable, which may not become available for any other games or at least not in a timely manner. It might not be possible to play those games without the BS. Or on Linux, if it doesn’t run without kernel access for RAM monitoring
- Comment on Microsoft have blocked their own Windows 11 update after it started breaking Ubisoft games 1 month ago:
Depends on the hardware. Intel Chips with big.LITTLE design (aka e-cores and p-cores) work better in 11 because its scheduler is built with core configurations in mind (unless a semi-recent update also brought that to 10. My information is not the newest. I replaced 11 with Linux pretty quickly)

- Comment on What your coffee preparation method says about you 2 months ago:
It does not. A regular percolator does, as it circulates the coffee back into the boiling water, unlike a moka pot, where the finished coffee does not sit at the bottom close to the heat, but in the top compartment. You should take it off the stove as soon as it’s done to avoid getting the finished coffee back to a boil or overextracting the coffee but if you do it right, they make really good coffee. There are even some versions that feature a valve, so the coffee is cooked at a higher pressure, getting it a little closer to espresso and producing a nice –albeit short lived – crema.

By units shipped it’s mediatek. Also, according to ARM, Qualcomm is in violation of their license. This is how they wanna make sure Qualcomm pays what ARM thinks they owe them, which seems fair, if they’re in the right.
You don’t need apple if you have two other megacorps bitching with each other.
- Comment on Ah yes, sue your best customer 2 months ago:
Their best customer would be mediatek though. Their chips aren’t as fast but they sell more of them and to ARM only the latter really matters.

- Comment on Cheeky 3 months ago:
Doesn’t matter which way you turn it, the result is the same. As you count it, your first hole is nostril to nostril. I count mouth to anus as hole one and then add the left and right nostrils as secondary and tertiary orifices. Having a nose ads two holes to the total count. If you had no nose, you‘d have one hole, if you only had a nose, you’d also only have one hole.
- Comment on Cheeky 3 months ago:
Nose is two. Your butt isn’t one. Or rather, your mouth and nostrils would be the entrance and your butt is the combined exit of those three holes. If you don’t count the nostrils, you only have one hole. A hole always goes through something, otherwise it’s just a cavity. And also, holes only count from one side. Your butt and mouth are the same hole, just from different ends.

No Problem with buying games that launch broken and get fixes later. I‘ll just get them once they’re fixed.
- Comment on Cheeky 3 months ago:
No, since you have a nose. Topologically, people have 3 holes.
- Comment on Massive generational gap: Gen Z flocks to multiplayer, while 55+ sticks to single-player 3 months ago:
Nah, they defs do. Just less. Also, the trend seems to go towards single player again, so maybe there’s hope for the future. Big multiplayer releases bombing is definitely a sign for devs, too.
