I'm not. But I wasn't using any of the LLM'S full stop so I guess that's not doing anything much differently.

I dunno. Perhaps because I don't play a lot of games with exorbitant amounts of achievements but for me in games like Hollow Knight they were sort of a roadmap. The thing is, you can just complete the ones you want. In my playthrough on the switch (where some of the achievements were just hidden), I didn't get the same sense of having checked something off my list as I did when playing on steam. It's almost like since nobody can really see them there's no joy in it. But on steam I felt more pride in those same achievements.

Are you the one we're meant to periodically touch?

Of course the main problem is their older hardware does a better job of gaming at around the same price point. The original legion go is on sale more often than it's not.

I wonder if the price increase is due to tariffs.

Not what I thought of when I read the words "date everything".

How's fractal? It comes up as a recommendation for Linux matrix a lot and I was wondering.

Just as I said. Perfect in every way. That's how you know. Couldn't bear to give him up. Say hi to Bob and Jack for me.

It's the tracking vs utility conundrum. At the start people kind of knew that Google was gathering their information in return for free services like Gmail etc. And those services were useful/didn't show significant drawbacks etc.

But with Microsoft (who historically have allowed local accounts since the start and have comparatively only recently required or pushed for a linked account), the detriments are evident to people who use their computers for more than just surfing the web and watching Netflix or Tik Tok. It rubs them the wrong way when they have to connect a computer to the Internet to even set it up.

Some people don't live in a place where internet is a standard. Others don't necessarily want to set up a computer for themselves but for their small business or their aging grandma or for their kid (who can't legally sign up for anything but a child's account and that's significantly locked down in ways that maybe the adult doesn't want to deal with).

Some people work in fields where they have a different threat model and don't want Microsoft or other companies siphoning up their private data. Some of them are still forced to use Microsoft products because of work etc.

The thing is though, people should have the choice when they are buying a product that will belong to them about what that product does and how it functions. And the vast majority of people who do want that choice are against this measure and measures like it.

I made my steam OS partition (Bazzite) the primary, created a new uefi boot partition for it (don't use the windows one, it's more hassle than help), and run a script to reboot into windows now. It works for me when I want to play a Windows only game.

Bob is perfect. 10/10.

You know. This sounds like some shit Terry Pratchett wrote about in "Making Money". Product is making money hand over fist, but never turns a profit so they sell it to themselves with its own money or something.

Sweeping Cyber Security Order (www.theregister.com)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

The sweeping directive, signed Thursday, covers a range of topics including securing federal communications networks against foreign snoops, issuing tougher sanctions for ransomware gangs, requiring software providers to develop more secure products, and using AI to boost America's cyber defense capabilities, among others.

 

"The uBlock Origin Lite add-on was also accused of collecting user data and running afoul of privacy concerns, which is one of the big reasons why people switch over to the Firefox browser in the first place. Hill [the developer] responded: “It takes only a few seconds for anyone who has even basic understanding of JavaScript to see the raised issues make no sense.”"
