A laptop with no redeeming features.

The logical assumption would be that such a system would need to detect a face for the car to start.

I want my next car to be an ev… but with manual window winders

Sony and Microsoft say bad luck we are doing it anyway, and we know you will still buy our consoles.

Possible, but “texas” “left” “chinese propaganda” …given another paragraph I would have expected you to start selling trump bibles

An elon musk thing, trustworthy guy, clearly interested in the greater good, what could go wrong /s

Streaming always seemed like a daft idea to me, part of that no doubt is using the internet back when it was dial up and it made no sense to even wait for a picture to load, but streaming always seemed likely to lead to control issues, which is why so many people are (appropriately) whining about subscriptions and dodgy companies now.

The media I download is generally just deliberately 1080p, mainly watched on a 50" tv. I rarely have any quality issues with it, but I am not chasing numbers, and apparently I am not particularly fussy either.

I’m reminded of when dvds were first appearing and they used to market them on vhs, stating ‘this is how amazing this looks on dvd’ …but they were showing it on vhs. People still got excited though… weird creatures.

Unless you are benchmarking, or chasing numbers, posing, or using over the top infrastructure (super large tv, projector etc) there is an easily reached quality point that is more than good enough for most people.

proton is greenwashing for those interested in privacy.

I was previously a customer, walked away from a 2 year subscription that still had about 18 months left on it.

It sounds like you don’t know what the left is, you are clearly from the USA, the democrats are right wing, marketed as left, you live in a duopoly con.

“Chinese propaganda” …no wonder the USA is such a toilet bowl, you zombies so eagerly buy into your own racist propaganda.

Interesting, not something i have heard of before, but definitely something I need to look into.

I emulate older console games, and assume there is the possibility that they are all I will be able to access one day.

That is the real issue. Physical media is just a waste of resources, we should be past that by now.

How to collect downvotes: Post any criticism of steam, whether valid, or not.

How to collect upvotes: Brag about how many games you have purchased from steam, but have never played, because being a consumerist zombie is hella cool.

Can’t wait until trash corps start selling implants to zombie consumers, and then start f*cking around with the subscription model.

That should be more than long enough to get past the attention span of sony customers

Prior to one of mullvads ceo’s being outed as a nazi, they didn’t appear to have anything wrong with them at all. Good history, policies, and software. ivpn and airvpn appear to be the only other legitimate choices to me, especially is you are northern hemisphere and a windows user, as most people are. Southern hemisphere and linux it is a bit trickier.

Assuming the top graph is accurate, it says a lot more about the reality, at least as far as steam ‘data’ is concerned https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/

The ‘issue’ is not a “dip” in June, the issue is the May data/variance, as well as the April data/variance. June appears normal.

surfshark (apparently) having tracking was enough to make me not bother looking much further into them. With so many choices, the easiest way is to omit those who seem problematic (kape, 87% off!!!, logs, tracking etc)

I doubt you could even start a car.

“Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand”

Congratulations on the syllables though, keep up the good work there.

You did respond.

Being homeschooled in a cult has limited your anthropological and historical knowledge to an absurdly low level, to the point that I am surprised you are aware of electricity at all.
