Gotta love the marriage between tramatic brain injuries and an under funded education system.

I believe that a lot of issues lile this would be solved with legalized sex work and the destigmaization of mental health treatments.
I’d rather remain comfortable not buying games from Ubisoft and EA.
I refuse to waste a single dollar on every game from both companies, since we were all bent over and continue to get bent over because they just don’t care about anything but making more money.
A good example from Ubisoft is the handling of the Driver series. They kept on releasing the games in the series in a near unplayable state before when most people had dial up.
A good example with EA was the failed DRM with Spore. They only let you install the game 3 times, which glitched out to the point where people had to turn to piracy (warez and crackz) to play a game they paid for.
We vote with every dollar spent, which gives me hope when people rally around good companies that do the right thing.
You don’t need a custom ROM… That’s like lobotomizing someone because their laugh is annoying.
Search for the “side button” or “side key” to change the options.
That said, the screenshot command is what I remapped it to. This is so I can screenshot on the fly without having to do gang signs on my phone.
No way in hell I’d trust just one backup method for my data.
A 6 TB drive is less than $100 on Amazon and two cloud backups is like $30 extra a year.
This is exactly why I look at companies and corporations with a side-eye of doubt when they claim to have some sort of “do not be evil” motto baked into thier company culture.
It doesn’t matter if a gigantic company has a hundred philanthropy focused CEOs, all ot takes is one greedy or evil one to destroy a company’s dogma
After the investors, managers, and profiteers taste easy money, they will continue to demand to be fed that blood flavored stew.
Once that happens, they either need to be lobotomized or put down for the good of all lest those who are not in the know continue to put money into the frothing imitation it has become.
That is like saying that the screwdriver is the most over-rated tool in the tool box.
Each tool has a place and a usage. AI is just another tool in toolbox that is used to get things done.
I’m using my steam deck right now as a gaming PC while moving across America.
It works really well. I got a dock from Amazon that gives me the ports to plug in my gaming mouse and keyboard. I can do HDMI out to the hotel TV or, better yet, lead out one USB-c cord to a fantastic portable monitor.
I only ran into two minor issues. The first is getting enough juice to the steam deck and heat. Both can be easily solved with a good fast charging station and better air flow (I use this tiny hyper fan and have had zero issues in 90 degree Florida winter weather).
Of note, I dual boot with Windows 11. It’s a bloated mess of an operating system, but I want to use certain mods and programs that windows only. Plus, I’m not tied down to only steam games. The addition of being able to run nearly everything that’s Windows compatible takes the deck up a level, I feel.
The best way to get the most out of the Windows environment is to run a debloater admin tool, which removes unnecessary programs on Windows 10+ systems. The difference between the performance is shocking, making it pretty much required for usage. It’s not too hard to use, too.
The best part of it all is that you still have a stream deck at the end of the day. You don’t have to do any hardware mods. You can pick the deck up and walk out of the house and still have the gaming PC with you.
Everyone should be using the Facebook addon “Facebook Purity” if they are still using the platform. I’ve been using it for over a decade and I can’t stand using Facebook without it…
They are always a few steps ahead of Facebook and work well with other blockers.
Not only that, you can block specific parts of Facebook, not just the adverts. You can block the shorts, people you know, groups, keywords, and even whole topics.
You can change settings, like how you see your feed and it will stay changed.
Changing the font size, type, spacing in addition a bunch of color and night mode options are just icing on the cake.
In my professional opinion, it’s the only way of working with that platform is not harmful to one’s sanity.

Not only does it work better than most adblocks, but you can completely move, remove, and restyle features.

It’s too bad it’s not the US mint. It might help inflation.
Where’s Jeeves when we need him? I’d ask him but…
It wouldn’t shock me if they removed ublock origin from the chrome store
Unless it’s something that you are a super uber fan, avoid buying a game before it comes out.
It saves a lot of heartaches and headaches.
Plus, in today’s world… why pre order? It’s not like a game will run out of copies…
That’s the same reason I don’t complain about having to pay taxes for schools, even if I don’t have a child in school right now.
I did telecom work about 5 years ago
It was shocking the amount of area that depends on a low-quality copper wire infrastructure.
I don’t know if that changed in 5 years, but companies are going to have a hard time getting that replaced nationwide
What’s next? Company stores? They already have company housing…
Eventually Musk is going to have them buying ‘X cookies’ and ‘X cereal’ so that they don’t have to pay them real money.
I pretty much run everything through paypal for the extra layer of security.
It saved my ass when I was doxxed and hacked. I had my logins and financial information stolen.
I can totally see not putting more than a few thousand into the balance if you’re going to use it like a secured credit card.
Otherwise, keeping $0 in it and using it as a middle man between your bank and the outside world is a fantastic solution to protecting yourself.
That is a life changing program up there with 7zip, gimp, and notepad++
Its hard to find a better paid replacement
I can just about hear someone saying, “Do you know who I am?” or “Do you know who my father is?”
This situation just screams of the diabeetus-loving tomato sauce company bribing the local police.
