I still use ublock and Firefox, adblock lets paid ads through. Ublock is GOAT and works on Firefox mobile.

Same.

It can. Some built in ad blockers like on brave will even skip YouTube ads.

That’s not the issue though, as long as my IP can teleport to a normal country, I can view whatever I want.

Also the fact no companies are ever held liable for losing all your personal info, I sure as hell don’t trust this, it can backfire at all.

Force a bunch of people to buy it now and never play it, adding to their collection of unplayed games. And to pocket money of past games again.

Oh shit, I didn’t even think it was jds, just thought it was wishful thinking.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 5 days ago:
I never saw a major performance difference, but being able to switch windows without the game possibly crashing is great. Especially in single player games, sometimes you just need to pause and check laundry, or check email. Alt tab and good to go.
That’s the benefit I use it for. Some games force minimize when you tab off and they can crash when you try to tab back to them.

No lol
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 5 days ago:
Some games minimize and try to lock your mouse to the game if you alt tab out. Windowed mode makes it pretty much seamless, pain free. No difference I ever found, just easier to alt tab out and check a map, take notes, pause and watch a video.

Alt tab out to other apps without the game freaking out due to display settings

- Comment on RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices 1 week ago:
It’s not that it’s excessive, that’s a lot of money to spend right now with the way things are.
- Comment on RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices 1 week ago:
Yeah, this is my point and experience too. 32 is better, I’d say 16 min. But people crying about needing 128 should rethink their priorities for gaming, were in a recession lol. Save your money.
- Comment on RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices 1 week ago:
I can never get people to understand this. I’ve got servers running on i7 8th gens, with stock 16GB ram. I could upgrade, but no need. People thinking they need 128GB to plays games are delusional.
- Comment on It's happened to me many times 1 week ago:
Dude, that sucks. A lot of shit happens as a kid you don’t realize was not normal until your brain develops. My kids friends would be able to come over as much as they like too, open door policy.
He’s also been told if he sees a kid at school not eating lunch to tell someone. Well send an extra lunch or extra money if necessary. This was long before this SNAP bullshit, been telling that since he started school.
Thinking of the shit some kids go through thinking it’s normal breaks my heart the fastest. Second is animals.
- Comment on What is the difference between a managed switch and an unmanaged switch? 1 week ago:
If you reset a managed one to vanilla unmanaged, at least set the admin password, don’t leave it default. Security 101.

I think people are more excited about an OS that doesn’t steal their data is is made for gaming. Bazzite is cool, but the steam deck has showed what a good OS can do for gaming. Fuck windows.

Growing up with Korn in HS and listening to them in your 40s is a completely different ballgame, not in a good way.

And you didn’t bother to look to see why. It doesn’t work on chrome, move to Firefox.

Same. It works crazily well for YouTube.

Me and my 11 year old just changed the rear shocks on my car, 18mm socket and wrench, 45 minutes of time. I’ll never buy a vehicle with these types of paywalls.

Go the steam route, make it as convenient as possible and people will be happy to give you money.

Had an apartment a while back, they changed owners and didn’t really tell anyone until I got a note on my door saying next months rent, due in a week, can’t be done online, needed to be cash check or money order or eviction process would start. What if I was out of the country or working remotely and didn’t get the note? No email, no call, just note on the door.
I threw a fucking fit, this was the last straw after a parking lot flooded with gravel, moldy laundry rooms, flooded apartment. Then threaten me with eviction because of their bullshit?
I wrote up my refusal to renew then, like 2 months into a new lease. Made them reimburse me for having to get a money order (don’t have checks), then began looking to buy. When renewal came up, they said I needed to renew and raised the prices. I referred them to my email and printout and told them to fuck themselves.

I knew we were fucked when dicks sporting goods had a paper printout saying they would finance your yeti cooler on the end cap with the coolers.
I now refuse to ever own a yeti product. GFs family has a few, I refuse. The 2 yeti cups i have were gifts. And a 3rd one we found at a thrift store for $4.
