I tried it about 2 years ago and it was a fucking omnishambles on Linux. I presume it has improved since then…

I guess the point is that its complexity is overrated, but still definitely not ‘simple’.

It’s literally a marketing term for a bunch of structured algorithms at this stage - not some sentient witchcraft

iPad / tablet, and applying for jobs can easily be done on a phone.

The main issue to solve is kids not having access to a computer at home, whether it be lack of incentive or money. Most people don’t even own a laptop anymore, so the only computer time they get is in a school setting.
Once the majority of schools have a system in place for most homework to be done on a PC, then there may be some creative ways to incentivise more PC adoption… again. It’s like we’ve gone back to the early 90s again where only kids who were really interested in computing knew anything about it.
- Comment on How Disney and Warner Bros. Are Causing Internet Piracy to Boom | Platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ were supposed to do away with pirated media. Instead, they may make them stronger than ever. 10 months ago:
It’s not just quality compared with UHD rips, it’s things like prime video refusing to play anything except 480p on a web browser… WTF?

The issue is down to performance, Nvidia performs a LOT better with comparable GPUs between them

A fix that worked for me on Cyberpunk dropping in performance after that patch - turn everything to low, restart the game, then change settings back to what they were.

If you want to do any game streaming though (e.g. on Sunshine/moonlight), Nvidia is still miles ahead.

It’s mostly this unless you got to a popular server on a linux channel. I did that recently from windows 3.1, and it was just like the good old days

Holy shit. Just found my profile that had stuff there from when I was 14… I’m nearly 32 now. Wild …
- Comment on HP printer USB port covered with warning sticker in hopes you won't use it | Boing Boing 1 year ago:
That’s in the US, but to be fair I’m comparing the cheapest 3-in-1 brother to the my 3-in-1 HP printer. So £178 vs £50, 3x more. That’s forgetting the fact that I’d no longer be able to print in colour. I do understand that if I printed more often a laser would absolutely be cheaper.

Think I’ve bought 4 cartridges since getting mine six years ago, so about £120. £20 a year isn’t bad… We don’t print much, but getting a laser mono is 5x the cost of our printer for the cheapest brother…
