Did x360 even have any exclusives? I think most games released for it came out on PC too, so you’ll have a way better experience playing them on a cheap 10yr old PC…

If they’re not willing to do something as simple as install an app to talk to you, then they were not likely very good friends to begin with (imo).
This argument is very susceptible to Uno reverso 😅

I find the bigger issue is critical mass: “why would I use an app that nobody else uses?” (when they say “nobody else” in this context they actually mean “not literally everyone else” 😅🙄)
- Comment on A new cooling technology freezes food without warming the climate 1 week ago:
In this case they just mean its not contributing to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
But it is possible to do cooling without heating the earths atmosphere, if you manage to yeet the heat into space somehow, e.g. Paint that reflects the heat as light that passes through the atmosphere into space: youtu.be/KDRnEm-B3AI

- Comment on What accent does this sound like? 3 weeks ago:
Could be: seems to wander between pronunciations from different accents, initially sounds American when he says “Wait”, then sounds sortof sounds Indian for a but after that before settling into a polish accent 😅
But I guess it might not be fake as I can imagine someone might pronounce some words differently if English is not thier first language and they learned some words from people with different accents…

It happens if there’s a lot of traffic from the same IP, happened to me when I first imported my subscriptions into smart tube on my tv after I cancelled YouTube premium when they jacked up the price. Was just a temporary ban though.

Might also depend on the model and if it does any sort of burn in protection processes such as pixel orbiting. My partner has been using a Samsung Odyssey G8 OLED for productivity about 4hrs a day for about the past 3 years and it doesn’t have any noticeable burn in yet(lots of other really annoying software UI issues though, because Samsung… 😅)

It’s basically just a synonym for any adapter cable, but usually more specifically, ones that have a short cable so they dangle from the port if they don’t have anything plugged in.
- Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 4 weeks ago:
Oh and another option could be to try to find emulators that run on mac, and maybe play some older games exclusive to a platform you didn’t previously own, or that you missed playing at thier time of release. Or buy an older second hand console that has games you haven’t played before…

Might be possible to run proton in a VM?:

Maybe try find some games that work on the mac?
There’s also this project trying to get linux in a vm to run games on a mac(and also trying to install Linux on a mac, but I assume it might break macOS since bootcamp isn’t a thing anymore):

(I haven’t tried it since I don’t own a mac, just happened to find it when another friend who does have a mac was asking for similar advice to you previously, but he didn’t end up trying it either)

noone wants to do because developers want the latest and greatest model.
That’s not true at all, the OS doesn’t have, and shouldn’t have, everything that a package has…
The alternative isn’t for the OS to do it: its to implement everything yourself… Speaking previous from experience working at a company that did exactly that… It has its own set of problems… But it is at least secure 😅
