Does anyone still work at Xbox anymore

Does it do anything that Lutris doesn’t? I usually download gog installers for both Linux and windows games (often from my phone and rsync it across to PC) and use them interchangeably on Linux with Lutris and you don’t even notice a difference once it’s installed.

So the same thing with physical, the shop could be told to stop selling and distributing it.

Also don’t gog usually only stop sales rather than distribution from existing purchases?

I have bought a game on gog, how can the publisher revoke that game from me now that I have it?

Not aware of any games on gog that are always online

Do any games on GoG exist that can be killed by a publisher?

Hey, wanna join me on my illegal Minecraft server?

Well let’s start with how much you need.

Then we can all cry. Currently looking at replacing HDDs with SSDs and significantly cutting down on my data storage requirements - basically uninstalling all those games I haven’t played in a long time and probably won’t. Plus it’s easier to avoid getting sucked into playing ESO and wasting money on it if it’s behind a 100+ GB download. Majority of games I actually play are under 5GB so I could go pretty heavy. Couple second hand 512GB SSDs perhaps? Under £100…

I don’t use them, work me uses them and I am getting paid in that case so who cares that it’s terrible

After walking through CEX on the weekend I don’t know if you will beat second hand laptop pricing. The significantly higher availability of laptops seems to make them prices that just can’t be beaten.

Unless you can get away running a pi zero of course. Sorta tempted to get one but not sure how much I could get it to do. Would do data storage just fine, depending on how much space you need.

And the result of those shit tools is their problem.

That is a problem for my employer rather than me.

You don’t have to use electron crapps.

I wonder how it will compare over time, will the overall performance you can get per hour of labour in wages go up or down?

If a high end PC costs twice as much, wages only go up 50%, but high end PCs are twice as powerful. You are still getting more performance for your work. But if performance and wages barely change while costs rise significantly, now performance for labour has actually dropped. Generally more interested in how it compares over longer time frames rather than month to month spikes.

So TLDR is you are cooling the hot side of it with water and then that water goes through the pipes underground. As its even hotter you are going to lose more temp to the ground - realistically you wouldn’t even have to go as deep for something like this surely? Though you do want a decent surface area for all the pipe.

I did have this sort of thought a while back, but I was thinking of getting a water source heat pump instead and found not many options. Modifying a cheap unit may not be too hard, shitloads of silicone around as much of the hot part as possible.

Haven’t got one yet but have been thinking of getting a rash vest, it’s more for surfing/water sports though. Not sure what the material is like for daily wear. They usually have SPF ratings though so it would work for that.

I don’t need to buy a more powerful PC if I don’t want to. I could game on 2GB just fine. I game on 32GB because when I bought it I could afford it and wanted to, but it isn’t a hard requirement. Still running an RTX2070 and see no reason to upgrade, when it dies the lowest spec GPU will probably be an upgrade.

At this rate I suspect by 2035 I will be running a pi zero 3/4 as my main PC.

Surely if the bubble pops then micron are doing great as the deals are already agreed, but that RAM won’t be worth what companies paid for it either. What would they do with it, try and sell it off to recover some of the cost of the RAM they no longer need?

Probably reasonable, it is going to vary by game a lot. Some will easily and others not a chance. Got an old 2011 laptop that would output 4k 60FPS if it was capable of outputting 4k… Actually could probably SSH onto it from something else with a 4k screen. What FPS does a terminal get?

A few meters down is a lot to dig with a spade compared to 50cm which is still quite a bit of digging really.

I do wonder what kind of temperature the water in a pond would be and if I could use that to dump heat into from my house.

Time to do some crime. Let’s go to a remote location. Turns router on, does crimes, turns it off. Goes home.

Humidity is 60-80% here today. At least there is a little bit of wind right now.

mmm mould spores. I live in the UK where its way too humid to consider trying this inside. Pumping water through silicone pipes around my legs and a reservoir with an ice bottle in it did an alright job to help cool off after exercise though. Not sure how sustainable it would be to run long term, think I need another source of cool.

I have wondered how cool the ground is if you dug down 50cm or so and put the pipes there to cool down. But at that point I would be using a huge amount of pipes to get it anywhere with no idea if it would even work very well.

If it’s a new country then it doesn’t have a long history.

Even the English, good old civil wars!

But what European country with a long history hasn’t been at war with at least a few neighbours?

Is Scottish the first one people go to for European peasant?

So it’s easy to find me living at home doing nothing, and hard to track a determined criminal who would just move it when doing crimes?

I can pay for internet in cash and the only details I gave them are fake and a random username. 4G internet isn’t even tied to the same location as I can move freely.

Let them waste their time investigating, actually how do they even know your address?

Running an exit node is perfectly legal though. There would be no evidence you have done anything wrong very quickly.
