Including an unredacted version of emails that had been leaked (which prompted this release) with the victim redacted. But you know, the reason they didn’t release anything else before was to protect the victims… until it’s better for Trump if they do.

I guess you’re not wrong, but we do see digital things disappear constantly and without warning. If no one backed up that data it’s gone forever.

Half life alyx was a solid game and I would expect valve to release another VR game for this things release. Even if not, there’s good stuff out nowadays.
Although I don’t get the motion sickness that people have mentioned so maybe I have more options.

The VR looks interesting. I had bought the HP reverb G2, but Microsoft pulled the plug on windows mixed reality, and I’ve since moved to Linux, so this might be a good replacement.

Sounds like you got it figured out bud. Tell them not us.

- Comment on Bewildered enthusiasts decry memory price increases of 100% or more — the AI RAM squeeze is finally starting to hit PC builders where it hurts 1 week ago:
At the moment, not much. I’m trying to learn more and more and do more and more, really it’s just that I paid for 64, but then the seller and I both fucked up and I’m still at 32 now, which bugs me. Then at that same exact time frame, the prices skyrocketed.
- Comment on Bewildered enthusiasts decry memory price increases of 100% or more — the AI RAM squeeze is finally starting to hit PC builders where it hurts 1 week ago:
At this point, I originally paid for 64 so I’m trying to get there out of principal, and I’d be there if I paid more attention.
I like to dick around with my nerd stuff and I did have the pc lock up because I used all of the 32gb ram, but I suspect 64 would’ve had the same issue in that particular instance.
In either case, my last pc buy was a decade ago, where 16GB was more than you’d need. If prices are reasonable again, getting myself to 64GB would just make sure I’m set for another decade, probably.

I thought so too, but after a few hours I gave up.

I’ll bet there is, but I gave it a solid few hours without really knowing what I was doing

This seems like an appropriate place for me to bitch:
2 months ago I bought a new pre-built pc. It should’ve had 64gb of ram but had 32gb. They said the sticks they used were out of stock so they gave me a credit for $100 USD. I spent the 100 on 32gb more of what I thought was the exact same ram. I fucked up and bought a slightly higher speed so they wouldn’t work together after I tried for an afternoon. I also checked the correct listing i should’ve bought but it was more expensive, at about $125.
I gave up and decided I’d just buy the faster ram again when it came back, rather than return it and get the correct one. It went out of stock in the time it took me to get my order so I figured I’d just wait.
2 MONTHS later, it never came back in stock but an almost identical pair, with slightly different timing, is in stock right now at $216. If i had any idea this was coming in just 2 months, I could’ve just bought 64gb at once and started fresh, or corrected my mistake by returning what I bought.
So i guess I’ll continue waiting, but hey at least notepad has copilot in it.

- Comment on If a girl asks you if you're big, are you supposed to lie or not? 4 weeks ago:
In the context of someone really asking, and not just joking around, yes you should be honest. Sounds like you’ll be on the path to showing them so don’t lie.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 4 weeks ago:
For me it’s everywhere. I still come to these things out of habit or because i don’t have energy for a regular hobby, but it’s getting draining. All of social media just brings me back to politics, even if funny memes are in between. I also have a habit of reading comments, and then some dingus brings the one non political thing back down to politics anyway.

nasty little grease machines
You mean the machine that is… an electric heater and a fan?
are processed garbage
Meat and cheese rolled into a tortilla? Just sounds to me like you’ve got some kind of grudge against these things.

Even that little blur effect people use to get rid of watermarks, sure it’s sora but it could as easily just be a tiktok username, which people remove all the time. So the people who want to believe it, will.

I am judging a book by it’s cover here, but they said they’re not tech savvy, and asked the question in the post, so my assumption is that they themselves do not own one.
- Comment on Can you please help me pick a gaming desktop for my son that can run Monster Hunter Wilds? 1 month ago:
Yeah but a while back they capped your monthly hours for the paid tiers to 100 (i think you pay to keep streaming after). I was easily averaging 3 hours a day as a kid, especially with weekends and summer vacations.
- Comment on Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension 1 month ago:
On one hand, could be a “crash”. On the other hand, tons of websites break when they get a little extra traffic.
Side tangent, seems odd to me this is still a thing. Most company websites aren’t hosted on premises, so do these services like (i assume) AWS not scale for when there’s traffic? Squarespace has been advertising for years that it will scale up if there’s extra traffic. I’ve never tested it but still.
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 2 months ago:
What would you call someone with the beliefs that they’ve mentioned then? I agree, I don’t know of a current “conservative” political group/party that follows that idea anymore but what word better explains how they actually want things?

The gist of it is thicker skin, stronger immune system presence down there, higher blood flow down there.

They’re probably just overall frustrated with the country. Somehow though “stupid politics” means go ahead and insult and generalize the people for random and inaccurate things like not using a bidet.
- Comment on How to relax and most importantly stop thinking about the things i could be doing? 2 months ago:
Why did you start working on these other projects? For fun? To learn? Are they still fulfilling that purpose if you’re burnt out? If not, what are you losing out on by not working on them? If it was for fun, then that’s over for now, go do something else for fun.

Thank you.
By the way, people are able to remove that blur in photos nowadays fairly accurately. I would just cover it with plain white or black in the future.
