Thing is, at the scale that a home server is likely to be providing, you don’t really need an upgrade at all for any of the components except storage and maybe a 2.5gig ethernet card depending on services available.
Also, like the other commenter said: SSDs. SATA ones (unless you have free PCIE lanes then use an m.sata adapter board).

For a personal server, just buy a liquidated office/business workstation and add storage as needed. Probably will still be cheap since the win10 EOL has lead a bunch of those machines onto auction sites.

From “EV conversion kits” to “offline conversion kits”.

Depends on what state you’re in, but yeah. Sometimes stuff like GTA might as well be a documentary for how people react here XD

You can using the steam beta builds feature. I believe it’s the earliest one.

That’s a self-inflicted wound brother. It’s like playing a leaked copy of a game before release.

Tbf the only broken multiplayer is on the opt in unstable branch. It’s not like b41 mp vanished.

…and multiplayer, overhauled animations, 3d models, new textures, and mods galore :)

In that case, I guess that potential vector is moot. Although it could be that data wasn’t available until recent training of the weights.

Unfortunately it’s not that simple. At least that’s the message I got from reading Librewolf’s documentation out of curiosity.

WaterFox is just Firefox without the Mozilla parts people don’t like (AI, sponsored content, telemetry). It is not as hardened as Librewolf, which can break sites with it’s anti-fingerprinting techniques. It’s a perfect browser for casual use (and widest compatibility).

Not necessarily color theory, but archived comics from the 1970s and prior tend to be yellowed due to time in their original prints (which were then scanned). It could also be the colors available to print artists at the time which were more muted compared to today.
- Comment on The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago 1 week ago:
It’s gotten better thanks to the softmods coming out lately like BadUpdate and BadAvatar.
I remember reading and watching videos about the DVD firmware hax. C4Eva, right?

Ah in terms of the Steam inventory API, it’s completely unregulated. All purchases are steam platform only, but trades between players are unmonitored (with the exception of requiring both sides to authenticate the trade).
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Unlikely? There are 3rd party websites that allow liquidation, but that’s all outside of Valve’s sites. The closest you can get to liquidation officially is buying Valve hardware like a Steam Deck with your store credit, but they don’t ship steam hardware to russia.

That’s funny because they did send 360s to the troops in Iraq (and later Afghanistan).
- Comment on The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago 1 week ago:
I was on PS3 :) I loved Uncharted, Motorstorm, and Little Big Planet, but I was super jealous of my friends who had 360s for a while.
- Comment on The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago 1 week ago:
The “Bad Update” (Now bad avatar) exploit is now a viable softmod for all models of the 360, so it’s probably worth getting a cheap one on ebay and modding it for homebrew and free games lol

Deadrising runs great on PC tho - played it on my Steam Deck
- Comment on The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago 1 week ago:
Just look at the Xbox section. You got this :)

It’s not showing on my client either, hopefully they edit their comment.

They started their business in there a while ago (I believe they were the first online distributor who managed to succeed in the Russian market, despite media fears of mass piracy), and I would imagine that revoking all of the users’ Steam Libraries wouldn’t be a popular move, or terminating all their accounts.
I’m not sure why they continued purchases after 2022 though. Maybe their Eastern Europe payment processor doesn’t ask too many questions?
- Comment on I dunno 1 week ago:
When I made my example, I used an algebraic expression, but yeah, the original question was arithmetic, sorry. Not very good at explaining things XD
- Comment on I dunno 1 week ago:
Fair enough, I’ve heard “math problem” and “math equation” used interchangeably.
Also you would be surprised how many people do not know basic algebra, at least in the US rofl
- Comment on Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing 1 week ago:
It’s a half-measure, kind of like using a VPN. The problem with using your preferred browser is that it’s not designed to prevent any identifying leaks, so you could be fingerprinted at basically any time and your efforts will have been for nothing. Also, if you’re using an insecure OS (like the version of android that comes preinstalled with your phone), that’ll prevent its effectiveness full stop.
For situations like those, you aren’t really using Orbot (or any VPN-esque solution) for genuine privacy. Those tools are useful for Utility (circumventing region blocks, ISP filters, IP blocks, so on), and Plausible Deniability (Piracy, usually through torrenting). If what you seek falls into those two categories, good for you, but true privacy has to be achieves through something like Tails or a secure OS with Tor Browser, sorry.

Technically roots are a form of exponent, just fractional (square root is power of 1/2, for instance). I can see how it could be easier to conceptualize when you break it down like that though. Neat to see the differences compared to the US breakdown :)
- Comment on I dunno 1 week ago:
Some forms of programming syntax, although there are the fringe cases where an equation is represented by a symbol in conjunction with a parentheses input.
For example:
y(x) = 2x+3
5+y(1) = 10, as 1 is substituted in for x in the prior equation.
- Comment on I dunno 1 week ago:
Presuming PEMDAS is our order of operations and the 5 next to the parentheses indicates multiplication…
2+5(8-5) -> 2+5(3) -> 2+15=17
Other than adding a multiplication indicator next to parentheses for clarification (I believe it’s * for programming and text chat purposes, a miniature “x” or dot for pen and paper/traditional calculators), this seems fine, yeah.
…I worry about how many people may not understand solving equations like these.
