Just curious. Proton takes all of that effort out of the equation, plus I'm willing to bet there aren't as many driver problems, if there are any at all.
- Comment on Found this great deal on a new chair for my living room. Almost 50% off! 6 months ago:
My first thought is that this is meant for custom upholstery. If you're spending $1800 on a single chair, you're probably willing to shell out another grand or whatever to cover it in fabric that you like.

Because cars are a useful tool made up of physical parts that can wear out, while games are an entertainment product made of ever-changing software. You need a car. You don't need video games.

Discrete video or no. That’s also fine, but a lot of vendors provide this option.
Yeah, but not as a user-serviceable module that can be replaced with minimal effort. I think you're grossly oversimplifying this point.

Are you on Windows or Linux on the 16?

Apple doesn't provide board-level schematics so that anyone with a good supplier and a steady hand with a soldering iron can fix their motherboard, though. You also can't replace parts nearly as easily, even on older MacBooks. Swappable ports also help, so that if HDMI or displayport get replaced you can change to the new standard.
Accessing the RAM, wifi, and SSD are only 5 screws away, and they give you a screwdriver in the package.
Basically, Framework has provided so much information that you could practically build one from scratch yourself with enough determination and self-loathing.

It's the final laptop in the same way that Theseus's boat was the last one he ever bought. You can replace bits piecemeal, but at some point you'll end up with enough leftovers for a whole new laptop.
That said, I have an Intel one and it's a fantastic laptop. Also, not only are the motherboards capable of running on their own outside the laptop, but they've partnered with Cooler Master to make little cases for them so you can turn old mobos into mini PCs.

If 1000 satellites is all it takes to "erode the atmosphere" to a point where earth is uninhabitable, we're already fucked a thousand times over.
- Comment on How did we get humans on the moon in 1969 and are still struggling to get the Starship rocket to launch properly? 6 months ago:
To add on to what everyone else is saying, compared to the Apollo capsules, Starship is fucking HUGE. Apollo 11's capsule was 10 feet tall by 13 feet in diameter. Starship is 180 feet tall.

Yeah but at least our smugness isn't based off 30-year-old information, unlike yours.

In my experience, YouTube is almost universally shit for anything to do with software. I've stopped bothering trying to find any software YouTubers and rely on blogs instead.

IIRC it was specifically Civics made after a certain year. I wanna say 1994? Subaru is super big on the concept, too, though. It's actually where they got their name ("Subaru" apparently means "unity" in Japanese).

Yeah I never cared for him much before, but I also never cared about him much either. Now I actively despise him, which I guess is a form of successful marketing in that I'm still talking about him, but fuck it.

That's a fair point, but I've already seen what one uninformed, idiotic YouTuber (LTT) is capable of achieving by closing his eyes, putting his fingers in his ears, stamping his feet, and whipping his equally uninformed followers into a frenzy over an issue that was almost entirely his own fault. I fully expect such events to continue as Linux gains popularity.

Unpopular opinion: I'm concerned that widespread adoption of Linux would mean a reduction in functionality for power users. Considering that the majority of "regular user" effort seems to be going into gaming, I'm doubly concerned that the first major group to embrace Linux would be Gamers, a demographic I think is capable of doing untold damage to the ecosystem at large.
I'd probably move to FreeBSD if things got to that point.

BG3 runs more reliably on Linux for me, though my Windows install is getting old and crusty these days.

Yeah but they haven't been good since 2007. Fallout 3 was the last good Bethesda game.

This is already the case.

It certainly feels like it is, because the user base seems to be made up of exclusively the type of person from reddit that made me want to commit war crimes.

Stop advertising the site as a place to go when you get banned from reddit for being too insufferable even for them.
