Seconded. Have been running it on both my main desktop and laptop for five years with no issues.

Meh, I told myself I’d do it if I ever get disturbed by a call that isn’t important or interesting. Hasn’t happened yet.

Or it’s just the way they pronounce it, and want to give their cursing a bit of flavour.

Sounds like a win win. Maybe I should work on getting more flexible.

Wasn’t euronews bought up by one of Orbans buddies?

I’ve had shops that either accept PayPal, or a bank transfer that they’ll manually process when they get to it.

I’d argue that the problem with non-physical releases is mainly conservation, and software pirates seem to have that covered for PC releases.

Now if you wanna buy a game, DRM free is of course preferable. I buy as much as I can from gog, because I don’t want to blindly trust any corporation, regardless of their past record. After all, valve is set up in a way that gives them all the leverage.

I want to buy the whole of Switzerland.

Dunno, I suck at learning languages, gave up after English, and I only got passable at it after spending some time in Ireland. Maybe I’ll try Spanish some day.

I do, however, have a friend who just likes learning languages. He’s at his fifth now, and deciding between Polish and Czech. Some people are just language freaks, I guess.

Maybe they’re trying to learn Czech?

While valve has a lot of deserved goodwill, that’s always the problem - they’re well-behaved, but set up in a way in which the customer has no leverage if they where to change their approach tommorow.

Good thing drm-free games run just as well on the steam deck.

At the moment, LLMs just aren’t very good at writing anything that is interesting. I experimented with it a bit for shits and giggles, and tried out several different local Models and online Services.

I’m not saying that it’s impossible it’ll improve, but for me as someone who enjoys writing, having your writing done by a tool just misses the point. I like to write because it allows me to express myself, and off loading parts of that process to a tool makes it less personal, less me.

I won’t judge anyone with a different opinion, but for me, part of the enjoyment of reading also comes from seeing how the author and their experiences colour their writing, which usage of such a tool, in a way, also diminishes. At the moment, I just can’t see an avenue to the prevalence of LLMs making creative writing better.

That’s why I stopped using it. They require a phone number, phone numbers require kyc with an ID around here, and there’s just too much illegal shit on there.

It’s of course possible to get a more pseudonymous experience, but honestly, what they offer isn’t worth the hastle.

Is the VR streaming in the Local net (PC to Headset)? Just run the WiFi router without plugging it into the wall. Connect only the pc and the headset.

Also, appart from that, to use more wired devices, maybe use an unmanaged switch. Don’t think that does anything forbidden here.

Full disk encryption always seemed the most sensible to me, but I’m not sure whether that needs to be decrypted after hibernation.

That’s pretty much my ThinkPad’s Specs. Fine for almost all stuff I have to do on the go (expect CAD, don’t try to run BricsCAD on the thing, it’ll make you go crazy.)

I use full disk encryption on it, as on all my other devices, and it’s fine, speed-wise. The SSD is NVME, not SATA, but I doubt the performance impact would be noticeable on a SATA SSD if that’s what you’ve got.

Sorry OP, but this looks sad and horrid.

Like, it’s just Design. Different car makes and years have different design languages. Also, they usually have a big shiny logo that tells you the make, so you can go “huge Audi saloon” -> “A8”.

Whenever I’m in Munich, I see a lot of BMW test vehicles, with the new parts partially camouflaged. I never really liked them, but they’re getting worse really rapidly now. Their new SUV looks like it’s a cyberpunk parody of an overly aggressive car.

“Real” conversion therapy likely would have been damaging and more expensive. Also, that cash may have given anon some leverage to do things without his parents knowing, also a good thing in the situation described.

A bit of a scam, sure, but it’s not like “real” conversion therapy isn’t, while also inflicting trauma on the recipients.
