I don’t think he actually plays games anymore. He just says x company/person is finished and here’s why. It’s usually a really bad take.

Ah okay. I saw it on Steam listed as just MS Flight Simulator. Assumed it was the latest one.

I read the download size is like 150GB. That’s why I didn’t buy it on sale.

Did you use your laptop on a bed at any point?

Misanthropist.

I used to use Ubuntu years ago. The beauty of that distro is that it will fuck itself up. No action required on your part. Versions after 16 would black screen themselves after an upgrade, or the mouse pointer would go on vacation. Even better, it would say your 100% correct password was incorrect and lock you out.

You’re not really any worse off with something like Arch, aside from the initial install. Overall, less headaches for me.

Same. Even back then, as soon as Oasis hit the radios I couldn’t stand it. Then there was the people who would get hammered and yell it at the top of their lungs completely out of tune at 4 in the morning. Scumbag anthem. Oh yeah, there was also this guy https://youtu.be/NTfZshkNZRw

You can get “android on a stick” computers and sideload some de-googled stuff. They plug right into the USB port of some smart tvs. You might be able to hack an Amazon Firestick too.

It doesn’t really. I won’t give a whole course on DNS and network stuff, but basically it has zero effect on your download and upload speeds.

DNS is like a phone book. You type Wikipedia.org and DNS translates that to an address like 200.92.36.68

When you download stuff, that’s not going through the Pi at all. So there’s no negative effects.

I use one too, but it doesn’t block certain things like YouTube’s embedded adverts. Also use uBlock Origin.

Step 1) Get a raspberry pi. Step 2) Open terminal and paste: curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash Step 3) Point your DNS to the raspberry pi’s IP address.

My personal reason, I looked at their code and it was amateur town. Hacked together trash. There’s a proper way to modify Chromium and they didn’t follow any of it. In contrast, Vivaldi’s coders knew what they were doing. I don’t actively use or support Chrome, but if you’re going to do something, do it right.

I just wanted a distro built to my specs, up to date, uses pacman, not run by a for-profit company, with good documentation. The hype is mostly Reddit elitism and gatekeeping. I like that nobody has slipped branding and extra bookmarks into my browser.

There was more than one incident. There’s a whole list of incidents.

You could probably run Linux on a binary abacus. https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bbinary_Abacus_002.jpg

In the case of the soldiers in Iraq, China had installed an independent chip specifically for keylogging. I don’t know if replacing the boot loader would even solve that.

They had a Chinese back door in the firmware. Don’t know if that’s still the case. https://www.techworm.net/2015/08/lenovo-pcs-and-laptops-seem-to-have-a-bios-level-backdoor.html They’ve had several major (intentional) security flaws over the years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenovo They had a modified UEFI that allows insecure execution of EXEs. The Lenovo laptops given to US military in Iraq had keyloggers that sent all inputs back to China.

Programmers I’ve worked with all prefer MacBooks. And yes, you can run Linux on a Mac too.

True. I use arch btw
