Why wouldn’t they try? They’ve done everything they could so far and face no repercussions, why not go ahead and try to be king? A few people will fret and tut-tut but if nobody is going to do anything it doesn’t amount to much.

Beehaw is a bit fragile. They’ll remove any comment they don’t like if it offends their current sensibilities.

$600 gets you 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. You can get better hardware for less.

Why care when we talk about desktops?

Because it’s $600 and velcroing an external HDD to a nice new sleek piece of hardware makes it look ugly. Typical Apple bullshit, I’m surprised they didn’t develop another proprietary connector.

Not uncommon at all to find religious BS in those little libraries. I haven’t come across any porn yet

Have fun buying your drugs IRL like it’s 1970 or something.

Yes yes because any time the government does something to help individuals instead of business it’s SoCiALiSm.

At the end of the day, everything is sales.

Yeah we have one for a building of 100+ people. I wonder how many we would’ve needed 50 years ago.

He says from his 7 month old acct.

And it supports competition against a locked down Windows-only gaming ecosystem that restricts Valve/Steams potential market. This is a great move for anyone interested in gaming or Linux.

But feel free to “ruin my career” after cutting me a check for $62m.

I was thinking more direct actions but sure we can try government regulation first.

Russia as well, lots of former soviet states. I used to talk to a Latvian maths student who was adamant it was the access to free/cheap higher education and poor job prospects.

Public shaming should include widespread boycotting and possibly more direct actions.

We’re in a thread about Rockstars invasive anti-cheat software so no, people can’t play what they want nor is this the place to tell people not to gatekeep.

Holy fuck I see some stupid takes posted here but this might be the stupidest.

Ah yeah just saw they specifically want to connect a VR headset wirelessly. I’m not real sure how to approach that either, if there’s any kind of port on the headset at all they could potentially adapt it to RJ45 but that defeats the whole point.

If a wireless connection is a must OP is just going to have to disable SSID broadcast, restrict it to certain MACs, and try to lock it down as much as possible and hope for the best. If they do it right it’ll won’t interfere with other devices and no one will ever know.

Yeah a simple little unmanaged switch would solve all these issues for about $20 and probably wouldn’t break the ToS.

Interesting instance.
