the only time i think I ever interacted with targa files was with team fortress 2, and probably valve games in general

Dudewitbow,

Its because its not as simple as just freely supporting it. Frameworks CEO talks about it in a podcast on yhe idea if they fully went behind coreboot, the hardware release cycle would at least be a generation behind, and if youre a fledgling business whose main focus is environment, repair and upgradibility first, that would likely end in the bankruptcy of your business.

Dudewitbow,

It was an actual product, but not mass produced for consumer use. It was more or less leveraging, and a long winded advertisement for intels slot based pc system (where the cpu, storage, and memory subsystem would be on its own slottable device with its own heatsink) and the daughterboard is essentially a pcie riser for a gpu. ASUS(?) AND Coolermaster came along for the ride to complete said project.

In areas in eastern europe and russia, piracy is very common. Its the main reason why if you ever look at steam price charts by country, countries like russia and ukraine consistently place near or at the bottom for converted pricing, while countries like australlia get the short end of the stick

Dudewitbow,

millennials aren’t buying a rare earth gem that has its price and value artificially increased for maximum profits*

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Dudewitbow,

I didnt hate it, i just thought it was too predictable.

Dudewitbow,

People and their loose sleeves

Dudewitbow,

So was a launch ps3 not a console because you could install linux as an “OtherOS” before sony revoked thr feature?

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

Dudewitbow,

Saved in the cloud if youre a NSO subscriber* Aint paying for the sub? Tough luck kid.

Dudewitbow,

From a guy who processes thousands of devices in e-waate recycling, legit any refurb lenovo thinkpad/dell precision/hp elitebook laptop. People will stop using tech way before they should be stopped being practically used.

Imo i think thinkpads are better value(due to sheer volume in market) and they tend to have several options (normal laptop vs 2 in 1 vs slim laptop vs big screen vs one with a gpu in it)

I finally switched back to Linux as my daily driver after a couple of years of being on nothing but Windows.

I ran Manjaro Linux as my daily driver a few years ago but slowly phased it out for Windows for some reason, and I’m finally back using Linux (currently Linux Mint). I gotta say, I don’t know why I ever switched back to Windows. There’s just so much freedom Linux gives you right off the bat that Windows is just plain...

Dudewitbow,

Yhat sounds like youre looking for an OS in long term support mode. Not a good idea to use consumer OS for that purpose, as new features would always be added to retail operating systems.

Dudewitbow,

The result of marketing pushing base 10 numbers on an archiecture that is base 2. Fundamentally is caused by the difference of 10³ (1000) vs 2¹⁰ (1024).

Actual storage size of what you will buy is Amount = initial size * (1000/1024)^n where n is the power of 10^n for the magnitude (e.g kilo = 3, mega = 6, giga = 9, tera = 12)

Dudewitbow,

its correct, the final size you see in the OS is not kilo/giga/terabytes but kibi/gibi/tebibytes. the problem is less of the drive and more of how the OS displays the value. the OS CHOOSES to display it in base 2, but drives are sold in base 10, and what is given is actually correct. Windows, being the most used one, is the most guilty of starting the trend of naming what should be kibi/gibi/tebibytes as kilo/giga/terabytes. Essentially, 2 Tera Bytes ~= 1.82 Tebibytes. many OS’ display the latter but use the former naming

Dudewitbow,

Not a current user(but will be soon) but i read it as

Some Linux distro switches from one desktop environment to another. thr names are just 2 DE, and the name of the Distro version like how Apple names OSX after mountains.

Dudewitbow,

Because some people dont have the mindset of yhe biological(the scientific mindset) and culinary(the common mindset) seperate.

Tomato is common for it because its a fruit biologically and a vegetable culinarily.

Other examples of it in common practice is “berries”. Culinarily, strawberries and raspberries are berries, and bananas arent. Biologically its the opposite.

Dudewitbow,

You can choose to compress files on storage. If on linux. Or use tools like ConpactGUI to compress in windows 10/11.(not recommended to compress live service titles)

Part of the reason for the bulk of course is prerendered video and voice assets, especially if it has multiple voice options. Also non standardization of os level compression means you cannot send those conpressed files for users as not all users could use them if compressed using the methods mentioned above.

Dudewitbow,

It why i default sort to hot, and longterm browse by top 12H
