Anecdotal doesn't mean made up

scottywh ,

Good. I fucking hate leaf blowers.

scottywh ,

Those have always been mostly unenforceable.

scottywh ,

That's just not correct.

scottywh ,

It's probably iPads but still...

scottywh ,

Yep... And they don't have the crippling student debt.

scottywh ,

Videos are a terrible way to communicate small amounts of information and these comments aren't super insightful so I guess I'll just move on.

scottywh ,

Which corporation's profits do you think banning TikTok is intended to protect?

Also, "boomer" is a specific group of people and applying that term to everyone who doesn't agree with you makes it pretty damn silly and meaningless.

scottywh ,

Oh fuck off ya prick.

If you weren't a fucking fetus maybe you'd be intelligent enough not to offend everyone you interact with.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

scottywh ,

Yeah... NT was hugely successful and it's been the core of every Microsoft OS for over 20 years.

scottywh ,

They're not, but I'd wager they are required in 90+% of US police cars.

scottywh ,

That was such a great show.

scottywh ,

You can absolutely configure it to allow exceptions for LAN so that you don't need to authenticate to their servers over the web.

scottywh ,

I charge all my shit to 100% with a fast charger, always have, and it all works great.

This "issue" is severely overblown.

scottywh ,

Far less frequently than most.

I'm rocking a Surface Pro 4 as my daily driver PC, for example.

scottywh ,

I personally believe Costco does suck but somehow a large number of people are blind to it.

scottywh ,

Adverse Possession often also requires paying taxes on the property.

scottywh ,

TikTok is utter trash all around but the music is the second worst part, closely behind the stupid ass fake voices.

scottywh ,

😂

scottywh ,

That's a little too dark for me...

Teeth are important

scottywh ,

Damn dude...

scottywh ,

Maybe I'm overly sympathetic with your friend as someone who was reckless in my youth and also lost a number of teeth...

That's rough is all I'm saying

Them mofos need to get a fuggin life

Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off (www.ign.com)

Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off::An executive at Assassin’s Creed maker Ubisoft has said gamers will need to get “comfortable” not owning their games before video game subscriptions truly take off.

scottywh , (edited )

I'll be perfectly honest.

I love and strongly prefer physical media games.

However, I also love Game Pass at least as a concept.

I've had it for several years now thanks to Live Gold conversion and VPN...

That said, regardless how much "value" it may provide, I will NEVER pay full price for it... I just don't feel like it's worth the price they're asking to me personally.

It's great for trying out the occasional game I'd never have bought or played otherwise though... And sometimes it introduces me to games that I feel like are worth buying that I hadn't heard of anywhere else.

For example, I bought Aragami 2 because I tried it on Game Pass and enjoyed it but I wasn't finished with it yet when rumors appeared that it was leaving the service.

I also played and thoroughly enjoyed Cocoon and High on Life thanks to Game Pass and feel like they're both worth buying at the right price.

I personally don't enjoy watching YouTubers and I rarely read reviews so I wouldn't have known much about most of those if I didn't have the chance to try them.

It's almost like it's replaced the demos that used to be so common but we can play the whole game now if we want.

Editing to add:

Also, fuck this Ubisoft exec... Subscription models should NEVER become the default way that we are expected to "consume" games (or any other entertainment really for that matter) and it's arrogant as hell for this prick to presume that we'll all just be okay with it.

scottywh ,

Damn... You're also commenting on a thread about shit going on in Georgia and separately about DRSing GME?

Maybe?!? 😂

He's a lawless, fascist murderer. (slrpnk.net)

after St. Louis police unions instructed officers to publicly display The Punisher's insignia (the mark of a lawless, fascist murderer) the comic book community was quick to point out the stupidity, and the frankly horrifying message sent by supposed peace officers endorsing a maniac. So it's a good thing The Punisher personally...

scottywh ,

"Tread harder, daddy!" seems more like it

scottywh ,

I'm a lifetime Plex pass subscriber and I've also used Kodi and Emby.. as far as I can remember at the moment I've never really looked into Jellyfin tho... Does it support OTA DVR with a tuner card like Plex?

That's my must have at this point.
