Because tariffs are crude pieces of legislation. The US can’t make their own phones anyway, even with 1000% china tariffs, for years. You can’t just click your fingers and have manufacturing at that scale and quality exist.

Wow okay I will try that!

Thanks mate, same. I struggled to find people talking about it online. To be honest it’s not a terrible problem for me. Use Bluetooth most of the time.

The prices I’m seeing people trying to flog their 6th gen i3, RTX 960 computers on Facebook marketplace beg to differ. Absolute dreamers in the used market for tech.

A moissanite is an artificial diamond, Lincoln. It’s Mickey Mouse, mate. Spurious. Not genuine. And it’s worth… FUCK all.

I can’t help but I just wanted to say that I’m also having headphone issues after putting my old 2280 NVME into my OLED from LCD deck.

When I plug in headphones it’s fine. But if I unplug then plugh back in again? Crackling in the background constantly. Reboot fixes it. No idea why.

If you really wouldn’t want a coworker seeing it, it’s NSFW I would say. Personally I think someone even seeing a forum that looks like Reddit open on your work computer is a bit NSFW, but that’s what the tag is for.

I use TrueNAS SCALE at home on my NAS and since they ditched kubernetes (and Truecharts, which was a happy little accident) it’s been great.

It’s free.

New hardware is incorporated into the kernel reasonably regularly IMO.

ZFS file system

Pretty easy to control with GUI exclusively

Docker is now very easy to use, images are community supported mostly but I’ve not had issues with Jellyfin, *arr, pihole, reverse proxy etc.

I wonder what the percent market share is that desktop Linux needs in order to be enough for devs to implement a Linux-friendly anti-cheat

I played it earlier this year after having played the first 2 only (and that was 10-15 years ago). Infinite is a good game, graphics hold up beautifully. I wouldn’t say it’s one of the greatest of all time but it was a very good game regardless.

Probably there was a hype cycle at the time of its release that I wasn’t aware of, as that’s the only way I see it as being regarded as meh.

Honestly it’s just more Bioshock, but set in the clouds rather than underwater, I liked the change of style.

So many good answers here. Not patient gaming, but Clair Obscur this year absolutely killed it with the soundtrack.

Patient games:

All Nobuo Ouematsu Final Fantasy games.

Fable

The Elder Scrolls Games

Doom 2016/eternal

Cyberpunk

Divinity Orginal Sin 2

Cuphead

I can see a troll post coming: “Sleep Token is not new age indie electro pop, and saying so is not “gatekeeping”.”

Doesn’t really matter if it’s metal or not to me. I’d rather artists make stuff that they want to make. Otherwise all we’re left with is the most generic metal/other genres that have to sound like everything else in the genre.

Surely that’s a worse future for music.

Thanks, couldn’t have said it better myself.

To add, there’s so much overlap in musical techniques. If you hear half or double time drum changes in an electronic song the metal listener might think “oh this is a metal influence” while the jazz fan will say “oh nice, reminds me of double time swing in jazz”.

The influence might have come to the artist from one genre or the other, but the listener decides what it reminds them of.

Arguing about what is and isn’t a genre is a bit pointless at the end of the day. Music is an evolving art form and bands can borrow from this that or the other genres to create an original sound.

This band clearly has some aspects of their sound that is idiomatic of metal, as well as a bunch of stuff that doesn’t sound like metal.

It’s fair of someone to call them a metal band if that’s what they hear and connect to in the music.

I don’t know why sometimes you have to do one and other times you have to do a lot of them.

Darn after doing 30 captcha tests there was an error.

RIP climate targets

Join a choir. The ratio of men to women is very favourable and you’re showing a musical/sensitive side that is generally appealing.

We’ll be waiting a year just for the PC release. I honestly don’t mind. Playing a fully patched game is generally worth waiting for as well.

Absolutely crazy.
