It really is a big move, since it likely cost them millions in early sales.

I probably would have bought it already if I couldn’t find a crack, but now I can pirate and wait for a nice sale.

I’m sure I’m not the only one.

You can just click the checkbox for “Copy crack to install directory” to get the installer to do everything for you.

I’m not sure why that isn’t the default.

Do you keep the game if you get the “Deluxe Upgrade” on GamePass? Or do you have to keep paying the subscription if you want to play?

Which GPU did you get?

And also, the “early access” is just a way to get people to pay more for the game in the first week.

By all reasonable standards, the game has been fully released.

“Pre-ordering piracy”… What does that even mean?

I don’t know why you’d want to rent the game if you’ve already got the cracked copy, but I would be surprised if the save files were any different between the two platforms.

Plex shares (I actually use an Emby share) are what streaming should have been after cable.

It’s the perfect service, everything all in one spot for a reasonable fee.

I’d pay up to $100 a month for that legally, but instead the studios want to bleed me dry.

So they get nothing.

Way differently.

Soldered RAM is much much closer to the CPU, and so the time it takes for signals to propagate back and forth is significantly reduced…

You’re getting heavily downvoted by people who obviously don’t understand how RAM works. Or how computers work?

Guys, Apple is shitty, we all know this, but onboard RAM is the least of their anti-consumer practices.

The problem with socketed RAM is the length of the traces going back to the CPU. That 100% reduces performance (and battery life) by a significant amount. Especially when using that socketed RAM as iGPU VRAM.

Dell’s CAMM standard reduces the latency compared to SODIMM, for socketed RAM, but what we really need is for someone like Apple to invest R&D into really tiny RAM sockets that are super close to the CPU, instead of researching ways to lock users out.

I converted one of these Chromebooks to Linux as a test project and the results were, not good.

To start, they have a bootloader lock screw under the motherboard, so you have to take the entire laptop apart to load anything but unsupported ChromeOS.

Then you have to use a Google tool, can’t remember the specific one, to swap the bootloader. That might be possible to automate but I didn’t look into it because…

… The hardware sucks. We’re talking like 4GB of storage on a lot of these Chromebooks. The driver support is all over the place, and there are issues everywhere even on “supported” distros.

With the vast amount of junk Chromebooks out there, I’m sure community hospice support will get better, but it’s never going to be an easy bulk conversion because of how common the bootloader locks are.

The guy above definitely could have left the politics out of that comment, since there’s nothing more bipartisan than rich people fucking the working class.

I’ve been wondering why this isn’t talked about more.

All those commercial mortgages are intertwined with banks, and retirement accounts, and all sorts of “stable” investments.

Plus it’s not just the offices directly affected by pandemic remote work that aren’t renewing their leases. New companies wont lease a building since it’s not expected anymore, and big companies will be counting the beans to see how much they can save by reducing office space.

This is a phase shift in commercial real estate that I don’t think banks have budgeted for.

I’m sure everyone on wall street knows it’s coming, but if they can act surprised and get another bailout in a major crash, that’s just going to cost you and me our futures, again.
