And that’s why I am in favour of abolishing the Nobel peace prize. It’s a clearly politically charged award that rewards an individual’s or group’s actions during a particular snapshot in time, which they then get to have as their accolades for the rest of their lives.

And yes, you could make that argument for every Nobel prize, but unlike rewarding peace efforts that the nominee could undermine or even undo the next day after receiving the award, you can’t un-invent a scientific breakthrough.

God, I hate how this is accurate on both accounts. Fucking dog whistles…

Yeah, I agree. Not sure why the west is so eager to shield Israel from their responsibilities, but Netanyahu and co should stand trial for their crimes against humanity. But so should Khamenei.

Agreed. I don’t care who gets tried in The Hague first though, so long as both get their lawful comeuppance.

This is the only sane take. Bombing hospitals is a war crime for a goddamn reason.

There is simply no excuse for this, both sides should be held liable for their war crimes.

Depends on your expectations. If you okay mainly eSports titles at 1080p it would’ve probably been quite sufficient still.

But I agree it’s a stretch as an all-rounder system in 2025. My 3090 is already showing signs of it’s age, a card that’s two generations older would certainly be struggling today.

And how, pray tell, is a “real” firearm going to help defend against the most technologically advanced army in the world, who can take you out from half a planet away without you ever seeing anyone until you are ginsu-bladed in half (reference: https://www.pcmag.com/news/us-used-drone-carrying-knife-missile-to-kill-al-qaeda-chief)?

We don’t need more firearms in personal hands when it comes to our national defence, we need alliances, a better standing army, and probably some form of nuclear deterrence. Thinking you’ll make any meaningful difference with your personal firearm and a couple of hours on the gun range is the exact same magical thinking 2FA nuts keep using while the US government takes their rights and freedoms away.

Yeah yeah, I blame autocorrect.

If your machine has a TPM chip, you can bypass the other requirements to upgrade to 11 with a simple registry edit. Not sure if that’s an option for you, but it saved parents’ older Surface device from the landfill.

If Bethesda handles SkyWind the same as SkyBlivion I am actually quite stoked to play a UE5 version of Morrowind…

Actual Microsoft rollout practices 🤣

I refuse to believe that tweet is real on principal, but it’s just tone deaf enough to have me question whether this might have actually been shat out by a corporate marketing team as part of some greenwashing effort.

If this is someone memeing however: Kudos, this one is very convincing despite being wildly ridiculous.

“Would you like your evil done in the traditional overt bombs-dropped-on-children fashion, or the new we’ll-sell-your-entire-life-to-the-highest-bidder-while-feeding-you-non-stop-lies-to-establish-a-fascist-regime style, sir?”

This guy: Bomb some kids, at least it’s a spectacle.

(Edit for clarification: I think both are bad, and one has a strong causal relationship with the other but I am not sure I would pick Raytheon personally. It’s a bit too overtly evil for my tastes)

It’s funny how Edge got lambasted for it when they introduced that feature, but it’s legitimately super helpful and non-invasive.

Thanks for sharing these gems. I can almost feel the exasperation in some of the emails and their replies.

What can they do? How about making the cellular models modular? 3G goes bust? Swap the modem for a 4G one next time the car is in for service.

That’s exciting - I’ll be keeping a close eye on this as it’s likely what will make me switch to Linux for gaming in the near future.

Thanks! Sounds like decent progress hady been made in this area already. I’ll keep an eye on this project so that when 24H2 drops I’ve got a way to avoid turning my headset into e-waste.

That sounds pretty promising. I know the headset camera-based controller tracking will be a pain to implement, but at least there’s some hope for people that plonked down 600+ bucks for these devices. Some, like me, just a month ahead of the eol announcement…
