If you have any PC around the house you can install SteamOS or Bazzite or even LinuxTV onto a USB stick, boot into it and give it a go on your TV. Most streaming services can be “installed” as a browser shortcut on the home screen if there’s no app for it.

If you see it working for you and the fam is willing to learn how to use it, buy the steam machine or a small custom pc with better specs for the same money with SteamOS or whatever you like.

It manufactures billions short term for a few people, who don’t care about the shit storm they created. They’ll be sleeping like babies (or with babies, depends on the billionaire in question) while the rest of the world starves.

Arrest people on fake terrorist charges instead of disorderly conduct and they’ll immediately use violence against everyone because if you’re breaking the curfew you’re automatically guilty on sight.

Historically this hasn’t ended well for French governments specifically, but it works great in other countries, so Macron will gamble the far right to support him all the way through.

You’ll never guess Burry’s current companies he’s shorting lol

Elections in 3 weeks. Bibi’s bloc narrowly behind in polls, neither of the 2 sides can form a government on their own. It will be interesting if by some miracle it’s kept fair.

Bibi losing power and a US mid-term election win for democrats would give some hope to the Palestinians, but I SERIOUSLY doubt they’d change much.

Right wingers will just blame everything on immigrants and not the massive funds that have turned half the country into a hotel with zero oversight

A colleague barely managed to charge back 1500€ in time after falling for such a scam not two weeks ago.

Booking has not kept up with its own popularity.

Of course if China manages to spin major fab capacity of bleeding edge nodes off of this in the next few years they’ll have no use for US chips.

Couple that with the fabs being built in the US currently and Taiwan is losing a lot of strategic leverage…

The problem the US has is that they’re not adapting fast enough to the drone warfare present, because defense contracts are decided by a committee that’s just trying to line its own pockets.

They have a basically infinite budget though and they may be behind now, but they sure as shit know how bounce to the top quickly when it comes to inventing new ways to make others suffer.

The US armed forces will eventually get deployable drone swarms too big and advanced to either defend against or penetrate through with other drones, and the cat-mouse game continues.

God forbid they stop making aircraft carriers that can launch 30 hornets and start making ones that launch 100.000 rc fireworks from hell

There was less than 1 minute of actual Greek dialogue in the movie, so why bother? Just read the book in English.

I manage 40 and we had 2 issues that got resolved by uninstalling a different update.

Uninstalling it inexplicably nuked that machine’s print drivers and I had to reinstall those lol

At this rate countries are gonna group up and threaten a massive US embargo and just see what happens.

We really live in the most stupid time line imaginable.

Solar used to have a very high upfront cost and a very long ROI time, but for use cases such as this, where the power draw is predictable and relatively low, solar is a no-brainer nowadays, with the price of both the panels and the batteries being so much lower than it used to be.

US is not by any means as authoritarian as China.

To achieve that, the US would need a government that controls mass media, kills people just for protesting, disappearing enemies of the government in remote prison camps with no oversight or accountability, have mass surveillance everywhere, make books illegal, demonstrably suppress all ethnic minorities, threaten religious leaders for speaking ill of the government…

All run by a hardline government that has a strongman leader that people respect and a cabinet full of loyalists with competence in the task they’re assigned.

Once the US achieves that last bit, THEN they’ll be as authoritarian as China.

Great, now.i have to get a VPN to appear in Germany so that I can use the Firefox VPN

Germany sold some submarines to Greece that were leaning over on one side out the factory

If you want a specific variety of a plant that’s patented by, say, Monsanto, you don’t own the seeds you get but rather their permission to plant them.

If you re-plant seeds in your own field produced by the crops of the previous year on that same field they can sue you and they will win (see Bowman v. Monsanto Co.)

Iran “attacking its neighbors” is one way to phrase the fact they are hitting back towards US bases they are being attacked from and also towards Israel which itself has attacked basically every country it has borders with and several that it hasn’t.

I assume that’s the same way people felt like in 1980, when IBM released the world’s first >1GB hard drive.

It was as big as a fridge and cost $100k in today’s money to buy, for a whopping 2.5GB of storage.

My astrophotography projects are several GB each, my phone can shoot 4k RAW video that eats up 6GB a minute and it’s all hobby-level.

I wouldn’t mind if those 44TB drives became more affordable in a few years, I’m already saving up for a 24TB NAS.

They’re on china’s side against India, I don’t know that they’re that close as nations otherwise
