So. Many. Choices. Not sure I can pick one.

Something something about showing connections between points in a circle… the chocolate starfish of life.

Just depends on reactions. If no one says anything I just go with it. If 5+ people say something I fix it. If 1-5 people say something they’re probably outliers.

Many modern devices can “float” between 110-220v as well as 50 and 60Hz.

In practice, it means you don’t need older style, larger adapters which actually change the voltage and frequency for you. You can just use the cheaper adapters which only change the plug.

To be sure, just read the little print by the power area on whatever device(s) you’re bringing. The ranges will be listed.

Done it many times.

If When

FFFL (USBCA)

Firefox for life unless something better comes along

As a retro computing enthusiast, I have a lot of systems with little practical value.

Fun level through the roof though.

Ah, there it is. Boycott. Well yeah, ok.

Cyberpunk was always a shit show on console and fine on PC. I played on the latter from day 1, and it was a great game. But completely understand that the console situation was unacceptable and the need to show the company that by voting with one’s wallet.

Sauce?

Iirc, the original meaning of Word Processor required formatting, which Notepad doesn’t do.

But otherwise yeah, this is a non-story. No one uses Wordpad or wants to use Wordpad. Let’s focus on the egregious privacy concerns of Windows instead.

So you still haven’t bought it? You said 75.

My point is you picked an arbitrary number. :)

Ok. Witcher 3 is 8 years old.

CPUs though, since with those, AMD is much worse than Intel

Simply untrue with later AMD. Slight advantage to Intel, but not the blowout it used to be. Intel loses entirely if power consumption and cost is taken into account.

But of course, games rely largely on GPU power, and the CPU concern is generally secondary.

I mean, cool, but the game in its current state is definitely already worth the price at the 50% discount that is regularly seen, so it seems pretty arbitrary.

It’s technically sponsored by AMD, which is why you could can get it free with a processor or GPU upgrade.

Edit: could to can, the offer is open until October apparently

AMD folks are having a good time, but nvidia folks will need to wait. The game is purposefully not optimized for nvidia at the moment due to AMD sponsorship. (Also potentially to point out that many AAA titles tend to be optimized for nvidia but not AMD at launch)

It’s all very arbitrary and depends on the definition of computer for the individual.

Ultimately it does, I think, come down to practicality. Can I still use this thing to get what I need to do done, and can I still do it securely?

The security part can be more or less important depending on computer, as well. If you’re a Mac person, your machine may be obsolete as soon as Apple decides to stop giving you security updates. If you’re a Linux person, you can probably maintain a secure system easily on 10-15 year old hardware.

For me it would have definitely been an MS-DOS game. Exactly which one is harder to remember since I was a kid, but I do recall playing a lot of an educational game called Operation Neptune.

Retro computing. Programming things like a Commodore 64 in Assembly on the machine. It’s a wonderful experience and pretty removed from modern programming.
