If you kept it long enough… The last update made it unusably slow, was the only phone I ever destroyed and sent for recycling as there was no way I could sell that thing to someone.

Also last Samsung phone I ever bought for that reason. Actually could be the last Samsung anything I nought come to think of it

I already run Linux for everything else. Its not an option for my CAD work unfortunately

Yeah I was just pointing out the insanity of their pricing, using sarcasm. Its the main way we communicate over here.

The price difference between the first 2 models where 8gb ram is the only change, is £200. Post 2025 I’m going to need some solution to replace my windows install which solely runs CAD/CAM software. If it wasn’t for this scumbaggery I’d buy a Mac to replace win10, but at present apple are such a shower of cunts I think I may have to put up with win11.

What a fucking choice…

Nah its about £13 retail.

Oh wait, you mean from apple… Its £200 from them.

Well if you believe that you should look at the times lawsuit.

Word for word on hundreds/thousands of pages of stolen content, its damming

Yeah, bad post.

This is the current temp in south UK, been 14-15c last 2 days. Usually would be less than 0c now, often around -5 or lower in the past.

First Christmas I’ve seen people going from car to shop/garage in t shirts

While I didn’t have that issue, switching my fp4 to e/OS did give me roughly 50% more time on the battery. There are software trade offs though so if you just want the OEM experience then I guess it’ll be a case of waiting for an update.

I run e/OS, I don’t have google app store or any of the related service software installed. Yet I am able to use a cleaned up version of android and still have access to the google app store through an anonymous account using the in built app.

Epic won this case against google…

Epic lost the same case against apple, with which none of the above would be possible.

I’m not advocating for google, obviously I avoid them. But that’s BS, I hope this is used as precedent to bring a new case against apple.

Been running Linux as primary is for 10-15 years now, used to distro hop a lot, often just because. Life is too busy for that now but I last installed fedora (KDE, I always run KDE out of preference) about 5 years ago and I’m really impressed. The system is very current but its always remained stable for me and upgrading from version to version is smoother than normal security patches on win 10 which I still run for CAD.

Are you all up to date? Tbh I do agree with the other post, ASUS have terrible QA and don’t care.

I was wondering how badly out of context the above quote must be considering the UA isn’t checked in the function. Above poster is trying to construe it as a pure and simple permanent delay for Firefox.

That being said, the solution is still bullshit.

I’d be surprised if he could liquidate more than 40bln today, look at Tesla stocks P/E, its a house of paper cards. Spacex is always reportedly on the edge of bankruptcy. Last evaluation I saw of twitter value from its lenders was around 17bln, subtract its debts, that’s about 4bln.

He really has bet the house, it now a question of how long he can keep going on Tesla stock backed loans and if the stock price holds.

Save us phosh, or something similar…

Wonder how many reddit subs this person ‘moderates’

Being in your 30s really means getting to grow up though the golden era of gaming. Real life gets in the way now so I just have the games I liked, maybe buy one or 3 (non AAA) titles a year, and that’s good for me. I’m still young enough to be confident I’m not being an old fart when I say, there really is barely anything worth your time or money in the industry anymore. There are of course exceptions, but man, its rough.

I hope it all fails and has to start again before ‘valve, and EA company’ becomes a possible timeline

The ‘games prices have increased below inflation’ is flawed comparison. The size of the market and number of sales has far out scaled inflation so a game sold at the same price now as 10 years ago would be expected to make a lot more money even after adjusting for inflation. Plus the large reduction in physical media cost and the risks associated.

If we were talking about a physical product, maybe, though not always as production efficiency improvements can sometimes offset inflationary costs. However games don’t have a production related unit sales limit anymore.

There could be arguments mares along increasing production cost lines, but they still don’t scale with the past growth rate of the industry. And when you look at recent games like starfields budget and compare with better titles, the main take away seems to be some studios are just pissing money up the wall through incompetence and dumping that bill on the customer.

I was wondering what all the issues are until I reread and picked up on the nvidia part. That’s a shame as its been so stable for a long time on my 5700xt. I went exclusively AMD GPUs when the 5700 was released and aside from early issues with the win drivers, its been such a great experience on Linux. Big motivation was to be able to retire any of my cards as a video stream transcoder (after nvidia said 2 streams maximum, fuck you all) but as I’m not looking for 4k game all these years later those cards are still all I need for 2k.

Been really impressed with amd the last few years, especially compared to NVs mad pricing

You could even argue because no one needs to buy any of their stuff, it could be a good thing, because you could tax those extra profits and put it towards subsidising something everyone needs.

Oh wait we live in this world. My bad everyone.

The most obvious explanation to me is that following so much success running pump and dump scams on his followers in some stocks but mostly unregulated crypto, he decided he was untouchable. Then tried to run another such scheme on twitter stock, but this time threw in a legally binding contract into the manipulation because he’s too dumb to realise how dumb he is.

He got so used to fucking around, he thought he’d never have to find out…

Haven’t used airbnb in years, hotels are so much better and usually cheaper
