Irregardless and inflammable add two unnecessary letters and one unnecessary syllable. Society cannot afford this gargantuan waste!!

She should be okay if she's wearing one of those hair things underneath. I forget what they're called. It bunches up your hair like a shower cap and keeps your hair from getting in the armor

Edit: the girl here is not wearing one it seems though

Oh, Grant Cardone? The fake-billionaire scientologist grifter who got his ass handed to him by T Mobile's CEO? The one whose inner circle reeks of fraud?

THAT Grant Cardone?

Wanna listen to that grifter get called out and embarrassed? (Video includes background info on who Grant Cardone is) https://www.youtube.com/live/L6qWUtTHhU8?si=cWgXvHDyYFaXJiSX

Is that not what KDE Discover and Gnome Software Center do? Or is this a new one for Gnome?

<insert diety here> was definitely looking out for us. I'll celebrate this weekend at <insert place of worship here> and with a month-long <insert label for religious adherence to diet, clothing, and activities>

When you have millions of players, .03% is 300 people per million. Consider the fact that the .03% of people in this figure are those who report this bug to Riot.

Perhaps not included in the .03% are people who lost their install and:

  • are not tech savvy enough to even file a report or recover their computer
  • gave up or quit trying
  • haven't yet recovered their PC to file a report the usual way
  • stuck to reporting issues and seeking help elsewhere, such as on Reddit, perhaps even PC subreddits
  • quit when they realized how insane the Vanguard saga is

Riot is has a colorful history and a future of misuing and abusing statistics across the board. It's practically their modus operandi.

They put some under-the-hood improvements in 10 that they didn't put in 7, such as a new display driver model and Directx 12.

But that does not make a difference to most people. Industry desupporting of Windows 7 is the biggest con to it.

Eventually, 10 will share 7's fate. So you'll have both 10's regressions and 11's and so forth to live with as long as you're on Windows. You can't stop Microsoft from desupporting and killing their software in the long run.

Microsoft has a multi-decade history of enshitification when they do not perceive any major threats. Internet Explorer, DirectX, Windows Server, etc. all rotted. Some of these are still active and supported, yes, but they all peaked years ago and are aging poorly. Microsoft doesn't really do the labor of love thing much when customers are bagged.

Linux may be able to dethrone them to an extent if it can reach an ease of access/UX that most people are comfy with. And it has made huge strides over the years. It can also run most Windows software very well.

Mac is still priced very high and still feature-limited and a 2nd/3rd-class citizen when it comes to platform targeting. Offering lower priced conputers would make them a pretty big threat I think.

I think ChromeOS is a decent threat to Windows but it loses tons of features vs all the other options. At least it is really cheap and easy to use.

I've had a lot of experience with Linux and I use Nobara currently. My only catch with Bazzite is that I didn't know the first thing to do. It somehow felt as if most of my experience in Linux was just useless.

Not saying it's a bad thing, I just decided I'd stick to Nobara for now and try learning Bazzite in the future to give it a fair shake.

I'm also a tweaker. I like to play with ZRam and add other things to the OS, like a custom kernel with BCacheFS-Git to support my gaming darastores. I suspect some of my creature comforts may be harder to get.

What do you mean Albuquerque has fewer people than NYC? One time I was at this cafe in Albuquerque and it was packed!

 

I'd like to set limits on the clockspeed of my laptop for efficiency and to reduce heat and fan usage. Is there some way I can do this in AMD's Pstate-EPP driver?

 

I don't know if this is true, but I've heard Visa and other card compabies can sometimes be expensive and difficult to small businesses. Is there something else one could use that's not cash that would be better?
