I can see a Steamdeck 2 happening, but definitely not a 3.

If true, that explains a lot. Where I’m from the pizza slice alone costs that much.

This is the reason I have a asustor NAS. Yes, it’s not as feature-rich and there are some services they offer that require an account, but nothing is really forced on you.

No I follow the 3-2-1 rule which states that you should have 3 copies in 2 locations where 1 of them is remote.

In my case, the remote part is two external SSDs where I leave one with my parents and the other one plugged into my NAS which does automatic daily backups. When my parents come I swap them around.

too important to self-host

For me it’s the other way round. My photos are too important to trust any corporation - no matter how trustworthy they say they are.

As long as it doesn’t become Reddit 2.0.

To be fair, if you do not care about the newest iteration of whatever Nvidia is up to (Frame Generation, RTX HDR, etc.) and don’t play games with kernel-level anti-cheat systems, there are really no issues with gaming on Linux these days - at least in my experience.

You’re absolutely right that Linux is still missing a lot of the features that are available on Windows. But the freedom you get with it is so worth it for me, even if my 4090 is bored most of the time.

… in the US. In other countries, they can’t be bought and likely never will be.

As a Martian I feel left out.

True.

The only thing the average consumer will even notice is the end of support for Windows 10. However, once the prompt to upgrade to Windows 11 appears, 99% will click “yes” and forget about it. They might be a little annoyed by the changes, but that will be all.

Add Norton to that list. They also perform their own MITM attack on your pc to ensure your certificates are “safe”…

And mainly in third world countries, like the US.

Yes, but the new evidence points to it as well!

Yeah you’re probably right. I should have probably diverted from the original topic halfway through. 😅

“Let me tell you, folks, it’s so true. Just like Putin, right? It’s unbelievable. We start with 3, then we go to 4, and then 5. It’s all about strength, and nobody knows strength like me. We’re talking about a progression, a strategy. Just like Putin does, so smart. You have to move step by step, building power. That’s how you win, that’s how you get things done. Trust me, it works.”

Trump in one of his rallies (probably)

Maybe not here, but on other bigger social media sites it was definitely the narrative.

I’m pretty sure everyone agrees that Trump is worse. But with headlines such as these a lot of people will unfortunately vote for Trump over Biden.

TIL my company has only bad managers.
