Almost everything about it needs to be optional because sometimes USB is used to charge some cheap battery powered thing and sometimes it’s used to make a backup of a harddrive and sometimes it’s charging my laptop with enough power for it to be rendering video but still have a net charge increase to the battery while also providing Ethernet, video output, and keyboard/mouse input over the same one port.

EDIT to make it more clear why the variability of USB standards is what it is, compare a modern laptop to one from 10 years ago.

The older laptop has:

• for video, an HDMI port (or the less common mini HDMI port), and perhaps a mini DP port
• an Ethernet port
• a charging plug
• possibly some FireWire ports (may or may not be the same as the mini DP port)
• USB A ports for keyboard/mouse and other random devices

The newer laptop has:

• USBC ports that can do all of the above

The perhiperals, however, don’t support all of the features. They only support the features they actually use. As long as the laptop supports all of the optional features, you don’t need to worry about it.

The is especially helpful for less technical users who may not want to know what the difference between HDMI and DisplayPort is. With a fully USBC based laptop and USBC perhipals you can just plug it in and it will work.

Of course this is all dependent on the laptop implementing all of the extra features, which is still only really true of more expensive laptops.

My local used game store rarely has the valuable old games anymore.

You don’t actually need internet for the VR streaming part, so you could just set up a router not plugged into the wall

/home is for every program to store its personal junk in hidden files apaprently

Then have chromium installed for chromecast only and Firefox installed for normal browsing.

Xubuntu is more than fine. Tbh it doesn’t hugely matter which distro you use for this type of thing

What I could gather:

• both items and bro attacks (the bro attacks seem to be short and quick, the items seem to be longer)
• something about combining basic attacks into “combination attacks” but they didn’t have a clip of this

It’s actually not really wrong. There are many VR games you can get away with low specs for.

Yes when you suggested a 3070 it just took that and rolled with it.

It’s basically advanced autocomplete, so when you suggest a 3070 it thinks the best answer should probably use a 3070. It’s not good at knowing when to say “no”.

Interesting it did know to come up with a newer AMD card to match the 3070, as well as increasing the other specs to more modern values.

Metal and glass are recycleable. And if they do get into the environment, they are really just purified rocks and will gradually become sand in the weather. (Not that it’s great to have soda cans and broken glass in the sea, but to some extent it’s not as bad as microplastics).

Paper is recycleable.

Paper, wood, and other plant products (e.g. cotton) are biodegradable and come from plants that can be farmed.

In terms of sustainability it’s something like:

1. Plant products
2. Metal and glass
3. Plastics

But also even more important than that, it’s far better to reuse something many times than to use single use products, regardless of the material they are made of.

Not all games are like that. BG3 is an example of a game that isn’t like that.

Honestly if you buy a Mac give macOS a try. It’s Unix based so you’ll feel at home in the command line. It doesn’t come with a command line package manager but there are two popular ones you can install (homebrew and macports).

There are some really subtle details experts can look at to detect Photoshop work, such as patterns in the JPEG artifacts than can indicate a photo was reocmpressed multiple times in some areas but not others.

Unfortunately it really doesn’t. And it’s actually Linux that’s the bigger problem: whenever it decides to updates GRUB it looks for OSes on all of your drives to make grub entries for them. It also doesn’t necessarily modify the version of grub on the booted drive.

Yes I’m sure there’s a way to manually configure everything perfectly but my goal is a setup where I don’t have to constantly manually fix things.

I played the previous mobile version of the Pokemon TCG. The problem is, the game doesn’t even try to be balanced. Whoever has the most valuable cards wins - full stop. The more valuable cards are just straight up more powerful, rarely with any cost difference or drawbacks.

There are plenty of good mobile TCGs out there though.

It hasn’t actually been $5 in a long time. It was like $7 last time I went (a few years ago).

They should just take the route BandCamp takes and tell you to go to the website to make purchases

What about the test case where I’m using the browser’s dev tools to re-send http requests in random orders?

If you can pull it off, successful merchandising is far more lucrative than the original media. A tale as old as consumerism.
