Maybe its the games I have played but my last pc was connected to my tv exclusively for 5 years and never saw that UI issue. I definitely had issues that sometimes needed addressing, but that wasnt one. I thought it worked good enough, but yeah the keyboard and mouse was always annoying. I used the Logitech all in one which was pretty small and mouse pad on the right side from the couch. For the most part I used it more for video playback though so I was in Kodi a lot and I would then use my phone as the remote control.

Lol, I also hate the RGB as well. I built mine a few years ago and it was annoying how badly it is just integrated into most parts now. Some had options where I could buy the same part without it, but some it was either buy it with it or get something else that was either lower end or higher end and not what I wanted at all. In the end it has a low glow and I just face that open window at a wall. Why can’t everything have a boring option like noctua fans.

Not disagreeing with any of this, but it’s not like people who don’t build PC’s dont have plenty of options of prebuilt ones from either high end 3rd party stores as well as low end ones. To me it’s just another option to add to a long list which due to the company name will definitely sell more than the others right off the bat.

Thanks for the suggestion. Says on it’s site summer 2026 is target for release. Still a while away, I wonder how long we have with Firefox before this takes over…

I want them to build a top of the line gaming pc put into a small box and sell it to me at a huge loss. Why can’t they do that?

I don’t think I have ever watched the game awards, but I do look at the results and trailers the day after. I am glad Claire pulled through! I was following that game the year before it released and it looked incredible. For me it was a day one purchase and glad I was right! It was definitely an experience. It’s also the only game I have purchased this year outside of black friday where I used a gift card to buy 3 cheap games.

My biggest complaint is not that they sell you stuff, it’s that they price everything so dam high… like spending $20 in these games should get you something significant in my eyes, instead you barely get a 10 random pull where you probably end up with crap. Screw that… with that said if I do get into one I will normally throw the game like $20 total purchasing a few things if they feel worth it. I am currently playing Chaos Zero Nightmare and the prices are so bad I haven’t spent a dime and don’t think I will. Its a good game otherwise.

Don’t underestimate the older generation. The sad part is ive been saying that for decades now and thought it would die with them, somehow a lot of these gross things don’t seem to die.

My drive to work is an hour so definitely not biking it.

Oh thank you! I thought i was the only cheap fuck who tells them no all the time…

Mine had money because they refused to buy a PC at all. They were new at that time and the average cost for one back then was like 3k, they said nah were good.

Oh shit, this is me for the next 4 days actually. I run a pizza club were someone in it gets to pick a pizza place when its their turn and we all go there. Happens once every quarter of the year. The person who picked today’s wanted a weekend of pizza so were all getting local pizza at a good place then driving 6 hours to a place and spending the weekend there. Pizza tomorrow, pizza Saturday, and on the way back hit 2 more famous ones on the way home. Pizza!

Your doctor will care, but that would mean someone doing this stuff is actually going to one.

Not everyone has an “adult” sized dick. Also not everyone watching is male.

When I went on vaca a few months ago I was caught off guard with this. Kind of crazy that this is going to be everywhere probably… I will never give them this info, there are always alternatives. I just used VPN that week which worked fine.

Wish them luck, but I honestly feel like this should be more about preserving a dying language over saving it. From the numbers provided in the article I would highly doubt this can save it. It can definitely draw attention and allow it to be preserved a lot easier though, which will help it be recognized easier in the future.

I think a bunch still do. I don’t have it because I just purchased the phone with no cell plan. I just use wifi and if I go out I use my work phone Hotspot to provide wifi to my personal. I use Google voice so I have a number and some of those chat apps that my friends use to keep in touch. Im in my 40’s and have never had a cell phone bill still. Outside leaving the house, I honestly cant believe people are paying $60-$100+ dollars a month when you can get everything it does these days off wifi. For the minor inconvenience ive ran into sometimes I still think it’s worth it for the price.

As someone who only uses a phone without a SIM card this would suck for me.

When i was looking into switching to linux I tried out a bunch of flavors through vm’s and I am glad I did because the one I thought I wanted ended up not even working through a vm and in the end I also loved CachyOS the most as well! This was earlier in the year and honestly I am still planning out how to rebuild my main pc. Im more afraid of spending an entire day formatting and rebuilding and not be in a position where it works well enough and be disappointed that I lost my setup that worked fine.

I’ve used the regkey hack years ago, but recent ones seemed more difficult to bypass. I ended up using a USB stick as well and formatted it with Rufus which has all the options built in to bypass it all. It worked 100% of the time the 3 times I used it. Before doing that 2 systems just wouldnt complete and always ended up giving an error at some point. One of my older systems at work is a Dell Precision which came with a Xeon processor which is normally a server CPU and windows 11 doesnt support server at all so those CPUs aren’t compatible. Been running 11 on it 2 years now and is completely stable. The tower is almost 10 years old now, but I dont want to give it up because I know ill never get anything nearly as powerful as a replacement today haha.
