  1. Have you checked out this site? https://dev.epicgames.com/community/unreal-engine/learning Not sure how good they are. Haven't used it but I was also playing with the idea of learning various things as well. Time however doesn't allow that lol
  2. How has it been for you so far?
  3. It goes beyond that. Have you ever looked at a car from the 80 or before? Notice the fabric and carpet holds up way better than it does now on newer cars? I found a YouTube channel that talked about how they repair and update old Tesla cars. How they were designed with limited updates which when another one comes along and there isn't anymore writes to the ROM chip it starts to make the car in "limp mode" or the like. It would be perfectly fine to me if they made these items super cheap and easily replaceable. However, cars and other electronics which were cheaper or in the case of TVs and such were getting cheaper now are going up out of this world. For TV, I already have a plan. I will use a Chromecast or something homemade using a Raspberry Pi to continue using my TV. For Apple products, there is a firmware and software system that will extend the use and allow updates beyond the premature discontinuing of Apple products. (prevent updates) Google phones have a process where you can get and install a pure android option or even Linux on select phones. Phones like the pixel. Have the same option with my Chromebook if it still works when they stop supporting it. (for some strange reason, they keep on extending the level of support. Not complaining, but have to put that out there. ) It came from Google, not a third party. My biggest bitch on this type of subject is their refusal to allow you to work on their products even AFTER they declare it obsolete. Tesla is horrible in this case. Apple is in the same boat. Makes it harder for third party vendors to do work to keep perfectly fine hardware up and running until it is very reasonable to send to the junkyard or trash heap.
  4. Just last April someone came on this site with some mental illness. He was allowed to be here even after attacking a moderator. (because some random person on the web spouting something ... really hurts us. Hurts us bad ... lol... yea right) But that was the first straw. Once it was discovered that he went to mod authors Discord(s) and attacked them there and then when addressed there, came back here to start shit... Yea. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. The leaders of this site are adults from a time when it was perfectly normal to have discussions of various points of view. Perfectly fine to agree to disagree. Back when "Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me" and other such phrases.
  5. The good thing about people being fixated on Nexus is they don't come here. They don't come and try to make this site "their" site. Try to push for changes that appeal to them. Start their bullshit. We occasionally get some of those people that do show an intended purpose of that bullshit, and we do address them. There have been people that have come and left because we weren't "their" type of site. That is 100% perfectly fine by us.
  6. Let them know that they can post here. lol. None of that SJW bullshit here. !!!! Also that games looks good. I haven't even seen a seond of the game play. I don't even know what it is about but it looks good. Why you might ask? Sure, I'll be happy to tell you. It is a game company that is willing to allow people to actually use the game like they own it. Mod it to their hearts content. Sure they didn't create tools for it but that doesn't take away from their willingness to stand back and watch what people are doing with the game and not give a peep. They are wise enough to know that mods can attact users and keep them well past the first couple of years the game is generally sold. popular. etc.
  7. i can believe it. I say don't trust Microsoft with anything. At least anything that is importatnt for you. Same goes for Google or any other corporation that isn't open source and free. You can just grap an old computer. Perhaps one of those old ones that no longer will be valid for use with the Widoze 10 going out of service, and add a TrueNas Core or something server to it. Then get one of the free cloud services and set it up for yourself. YOu can put pretty much any dam thing you want there and not worry about it being shut down. I say pretty much anything as it won't protect you from investigation from the FBI etc. but you won't loose it due to some policy or automatic acton from the provider. I have a old computer now waiting for me to set up a server on it. I will then have music server, movie server, document server, back up optons etc. All where I HAVE CONTROL. Means a bit more work on your part setting up and making sure everything is good to go and occasional maintenance but in general these are set and done type programs and services.
  8. It is entirely possible that he sold a majority of the business to the other people. This way he still would have a say but not in day to day activities. So there won't be any stopping of that SJW crap that they have there. Also, he didn't have to sell the business. He could have taken Midol. It works wonders, so I hear. No more menstrual cramps.
  9. Nobody in that region wants Palestinians. Where are the articles showing them sending food and humanity aids to the area (besides Israel). I've only see outrage and negative comments when other countries are asked to take on Palestinians. I am surprised that worse wasn't done to those demonstrators
  10. The only opton in my humle opinon is to move to Linux. I am deeply disturbed and wondering why we can't sue Microsoft for the updates. Since they DO HAVE THEM available. It is clearly a cash grab. If you bought a license and now it isn't valid for support well before you are ready to migrate to the new one, due to situations beyond your control ( hardware) but they have updates ... how is that right? Just another reason to micgrae to Linux. You can still have access to your old license (if you bought a license) by using a VM. Many if not most VMS have "snapshots" which work better than any backup that you can get for Windows. Have a clean shapshot and use your Windows based tools that you can't find a replacement for or haven't been able to find a proper replacement or learn how to use your replacements yet. Ideally you would migrage as much as humanly possible to Linux. I had some serious problems when I started using Linux as the software wasn't what I expected. Took me some time to get the right software and get a work process out of it. However, I can tell you that after that learning curve, I am preferring many Linux options over the Windows ones. Much more preference. TL;DR. Migrage to Linux. No more future problems.
  11. You will have your answer when you know why in real life some mayors and governors are extremely soft on crime, letting people run rough shod over the citizens they are sworn to protect. I believe iit is just because they were incompetent. At least when Played the game, that is what my head canon stated. AT least that is a fanasty not real. A mechanic that is needed to advance the story. What story are the weak politicians trying to push? Achieve?
  12. Throwing rocks at a cop. Calling them fucking pussies then when they get out they run like the cowards that they are
  13. WHY!!!!! WHY DO THIS!!! WHY SHOW THIS!!!! Now where am I going to get great equipment now that people won't be unnecessarily having to upgrade their computers thanks to Microsoft? I have confidence in Microsoft. They will find a way to prevent this. That is for sure. lol
  14. I just thought of a thing. Throw Arch on a virtual machine and test it out for a bit. Just to get the bugs out and to know if you have the basics down and are ready to start diggin in. Tha tis if you don't hvae a spare computer (like I had )
