Has anyone told him of VM with pass through? He can still use win10 if it is just to game. Of course there is still a risk of exploits etc but dividing your computing helps lower your overall online risk. He can also do as I did and use 11 and not give a dam about the bloat. If it is a gaming computer it is likley powerful enough to VM and a linix.

There will be alot of regret from users that used this as well. In order for AI to even be competent, it needs massive amounts of data. YOUR data if you want it personalized. It has to be paid for, so you will give permissions for all those searches to be paid for by your input, tracking what you have done and what you have asked. The companies have tried to get all our information and just found another way to do data mining of our information. I don't think that most people understand how valuable this information is. Google is a trillion-dollar company. What have you paid google? What has people you know paid google? Next to nothing, if anything. It is a data mining company. From your emails to your searches and phone uses (if you use a google phone or even google apps on your apple phone) Google's information on googles data retention. Notice most times it says ... "most data". (sorry for the formatting. I don't know why it did that and it didn't want to be fix. )

It is pretty low on VRAM. That is very likely why you crashed if you had lots of textures. It isn't horrible. But not the best. Even a 1060 would have served you better.

If you don't mind me asking what you had previously?

At first viewing it was very interesting. I saw an LG tv and some cars and such. It looked more hyper realistic than Sims 4. Looking hyper realistic is nice but story and support and immersion is more important. Also what you stated @endgameaddiction is very true. It looks like they are trying to make it very moddable. The ability to add a texture from file is strange but original. There is evidence that they want to make modding part of the game. However, this could also be simply because they didn't lock down the game (yet) which they might do once they officially release it. Besides making it modable, I would like to add a mod manager as well as very well documented tools. Tools that are either added to free software like gimp and Blender or released tools would really make this super popular. I like their approach that they have given the option to even change the landscape beyond your lot. YOu can make changes to the city if you desire. If they added a way to create a entire city that you could download and place in game ... that would be terrific as well IMO. I can imagine people creating neighborhoods or even full cities (if the size would allow. If not sections) I believe it is at least worth keeping an eye on. Not worth paying 40 dollars currently for.

I know I am a looser... but this is catchy. Todd Looser has a video ... now Gabe has one. I like this one

I don't need anyone to help me remember birthdays or other stuff.

For quicker response, I suggest posting this on his Discord.

Indie games have been better so far. Maybe not as big or finished as some of the tripple a trash games I will give you that. I will still wait until I can see some realy solid game play and a proper review. I want to, i really want to give money to companies for games. They just have to give decent games. I bought Harry Potter, I can't even tell you much about the IP. I bought it because of the flack the left gave as well as the major reviews and praises it got. Same for Baulders Gate 3. Not into D&D games (well video games that is) but it got so much positive ... importantly REAL praise I bought it. Liked both and got my money's worth out of it. These weren't cheap games. Oh I also got Robocop game as well and it was good for a few run thoughs (got that on a sale though a few years after its release as it wouldn't give me as much play as the others. )

I've been so excited on games only to be extremely disappointed. I find it extremely hard to be excited about any game that is out or coming out shortly.

What could have been. think it would have been good?

Yes please, I need new hardware! Recycle all those perfectly good old hardware. Expecally those powerful gaming systems Also is it just me or does this narrator remind you of Snape from Harry Potter? Windows is a great company (for me) as it constantly pushes for the newest and greatest (leaving the old stuff behind ) YES PLEASE!

He likely likes to point out exploits and stuff to make Microsoft have a headache. If you watch his videos he uses Linux BECAUSE of Windows crap they do. He had a video that stated he had certificates going back to 2002? (I believe that log ago) for various Windows skills. He uses it often for work and such. In said video he stated he can fix what Microsoft does but he many times doesn't want to put up with it and swaps over to Linux where he can get a system that he can do some real work. You are correct with many other sources that are doing this as their main job. I suspect videos from him is his second job or at least was when he started. If he didn't lie, he has more than enough skill to work in a high paying job in IT. Just his skills in Linux alone.

absolutely. However their dissolving won't be interferring with the common person. They can melt, disolve or explode whatever suits their fancy in their little world. The same goes for extreme right wing crazies. Both should go to their own corners and do their own thing. Let the rest of the world live in peace. they won't learn for example Youtube and their bullshit they are doing. People are moving to another platform. Same with Tic Tok and Farcebook. Start wit the shit and lose.

Hey, I think it is cool that there is someplace where those people can go to and talk their talk away from others.

A different source.

Surely this is an April's Fools joke. Right? Surely Microsoft can't be that stupid. I mean every attempt that they do to force this gets a massive negative response. No company would do that, right? Making people dig into their registry and other task to get their computer set up the way they need. This isn't aiding in security. In fact someone can screw something up and or turn off something that is needed for security. Every step they are taking is stupid. I for one is mostly on Linux. I have a computer that i am trying out various distros and programs and such gaining experince and understnading of what I want and how to get it. Linux isn't a once stop shoppng so there is some compromises you need but it is pretty easy for someone that needs basic office and internet stuff to get a quick easy setup ... Linux Mint. Or perhaps Unbuntu etc. to get really far and intergrate windoze espcially gaming and particuarly online gaming is difficult to impossible. Reason I currently have a Windows .. yes set up with an online account. first time in history (but all they can really get is my gaming stuff. ) for games. Don't worry, gaming is advancing very fast in Linux. Very fast. There are even distros that setup everyting for you however you do need to still know some stuff to tweak it when problems arrise. (dam. my H key is dying on my keyboard. lol Serves me for keeping a keyboard for years. lol)

my laggy mess was likely a bad download as I had a near complete failure with missing a monitor! Tried a live CD and it worked well. So instead of wasting hours trying to figure it out, installed a fresh copy. Firefox is still a bit laggy but not bad. Much better and like on m y other potato. lol 20 minutes later a compete system fully updated and some key software installed. I can do this 10 times more and still be less time that a Windows install and update lol. Expecially if you add the software installation in the equations!

Not so third rate. I belive that is propaganda of the West. Keep in mind, even with choking sanctions it still managed to grow for a time. Still is managing to get materials and equipment to the front lines. Still able to mount a war and finally still holding land in a country that had basically an open checkbook for purchasing supplies to throw at it. Sure China is likely helping to a degree and as it Korea but I doubt either are contributing the tones of cash that is being contributed by USA/Europe / nato. Ukraine is getting first rate intellegence from the USA. Yet with all this. Propaganda aside, Ukraine still isn't successful after 3 years. I do agree the media in Europe are pushing a farce. However, the reason might be much more evil. With "concern" and controled panic they can further push their agenda and funnel more money to Ukraine maybe even personal. All the while the citizens will back it. the US money train that has left the station has to be made up. The military complex in Europe wants to get in the action and make record $$$ now as well. So they (Europe) will use Trump as an reason to spend double or even tripple of what they did previously on top of the support being sent to build up their forces.
