  1. Possibly being hidden by advocates of Windows 10 Making it harder to find such materials. Most phones aren't using the standard Android! They are using the base, then adding a top layer to it. Locking the phone down making you have to jump through hoops to get the standardized Android option. Chrome book is making changes to the environment of Linux as well making many things exclusive to the Chromebook adding to the fray so to say. Only difference is they sell more premade so that grandma has a linux based system to use as opposed to downloading, installing, configuring it on a .. most likely windows machine or one that was built. More "mainstream" I still hear good things about Steam OS from time to time. It is particularly good from what I am told if you wish to use Steam Linux games (or games with a version for linux) Less need to fiddle with the OS to get the things you need. From what one person that tried it told me. It was the closest things to the Windows experience for Linux gaming he has seen. (without the CTD and other bull shit lol) If anyone has a 5 year old laptop give them a try (Umbuntu, Steam OS etc) if not give it a try with a free VM manager and a downloaded ISO. No harm done. Umbuntu and its cousins have some of the best Linux support for issues that arise. Good for noobs. Who knows, might be able to move from Windows as your primare machine. Added info. You can with some desktops use IMMOU (believe I got that acronym correct) to "pass through" a second graphics card and other hardware while using your Linux system. Essentially having two machines in one. that isn't using Linux per say but that OS mentioned is based on it. (from my understanding) and a good quick example of what I am talking about. Then you can keep your important shit away from Microflop as much as possible.
  2. I don't give a flying fuck if it is main stream or lacks standardization. It is something I can use to get away from Windoze to do 90% of the shit I want done. the rest of the people can spend the 5 minutes watching a few videos and or reading some sites to start using Linus or continue using Windoze. I don't care. there is so much support for various Linux distros that anyone with some tech savy can install it and get it up and running in a reasonable time. I did (not a mainstream computer but would provided I had an alternate to my gaming one) I have yet to see any tool or app or dependency that I wanted, that was available on another Linux branch not be available for my chosen distro provided the one I choose is in any way even close to a main stream distro. I have heard of them, never seen a need, the worse case download the source and compile. Only problem I still occasionally come up with is hard ware compatibility however, it is light years better than it was back in the 90's and getting better all the time. FYI.. Chromebooks are Linux and they are standardized. You also can assess the Linux under pinnings if you wish. https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439?hl=en Beta but likely will be much more mainstream and standardized as time goes on considering the market penetration and avent of more and more powerful versions of Chromebooks.
  3. For some.. very rare instances, it might make sense to use that service. (for businesses .. select ones etc etc) however, the common person, it is just plain shit. However, I don't think they give a fuck about the standard user unlike what Gates did when he founded Microsoft. windows 7 is awesome, but I have been using Windows 10 after they fixed some of the issues that were problems with me (both at home and work) so that I could migrate over. Also some of my needed software worked better in Windows 10. I can't see how they will force Ray Tracing, just provide support. It makes sense for them to advertise it and work on showing it in action to both help their partner company nVidia as well as show a game in its best form possible. (from their standpoint. ) Ray tracing does look great, however, It isn't for me as I have an upgraded graphics card (1~2 years ago) that is quite powerful and no need to upgrade for quite some time. (need a processor, motherboard, ram upgrade first and don't even really need that in spite my computer hardware listed above is more than 4 years old. (so old that the fucking processor cooler failed and had to be replaced and the heat sink paste refreshed Those that understand tech.. understand how much and how old that shit is. ) If it is, then no matter how much I like the game, they won't get my money until i need an upgrade. Also, might not get it if I go to where I am leaning to for future computer (AMD) both processor and graphics (for Linux and other compatibility reasons) Unless I can use some of my older shit to have two computers run (provided it keeps on working through that time lol) Then I can h ave a dedicated gaming rig and essentially fuck all this Windows shit (mainstream use, still might need a VM or such but they provide "evaluation images for that. ) and just use a "real" OS .. for my main works. I'm telling you, the more I am getting use to it.. the more I am liking it. It is a massive learning curve but .. FUCK.. man.. just a line of script in the terminal my shit is all updated.. A line or two and I got all sorts of software installed. All my shit is from reliable repos and 99% of it is open source no compiled shit. All watched and monitored by 100s of eyes far smarter than I am about security. Then.. the best part.... THE OS DOES WHAT i WANT WHEN I WANT IT TO .. AND DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE! No tracking bull shit, no background communications to "home" or other shit Windows do. I do trade off the ability to talk to my computer and have it do shit for me. Auto filling programs and shit like that.
  4. It is an upcoming "Feature" I for one am saying "Hello" to Linux and other OSs
  5. It took a DLC to get that!
  6. Yes, that is the stable market price for those items as well as there are stable market prices for other items. It is the companies (and gov) that try to artificially inflate the cost to ring up more profits. When those cost start getting out of wack.. (when investors and companies start getting bent out of shape due to the cost of oil going up above that price) It is because there is a carefully watched and understood maximum prices (yes prices for the same product) that people will pay for. There is a maximum price before people will put off travel with the cost of gas (the finished product from crude oil) A maximum price a person will pay or consider paying when purchasing a future car (taking gas into consideration, keep in mind that historically people didn't buy trucks and large suvs it is a marke thing. Other countries don't do this like US) Each time that price starts to go above a set level... people stop buying and the market shrinks and cost them all that profit as they either have to lower the price.. or loose the money. Same goes for corn.. to high a price, people will eat something else Price for everything like corn goes up.. people will hold off as much as possible.. forcing companies to sell at lower prices (sweet spot) again loosing their profits. In the 70s and before, companies took a reasonable profit, took care of their employees (most) with good pay understanding that employees needed money (reasonable amount) to be able to fuel the economy. Now, it is winner take all shit. Cheapest labor, cheapest materials, cheapest cost to get the maximum profits.
  7. I think I see why these gaming companies are doing so much .. loot boxes, ads etc etc. Eventually they will say that they do these things in order to keep the game cheaper.. (60+ dollars) otherwise it would cost 120 or so for the same game without these things... O.o They will then talk about how the game prices haven't risen with the cost of inflation and added cost of creating such games. They are on the "loosing" end and can't keep this up without one or the other.. Then they will offer their base game for 120 to start with 200 dollar plus special editions and such. I am fucking cynical today, so fucking cynical today.

  9. Amazing how these shows just stick in your minds..
  10. Might be the person that started the great Wihelm Scream.. according to some lol Thoughts?

  12. Is it difficult.. perhaps the users an update it themselves for their use. I'd do so but I don't have it installed (our using it ) either. Besides not having a clue how to do it.
  13. Honestly, I believe this really belonged in the "THE CRINGE-WORTHY INTERNET THREAD"
  14. Seriously? Thank god I took College while they still (and at a location where) there were still some brains (and balls ) to address issues in an intelligent manner. Colleges are a place where future leaders of the world are educated on how to address issues, solve problems and communicate. The last place where a person can get opportunity to realize what the "real world" is truly away from their parents protection. Any college that has an issue with open dialogue and / or fear of their students when so radically outside of any reasonable intelligent thought process... well, the admin needs to be terminated and cut to the core and new instructors and educators brought in. That cancer needs to die and it is best to catch it at our educational institutions. I remember discussions and social issues at the time I was in college... the college was open and the instructors willing to discuss the topics of the day, personal, social whatever during the process of education. Outside of class, still ever the educator the instructors and even admin had level heads and helped the students "find themselves" in an open and honest environment where they can make mistakes (false assumptions etc) and learn from them.
  15. My doctor is a vegan. He is healthy and fine. He is an advocate for Vegans (not to be confused with Vegetarians) However, it is very hard to properly maintain nutrition doing so. You have to really know where and what and how much to eat to keep the proper nutrition. Most if not all end up having to take supplements. The video above shows at times the extreme "crazy" side of this lifestyle.
  16. CD Project Red.. wrote well written stories with fully developed characters that were gay, bi (Ceri for example .. a main character) and homosexual. There was a cross dresser. cyberpunk is developed by a black man. Working with them hand in hand. The report above stated that CDPR is working with Haitian groups to make sure they "get it right" and are as sensitive to their culture as possible .. .which by the way will make for a terrific story as well. The advertisements.. I can believe in an environment like that there would be a swimsuit model with a large package... That seemed to have been done in a very realistic way based on the rest of the game play footage I have seen so far, and based on similar movies and books like this. All this controversy is just confirming to me that CDPR is doing an excellent job, paying attention to the details and developing a great game with deep characters, quest and stories. The one thing that will turn me off is if they (CDPR) started to show they hit a SJW list of subjects.. Trans, check, Bi check, etc etc. without any thought or reason for the character being there and part of the game / story. Much like Mass Effect Andromeda .. we all know how good that game's character development was.
  17. I'm the most down to earth alien you will ever meet. I have to copy the URL then paste it into a new tab to get to the video.. Strange..
  18. If that was the case... Fallout 76 woudn't be the glitchy piece of shit it is... The Creation Club would have "major quest" and other things. If someone's mouth is moving at Bethesda... it is 95% likely they are spouting lies, the last 5% Is intentional misleading statements. At least in this instance they had to deliver on their promised goods.
  19. He is off his meds.. lol Doesn't mean he is wrong though.
  20. 3:47... If that was an 11 year old girl doing that... the parents would be sent to jail for exploitation of a child. 11 years olds... shouldn't be doing that regardless of if male or female, gay or straight. It is one thing to support the child's development and quite another exploiting it. Also, how could grown adults not feel like a pedo tossing money at a child dancing at a club like a stripper (I assume a stripper and not doing a rendition of "I am a little tea pot" ... Wait... that is even worse.. ) As for your statement @endgameaddiction about strip clubs... not going to happen. They will go out of business unless they are part of a gay club. I can't see any mainstream, current strip club ever having that there. ... Unless that trans has their full operation (remove the meaty bits) and look better than any of the women they have there. Which in the US is a pretty long shot. (Trans can't get treatment until well after puberty which makes it extremely hard to pass, unlike South America, and some Asia countries. ) Well @endgameaddiction you were very successful in making me cringe...
  21. He decided to send a dam Tesla into space. How much of a carbon footprint that that leave
  22. Still offline for me.
  23. Elon is going to make nuke powered 40~50's style cars now. No more problem or complaints about how long the car takes to charge. Bonus.. it can run a small town when it isn't being used to drive somewhere.
  24. Its been more economical for me to do the upgrades every 1 or 2 years put in 150~300 dollars much less than an Xbox and get an upgrade. My shit is getting so old that I had to get a replacement on my cooler (70 dollars) as the old one wore out. (closed loop) Went with air this time. (a nice one) A decent (more than what xbox has) graphics card can be gotten around where I live for about 150~180 often times cheaper (if clearances or discontinued) Edit.. just checked some of the cost for Xbox and they are as low as 200dollars (or sometimes below) which is a cheap graphics card (which is better than the xbox but) There are many games that play horrible on the xbox (frame rate) I need good frame rates or get sea sick. Basically I put my money into the computer as needed for an ongoing upgrade which gives me a central place for entertainment, movies, games, work, social etc etc. I make my $$$ work their asses off. However, to be fair.. the next upgrade will cost quite a bit more.. (about 3 xboxes) as my hardware (core, motherboard, memory and processor) are of a older generation requiring a complete replacement of all those components if any are changed. Once I do that however, I will be good to go for another 4~6 years or more. (baring something breaking) I have two xboxes (360s) and haven't used them in, quite possibly up to 10 years.. I used them a bit before the xbox one was released and put them in storage. Don't know where the second one came from, likely given to me by someone that also didn't want his anymore. I only asked with the other work you have done (mentioned in the past) that a strong computer would be something you would want to have.. with that.. all that is needed is a 200 dollar processor (if not an all in one unit) On a side note.. I really want to gather up my used equipment and upgraded components and create a dedicated gaming computer.
