Me too!

Are you an animal of prey? No? Then you shouldn’t be eating lamb’s meat.

Intelligence matters. Just that IQ number is not a very good indicator of intelligence.

And the average IQ is already pretty low.

Good thing that IQ numbers are largely pointless.

There’s usually some settings you need to change on your torrent tool, like disarming different, DHT, etc - the sure usually has instructions for beginners.

Not at all required. The client sees a private torrent and does all that automatically.

I have tried this. I’m often reminded the next day that they still haven’t received a reply from me.

When people message with a “hi” or “hello” and then say nothing more till I reply.

It annoys the hell out of me. Like, why can’t you just say what you want. It wastes so much of my time and mental energy to switch back and forth while I wait for your reply after replying to your utterly useless hello.

I don’t think anyone playing any game has that expression on their face while playing.

I have a flight to catch tomorrow and am currently running a fever of 103°F.

The best thing that could happen to me would be that I miraculously get better so I don’t miss my flight.

Not gonna happen though. I’ll just have to book another ticket for next week. That’s the equivalent of ~100 USD (~300 USD on PPP basis) I’ll never see again.

I agree that the top end gpus are shit at efficiency and we should could cut back.

According to Steam survey, 4090, 3090, 6900XT, and 7900 XTX combined are being used by about 1.7% of gamers.

This number is, of course, inflated (at least slightly) because people who have money to buy these cards are also more likely to buy games and people owning older/cheaper cards are more likely to be playing pirated copies.

The top tier cards are showcase of technological advancement. They are not really used by a large number of people. So there’s not much point. It will only reduce the baseline for next generation, leading to less advancement.

I’m someone who doesn’t care about graphics a whole lot. I play most modern games at 1080p Mid/high on my RTX 3060.

And yet, I totally agree with your points. Many times, older games had rich looking environment from a distance, but if you go close or try to interact with it, it just breaks the illusion. Like, leaves can’t move independently or plants just don’t react to your trampling then etc.

A lot of graphical improvements are also accompanied with improvements in how elements interact with other elements in the game. And that definitely adds to the immersion, when you can feel like you’re a part of the environment.

I needed a second number a few months ago. My phone has a physical SIM and an eSIM slot. I looked at eSIM.

This is from India, there was no clear information on switching phones and all. Since many cheap phones (the type I use) still don’t have eSIM slots, I might need move back to physical SIM later. There was no information about that either.

And lastly, regulations suck here. Every change of SIM type is treated as a new connection which comes with a 24-hour embargo on everything except incoming calls.

I just bought a cheap second phone.

20 million units of a gaming console hardly sounds like a crisis. People have gotten far too used to sales number of mobile phones. Consoles are not something everyone buys.

Regardless of what system you use, your family members will always only have to connect to the shared folders. If they just want to backup and browse files, they won’t have to touch a terminal, ever. That’s the whole point of NAS.

So it’s really a matter of your budget and how much time you’re willing to spend setting it up. For instance, a 5-bay hard drive enclosure and an old 7th gen i3 NUC will do most of what a Synology DS423+ will do and will save youa about US $250. But the synology will take you 2 hours to setup and a few hours of tinkering if you wish whereas the NUC will take many hours of tinkering and setup, depending on your skill level. You’ll also end up with a less polished interface on the NUC setup.

So if you’re the kind of person who loves playing around with custom built system, pickup whatever you like and set it up to your preference. If you just want to get something and have it work, go for Synology.

Oh, and also, Synology shares a lot of data with Synology servers. Mostly it’s not a concern, but if you worry about that kind of thing, you might want to know beforehand.

Sony will probably follow a 3-year lag release cycle, so yes, they won’t be exclusives eventually. However, emulation is highly unlikely given that almost 10-year old PS4 can still not be reliably emulated.

Your last line reminds me of AMD Vs Intel battle. AMD was cheaper and better value for a lot of years till they were lagging behind Intel on performance. But the moment they attained parity with Intel with their Zen CPUs, they also started pricing their CPUs higher than Intel and also completely abandoned the low end market. Intel’s cheapest 12th gen CPU is currently more than 20% cheaper than AMDs cheapest Ryzen 5000 series CPU here in India.
