This is exactly it. The Muskrats, Benzos, and Zuccs of the world want people to think that the future is only on the cloud, because it benefits their business.
The problem with that is that most people are tech illiterate, and will see the cloud as an easy way to just exist with less wires.
Reading comments from people who just do not care whether they own their software, and now hardware, is alarming.
It’s people like us who have to be loud about it.
Blombo solely because of the name.
I didn’t know Bad Bunny was a dude until the whole Superb Owl outrage happened.
I’d rather just pay it once and have it.
Like video games. Just let me pay money for the whole game.
Surprised it didn’t happen sooner.
And on that note, I would absolutely download a car.
Can’t argue with that logic.
If I had done 64 instead of 32, I’d seriously be considering selling 32GB to upgrade my GPU right now.
They helped me get good grades in school from ages 6-16. I also hated how anti-social they made me feel.
I was about to say. I haven’t seen a YouTube ad in a decade between uBlock and Vanced. The updates are immediate.
Only thing is he is very aware of this and has since stopped posting content like that, nearly a decade ago, and has removed any of it from his channel, and never talks about it.
He went overboard, seemingly realized his screw up, and stopped with the gun crap. I wouldn’t be following him if he was still posting the gun stuff, but that was even before I found him in 2017.
Unlike a lot of those kind of gun people, he at least seems self aware. Again, this is only since I’ve started watching his content in 2017. No idea how had it was prior to that.
I thought VR would be more widespread by now.
And it’s probably because of the two next things I thought as well.
I thought it would be cheaper and easier to do by now. More like a Google Glass kind of thing. But we’re still playing 4 figures for dedicated massive headsets to strap to our heads. No wonder it didn’t take off.
And I mean dedicated like the HTC Vive. Not the Quest.
And on that note, the Commodore X16 from The 8 Bit Guy is built from the ashes of what would have been a C64 successor, post 128. Documentation available is extensive. Of course, it doesn’t ship with a spiral bound manual, so I guess it doesn’t even apply, but, ya know. It’s a cool little thing to tinker with.
Sure, but if they’re boomers and still couldn’t make it, I’m not sure what the issue was. The generation that took everything and then pulled the ladder up behind them should be stable in the modern day.
I’m really not trying to be an asshole here, but my experience with this is my girlfriend’s dad. A boomer who lives in his car. He lost his six figure job in the late 90s and then did nothing. He made no effort. He was a horrible father. My girlfriend’s mother died and he STILL never picked his life back up. And now he’s just become a nuisance in our lives. I have absolutely no sympathy for people like that.
Whereas my parents, also boomers of the same age, are retired and looking at finding their final home. All you had to do was keep doing what you’re doing.
Whereas us, now, that’s not good enough, anymore.
It is very hard for me for feel sympathy for the generation that got everything, when my friends and I are struggling to exist, and with decent jobs.
Do they… do they know what the C in CES stands for?
This is why our Minecraft realm is full of half completed superstructures.
This was my issue. The two times I posted real, actual questions that I needed help with, and tried to provide as much detail as possible while saying I didn’t understand the subject,
I got clowned on, immediately downvoted negative, and got no actual help whatsoever. Now I just hope someone else had a similar issue.
Reminds me of the time I walked into my room and my computer, without asking me, was in the middle of updating from Windows 7 to Win10. I took my chances and unplugged it from the wall. Nothing bad happened, thankfully. Then I went in there and removed any notion of Windows Update I could find, short of removing the physical bits from my SSD lol
Huh. TIL. They could have just taken Adderall this whole time. I used to lose so much weight every school year because it absolutely demolished my appetite. Apparently that’s what Adderall was initially created to do. And boy, that’s one of the things it did.
Huh, I’ve only seen dining room tables that could expand using table leafs. The only time I didn’t have that was when I lived away in college because why would we have that if we just ate on the couch lol
Fuck the rest of the admins too while we’re at it.
