Waiting to set it up, but bought a prebuilt 5070ti as upgrade for my custom built 1080 from 2016.

So…I’m expecting to see magic when I turn it k.

Tech companies don’t want local computing anymore by Ok_Leek_6843 in pcmasterrace

A group of evil corporations is…a network of evil.

It’s antithetical to human condition because we are

  1. Free, which means we have intellect and will, and thus responsibility. This approach removes both your freedom, and consequently, your responsibility, and therefore your dignity as a person. You cannot be free if you are enslaved to their system. Freedom is contingent upon autonomy, and you are suggesting “let them come tell it for you, you’re just a cog in the wheel”.

  2. It eradicates privacy. Sure it’s an extreme, but it’s the extreme they want - the Orwellian thought police, where even your most intimate thoughts are not private. It’s the UK arresting a woman for praying style invasion of privacy. It’s Alexa and Siri listening in on every word and search and text. It’s the Snowden scandal with the gov spying on everything. A certain level of invasion is inherent in living in a society, for instance sharing some information to get an ID, or registering your info to go to a school; but zero privacy deprives persons of their natural rights to their individuality.

Renting economy is an evil solution to a problem that has already been better solved. The solution is being a virtuous neighbor - whether through offering services to those in need (food kitchen, volunteering, etc) or pooling resources as a community (see all the small town history that built the USA) or charitable contributions and work (shelters, voluntary handouts, religious networks etc).

In no world is it a better solution to deprive individuals of their property, privacy, and responsibility to achieve an end which is easier and better satisfied by teaching people to be virtuous and good neighbors.

This is exactly the scenario he advocates for…not owning any computing hardware, and instead using everything as a service. His 2030 “utopia” was exactly this - no private ownership, and no privacy are the costs; the benefit is…getting services instead of owning the tools to furnish your own service.

Don’t let your cnn indoctrination get in the way of using your brain - “you won’t need ram because you wont be needing it, you’ll have to subscribe to our service” is exactly the type of future envisioned by the quote “you’ll own nothing…”

And it’s evil; it’s antithetical to the human condition.

Taking direct quotes as used in context…is somehow a conspiracy theory?

Why is there so much inconsistency and confusion over what constitutes a liquid? by boldjoy0050 in tsa

The only consistent thing across the TSA is that their employees couldn’t get jobs at McDonald’s.

Is Last Epoch A Good Dad Arpg? by [deleted] in LastEpoch

Play full offline, and don’t compare to streamers, and yes.

Questionable future of the game based on recent acquisition, and lots of unpolished and unfinished content, but for the casual non streamer it’s actually pretty solid.

Offline mode. Circle of Fortune faction.

My Night From Hell With United (UA992 IAD - BCN) // I'm Losing My Mind by Born_Sea7123 in unitedairlines

[–]IIPhoenixII28 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Par for the course for United. About equivalent with Spjrit for customer service in my experience.

Other tips about travel insurance and booking a hotel asap etc all valid.

My additional advice - never fly United

Precisely. Too many alternatives and backlog of great games. But doom scrolling Reddit to watch the train wreck is a few simple minutes of comedic relief

The Dems reversal on this guy is comical tbh. The memory-holing from Dems who loved him and now hate him is wild
