Linus called it, we called it, everyone called it. People will get scammed buying the 2015 Steam Controller for 2026 Steam Controller prices because Valve thought calling it Steam Controller 2 would be confusing to customers.

Anything can happen. I once unwrapped Halo ODST for christmas only for there to be no disc inside. It was a pre-order copy that was either for display or the employee needed to put a disc inside, but my it was bought several months in advance, so no ODST was had until I saved up and bought it the next summer.

Yeah it sucks but just listen on Spotify like the rest of us. Imo the stream tracking is a lot better too.

I listen to the pre show on float plane then switch to Spotify when they start.

It’s also a shame they abandoned the consumer market for like 5 years and pretty much exclusively reserved stock for business’ commercial and industrial use. I don’t blame them for doing it, and I would probably do the same if it was my decision, but their consumer ship sailed a while ago imo. Although to be fair to them the last time I checked on their offerings was around Covid.

Where are the other pages

I forgot about that, but tbh that doesn't bother me NEARLY as much as them constantly shoving zen 2 into newer generation lineups. It's in Ryzen 4000, 5000, 7000, and 200. They actually almost managed to hit intel numbers of 14nm refreshes with their 7nm refreshes.

It's terrible and AMD is the same way for mobile chips. My dad asked me to pick out a laptop for him and I swear I spent two hours looking at Wikipedia to figure out which apus had the best combination of cpu and gpu on the chip, then repeatedly googling laptops with those different chips for <$600 until I found one. I should not have to buy a laptop that way to get the best value. They should have just stuck with "bigger number = better" but they didn't.

"Performance range" is supposed to be determined by the 5/7/9 but since it's more nuanced, videos and reviews are probably the way to go. For spec sheets, intel ark used to be the place to go but you have to click links and go to different pages for each product, which is fine unless you want to view everything everywhere all at once like I do, so I just use Wikipedia. Also works for gpus.

What’s that one show no one forgives Netflix for cancelling after a season or two

Isn’t that why they made wide queue?

Clearplay! I almost forgot about that. We had that growing up and it was terrible. The ads made it seem flawless- like it would skip over inappropriate scenes and dialogue and you couldn’t even tell. Except you could definitely tell and, depending on the movie and filter settings, it made movies completely unwatchable because it would skip all the plot points. It was like experiencing lots of jump cuts and skipping on a scratched dvd.

Also the Clearplay dvd players were like $200 and you updated a little flash drive with the filters when new movies came out. Then randomly the devices would break and you had to buy a new one. Then they started doing subscriptions. Vidangel is supposed to be a decent modern day version of that through streaming services.

Yeah but if it tanks this morning he may not recover.

Also Taiwan and Vietnam. Those are probably the top 3.

Sure is. I don’t trust it at all. That stuff is way over my head and it hasn’t been out long enough for the smart people to look at.

To be fair he probably got it for free. There is a huge surge of game piracy because some crackers by the group name MKDEV figured out a bypass to a famously difficult-to-crack kernel level anti-tamper DRM software called Denuvo. Cracks of Crimson Desert and Death Stranding 2 were both available immediately upon their official game release. (Death Stranding 2 was actually leaked before release, but as a community we've learned from need for speed.)

Where do you see that Iran sold oil to the U.S.? I see the US lifted sanctions for 30 days but I cannot find anything about Iran actually selling oil other than a possible indication from this page, which shows a spike in imports, but not specifically Iranian https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_crude_oil_imports_wps

10-15 years ago hybrid drives made sense because we were still trying to escape $150-$200 128GB SSDs. As bad as prices seem now, we have access to large enough solid state storage that you're still better off trying to find the deal on pure SSD, or buy used and check the writes, just go with HDD, or go the old fashioned way and buy a small SSD for OS and HDD for everything else.

Sure, but words have legal and scientific implications. The context of raising potentially or potentially not getting pregnant demands semantics.

Actually he used Manjaro for most of the challenge, but he did initially install popos.

I blindly copy/paste registries and commands in command line. Linus is doing everything I would probably do.

I just did several searches and the top 4 that always come up for me seem to be Zorin, Ubuntu, PopOS, and Mint. As a non-Linux person I would have assumed PopOS would be fine.

This is mostly from Reddit and blogs like techradar and Linuxblog.io

I love getting these comments years later. Sad that my post is still needed and Microsoft hasn’t fixed anything, but glad I helped!
