I pirate mostly out of convenience, I just want access to whatever media I’m interested in and if there’s a subscription wall between it and me, then more often than not it’s just easier for me to pirate it than bothering to pay for it

I admit I’ve gotten pretty lucky, but so far buying a house has been great for me

I got a brand new car seat for about €150 a month ago, straight off ebay

doesn’t sqlite explicitly encourage this? I recall claims about storing blobs in a sqlite db having better performance than trying to do your own file operations

you know what I do like me some mechanical keyboards but I recently switched back to a run of the mill scissor switch keyboard because I think I like low profile keys more. Now I know there are some low profile mechanicals out there but I’m not sure I care enough to spend the money to get one. I think I’ll give this one a go for a while, maybe I’ll switch back later

Can we have sound cards again, now please?

I’m happy with my FIIO, works great with my beyerdynamics and no separate driver needed

I’ve done worse

they’re on other instances as well

edit: having to go through posts like these and blocking all the invader apologists isn’t fun, but it beats accidentally reading their drivel again

in a sentence, tell me why I shouldn’t add you to my long and growing block list full of tankies

So what’s next?

who knows, but maybe some progress will be made when more modern weapons can be fired from western F16’s. It likely won’t have a huge impact, but every little bit helps

with all invaders dead, captured or back where they came from

ok bye now

aww are you scared of the big bad comedy man? perhaps you needn’t be if russia just skedaddled back whence they came from

a 4 core CPU isn’t going to cut it in 2023 anymore, and anything new that you’d want to upgrade to is going to be bottlenecked by that 1070. You could of course look at used parts if your budget is tight, there are a lot of used (ex-miner likely) GPUs out there that could tickle your fancy and I bet there are plenty of people selling their 8+ core Intel / AMD + DDR4 + motherboard as well to upgrade to DDR5

In Europe you basically have to be handicapped to not learn to drive manual.

That’s changing though, I see many people taking their driving lessons in EVs, which in turn means they’ll only be able to drive automatics. I guess that won’t bother them too much as they’ll probably only want to drive EVs anyway, or else they would’ve chosen to take their lessons in a regular manual like most people

I honestly don’t remember because I was too young. However I do remember growing up on all the classics like Keen, Duke Nukem, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, Rise of the Triad, Test Drive (1 or 2? definitely 2), Street Rod 2. The list goes on

Certainly but it will last longer.

that’s highly debatable if we’re talking about a $600 PC. I mean, yes you can argue that with games on PC you can always figure something out to get acceptable performance, but people in the market to buy a $300 console likely lack the experience, knowledge or time to do that

Yeah but the way the battery and electronics are integrated into the frame is probably the problem here

I still haven’t gotten past the first town in D:OS2
