Don’t forget that games are significantly cheaper on PC, especially if you wait for the first sale (which’ll come much quicker on PC). The upfront cost is indeed higher, but depending on how many games you buy you’ll probably recoup that cost within one console generation.

Consent-O-Matic is a massive timesaver and works great on mobile. Not sure if you can install it directly these days, I use my own collection.
It definitely does matter. Some games effectively pay Valve about 15%, which basically nullifies Sweeneys whining since it’s roughly the same they’d pay on the Epic store.
You’re right about Steam being the dominant game store, but the narrative around it is all wrong. Steam offers far more functionality for their cut than any other competitor could even come close to.
Absolutely love this game. Played it from beginning to end on the PC multiple times over the decades. The original floppy version that is, not the poncy CD version he’s using! 😂
30% is the cut only if the sale happens on Steam itself. Devs can sell keys through other means and Valve gets 0%.
btop has GPU stats in recent versions.
Good on you for getting it fixed. One of the reasons Linux is a great OS in my opinion is that everything is in the file system and not in some arcane hidden thing. So every problem is solvable without a reinstall if you’re motivated enough to figure it out.
Not sure what you have against minimum wage, it works well in other countries (I’m from the Netherlands). Obviously it doesn’t solve everything by itself, but it’s definitely a valuable part of a range of measures to treat people fairly. It’s a fantasy that everyone can be educated to a level above minimum wage.
Kernel panics are pretty rare though, I’ve had a lot more bluescreens than kernel panics in my life. If you want to criticise Linux for being complicated go right ahead but implying that it’s unstable is a really weird take IMHO.
You should seriously consider a flip phone if pocket size is your main concern. They’ve become really good by now.
Oh I agree with your post, but I was responding to Valmond who used different criteria.
It wasn’t an official statement from Valve, it was a reply to a support request. People are reading way too much into this.
You can have all three of those, but you won’t get great performance. The Samsung QVO SATA drives are a great example. I wouldn’t use those for an OS drive but they’re fantastic for NAS or media use.
My i3 has an OBD-II port, and it’s not the only EV that has one. Bimmercode can change A LOT of vehicle settings through the port, and software like ABRP can use it to read out the battery level and route you to the next charger when needed.
If everything went fine during production you’re probably right. But there have definitely been batches of hard disks with production flaws which caused all drives from that batch to fail in a similar way.
Proof of stake gets around the electricity usage. Of the chains that are still big it’s really only bitcoin and it’s derivatives that still use a lot of energy.
I think the kinks have been worked out. Samsung is on it’s fifth generation of foldables already and Motorola has made multiple as well that haven’t been released in the states. No idea about the custom ROMs though.
Thunder has experimental support, haven’t tried it yet though (says it costs extra battery)
