Fuck Nintendo. No other company has as much active distain for their fans. And the damage they’ve done to game preservation is immeasurable.

The meme isn’t complaining about auto-updates. The meme is complaining that “Update and Shutdown” doesn’t actually turn off the PC when it’s done updating.

Y’all only have 1 comma in your AWS bills?

NGL as someone with the disability of “not having time for that”, I’ll be filtering by “Save Anytime”.

Also, adjustable text size is huge for handhelds / far away TVs.

I have one child, and I love her so much. I’m very happy we decided to have a child.

However, I’m content with just one child. Even in an ideal situation, raising a healthy child is hard work. It’s extremely rewarding, but the responsibility of shaping another human’s formative experiences shouldn’t be taken lightly.

As the comments on this post (and birth rate statistics) repeatedly hammer home, the state of the world is extremely hostile to having children right now, especially financially.

What the doomers fail to address, is that raising a child provides a unique opportunity to inject the very values we need to fix the world’s issues into the next generation. If you really want kids, it will be one of the hardest, yet rewarding lifestyle changes of your life. If someone is on the fence, it might be better to abstain, but only they can make that decision.

How anyone still trusts that company with literally anything is astounding.

Do people really say this? I’ve literally never had to manually install drivers on Linux. Almost everything is built in to the kernel except NVIDIA drivers, which every distribution I’ve used has an option for in the installer.

Meanwhile, I’ve frequently had to go to a website to download and install drivers on Windows. And then it’s a dice roll if that “driver” trojans an entire suite of bloatware onto your machine.

That’s not very “states rights” of them.

According to archeologists, it was probably obsidian.

Finally, a Steam Deck with ads, telemetry, and probably some stupid AI nonsense.

I hear m/s^3 is a jerk.

 

Disclaimer: I'm referring the the US medical system, but I imagine people in other countries may encounter similar things.

I cannot be the only one who has had this experience, but all my dealings with the medical industry feel like they were refined by a group of psychologists to exploit the weaknesses of those with ADHD.

The volume of calls, appointments, and paperwork I had to full out to get a diagnosis and prescription for treatment is completely unreasonable to expect someone with poor working memory and attention issues to navigate.

Then, to stay on medication, you need to schedule and make appointments with a psychiatrist every month, for the rest of your life, and if you miss a single one, you will run out of meds (and likely charged a fine), which will make it even harder to remember to make the next one. If you miss too many, that psychiatrist will refuse to see you again and you have to go back to your PCP to get a new referral.

Look, I understand that their time is valuable, but this system couldn't be designed any other way to be more accommodating to people who clinically forget things?!

It's like designing a wheelchair ramp that's actually just stairs that are 3x as steep as the regular stairs. Also, if you fall to the bottom, someone takes your wheelchair until you can climb back up.

 

For the curious, this is the Ducky Origin Vintage.

 

I'm configuring a Framework 13, and while selecting the ports, I came across a question that I couldn't determine from the pictures, product pages, or configurator:

Is there a dedicated USB-C port for docking and charging? That is, to say, if I don't choose USB-C for at least one of the expansion ports, will I still be able to plug it in to a USB-C dock? If not, how will I charge the laptop? Is there a dedicated charging port?
