Win 7 64-bit handily beats any distro of Linux at .69% (nice). Comparing only to 32-bit isn't a fair comparison. Not that I'm against using Linux, I use Pop_os on a spare computer as a Linux test bed for gaming.

I watched the video and what they showed certainly looks impressive. The level of detail in actions, variety of gameplay, immersive first person perspective, and visual details all look good. I hope the game looks and plays as good as what's shown and actually releases sometime soon, but I'm not holding my breath. Even if you ignore all the baggage the game has, gameplay trailers to games still in development are lies more often than not. I stopped following the development like 8 years ago, now it's off my radar until it actually releases.

You don't even need photoshop. Just use the inspect function in your browser and edit the values directly in the HTML. Free and much easier to not fuck up the formatting.

Yeah, which is why you shouldn't use strong household cleaners around kids, and should only use it with proper ventilation and a respiratory device if warranted. And smoking is bad, don't do it around your kids.

And I can understand why when you abuse the word "literally" like that. What you mean is that she's figuratively Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter. /s

It may be more difficult than a relatively static price, but if they can figure out how to charge it, they can figure out how to display it. Any ISP sites I've used have you put in zip code anyway to view services. There's no reason they can't set it up to show the exact fee rates per area. I know you said you're not defending them, but "it's hard" isn't really an excuse.

If I already had a Tesla I don't know that I'd sell it because of him, but he was one of the major factors in me not even considering them when I was shopping for my EV. The other reasons being shoddy quality control, shitty practices, and dumb design decisions. All of which probably stem from him anyway.

When I bought my house the previous owners didn't want their old printer and asked if we wanted it. I said sure, figuring if it was crap I can just get rid of it. It's a 14 year old Brother laser printer and I'm never getting rid of it. It's big, it's got no wifi, can only scan to USB or an FTP server, and (obviously) only prints in black and white. But I'll be damned if the thing doesn't just work without any fuss. You turn it on, hit print and it fucking prints. No fade lines or misprints because you haven't printed in 3 months.

My old inkjet sits in a closet now collecting dust. Fuck dealing with ink that dries up and constantly needs to be changed or cleaned.

You're not wrong, but I think the above poster was sarcastically pointing out that people who believe that the government is highly coordinated and competent don't trust the government to run healthcare because it's too uncoordinated and incompetent. Both incredibly strong and also laughably weak.

The critic vs audience score divide is pretty telling for some movies. Ant-Man: Quantumania and both Venom movies come to mind as movies that were critically panned but had pretty high audience score. They're nothing spectacular but still dumb fun movies.

You don’t buy a company for their servers or employees

Clearly he didn't buy it for that either, since he chucked those out the window shortly after purchase. Pretty sure he spent billions of dollars to shitpost and create a safe space for nazis.

Stringing them along and wasting more of their time and money was the not a dick option? I'd say that's the be more of a dick option. I'm all for walking out on a shitty job, but it sounds like their worst crime was not giving you as good an offer as somewhere else.
