I looked at a few Lenovo and MS laptops to see what they are charging to jumps from 8 to 16 GB.
They are very close to what Apple charges.
So, they are ALL ripping us off!

I jumped to team red this build.
I have been very happy with my 7900XTX.
4K max settings / FPS on every game I’ve thrown at it.
I don’t play the latest games, so I guess I could hit a wall if I play the recent AAA releases, but many times they simply don’t interest me.

Damn… I think I came on a bit later than that. I don’t recognize the icon of Phoenix so I doubt I made the switch that early on!

Seriously… I’ve never once strayed from Firefox since its release.
I’m forced to use chrome for work and it is crap.

I guess that using safari on iOS devices is one exception, and it isn’t too bad.

As someone in management, health is absolutely paramount and the basic building blocks of creating happy and productive workers.
I have a guy that will soon be taking 6 weeks of paternal leave (sucks I had kids too early to do so myself) and my only requirement of him is that he only thinks of himself, his wife, and his kid.

I said I’d leave and followed through.
Between Spez and their killing of Apollo, I decided to part ways.
It is also really nice here @ Beehaw (thus far) to see that interactions are of a much higher caliber.
I don’t comment a ton, but I have yet to have any negative experiences.
Maybe the “human vetted” application process helps?

Oh yeah… for sure video game developers are getting fucked from ALL angles.
I have throughly instilled in my kids that if they want to get into programming, the gaming industry is NOT where they should look to.
It really saddens me as a lifetime gamer, but it seems like the industry is one of if not the most toxic out there.

Yeah I really called it wrong on my initial comment.
I took a look at my pwned history and it looks like we share a lot of sites.
Quite concerning and now I am at least using a password manager.
I am still on LastPass but am considering others.
It simply “works” in my case though, and I’m not sure how easy it would be to change to a new one so with them I stay.
It sucks that they made it into a “pay to play” if you want full cross platform access, but I use my gaming PC for so few sites that it isn’t a huge deal to just lock my LasPass to iOS.

Thanks!

I stand corrected, with thanks!

Can you please go into the specifics of why you don’t let your kids play Roblox?

I had been avoiding it until a well intentioned relative got my son a Roblox gift card.
It was immediately made clear that I was against the game which created an awkward situation for my relative.
I decided to soften my stance, and use it as a teaching moment.
I explained how the game works and how my son was to use his Robux.
He was to play the game(s) for a certain length of time and then make an informed decision about where to spend his money at.
Of course he spent it on some stupid powerup on a game that he ended up stopping playing some days later.
We used it as a teaching moment for both of my kids and what a waste of money the game is.
I also explained to them how P2W games are predatory in nature, and that I would never personally allow them to pay a single cent into Roblox or any other game.
My son is constantly proud of how he is F2P and always beating all of the P2W noobs.

This reminds me of the site to see if your email address had been pwned or not.
Well, if you looked yourself up, I’ve got some bad news for you….
