To make it easier to download and use I imagine.

Don’t most Linux distributions not enable full disk encryption by default? How would that have improved the situation in this case?

Nitro Express

AT&T is the one with the device-specific whitelist. Verizon doesn’t have a specific model white/blacklist but it does have lower compatibility because of the bands they support.

Jurassic Park Trespasser

I guess it’s some sort of sick performance art by showing that even though the >90% voted no AI, DDG will still have AI turned on by default in its main site and corral the >90% into the hidden away subdomain.

It probably would have been more reassuring to get stronger protection guarantees on the teacher’s side. Unless the plan was for the teacher to slot in as the punchable feedback loop until they eventually “get him back on track”?

I believe the right text is 頭巾, so “頭巾は私のおともだち。私に安らぎを与えてくれるの” something like “this hoodie is my friend, it comforts me”

If your big issue is just getting back into mainstream support, you can try looking for a 7600, since RDNA 3 is just one generation removed from the latest. You’ll have to undervolt or limit power and you’ll be stuck with 8GB on that budget but you’ll probably receive software support for slightly longer than the RDNA 2 6600/6700.

What is your current card? The RX 6600 is comfortably within your requirements but has just 8GB of RAM, and the RX 6700 is just at the edge or slightly outside of your budget with 10GB of ram, which you could probably make work if you find a good deal and undervolt it. On Nvidia’s side there’s the 3050 8GB and 3060 12GB.

It’s probably a reference to this surreal meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2904243-awesome-lesbian-couple-evil-and-intimidating-horse

Marketing campaign in the 90s. The marketing campaign was launched because market research discovered that there was already a sizable customer base of lesbians though.

Based as hell

I can’t blame anyone for thinking that. I guess I am saying that the situation would certainly be worse if these games were natively built for any other operating system.

The situation in linux is coincidentally better by these games not being native linux builds, which lets users choose older WINE compatibility environments without impacting the rest of the system, I suppose.

Unfortunately the games that use these problematic copy protection methods have unreliable cracks (if they are cracked at all). Off the top of my head MGS5, Judgment, and FF15 all have cracks that are outdated and break with each major Windows update, which is not a good situation with respect to the PC platform’s reputation for game longevity.

None of the games after the 2020 rebranding have been cracked, with the notable caveat being Yakuza LAD, which was not cracked but is available DRM-free on GOG

modern yakuza games, for example, will all be digital paperweights on pc as soon as the denuvo online activation servers go down. ps5 copies will still work as long as there is a functioning console and a functional disk.

I don’t use macbooks very often because I don’t own one, but whenever I do I can’t believe that the trackpad doesn’t actually move. Whatever combination of pressure sensitivity and haptics they have crammed in there is nothing short of amazing.
