The US has a problem of representation. Specifically and especially since the Citizens United decision, corporate interests can easily flow money towards politicians to make them do just about anything they want. This exacerbated an existing problem with the corporate tax rate and has now brought it into laughably low territory.
That’s all an oversimplification of course, but it’s not that Americans haven’t “figured it out”. It is far more complicated than that.
I had a 93 Ranger and I miss it a lot. It had an aftermarket moonroof that also leaked like a sieve, but man I loved that little truck. Good size for actual utility.
I rolled it years ago, unfortunately.
Yes – and just to add, many of the console AAA exclusives aren’t “exclusive” at all, because a significant number end up on PC anyway. They’re only exclusives if you’re in the PS/XB bubble. (Switch is a standout because Nintendo)
This is a good point, but I think in 5 years, it won’t be a thing on consoles either.
But friendly reminder: games are almost always cheaper on PC. Maybe not at first, but very quickly.
Yes, and he still lost handedly. That extra time was all rambles and nonsense. I think in the end it was better.
(Yes, I still would have preferred they muted him, ultimately).
Maybe you have just ended up with a lemon CPU. Though for random crashes like that, I’d almost always look to RAM first.
I did have some stability issues early on when trying to enable Expo. Never quite got that working right so it is currently disabled. I keep my 7600x in Eco mode since it is air cooled and the performance difference is not that great anyway, so I haven’t noticed any major differences with Expo off.
The Expo issues were also with a very early MSI BIOS. I haven’t tried it again after upgrading, but I probably should.
Unfortunately not.
My AM5 has been pretty good, the boot issue notwithstanding. It has been quite stable at least. For me it’s a 7600x.
…yeah, I’m an idiot. I hadn’t thought very carefully about it yet. Won’t help me since the delay is before POST.
Gotta keep that labor pool large so wages can stay low.
Boot times on AM5 are soooo slow due to some memory training feature of DDR-5, even after following many suggestions for settings. It appears to be a general issue with the platform, so hibernation is very much back on the menu for me.
Duh, it won’t matter since the delay is before POST.
Well now that I know I’m not alone I can feel more confident when the next great buy comes out.
It’s meant for whom, exactly?
I started my Steam account in 2004(?) because it was required to do so even though I bought the DVD-ROM version of HL2. Imagine my rage when it also forced me to update – I was on dial-up at the time.
The Office (US). I’ve seen them all a million times but there’s still enough to distract my mind. It’s using the ubiquity of all the one liners and memes to advantage.
I dont hate it. But Crises happening automagically does feel against the typical nature of Civ, where I typically prefer more random events.
It’s more board game feeling.
It does but only because of the default Steam executable. It can be run directly without the launcher.
Elden Ring does run quite nicely on Linux via Proton, though.
Same. It can’t even work correctly when I try and put it into a specific box.
The ultimate issue is a distaste for giving any corporation any control over hardware that I, alone, own.
Sounds like they want a round of layoffs but don’t want to pay severance.
