Because it's in a genre that has no good alternatives?

EVE is spreadsheet simulator, Elite Dangerous is space-truck simulator, NMS is all planets not space, StarField is StarField.

The only viable alternative I found was X4. Even that is slightly different from what Star Citizen promises (it's more empire management than solo flying in the endgame, vanilla balance is also questionable: you can "luke skywalker" a destroyer with a scout with pure dogfighting skills)

No. He was a misogynistic piece of crap that wrote morally questionable material that was also disrespectful to his assistants, illustrators and fans.

Allegedly, the "good" and the "kind" were stolen during the Great Battle of the Terry's, where one Terry used the "good" to build a Temple, while the other Terry with a meteor sword used the "kind" to empower actual quality fiction.

Pretty sure the NSA doesn't want the recovery key, they want the information the recovery key is protecting.

Epub is also a super easy format to script with, allowing easy parsing of webpages to ebooks.

My suggestion is to get a device that can do the stuff kids want, but just barely do the things they want.

I probably spent more time tinkering around the family computer than anything else as a kid just to get games way over-spec to run on it. Throughout that process I learned programming, hex editing, and some Linux system administration, which eventually led me to my current career.

These days, it's probably a lot easier to get started with a raspberry pi. But without something to motivate people to learn tech, why would they do it in the first place?

"But what if they start putting fries in my ports? I can't have fries without any ketchup!"

I must be dumb cause I still need 3 tries to plug in a HDMI/DP port.

USB B takes 6 tries: first three times in a RJ45 port, then 3 more after realizing I've been messing with the wrong port all this time.

VMs, containers, and running make -j (yep, that's right, -j without specifying the maximum number of parallel jobs)

I'm not familiar with the topic but couldn't they cut straight to the source and directly contact Corning? Or alternatively, one of those Chinese high end OLED knock offs? I've heard they're basically less than 1 generation apart in terms of quality.

edit: alternatively, I assume all cables/connectors are standard. What's preventing Jim next door from starting a group buy to manufacture replacement OLED screens/upgrade kits?

Don't have a steam deck, but what I used to do on Linux when upgrading drives is just dd the old drive over. Sure it's inefficient as hell, but with pcie 4.0 speeds You're looking at 20 min to make a byte-for-byte copy of your old 1 tb drive, which you can then extend your partitions to make them bigger.

So does openbox /s
