Ublock origin + sponsor block makes YouTube entirely watchable and you don’t have to fund this horrible company

Wow a dedicated line is serious commitment. But yeah ultimately when you’re connecting to servers on the other side of the world there’s not a lot you can do.

I gave up sim racing online after a crash and seeing the other players replay of the crash. I didn’t think I was at fault but because of the lag, I totally was.

My ping from Australia to Europe was just too much in order to ensure others could have a safe race. When everyone else has 20-40 ping and I’m racing with 150+ it’s just too much lag to be safe on the track

Except self checkout isn’t faster. The professionals that check you out do this every day, they’re way faster than me.

Not to mention 100% of the time I use self checkout, the machine doesn’t realize I’ve put something in the bagging area and I need a staff member to sort out the broken machine, but because there’s 1 staff member doing this for a dozen machines, they’re constantly busy sorting out these broken machines so you often have to wait minutes for them to fix it.

I’ve been using it as a workshop but I don’t use it nearly enough to justify so repurposing it to be an art studio for my wife, as well as a VR space for me that i can have my racing sim rig setup. Also planning on building a VR pinball cabinet.

I’m building a dedicated windows VR gaming PC that can live in my shed so I don’t have to dual boot windows to use my racing sim.

Yes Linux and proton have come a long way, and for the most part is more than good enough. But for certain things (like my HP Reverb G2, or proprietary sim racing hardware drivers) it’s just easier to pirate windows

Why spend several hours with friends when you could spend an hour alone on a jet

Incredibly impressed with that sear considering the middle didn’t get above room temperature

Everytime I want to do something that I can only do in windows, I really have to consider if it’s worth dealing with windows to do it.

Kinda seems like capitalism has been that second image for most of my adult life

I miss using my old lg phones, I had the v30, v40, and v50 and they were basically perfect. Now when I shop for phones it’s like looking for the least bad option

Microsoft urges me to use a different operating system
