MacOS. Systems doesn’t want to support Linux, and the only other option is windows 11. A few of my coworkers have Win11 with WSL and fight it every single day. They’re diehard windows people who have been seriously considering moving to MacOS for their next round of upgrades.
I think you missed (or ignored I suppose) part of his statement that data caps can reduce overall (across multiple subscribers in an area) used simultaneous bandwidth. People say “I can pull 1Gbit/sec, but I know I’ll hit my cap if I do that perpetually, so I’ll just do short bursts here and there when I need it”. This puts people in the mindset not to push their max data speeds all day/month long. Doing so reduces the possibility that everyone in an area (likely using the same data backbone) will ask for all their speed at the same time. This means that the backbone can be smaller and support a higher number of subscribers.
I completely agree on not having much choice though. And thats really what needs to change in many places.
You used to be able to resell your PC games too, back in the day.
Why can’t PC games also come on discs? The last one I had the option to buy on disc I remember was Skyrim. When I put the disc in, it launched steam, connected my purchase to my account, and steam did the remainder of the install over the network. Turns out, it didn’t really have anything useful on disc.
I’ve had properly stored, professionally pressed, official DVD and CDROM’s suffer bit rot, become in playable and in one case explode into shards in my DVD-ROM drive. And it didn’t take decades, most were <7 years old. Don’t be so sure you have decades.

Well, that’s one way to put it, ‘eh?
The problem is that people won’t move until their audience there and their audience won’t move until they are there.
And mastodon is a bit less straightforward compared to old Twitter.

Should have stuck to being a president… maybe it’d land differently now, but in like 9th grade, it was a total slog.
I bought this months ago right after update 5. Figured I’d get my $20 out of it and move on… now that I’m over 100hrs, they throw this out and I’m back in there making aqua ducts.
Not to mention they opened it up to modding and custom maps, this update added quite a bit. If you like city building management sims this is a must play. I’ve honestly played more of it than City Skylines. Just struck a chord with me.
Likely both of those could be much much smaller for 2024 because it’s just streaming the data so the updates and installation size are smaller since it’s all coming in real time while playing instead of having to be installed before playing.
You joke about the install size, I’m more annoyed at the constant 1-2hr updates preventing me from playing when I have 20 free minutes.
There’s insufficient surge or Mtn Dew in this picture, it’s got to be a photoshop.
And that’s why you get an on demand unit. In either case, heating water in a jug over and over just so it might be hot hen you need it is not a great idea.
Throwing it out there, but https://www.nhc.noaa.gov is hands down the best hurricane tracking site. It’s low Bandwidth, quick, lightweight, legit data backed, and generally the source data for most other weather sites.
WARKWORTH was Wokewarth, am I right?
Considering how long Apple has been putting neural cores in all their chips, and the speed at which their in house chips have outpaced competitors (like the M series for example), I feel like not only will Apple beat nvidia at this, Apple will do so by a decent amount.
That said, nvidia will continue to sell world wide in this market as Apple will keep their chips in only their own hardware, so if you’re not running a Mac/IOS device, you’ll be using nvidia chips.
Either way, even if Apple just keeps up, competition is still best for everyone, so I welcome this development.
Nah, they get “Exposure”!

Does gog have Forbidden West yet?
Currently. Iirc, this is being removed company wide. I know the ones near me recently renovated and no long have customer accessible drink machines.
They don’t have asmany sales, but I’ve definitely scored some good prices on games here and there. They often run 20+% off on first party titles and non-first party gets deep discounts (I scored Rabbids for $4 a while back). I just wish they’d do the equivalent of PS Greatest Hits for like $20.
For some situations a console is nicer than a PC. Solid, consistent, single unit I can just connect to a TV and play. I’ve got a PC and I prefer it, but the average console is cheaper than my PC was and simpler for non-geek family members to boot up and play on a whim.
It’s a support question. It may cost $2k more for a Mac, but if it’s officially supported, auto patched, remote managed and they can prove it with security tools, force patching and restrict users, use standard well known tools for compliance and security monitoring/administration/etc, they will easily save thousands in corp licensing, training costs and legal costs. That $2k+ really becomes negligible.
