More than $1000 for a console is absurd, but, my gaming PC plus Steam Link is free and looks great on my 75 inch TV. I don’t have to worry about “backwards compatibility” either because basically my entire library of games is playable.

Sony is making it so easy for Xbox to take the crown again. I really hope Microsoft can follow through and don’t fuck it up, we need competition, not for Xbox to take themselves out of business and turn Playstation into a monopoly.

That’s scary looking but also really awesome.

When will people switch away from Chrome to other browsers? I get it, Chrome sets the standards and it’s hard to switch away from them, but it’s necessary to ensure the survival of the Internet.

That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing, I’ve just been ignoring them. Life is much less stressful when you don’t pay attention to them.

In a sane country, a terms of service doesn’t waive your rights to your legal minimum protections including privacy rights. In USA, I’m not so sure.

I think he’s saying pirate it, maybe?

Yeah I tried increasing voltage, decreasing voltage, resetting BIOS to default settings, etc. I tried everything you could think of but nothing helped.

I did see a post on reddit from someone else with the same MCE hardware errors in Linux that I was getting, with the same random rebooting, and their 5900X ended up dying too.

Bad luck. I started getting random reboots, the reboots started happening more and more frequently. I tried a few kits of spare RAM I had laying around, reboots kept happening. I replaced the PSU with a brand new one because mine was a decade old, reboots persisted. I replaced the CPU on a whim (with an upgrade if it was fine), problem went away entirely, not a single reboot since.

I feel so justified for doubling down on Zen 3, and replacing my dead R9 5900X with an R9 5900XT lol

Don’t scapegoat them, but also don’t let them off the hook. Don’t let them feel too comfortable about being openly evil. People being comfortable about being openly evil is how bad things happen.
