Jealousy and envy.

Magnetic portable battery packs are fantastic too.

Literally every flagship pixel up until the 8 or so has had major issues lol. The 7 series are all having batteries start swelling, causing Google to offer refunds lol.

You literally could not have chosen a worse brand to suggest on this topic 🤣

The one in a M4 Mac Mini, as expensive model as you consider “budget”. Won’t get better than that.

All……that……because Sora can create funny videos that people ask it to 😂

At what resolution? What settings?

You definitely didn’t build an i9 + 5080 gaming PC for $1400, given a 5080 can cost more than that by itself.

You can’t really control costs any more than you can with buying a “prebuilt” these days, unless by “controlling costs” you just mean skimping out on something massively.

Just beware the Linux and Nvidia GPUs don’t go together well.

Looks like a very good pc tbh. There’s next to no point in building your own pc anymore, as pc building shops can build and sell them cheaper than you can buy the parts, and you get a warranty.

It’s ……not.

It’s always that way until something big goes wrong though, then you’ll wish you had insurance. Home and contents, health, pet, car - they’re a waste of money until the very thing that you need them for happens.

Can’t. Legally.

Which industries take companies source code and hold it hostage in case the company goes bankrupt? Which software?

Who, Sony or Nintendo?

And when they have to give it away for 0c a kw for 3 hours, they’ll charge you 45c a kw every other hour of the day.

Plus a daily smart meter fee. Plus a daily free electricity fee. Plus a daily VPP fee.

Co-op, duels, and “invasions” lol. Not what we’re talking about here. Elden ring is a single player game for all that any one cares or knows.

We’re definitely not talking about co-op when anyone says multiplayer.

That’s a lot of “it possibly could, but it never has happened with huge reputable billion dollar companies”. Also seems like an AI generated list, or copied from Wikipedia? If that’s the best you can find, yeah there’s no issue.

No one should be giving some random anti-cheat program made by who knows who kennel level access, but one by EA? Fine. EA aren’t in the business of getting bankrupted by installing rootkit malware with their video game anti-cheat.

Calling anti-cheat “spyware” is dumb.

SDR content looking bad when HDR is enabled, especially just the desktop and basic OS, has been a thing for years on windows. Guessing you either didn’t actually have a real HDR monitor, or just didn’t realise it shouldn’t look like what it did.

Cloud-based use of AI doesn’t mean that they use your data for training or anything either - if you’d spent even 2 minutes looking at copilot in Windows you’d know this. On device or in cloud, you have privacy settings that control it.

Maybe, but that’s not at all relevant here.

He’s not getting paid a trillion a year - he’s getting paid $0. They pay you $1mil a year and go nowhere good. They pay him nothing and if they hit goals people say are impossible he gets a trillion.

Is this your first time reading about the stock market? It’s all about “hype” and “bubbles”.

Teslas are still the gold standard of EVs. They’re not the cheapest, but they’re what everyone wants.
