I can hear it when I read it

I think the reason for consoles was, you pay X dollars (normally the same price as a decent video card), and you are guaranteed that any games that come out with it works. All you have to do is plug it up to a TV with HDMI and boom, working video game box with smart capabilities. It is/was a good idea, but I’m guessing MS is looking back at their Xbox One always online days and say you can hook up this $100 cloud base console and stream your games (that you pay a subscription for) with little to no degradation. Honestly they could go so far as offering it alongside select or premium TV brands, they are already doing that with LGs. The next battle will be game ownership, Ubisoft has already started that battle. Looking bleak, may be pulling out the old pirate hat

Nothing like wasting my money buying digital Xbox since Xbox One days to have it turn into a subscription based company. I’ve enjoyed my Xbox, but really sucks. Still hopefully, but highly doubtful they will continue to make consoles. I’m guessing sub and cloud base allowing access on PS and Nintendo. Good for them, but no reason to keep on supporting Xbox. Move on over Sega, Atari, and whoever else, another one coming aboard

I am fairly sure Dump will win. I’m already prepping my brain for 4 years of idiots, scheming, sexism, racism, and all hail God. I’m sorry everyone, we have a lot of raging dumb idiots here

I hope he wins and sues the school but mainly the principal into the ether. Good for him and his family for supporting him

I highly doubt it will be under 30k. I’m guessing Musk will say due to inflation, but we’ll see. An under 30,000 EV that isn’t garage would be a pretty big game changer assuming it will have an actual real world mileage over 215 miles

This was super cool, I made some as well

I’m sure the Tesla shareholders will be so pleased with this change. Rivian won’t even need to make a decent R2 to have customers move over, Elon continues to keep screwing things up. He needs to stop and take a back seat on everything, mans an idiot when it comes to most changes/ideas

I’ve had my Series X since the first year on its side in my basement (nearish to woods). Nearing completion Starfield it started freezing badly. I followed TronicsFix walkthrough for cleaning which resolved it. https://youtu.be/dKJ2ATvKKAs?si=az954-g_NrhiaC_e

I’m guessing maybe the smoke might be clogging it, but depending maybe look at redoing the thermal paste. I didn’t do that for mine when I cleaned, but maybe (normally thermal paste is good for a long while).

If you go with the cleaning, definitely get some Dust off. Hope you get it working, maybe put it on its side and further away from the wood stove if possible and on a solid surface

Definitely will be voting Democrat next year, I switched from Independent to Democrat because of Trump during the last election. I’m hoping the Dems will win, but I’m not sure. Gut feeling is saying Trump will win and the US will be another shit show for the next 4 years (possibly much longer depending on how Republicans deal with “their democracy”)

Some of the stores by us today have their keyhole glued so no one can get in

Baldur’s Gate 3 is for me and should be game of the year. No one was expecting it to be as great as it is, received hate from some Devs saying it’s unreasonable to make such a good game and has ton of replayability

This was one thing I really enjoyed with buying a Tesla. 0 pressure to buy, did a test drive. Went in and purchased afterwards with no extras, markups, or dealer exclusive garbage. Was a great buying experience. I’m sure Rivian and the other EV only brands are just as easy and great

I’d say watch both videos, Muta’s video is a little more in depth, but it is just odd to hold onto the money for so long. At least they aren’t spending it on nonsensical things, but if they get audited, that will be a big problem with how they filled out their taxes. I’m hoping for the best though, I do like Jirard and I can’t imagine how it is with your parent/family going through that

I watched both of the videos, it sucks. I like him as a YouTuber, but it sounds like they are about to get in a lot of trouble even if the IRS doesn’t do an audit. Very odd they just say on the money, I’m sure they’ll be donating it within the next few weeks

Could be interesting but depends on how it is trained. I know there are hundreds of people that spend hours just chatting with GPT, if trained correctly it could create some very interesting main/side quest characters. Just have to wait and see, not a bad thing since it seems AI is “the thing” at the moment

You know, I was thinking the same thing. Like sure, I’m not for Republicans, but if they could at least get someone who actually cares about what it means at the core to be a Republican and work for the people and want small Gov, then sure. But here we are yet again, they continue to be an embarrassment. That party is a joke and has been for some time now

5k? What a loser, that Judge should throw it up to 200k and state if it happens again it will include jail time. Why does everyone walk on eggshells with these idiots, I don’t care who it is, fine them and jail them

Considering all my management besides my direct manager is remote, blows my mind that my coworkers and myself need to be in. I work in IT
