You forgot that invidious still lets you watch videos age blocked fine. Gokunaru for instance just made a q & a a few days ago and I watched it on invidious
I wouldn't go nearly that far. Wine allows for running of most games, and the rest are usually always online multiplayer games. Even with the ones that work usually have hitches and quirks to figure out. Linux can't even do general windows apps that well, the only reason gaming is at the point it is is because most if not everyone who'd run linux wants to play games. Making Linux out like this miracle system is blind support
You can do pretty much anything on the wii. It was so successful and so easy to crack and mod that it's got everything you'd want, including virtual console injections
I got Sennheiser 300 S earphones at least a year and a half ago and they don't show any signs of deteriorating. They cost 50 euro, double what standard throwaway earphones cost here from any old shop.
Yes they're not an audiophile's wet dream or anything, but they sound way better than the throwaways. Great amount of bass and top end, with a little more top end than bass but not at all tinny or noticeable in any way.
To buy anything good to last nowadays you have to go a bit higher than the standard. That's just the world we live in, and wired are the same.
This is in clear response to the right of repair movement. That devices should be able to be repaired and schematics to be given to repair centres. Most people don't care, but when repairing is cheaper than a new device the majority of people will support it passively. The only reason it isn't cheaper now is from efforts to reduce repairability.
Also, for those who do care and understand about repairing computers, they'll support that company more.
Oh and on the computer support thing, they'll always be people who'd rather call someone than to try figure out the problem by theirselves. That's never gonna change no matter what happens in the industry.
That's because too much power overloads the power wires. You can only get that by making surplus, and when surplus occurs a lot of that power is lost from overload. And before you say to upgrade the wires, that would cost a lot of money and be an infrastructural nightmare.
In Ireland, old phone boxes are being fitted with defibrillators, especially in more rural towns and villages. I believe it happens in towns in the UK as well. There's plenty boxes here from before the eircom and vodafone days that look very traditional with Fón painted on, these are the main ones being converted. I don't think wifi points happen here.
Everyone's brains operate the same from a basic view, but have very different details. We all think in different ways, we all experience life differently. We just apply similarly understood terms that make it seem like it's all the same. Who knows how varied our actual consciousness is.
Sounds like an interesting idea, had a little look on the site, but gut feeling is something's fishy here.. and it's not the water. Just something about it rubs me the wrong way.
I've got to say, that 4th paragraph is, or at least should be, the modus operandi of every scientist in any related field.
>In this style of work, the researcher is allowed, and even required, to select problems for investigation, without having to justify their relevance for the institution, and without negotiating a set of objectives with management. The value of the research is determined by other scientists, again without looking for its immediate effect on the bottom line of the employer. The assumption that justifies such a policy is that "scientific progress on a broad front results from the free play of free intellects, working on subjects of their own choice, in the manner dictated by their curiosity."
It's sad the current state of science doesn't appreciate the work done purely through curiosity, and instead want to milk professionals for other means and agendas. The paragraph sheds a light on what science really is, and what's kept fueling it for millenia, curiosity. Some of the greatest scientific discoveries have come from curiosity in answering burning questions. Yes we still have some great discoveries, but not as much now I would think. Most of what science today seems to be is just proving or disproving agendas with clear incentives. There are some that seem to be born out of organically produced work, but it's hard to know because who knows the incentives and agendas behind the scenes.
With us humans, yes we're social creatures but if there's no social environment directly outside our window and we get on with getting our needs met, then we do fine alone and find comfort in it.
It's like what happened to many during our isolation lockdown, at least for me and what I saw. Having a shorter temper in males I related to as well. If you're not socialising, you have less of a tolerance for communication with others and get tipped off more easily because you want to go back to the comfort of being by yourself.
Only reason you'd socialise and communicate more often is from pressure to do so, whether it be self inflicted or external factors. For example, when going through depression I was a hermit and only near the end did I feel pressure from myself to do more, and only then did breaking out of that isolation shell occur.
I have a feeling I'm not making myself clear, but I can always clarify.
