Maybe if you live in an area with mostly SFHs so bugs can’t spread as aggressively? I’d never take furniture off the street. I’d rather sleep on bare floor than deal with bed bugs.

Ps5 pro was released a few days ago. Otherwise why are we even talking about scalpers and availability?

Sure, but you’re comparing apples to oranges. If you personally play older or not gpu intensive games at medium settings, then you can absolutely buy a gpu once every 7-10 years and not be affected by any scalpers. NES emulators are pretty cheap right now :-) You can also get an Intel GPU for under MSRP.

Obviously a hyperbole, but PC gamers looking for latest and greatest were affected much worse than console gamers wanting the latest stuff.

Just the crypto hype alone made it nearly impossible to get a decent gpu for years.

Do you build your own gpus too? Between ML and chip shortage, PC builders were affected much worse than any console users.

Good choice of instance :-)

That’s just demonstrably false. Lots of historical precedent for people losing property, access, etc due to lost or incorrectly filed documents, clerical errors, corruption and a billion other ways. None of this really affects digital assets.

Nonsense argument. It is much easier to forge or steal a paper copy of a document that it is to do so with an equally well protected digital copy.

Vast majority of digital theft is done via social engineering and not through some exploit in the underlying technology.

Show me a screenshot of what your display settings look like please.

I couldn’t even find a place to do it. Only config for display scaling applied or to all monitors. And it requires a restart of kde every time. So either large external screen became unusable or the small laptop screen.

I haven’t used Xorg in years. All my problems are in Wayland.

Great, now please fix per monitor scaling. 4k laptops are unusable when connected to large 4k screens. I need no scaling on large external screen and about 175% on laptop’s 16".

Have you tried glances?

It did not. I think you and OP are feeling this based on anecdotal/singular experience. I can get any old movie I want and am able to download all the latest stuff very quickly using two private trackers. Been on one of them for over a decade and the other one is TL and I hardly ever use TL. 90/10 ratio.

I did block entire hexbear and specific communities on ml. I just meant subjects in general.

As long as your sick to non political or historical communities, they are tolerable. Any deviation from above and you might as well be on hexbear.

I use the same combo on my phone without any issues or ads. Why use a client on the phone?

Where is this?

You mean we will, right? I’m sure he’s protected the same way cops are so taxes will be used to pay for judge’s mistakes while he continues to be a piece of shit without any repercussions.

I used to work in the same industry. We transferred several PBs from West US to Australia using Aspera via thick AWS pipes. Awesome software.

It really isn’t unless they changed since we used it 5 years ago. It just had a microphone and went through several levels of rocking based on how much sound mics picked up. It worked whether it was connected or not. Internet was just for notifications. Your baby screaming is usually a pretty clear notification.
