Not even just parents though.

It also punishes people who go on vacation for a week, have a power outage, get engrossed by a different game, suffer any kind of longer term medical issue, etc. There are dozens of reasons someone could stop playing for a while.

It’s really a bullying mechanic that forces players to keep playing the game for fear of losing their stuff. People should be coming back because the gameplay is fun, not because of the threat of lost progress.

The mechanic would be much more appropriate if it were tied to actual time signed in to the game. I was looking forward to this game and was already going to wait for more polish anyways, but as long as this mechanic exists in its current state I’m completely turned off of it.

This new system does not involve logging in to another machine with credentials. You send an invite, they accept.

Just got admitted to the closed beta a few weeks back and have been absolutely loving it :]

This is everything I want from a gamified step counter with none of the things I don’t want!

Looking forward to push notifications to help me remember to queue up the next activity when the last one is complete

Thank you so much for making this!

Beautiful, I was just thinking about playing through this again!

Hopefully this paves the way for an easier Conker decomp too :)

I have a gaming PC with an R7 5800X and an RTX 3080 hooked up to a 38” Ultrawide monitor

Since I got my Steam Deck, the PC setup mostly collects dust. Being able to lay on the couch and play games while watching TV shows with my SO became a lot more appealing than going into another room to sit upright at a desk. Games in bed while watching Saturday morning cartoons? Yes please!

As far as games are concerned, the majority of things run at acceptable framerates. For the exceptions, you can always stream from a PC over the network and the battery life is incredible when you play that way. This also applies to games with restrictive anti-cheat.

It’s not, but it is one of the best single player campaigns I have ever played.

My partner and I often play through single player games together in tandem, waiting for one another at each checkpoint.

There is a co-op PvE mode if that’s your speed.

“Any time” is quite absolute and is not always true.

If all you’re doing is playing an esports games like CS:GO, you’ll have no benefit between 16GB and 32GB.

Ryzen’s infinity fabric scales with memory frequency, so there is CPU performance that can be left on the table in that case. Those in pursuit of high and stable framerates (like in esports) will have better results with high speed, low latency memory.

In the end, context is key and use case absolutely matters.

All of the apps are distributed through the Microsoft Store, including iTunes.

Apple’s webpages used to also include links for the regular .exe/.msi installers, but that hasn’t been the case for quite a while now.

Apple is adding the Passwords app to iTunes for Windows

Huh. Seems like an odd choice, I would have expected it to be part of iCloud for Windows, iCloud.com, or maybe a browser extension.

For HR, I think you’re good to go the way that it is. Hopefully you have the Director’s Cut - they removed the awful yellow filter that the game originally launched with.

You should, it’s quite powerful and can work in tandem with both DMDE and UFS Explorer!

Power cycling the drive reboots and reinitializes it. I’ve mostly seen it with SSDs - you get a few dozen MB worth of reads before it drops out, unplugging and reconnecting a SATA power connector that many times would be real tedious so you automate it with a relay.

I own a repair shop and use USB to SATA adapters all the time. Sector scans, imaging/cloning, and booting live environments.

It has less to do with the medium and more to do with the quality of your chosen adapter.

I have one of the adapter you pictured, ordered it to test it out because it was comparatively low cost. Did not order more.

I have about a dozen of the Sabrent adapters and they see daily use.

USB can actually be ideal in some data recovery scenarios. HDDSuperClone / OpenSuperClone support a relay mode that turns a disk off and back on to regain access after they drop out, and that is reliant on a USB connection.

Vibration is a pretty big one

I don’t understand why you were downvoted for asking this question. I’ve literally watched techs cause this damage by trying to open the lid with the back cover screws removed.

Most laptops have at least one screw on each side that goes through both the back cover and the hinge. If the hinge is normally affixed with 3 screws and you open the lid with one missing, each mount is taking on that extra stress.

Best practice is to reinstall those screws before opening the lid with the back cover removed.

The one I have been using successfully for the last 2+ years is made by “Carlinkit”

Every now and then, it will take a long time or outright fail to pair, requiring that I power cycle it. Happens maybe every 2-3 weeks, I average 2-4 pairings per day.

Otherwise, the experience is mostly seamless.

pre-7th gen i5’s

I’ve got systems with second and third gen i5s that are handling Windows 10 just fine, seems like what the school really needs is some SSDs.

Linux would definitely run better, so that’s worth it too.

If this school is heavily embedded im the Google ecosystem, ChromeOS Flex is an option. FydeOS is similar but without the Google Account requirement.

What’s uniquely “proprietary” about Apple’s hardware that distinguishes it from a Dell or Lenovo PC?

Well, for starters, they design their own A_X_ and M_X_ silicon. When they were using Intel x86_64 silicon, the T_X_ security coprocessors were also custom / proprietary.

Consoles are all using custom AMD APUs that are still x86_64 based, so they have more in common with a Dell/Lenovo PC than anything Apple makes. Apple’s entire hardware lineup is about as proprietary as it gets.

Gotta wonder how much of the author’s amazement stems from the fact that they weren’t really into VR before. Most of the experiences they described have been around since 2016.

Windows 10 EOL is not until October 14th, 2025
