    I have five PS5 discs from around launch. Gifts. It is such a pain finding them and putting them in only to download a patch anyway. I’d sell them but I don’t want to perpetuate th…

    Sony has the numbers. If most people weren’t already digital only then they wouldn’t have pulled the trigger. This is a vocal minority fighting an already lost fight.

    As someone who hasn’t purchased physical media in over a decade I find the current tempest in a teapot rather comical. My home is cozy, not large. I don’t want physical media takin…

    The commit logs over the last few months have highlighted when an issue was found by a program. They usually name the submitter and the tool.

    I already own Dark Souls 3 but were I to purchase it again I’d still pick PlayStation over eBay. Even at this price point. I get I’m not the average consumer but I have money and d…

    If you aren’t rebooting a Linux box 15 to 30 times per year then you aren’t applying kernel security updates. I view uptime fanatics as walking security problems and assign an appr…

    I don’t like Taylor Swift music. My not liking it has no bearing on her obvious talent in the industry. I get people not liking GTA. Ignoring their obvious talent is silly.

    I have no interest in maintaining a gaming PC but want to play indie games that don’t launch on console. I also have money. I’ve been considering it.

    That is cool. I use a gps NTP server on my home network and live with sub-millisecond time sync. I’d go PTP but the equipment is a bit too expensive if the only value add is better…

    I use it for home router, my laptop, several vms for various services, and on one vps I keep around should I need to quickly set something up. I keep a proxmox server for anything …

    It is amazing to me that people still answer their phone. If it isn’t my wife or kids then my phone has a silent ringtone. If your voice mail doesn’t successfully transcribe to tex…

    I can only imagine this passing their “QA” because every dev there uses AI for every commit and therefore saw no issue.

    Owing tax each year instead of overpaying solves this problem. As long as it’s less than $1000 you won’t pay any interest or fees.

    Everyone is very, very wrong about something. By your logic we should ignore everyone about everything.

    I’m going to guess no one responding to me has actually tried connecting to an IPv6 only network because it works without incident. Will your apps? Who knows - apple hasn’t always …
