I got some weird reverse vertigo looking up from the inside when I was there, it was insanely high. Incredible place though.

iPad / tablet, and applying for jobs can easily be done on a phone. My wife works at a high school - half the kids can't even use a mouse properly,and don't understand minimizing a window etc.

She had to teach someone what the enter button did yesterday..... They were using space bar to get to a new line. I shit you not.

The main issue to solve is kids not having access to a computer at home, whether it be lack of incentive or money. Most people don't even own a laptop anymore, so the only computer time they get is in a school setting.

Once the majority of schools have a system in place for most homework to be done on a PC, then there may be some creative ways to incentivise more PC adoption... again. It's like we've gone back to the early 90s again where only kids who were really interested in computing knew anything about it.

It's not just quality compared with UHD rips, it's things like prime video refusing to play anything except 480p on a web browser.... WTF are they thinking?

I thought the failure rate only went up a lot if you burned at very high speeds? I seem to remember having problems with burning an OS to a DVD too fast.

A fix that worked for me on Cyberpunk dropping in performance after that patch - turn everything to low, restart the game, then change settings back to what they were.

I've been running a 3070 for a few years on Pop OS, zero issues.

I find the best way if you're on a budget is to have a small collection of 4k movies, with an even smaller rotation of new 4k movies - then have everything else at 1080p x265. Still want at least 8TB ideally, so down the NAS rabbit hole we go..

I use it because I'm more comfortable with working with it under the hood than Windows (day job experience). It's also less of a PITA when it comes to bloat, updates (not just OS, general software too) and telemetry.

I did use Windows on my desktop until about a year ago to be fair, as I didn't feel gaming was quite good enough - but after trying again it's brilliant now. No reason to ever go back.

Plenty of people out there spend more money just on soap and diffusers, than you or I make in a year and a half, lol

I don't even use a computer, I just hunt fish

I'm finding the sync experience far nicer than Jerboa so far, not surprised. Jerboa fails to load comments half the time and I get errors constantly that stop content refreshes.
