It’s limited. They give you a free dose at first and expect you to come back for more later.

Also getting tired of people associating the word “quantum” with futuristic or extremely advanced, thinking somehow they will supercharge AI or something.

All it means is the idea that everything is discrete packets of energy, or “quanta”, existing in various fields. It’s a mathematical model to describe what we see. That’s it.

Wat? Don’t you dare talk that way about my favorite multiple personality disorder clusterfuck of a language.

My 30’s were an era of working very hard – and playing hard too. It’s embarrassing, though not criminal, that I probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have earlier in life. I live a different life now.”

Yeah, at 30, I already had a wife, kid, a regular career, and was pretty much set on maintaining a stable lifestyle for the rest of my life. He must have had the mentality of a five year old at 18.

I wouldn’t buy a $500 device where the manufacturer guarantees certain games to work but then doesn’t help me get them working if I need them.

Or that they don’t have support?

Not specifically the whole Linux/Proton/Game stack. That’s Valve’s bread and butter, not Canonical or Redhat.

Go ahead, call Redhat and tell them you can’t get Skyrim to run, see how far that gets you.

Or rather, there’s someone who isn’t going away anytime soon and someone who you can go to if their shit screws up, someone with an actual address and support number, and it’s not just a Github issue tracker page that hasn’t been seen by the owner in months.

Some people want that peace of mind. Some people aren’t built to scour the internet for hours to maybe find solutions to their problems.

“Yep, it’s a text file. 25KB in size. Created two weeks ago, modified today…here’s your search results for the prompt you gave me:”

You know…stuff your OS couldn’t do already. Society is literally going to forget how to use a computer.

It never ceases to amaze me how far we can still take a piece of technology that was invented in the 50s.

That’s like developing punch cards to the point where the holes are microscopic and can also store terabytes of data. It’s almost Steampunk-y.

Have they ever in recent history been successful at keeping a society exactly how it is for any length of time, or taken it back to a previous era? It just seems like they love losing and being on the wrong side of history, over and over.

Let’s hope they step on each other’s dicks so much for the next four years that they are completely stalled from implementing any of their agenda.

I’m an electronic security tech. I’ve installed alarm systems in 2024 whose design hasn’t changed since the 80s. If they want “modernized” remote control over a network, they usually slap on some sort of external unit like a cell radio or Ethernet adapter that does the translation to the decades-old protocols.

We still have to program the damn things with a USB to RS-232 adapter too.

“Good luck, I’m behind 7 proxies!”
