Wow, it is a lot better. Fast, no issues, stable, etc. now?

Which all in one color laser are the best? Are https://www.costco.com/Catalog... considered good?

Is Linux fully working well in M1 like Intel Macs yet?

Ditto. Also, I don't get the newest models to save money and avoid issues. I don't play computer games and anything demanding so I don't have to keep up so often!

If they lock me out of my computer I'm just going to completely stop using Microsoft products. If I have to use sketchy third party software to use my legal license, fuck Microsoft, I'm done

Where's this long list at so we can read?

I haven't had any issues with steam on linux, but I don't play a lot of online games these days, especially fortnite. Dad gaming is all about the roguelikes these days where I can play the entire game end to end in the hour of personal time I have left before bed.

Macs are severely over priced, compared to similar windows configuration for the same money. On top of that they don't run many games compared to PCs with say an Nvidia 4060-4070 or AMD 7600-7700.. you can spend a bunch more for a video card but both of of those sets will play most everything adequately. Right now if you are using any AI tech it's through a browser powered by the cloud. I don't see that changing. Much of the 'home' pc usage is dying thanks to Phones, IPads .. etc. The one big driver of home PC"s is gaming. Because of Apple's focus on locking people into 'THIER' ecosystem and trying to lock out game developers who refuse to fork over 1/3 of their profits, they are just hurting Mac sales. I don't disagree MacOS is significantly better to me than Windows, given the drawbacks it's not personally worth it

I've never linked my PC to a Microsoft account and don't plan to. It's all operating system not a social media account

My copy I lost the key that came with my disc ~15 years ago so it thinks it's a pirated copy. Thanks microsoft. I only have windows installed to play steam games.
 
Luckily Valve has their own branch of Wine, Proton:

And apparently many/most games support running on Proton these days. I'm sorely tempted to just yeet windows once and for all.
 
I will upgrade my computer when I feel like it, thanks. On my "gaming pc" I visit like, 6 websites (gmail, steam, slashdot and a handful of others) and use Steam, security updates are nice but I'm not at enormous risk, and if anything happens to the PC I'll just wipe it and reinstall anyways. This is my only windows PC at this point, there's nothing to back up.

My guess is that something not Chechen enough is going to be risky to play.

And this guideline will make sure that Chechen music doesn't change in style over time.

I believe this was a trademark issue.

The state trademarked Kentucky and KFC wasn't Kentucky enough to use it.

Later court decisions made it so the state trademarking its name was invalid and KFC went back to using Kentucky (after using kitchen fresh chicken for a bit in the interim).

Health, home, etc. :(

Home assistants to do things like, set a timer, set an alarm, check the weather, turn "smart" lights on/off, adjust "smart" thermostat can be handled by an open source LLM running on a raspberry pi class device. I suspect offline "home assistants" will start hitting shelves soon enough. Weather or news API is the only tricky thing as there's some cost associated with it; the device might come with a 1 or 2 year free subscription to those services.
 
As soon as those devices become available/reliable, I plan on ditching our google home setup.
