Just did a speed test on my 5G network and hit 250 mbit up and only 5 down.

While I do get a couple months off in the summer, I also don't get paid for those months. I have to have my paycheck shortened every pay period in order to keep receiving a paycheck over that break.

It is more of a "I can't believe they would make this a requirement." I am already a linux user now for a couple decades.

I just do not understand the rational that almost making a Microsoft account to log into a computer a requirement.

Did you ever notice how the bitcoin/crypto bros are always boasting about the price of it while trashing fiat currencies? And how they always use a fiat value to compare its price with?

Without fiat to give it value, their precious crypto/bitcoin is worthless.

Also how much it costs to just use it.

If it is significantly cheaper than it's competitors I would consider buying one. All you have to do is not hook it up to the interwebz.

Bah, we should just move the space station to the moon and use that as a place to facilitate moon activities.

I got off the console treadmill with the PS4, and almost took a pass on that. Never again, not ever. Not any kind of console. The creepy control freakery over what is really an ordinary PC plus lockdown crap just makes it not worth it.

Yeah I can understand that sentiment, but man, it is just so easy to turn on and game, not worry about anything working properly, drivers, etc.

I am really confused by the outrage. Yeah sure it is not ideal, but the half-life for the products in the contaminated water is really short, with tritium and sesium-137 being the longer ones.
