The Prince of Persia movie. Also God’s of Egypt.

Some loose change from my dad to buy lunch at school.

Start setting one up.

Canada too, but half the country wants to be the US so it doesn’t really count.

I like the necrons, and the admech since they share a lot of themes.

They have the best tech, their vision of time is completely skewed and they look badass. Plus their story is profoundly sad and makes you think about your sense of self.

In addition to other comments, it’s a terrible replacement for forums. Information gets buried quickly, is hard to sort and search through, and conversations get scrambled.

Everything that people liked about 7 was a thing in Vista. AFAIK, people hate on Vista for performance, the automatic updates and the admin access pop-ups. The first one is because they tried to upgrade old XP hardware, a new system ran fine. 7 didn’t really increase performance, people just had new computers by that point. The other 2 issues never changed since, people just got used to them.

8 had an amazing search feature that got completely garbled in 10. The “start menu” wasn’t well received, but worked fine. 10 brought back a smaller compromise version of it. 10 also has much more telemetry, came with the Cortana and default edge Bing searches and had overall a much less pleasant experience.

I feel like Vista and 8 get a bad rep because they where so different from the previous ones, even though they rolled some of that into the successors and worked really well. And 10 really accelerated the enshitification of Windows.

I feel like I’m alone in this but Vista was great. I preferred it and 8 over 7 and 10.

Wireless means you have to deal with batteries. I’d rather plug stuff in and never worry about it.

Slay the dragon.

Go play it. It’s worth it.

PP coming in next year to do the same here though…

My still new-ish phone is a pixel 4a I got used. My laptop is a 2012 model and my car from 2006.

The release cycles are insanely fast and have been for a while.

Still no LiDAR.

Sensors that the Tesla famously doesn’t have (afaik, didn’t check) because Elon is a dumbass.

Love you too <3

I use Arch BTW.

I’m a heretic, but Vista > 7 and 8.1 > 10.

My modelling is CPU bound as it’s a model made in Fortran by physicists (me included). The fact is that I wouldn’t get a 4x boost, and a model running overnight still would. When I actually need performance I use a 1000 cores compute cluster for multiple days, so that would never run on any consumer CPU anyways.

For the data processing, the real bottle neck is disk access and my scripting speed, so the CPU doesn’t really need to be amazing.

I have an other 2-3 years with my 1600.

Gaming, working (data processing, physical modelling).

The trick is to use a lower overhead OS than Windows.
