Live USB boot IMO, you remove the virtualization performance overhead.

you can theoretically attach it to anything that has an outward API useable by developers. for an ultra basic example, it likely wouldnt be hard to tie it to a controller rumble API

the centralized login method is easier for people outside of your network to use your content. thats kinda the main draw if you are willing to sacrifice that level of privacy

sausage, eggs, double serving of hash browns, either oj or coffee depending on mood.

the problem is aleays some person in marketing who tries to follow trends. For a good laugh, watch Derbauers recent video from computex about AI products and how many “AI” products were at the show.

nice try Brahms

while i am a proponent that different brands of water is different and there is a difference in taste, ill never defend overpriced water.

like you arent going to give me a bottle of arrowhead water.

you would upgrade the processor by upgrading the mainboard (cpu+mobo+heatsink) as a single item. module is used because there are a lot of parts on a framework that can be individually changed (usb ports, screen, battery, webcam, speakers, hinges, bezels)

bots evolving by projection, and you know what projects, MACHINES. its been in front of us all along.

probably same reason why some are anti birth control. kinda playing against gods role by manipulating the natural result.

the main selling point of mpchc is madvr. there’s basically no other competitors that utilize the GPU to make the media your watching better on the same level as madvr.

iirc FCC fined that company to oblivion recently, hence why it kinda died off.

its because people are too attched to using the native option. Theres nothing stopping people from using 3rd party start bars for years now. Conceptually to me, complaining about the start bar is almost akin to complaining about things in internet explorer, when 3rd party options exists.

Think how agressive Microsoft puts ads in edge. theres absolutely nothing stopping a user from switching browsers to ignore that. Start bar is the same.

different vpns will have different use cases.

some people just want to bypass geolocked content, this only requires having a vpn in whatever region you want content in.

those who only care about piracy and avoiding dmca claims, they need a VPN who do not keep logs. or is hosted in a country that does not respond to DMCA requests

those who need a VPN for privacy reasons, theres tiers of it. basically some people will refuse to use VPNs hosted in Five Eyes/Nine Eyes countries as the government would likely know your actions. some people dont care of government knows, others do.

isnt that the point of using a 3rd party option. while windows isnt as customizable as Linux, i fond it odd that people are trying to customize the native windows button instead of using a 3rd party one and customizing that, in which you would have much more control of the function.

i think the real factor is less the appliance, its the knowhow(or willingness to knowhow) and time especially.

oh that thats more a hardware question, which turns into a software one depending if hardware is present. basically if a manufacturer for laptops specifically deaigns a laptop that has both, they can choose to implement a hardware mux or not. the decision affects fps, latency and cost. if they lack it, software decides which ones to use and has to redirect dgpu to igpu, which is connected to the laptop screen (what causes latency and performance loss, as there is no hardware switch that goes from gpu to monitor directly)

however this odd phenomena where gpus get routed into igpu has a couple of benefits in very niche usecases and experiments. one example is that it allows for gpus that have no output to work as a typical gpu (e. g miner specific built gpus) and a joke example ia when a modder made a game run both DLSS 3.0 and FSR 3.0 frame generation by having a discrete nvidia gpu pass all its frames (including geneated ones) to a amd apu that appled amd frame gen as a propf of concept. this odd connection allows for interesting quirks not present if something is directly connected to the gpu.

its not too much different than on a windows system, you basically have a driver, and the driver basically has an internal whitelist on what hardware is supported on said driver, be dgpu or igpu. depending on distro/how you manage updates, your update schedule can vary.

the obly difference is on linux, theres usually a propietary driver option, and an open source option, where in windows, most people will just use the propietary closed sources option given by their chip manufacturer

population decreasing has nothing to do with it. South Korea, who has a worse population problem, has the polar opposite. its an absolute hell hole to buy a house because of pricing.

if what you said was true, living in south korea would be easy (hint: it actually isnt)

housing is expensive because some countries see t as an investment. even in some capitalistic countries can have affordable housing (e. g japan in many areas) because how they see housing is completely different than how other capitalistic nations see housing. its why despite having a dogshit working schedule, you could still afford to live in japan even with a shitty job.

yes, regulations and stuff play a roll in why its expensive, but it doesnt adress the root cause in why it happens, and that answer is because people treat it as $$$ and not a natural right.
