You keep saying the ONLY POSSIBLE REASON is to get people to buy it twice, I provided reasoning and evidence to the contrary but you don’t care, so yes we’re done here 👍

Companies do different things? Madness! It must be a conspiracy!

You’re refusing to understand the reality of developing for the PC market and instead just shifting all the blame on corporate greed and corporate incompetence at the same time.

The only recent console I own is the switch, everything else is PC all day.

I waited for GTA V to come to PC and played it a lot when it did, so… Maybe if you only expect the fomo crowd to be the only gamers in existence… Sure.

Other then they’re different systems, console is much easier to test/develop on because its a consistent environment, PCs by comparison have so many potential differences per device that it’s much more nuanced.

Would you rather they release a broken ass game on PC or wait and let them optimize and potentially add extra functionality?

I know what I’m picking…

To be fair, when gta v did release on PC, it had a bunch of extra features they couldn’t get working performatively on the last Gen console hardware.

I think it was OC only not “no bots”

Or just keep them indoors

At my prior company (we got bought out) the thin clients clearly ran a Linux system that then connected into a windows VM.

For what would make me completely move, I just want my games to work, I know a ton of effort has been made on that front, but Nvidia drivers kinda stink so performance is a bit worse or completely unusable in certain programs on wayland at least.

Stuff like Wabbajack Skyrim/FO mod organizer modlist support for Linux too, along with modding other games in general usually requires windows because of dll hooking being very common.

Same, I do mean moreso building particular skills that businesses are looking for.

See a lot of “no higher Ed, just learned from experience.” any tips on things to do to gain more experience in sysadmin adjacent skills?

I like to think I’m quite competent with Windows/Linux, been a computer geek since I was really young, in a senior “tech support” position, but the kind of things I do at work are usually less advanced then the random side projects I do for fun… I’m basically the Linux guy for our group but that’s not saying much as the support is next to 0 until you get to an actual product role.

It feels like you’d have to have the job to get the experience, but maybe I’m just not aware of what/if there are any particular projects or things to do that could help with more sysadmin side knowledge.

To give a quick easy example, I have a friend who just started a server maintence type role at a different company and was tasked with setting up a Linux server, she ran into several snags trying to set it up with the documentation she was provided by the company, I asked what distro was it, and what commands was she running? Turns out it was just that she waa given instructions for YUM rather then APT (it was Ubuntu) lol

Maybe they’ll reverse course with enough blowback, they did that once with ryzen already, don’t remember which Gen it was but it wasn’t going to be backwards compatible with certain type of mobos, but then they released it anyway and some mobo manufacturers did provide bios updates to support it.

Similarish situation could happen here, the biggest hangup I’d think is that the 3000 series is nearly 5 years old, and getting mobo manufacturers on board for that could be difficult.

Are we really comparing commenting online to rape now? That’s a huge leap

These are public sites that are used for free I don’t think there’s really any expectation of privacy, additional translation software is far from a nefarious thing.

One could argue simply posting something online is consent, especially when in a publicly accessible location.

If you post something on Twitter, and someone else screenshots and posts it elsewhere, are they “violating consent” what if that person was Donald Trump or some other ghoul saying some crazy shit. Would you have the same reservations?

This seems like an extreme take to me on what communication and consent mean on the internet.

Would you feel the same way if it was being sent through a “non AI” translation server?

A lot of international usage maybe?

I do see a lot of America and American hate on here, I agree with a lot of criticism of America and it’s people but it does get heavy into generalizations on the latter end.

I’m not sure how you’re still not getting my question, yes if it needs to be reworded to “who is the seller?” there ya go.

Neither of you answered my question, who is getting paid.

And who are they paying to do that.

It’s the same picture
