Your best bet is to shoot for one with an AMD Ryzen chip, as they have by-far the best iGPU available.

Getting a dedicated GPU into a mini PC is a pretty big ask, but the above will even do moderate gaming tasks. My laptop with a Ryzen iGPU plays Guild Wars 2 just fine, for example.

A self-built Mini-ITX box might also be up your alley, as those can take proper PCI-E graphics cards.

It was discovered in pre-history, and almost certainly independently by many, many individuals. You aren’t going to get a name on it.

Thank you. :)

Two US Democratic senators were just assassinated

Which Senators?

Edit: Looked it up, appears to be State Rep. Hortman (was confused as ‘US Senator’ means Senator to the federal Senate, not state-level House representative). Can’t find a second assassination though.

Fun fact in all party consent states consent is obtained merely by notifying the other party that the call is being recorded

And almost all calls with a company will start with a line about ‘recording the call for quality purposes’. Well, both parties consented after that point, record away!

Poor customer support is the #1 thing that will get me to stop using a service/buying future products. Everybody fucks up, what matters most is what happens next. If they make the problem right with little hassle, why bother switching?

Most of the internet, huge portions of the world’s servers run on Linux. It has had a huge bullseye on it for a long, long time.

It’s the summation of all of the above.

Does SUSE require a payment up front, as well as a subscription in order to continue receiving updates, as well as even more payments to ensure hoovered data resides in your country?

That is good to know.

Though the ask here is getting pretty large:

• The OS requires a paid license
• In order to continue receiving security updates, you have to pay an additional subscription fee
• If you want all your hoovered data to reside in your own country, you have to pay even more

Don’t fret it, happens to everyone. And the rapidly changing pace of the news here makes it all the more likely.

the website’s admins do not want you to have any control over your front page. The end result is utterly alienating.

This is one of the biggest things. Back when I would netflix often, I would constantly be annoyed when the ‘continue watching’ dialog was not the first one. Stop moving it around! Now I just watch everything locally. It’s so much nicer.

There is no reason streaming should be such a pain in the ass, and it amazes me the industry has made basic, paid access to shows a chore. And they wonder why viewership is not great*.

*Also the writing generally sucks ass and assumes I’m not paying attention. No, seriously, they assume you aren’t paying attention and write shows as such now. It makes so many things unwatchable.

I’m still confused on why Netflix has any games.

Yeah, the reporting I have seen says the ceasefire wasn’t fully followed at first, but has been holding since.

I’m also confused by the title, as even the article says ‘fuck’ has been said by presidents before crowds.

How to run something you don’t trust without performance lost?

A virtual machine is generally your best choice. You build a little box around it and tell it to have fun inside that box.

It doesn’t work well for games (you can do it with games, but it’s generally not worth it), but for smaller programs, it is a very reliable choice with minimal performance impact.

When they try to negotiate for food or economic assistance, it gets framed as extortion

When one threatens death and destruction in exchange for money and goods, one does frame that as extortion, yes.

Why the hell would you want Iran to have nukes? Just because Israel and/or US bad, doesn’t mean Iran is good. Far, far from it.

Things with admin privilege have access to everything. If it is only user-privileged, it only has access to what that user was granted access to.

Well, that is fair. Those anti-cheats are in user-land on not-windows. Don’t think I have given admin permissions to any game, including those with Easy Anti-Cheat, etc.

I’m still surprised Microsoft allows those to exist. Particularly for something as mundane as games.

steam games for example are nearly impossible to run without admin

What steam game requires admin permissions? I’m not aware of any games that require admin permissions.
