Lol I remember eMachines. Integrated graphics on a desktop tower and the thing sounded like a leafblower under load. Also I believe it wouldn’t support a dedicated GPU either.

There can be entire communities that know of no one that voted for the opposite candidate. That’s what helped feed the “stolen 2020 election” narrative. Some truly think that Trump should have won in a landslide because “No one I know likes Biden, how could he have won?”.

Reddit used to really drive me nuts, in the work-related subreddits, where everyone used to say, “Your co-workers are not your friends.”

Reddit is full of the asocial “leave me alone” types (or at least used to be) that make every excuse to not to socialize with others. Taking their advice to heart is an easy way to become a miserable person. There’s lots of nuance between “set up barriers in front of everyone” and “share every detail” and they seem to lack that.

Oh no I got owned :'(

The most cutting-edge chips are made in Taiwan. Hardly any (if any) chip foundry comes close to the quality they export. It will raise prices of nearly everything in a PC as consumers will probably buy up the remaining stock of modern hardware as an alternative.

I’ve read some idiots online saying “you’re dumb if you didn’t wait for the 5000 series” based off of the revealed MSRP, as if the majority of people are ever going to buy at those prices (especially now with tariffs). What’s likely is that consumers will pay far more to get relatively less improvement if they go with a 5000 series card.

There’s enough sucker fanboys for Nvidia that they’ll probably still sell though. Just like how there’s people who will buy the new Call of Duty each year.

People hyped for the Nvidia 5000 series better get their cards before prices skyrocket across the board. I guess graphics cards weren’t expensive enough or something.

Really though, no brand is safe from the soon-to-be insane prices if this does go through as a blanket tariff without exceptions. Better to err on the safe side and upgrade soon as you can, if you need to and you’re not too wealthy to care.

Sorry for not being clear, I meant the speculoos butter spread, most commonly Biscoff butter.

Chunky speculoos spread and strawberry spread is the way to go. I need to try it on brioche one of these days.

Speculoos and jelly sandwiches. It’s possible they serve that in Europe somewhere, but you could never find that served in the US.

I’d like to be proven wrong though.

IMO a hash brown patty from Trader Joe’s is far better if it’s skillet-fried at home with a little bit of oil. It’s also far cheaper if you don’t need to eat on the go.

Their breakfast steak patty sandwiches though, no place makes it like them and I absolutely love them. I wish they made burgers with their steak patties, but that probably won’t happen.

I’ve dodged nearly everything with only Firefox + Ublock + Ghostery. The most I ever got was maybe one warning page on YouTube and never seen anything about it again.

And to add, they will only fight if they have an unfair advantage (more people, better weapons, etc). It’s better to defend your own ground if necessary.

I replaced all my comments with the same phrase before deleting them with PowerDeleteSuite. The comments were fully restored and visible through a google search (but not visible through the user page). My posts were not restored, AFAIK.

This was during the whole 3rd party API thing. Maybe it was just something done during that time, but they certainly got around the edit replacement trick before.

A lot of the shill marketing is very hard to prove. A lot of the dialogue gets mixed in with commentors that have genuine brand loyalty.

It’s far too easy for a marketing team to acquire a high karma account and blend in. We’ll never get a truly clear picture of how much Reddit is astroturfed.
