It’s sort-of true. Write cycles are limited.

However most modern-ish SSDs have a secure-erase command which would allow clearing without actually re-writing each sector from the OS level. It’s also much faster.

There are utilities to do this: hdparm and blkdiscard

That said, there’s little reason to do this.

For filth in a charging port, yeah.

I know. :-)

Not really relevant: power requirements would affect battery size much more than charging port size. And USB-C supports much greater power transport than the old dock connector.

Not conductive? Isn’t that a good thing?

It’s new. Unstable and updates often.

Are you thinking of some other distribution?

Pop! hasn’t released a new version since 2022 and rarely updates aside from security patches.

Because that’s how people buy them?

Home users want cheap garbage with good graphics for gaming. Business users want consistent reliability at a moderate price. Creators want high res graphics and don’t care what they pay.

Honestly this is not a good reason.

Basically the only sticking point IMO would be whether the specific games you enjoy tend to have problems (often due to draconian DRM or anti cheat systems)

You still have to have some device connected to the internet. This just transfers the problem from the humidifier to the outlet.

Not a 7900 but my 5900 does for sure.

I’m not super-familiar with mod managers in general but my experience has been that they just work with proton more than you might expect. I know for sure that unity mod manager works fine in proton; I use it for railroader.

I mean the answer is pretty easy: video games generally have a long shelf life and no maintenance at some point after they’re released.

It’s definitely an AMD graphics card crash.

Played a good bit of this last night. Not bad.

Reminds me of Terra Nil, which honestly I prefer— but this is good in its own way.

Yes. You could use vlc or even as an iso file just open them as a virtual drive.

CTRL-tilde or CTRL-backtick?

Only office is basically the same interface again, all cloning MS-office 2007-2010.

Bleach.

It actually works, without a bunch of insane weird behavior.

Eager but tentative?

Usually tentative means they are not so eager.

What’s with that disaster of colorized text?
