That took me a while to understand haha

Yeah I must say vulkan would’ve been sweet. But apple is big enough to mane metal work I guess… Time will tell, but I’ve never been closing to jumping aboard the apple train. Even though it kinda feels weird to me just thinking about it haha

I am a PC/Android user, always have been. I am a hard apple hater, I’ve tried to keep up with the new devices though, and I’ve also repaired them in the past. I hate apple mostly due to just not liking to be locked on my device (lack of customization but that has been getting better AFAIK), the fact that the phone feels boring, the overpricing, the not friendly right to repair, the stupid lightning ports (Thanks EU), the “elitist” feeling…

But god damn are these new SOCs making me reconsider… I was already very pleasantly surprised with the Mac computers recently. I think apple silicon is just waaaay ahead at the moment. If competition doesn’t catch up somehow soon, I think apple’s monopoly will only grow.

Also, AMD over Nvidia. Not saying it’s better, but I’ll always go team red. Just like Apple, I hate nvidia’s business practices.

My parents are (early) Gen X. In general I don’t think you are transparent or ignored. I’m not saying this isn’t your case though.

I appreciate my parents and even though they are “outdated” on some stuff, I value them immensely. For instance, if it wasn’t for my dad I likely would never have gotten into omputers. And that would’ve led me not have my current job (probably). I owe everything to them.

In fact, in my country at least (not US), I’m pretty sure Boomers + Gen X make up the majority of the voting power due to declining birth/death rates. (These stats are 100% pulled out of my ass, so they can very well be wrong.)

So, if anything you’re the ones who hold more power (again, in my country at least).

What I’m trying to say is, things aren’t as black and white as this stupid memes make them seem. We’re all collectively messed up somehow. :)

I wonder if in the future, millennials and gen z will become the new boomers and gen X.

That will make me kinda sad. I just hope we don’t go down the same path…

I think I haven’t slept as little as these past few weeks. 🥲

Get off work, play NMS for 3 to 4 hours and have dinner. Join my brother for BG3 co-op. Look at the time and suddenly it’s 1am. Start getting stuff ready to leave only to get lost on some side quest… When I finally have enough it’s 3am…

Currently playing Baldur’s Gate 3, 2 player co-op and it’s been an absolute blast.

Recently a friend started playing No Man’s Sky and I joined in to help him get started and give him some tips… Only to get re-addicted to it myself so now I’m split between BG3 and NMS 🥲

As a gw2 veteran (in the sense of owning the game for a long time, not that I am very good at it) I’m pretty sure you’ll like it! I honestly feel sad for how overlooked GW2 is…

The community is great, don’t be afraid to ask for help if you’re stuck on a quest or a puzzle. More often than not people will go out of their way to help you!

Never heard of skill up but now I’m curious about their review :)

Edit: I haven’t tried the new Xpack yet, but I’ve heard it’s great! Might buy it later on discount since I’m not planning on playing for a couple of months at least.

I’ve read an article that they were about to get a lot more common outside of the US. Apparently they can better “tune” emissions that way and since there are heavy fines and a lot of control going forward that’s the argument they are using.

Also apparently manual gears are more expensive to manufacture, I think. Again I read this on an article sometime ago so it could just be BS, I can’t seem to find which it was.

Imo, they just want to greenwash this change. In reality they can save money and improve scalability and just standardize everything.

Thanks! I decided to post it there if it doesn’t get much traction I’ll do it here as well after.

Downloaded that torrent, thought it was weird that it triggered my AV. Usually I just assume it’s a crack file or something, and even Windows defender will say it’s a “game crack” file or something on the threat information.

However, BG3 being released on GoG I found it odd… And it wasn’t even detected as a game crack file or wtv it’s called. Ended up downloading one uploaded by InsaneRamZes which ALSO was detected by AV…

I’ve ended up downloading about 4~5 clients to finally find one that didn’t trigger it… The amount of trash that was going around is insane.

The one I finally found that doesn’t have a virus was from a private tracker. (which was the RUNE release)

Edit: Just checked on 1337x and this one that I had from InsaneRamZes has also been removed it seems. I can’t actually find a BG3 full game torrent on there atm… But I did manage to add the tracker to my private tracker’s RUNE download so I’ll be sharing with you all too 🤝

That’s a great question… But I have no clue if its exposed or not. The thing is, apparently they fixed it in a way that it should, in theory, work out of the box.

HomeAssistant should be running on 8123 if I’m not mistaken.

I’ve tried [virtual adapter]:8123 (not at my PC atm, don’t know the op by heart sry) localhost:8123 and 127.0.0.1:8123
