Despite getting ragged on for it, I really enjoyed the game. It wasn't spectacular, but I found it fun.

Well the Corolla will be built better, for sure.

I've always been a mid-range gamer. When I was younger, that's just what I could afford. As I've grown older, I didn't see the point of spending more for high end. Mid-range already feels too expensive. But luckily, the parts last for 5 years easily.

The last one should be something like, "I can fit any technology with enough practice and patience."

Dropping the Windows tax means being able to offer computers for cheaper prices, which is attractive to consumers. Several companies are offering Linux these days.

It wasn't before "woke". It was before morons learned the word existed and used it completely wrong and forced it to fit their culture war nonsense.

Edit: if you're in a cyberpunk community complaining about "woke", you definitely don't understand the themes of the genre.

When I was 5 or 6, my grandmother got a NES and three games. One was Crystalis.

Me and my two cousins played the game in turns, and we eventually got to the first boss, which was quite an achievement because there are puzzle elements to the game.

We could not beat this boss. Several years later, I have my own NES and I borrow Crystalis. I'm pretty sure I got to that boss again and realized something. Hitting him produced a sound that no other monster had. It sounded like hitting solid glass. I finally intuited that I wasn't strong enough and leveled up to level 3, and wouldn't you know it, I beat the boss.

It's one of my all time favorite retro games. It was so ahead of its time. Worth playing if you've never tried it.

Linux is still not ready for mainstream consumers

Jorge Castro of Universal Blue likes to say that the average person doesn't install operating systems, and I fully agree with him.

People rock what comes installed on their computer. Anyone who installs an OS them self is not an average user.

I think we'll see the average user start to choose Linux as more and more manufacturers ditch the Windows tax and ship computers with Linux.

Check out Tailscale. It uses Wireguard under the hood, but it's magic.

I can't imagine how scared you are. I know it's gotta be tough.
