I mean the whole point that xboxers were making when the ps5 was released was 'but gamepass!'. Now that ps also has their 'game subscription', I do not really see the appeal of an xbox, especially if you also own a pc. PS has exclusives, xbox does not - at least not ones I'd be interested in and couldn't play on PC.

Yeah, same here. My 1080ti still performs more than adequately enough.
That's also a thing about all this gpu pricing - things are starting just to become 'enough', without the need to upgrade like you did before.
Same thing happened to phones, and then high end phones got expensive as fuck. I mean I had a Galaxy note 2 I bought for 400 bucks back in the day and that was already expensive.
You can't really compare an 8800gt to a 1070 to a 4080.
8800gt was just another era, the 1070 is the 70 series from a time where they had the ti and the titan, and the 4080 is the top gpu other than the 4090.
If you wanted to compare to the 10 series, a better match for the 4080 would be the 1080ti, which I own, and paid like 750 for back in 2017.
Sure, they're on the money grabbing train now, and the 4080 should realistically be around 20% cheaper - around 800 bucks, to be fair.
Thing is though, if you just want gaming, a 4070 or 4060 is enough. They did gimp the VRAM though, which is not too great. If those cards came standard with 16gb of VRAM, they'd be all good.
YouTube premium to access the higher bitrates through Yt-dlp ;)
Yt-dlp is great for getting music from YouTube music.
You even get fairly good quality if you have premium (I do through Argentina, so it costs me cents per month)
For remote backup, always keep your data in multiple 'importance levels'. There's replaceable, irreplaceable and very important.
Replaceable is non-niche movies and all kinds of other things that are commonly available, data not 'exclusive to you'. Irreplaceable is data that is (probably) only owned by you - photos, videos, source code, documents and so on. Very important are the few documents you really can't afford to lose. Security keys, banking info and so on.
I don't bother backing up replaceable data - I keep one local and one off site backup for the irreplaceable data and very important data (1tb hetzner storage box is enough for me), and I keep a few encrypted physical usb sticks and sd cards strewn around at my parents and at work for the irreplaceable data that periodically get updated.

Yeah, don't confuse people if you don't know anything about a language.
That's like saying 'I was so confused what an atre is, until I realized it's not the atre but theatre!'
は and が are something you can call 'subject markers', just like を is an object marker. They come after words to describe their position in a sentence. The same way you have Kasus/Fälle in German.
This also happens in English, by selection of the words you use. Using Du und Sie is fairly simple in comparison. Strangers, last name basis, or professional? Sie. Kids, friends, talking to people out drinking on a friendly basis? Du.
The whole 'position of peer' thing has a lot more nuances in Japanese, and even that's not too hard once you get the hang of it.
Were you though, or did you just think you were?
It's also 'easy' to communicate in English. 'I want eat' 'where go this place' and so on. People understand, and probably will answer you. It's easier for something like that in Chinese to be grammatically correct - but did you master pitch accents and never mixed them up after 'a few weeks'? We're you able to read hanzi?
The thing is that with European languages, it's easy to fall into the trap of trying to express ideas that are too complex for your language ability if you are native in an European language. I don't remember French for shit anymore, but say I were to ask some French guy that doesn't speak English for a good restaurant to eat in, I'd probably go something like 'je veux mange, tu sais un bon Restaurant ici?' I doubt that's grammatically correct whatsoever, and sounds weird as fuck, but you'd probably get my point. It's probable you sound similar when speaking Chinese only for a few weeks.
I mean, that's basically the way it works. Here it's just 'transparent'.
Want to pay workers more - food gets more expensive. It's the same thing with America not adding sales tax to the sticker price. When I get something for 2 bucks in Europe, it's 2 bucks including the vat. In America, it's 2 bucks before vat.
But yeah, it's probably not properly implemented and just a scheme to get more money out of people.
