Sure but you can use your own choice of 2FA software for your own stuff
- Comment on Microsoft warns Authenticator now blocks rooted Android and jailbroken iOS, verify if you're affected 21 hours ago:
I don’t really mind using shit software on work devices. Yes it’s slow and inefficient, I spent half an hour today on Windows doing what would be a very short command on Linux. Fuck it, get paid the same. I just use Linux at home in my own time.

Glad I don’t use their app then.

Hey, wanna join me on my illegal Minecraft server?
- Comment on Oh no, that's Lenovo saying they think these RAM prices will be the new normal and may never go back to how they were 5 days ago:
I don’t use them, work me uses them and I am getting paid in that case so who cares that it’s terrible
- Comment on Oh no, that's Lenovo saying they think these RAM prices will be the new normal and may never go back to how they were 5 days ago:
And the result of those shit tools is their problem.
- Comment on Oh no, that's Lenovo saying they think these RAM prices will be the new normal and may never go back to how they were 5 days ago:
That is a problem for my employer rather than me.

You don’t have to use electron crapps.

I wonder how it will compare over time, will the overall performance you can get per hour of labour in wages go up or down?
If a high end PC costs twice as much, wages only go up 50%, but high end PCs are twice as powerful. You are still getting more performance for your work. But if performance and wages barely change while costs rise significantly, now performance for labour has actually dropped. Generally more interested in how it compares over longer time frames rather than month to month spikes.
- Comment on Expect RAM prices to stay high with Micron locking in deals for 5 years 1 week ago:
I don’t need to buy a more powerful PC if I don’t want to. I could game on 2GB just fine. I game on 32GB because when I bought it I could afford it and wanted to, but it isn’t a hard requirement. Still running an RTX2070 and see no reason to upgrade, when it dies the lowest spec GPU will probably be an upgrade.
- Comment on Expect RAM prices to stay high with Micron locking in deals for 5 years 1 week ago:
At this rate I suspect by 2035 I will be running a pi zero 3/4 as my main PC.
- Comment on Expect RAM prices to stay high with Micron locking in deals for 5 years 1 week ago:
Surely if the bubble pops then micron are doing great as the deals are already agreed, but that RAM won’t be worth what companies paid for it either. What would they do with it, try and sell it off to recover some of the cost of the RAM they no longer need?
- Comment on Valve quietly tweaked the Steam Machine details removing "4K gaming at 60 FPS" 1 week ago:
Probably reasonable, it is going to vary by game a lot. Some will easily and others not a chance. Got an old 2011 laptop that would output 4k 60FPS if it was capable of outputting 4k… Actually could probably SSH onto it from something else with a 4k screen. What FPS does a terminal get?
- Comment on Valve Gives The Green Light to Install SteamOS On Desktops To Create Our Own Steam Machines 1 week ago:
Have they not improved driver support as part of this?
- Comment on Valve Gives The Green Light to Install SteamOS On Desktops To Create Our Own Steam Machines 1 week ago:
I think some hardware configs are harder to use, like if you have Nvidia.
- Comment on Valve Gives The Green Light to Install SteamOS On Desktops To Create Our Own Steam Machines 1 week ago:
Allowed but janky, this is probably a more polished installer.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Kinda wish I got several back then. I had 1 already though. Still got it too. Now mostly use 8bitdo controllers as I mostly use them for coop games and it’s easier to use the same type of controller.
- Comment on Sony say goodbye to PC and hello to AI in their annual business report, which must be a good thing, right? 2 weeks ago:
Nice, they won’t even try selling me their slop. Thanks Sony.
- Comment on Valve is so behind on Steam Controller orders that some won’t ship until 2027 2 weeks ago:
Depends on what you play. IIRC like the original steam controller, it’s better at playing non controller games than any other controller is. If you are just using it for games with full controller support anyway then I doubt there is as much of a difference.
- Comment on Many live service games are just an MMO subscription "hidden inside of a neat 'optional' package", argue Guild Wars 3 devs in a post about the new game's monetisation 2 weeks ago:
RuneScape can be played without a subscription.

I would rather a monthly subscription over micro transaction crap tbh.
- Comment on Nintendo reportedly look set to net so little from their Palworld lawsuit you'll wonder why they bothered 2 weeks ago:
And what is that fucking message, that Nintendo isn’t much of a threat compared to what people thought?
- Comment on Xbox Gaming CSO Pitches Ads in Games as "Affordable Alternative" 3 weeks ago:
I like games that are highly relatable/endless. Story isn’t something I am overly bothered by though.
- Comment on Xbox Gaming CSO Pitches Ads in Games as "Affordable Alternative" 3 weeks ago:
I think some of my most played games are indie ones I bought in the 2010s, Rimworld, Factorio, Vintage Story, From the Depths, Kenshi.
Not sure if I can think of as much that stands out from the 2020s tbh. Valheim perhaps but I don’t feel like going back to it as much as the others.
- Comment on Xbox Gaming CSO Pitches Ads in Games as "Affordable Alternative" 3 weeks ago:
Far more affordable to just buy indie games instead, and you can play a lot of them on fairly affordable hardware. You could make do with an iGPU for a fair bit if you want to keep costs down low enough.

And a % per attempt
- Comment on Gothic remake lockpicking backlash raises the fascinating question of whether anybody really enjoys lockpicking in RPGs 3 weeks ago:
Kenshi does it pretty well

It can be shutdown, I don’t want it.

Probably not if it can shutdown.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney throws shade at Valve / Gabe Newell for Steam Deck pricing 5 weeks ago:
You don’t have to buy games from them though, if it’s at a loss people would start buying them for other uses too
