Who is your favorite artist and what song/album would you recommend?
  • Super Furry Animals - Radiator

    Been my favorite since mid 00's. As someone from the US, they were never very big here, and I get tons of looks from people if I tell them this. They were pretty successful overseas from the looks of the concerts. I didn't mind. Whenever they toured here, I got to see them in super small venues, which was great. Sadly, they haven't put out an album in over 15 years and doubt they will. They all have side projects and kind of moved on but never officially broke up. I can only hope they will return one day. Side projects are really good as well, thankfully.

  • Before giving up on mine I wiped my birthday info. I asked my wife if anyone on fb remembered my birthday now, she said nope.

  • I gave it up in 2016. It was early in the year, and 100% because I thought it was useless. Little did I know it was the best move of the year considering how much I heard about all the crazy people coming out during election season... It still exists, I really should find time to completely remove it now.

    Surgeon general's warning: Parenting may be hazardous to your health
  • We have an awful time trying to handle our kids... I definitely understand that. Like right now, it's about to be bedtime, and as I am writing this, they are screaming and running around like mad men. On top of this dealing with all the issues they may have is also extra stress, like how my 1 kid has a few learning disabilities and trying to navigate all that without time or money to throw at it is extra exhausting. The one thing I like to think that is opposite of this article is that I sometimes think because I have to care for them may be the only reason I am still alive! It gives you purpose, whether you wanted it or not! Still I really really can't wait until they grow up a bit and this stage of craziness stops. I will probably regret this when it comes, but I am ready for the emotional teenager phase.

    Elon Musk Has a New Excuse for Not Making It to Mars
  • Remember, he left Trump back in 2017. I wonder what deal he made with him this time that makes him so dedicated again. It's kind of hard to impress someone who has everything, so it must be more power.

    75% of all PS5 owners prefer Performance Mode according to PlayStation
  • I will try out graphics mode just to see, then immediately jump to performance mode because who doesn't want the smoothest experience possible? 60fps is incredible. I can't see buying the pro at that price unless there is some super trade in event (even then probably not due to mine having a disc drive) but I will say it would be great to have the best settings of the game possible while still maintaining 4k or checkerboard 4k at 60fps. It's always a shame having to decide.

    Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling
  • It did when the ps5 first came out. $500 for it was a steal back then. I wanted to build a PC at the time but due to the crazy GPU prices and low stock for other parts I decided it was best to wait. Got a ps5 instead (was also hard to get as well) and thought it was absolutely worth the price for the experience it offered. Just built the pc I wanted last fall shortly after prices started dropping. First time ever I made a good choice.

    A worker won $600,000 after Twitter said his goodbye messages showed he had resigned. The case holds valuable lessons for staff and employers.
  • I don't think that's true. We archive all email within the company as soon as it arrives. This is done to prevent an employee from deleting any evidence for many reasons that they may have. We are also on litigation hold which requires all data to be saved and since we can't trust everyone to do this we are required to back up everything until we are told not to. We have used restored data many times for legal cases in the past.

    What is the most severe case of brainwashing you have seen?
  • Not anyone I know, or even the most brainwashed, but I did watch this video last night on YouTube that was pretty disturbing and although the events are now 15 years ago they ended not long ago and the court case only ended last year.

    Guy who is extremely good at manipulating people ends up manipulating like 6 or more of his daughters college friends into somehow dropping out and living with him and forced to do all the requests he has.

  • The free one was the first game my kid was able to pick up and learn how to play games on. He was 4 at the time, and it was such a simple game that he was able to figure out the controls enough to play. He is almost 8 now and told him this was coming last week, and he was super excited. As much as I wanted him to enjoy video games, he really doesn't play or care about too many, so it will be cool to see him enjoy it

  • The free one bundled with PS5's was incredible. It was short and to the point. Fast-paced and full of a variety of beautiful environments. Not overwhelming with any extra content or tons of moves. There are tons of fun easter eggs while also showing you the entire history of every Sony product that ever existed. From the looks of it, this will just expand upon that which is perfect. It was a glorified demo that showed off every new feature the controller had.

  • Take advantage of 2.5gb port with switches?

    Just a quick question since I am not sure if I am thinking about this correctly. I have 1 2.5gb port on my new router and the rest are 1gb. I wanted to buy a switch that leveraged the 2.5gb port but the devices plugged into it will be 1gb which will work since it's backwards compatible. My question is will this allow for a higher maximum throughput since the uplink is at 2.5gb allowing for me to max out the 1gb connections on the switch? Or is that not how it will work and I will see no difference between a 1gb switch plugged into a 1gb uplink?
