  • I remember loving power stone play sessions as a kid, but I hardly remember the game. Just remember loving it.

    I tried to play it recently and I did not have much fun. Maybe it’s because it’s single play? Maybe it’s because it didn’t age well.

  • I’m an American and I had a pretty decent job out of college and the idea of moving out of my parents house without roommates was impossible. In fact I don’t know a single person who did it.

    $5000 might not be life changing for me, but it would take me a really long time to save that much.

    Americans have high salaries compared to the rest of the world, but everything is really expensive so things kind of balance out.

    One thing to consider is that the higher salaries make it easier to get things like an iPhone or MacBook. But all the things that are needs like housing, food, and a car are almost too expensive to afford.

    Most people have a car loan, most people don’t even dream of owning a home any longer. When you see that you will never earn enough for a home, then you don’t really save for it.

    When the amount you earn that. An be saved is too little then you don’t really bother with it.

    Most Americans do not live nearly as well as it is portrayed on TV or in movies.

    update

    I’ll add on to this that most Americans have debt for some reason or another besides having a car and house. A lot of people have student debts that are oppressive some people have medical debt as well.

    Gas prices are reasonably low, but everything is so far that you end up using a decent amount of gas to get around.

  • Well if it’s all handled by Apple I can assume that there is a reasonable amount of security in the way the message is stored.

    If a third party gets involved, then I don’t know if the message is read, copied, or stored insecurely by them.

  • I didn’t read the article, but Apple does advertise a certain level of privacy and security with iMessage. A company getting around that kind of defeats apples “promise”.

    So, I don’t blame them for turning it off, but they realistically should bring iMessage to android.

  • I’m not in the US, but 5g is a noticeable and major upgrade to LTE for me.

    I had decent LTE speeds and never had a complaint, but things load instantly for me with 5g instead of the few second delay to load with LTE.

    But the biggest difference for me is that I can work off of my 5g hotspot but I couldn’t off of LTE. If WiFi dropped, I’d need to use my wife’s 5g phone before. But if she was not home, I’d just have to cancel meetings.

  • I think that prison, especially in its current state, is cruel and unusual punishment.

    I also believe that a person having a criminal record that follows them for the rest of their life is cruel and unusual.

    I also think removing a persons voting rights is cruel and unusual.

    So, I’d have a hard time finding anyone guilty.

  • The information he asked for is pretty important to helping you solve your problem. It’s a little annoying to see someone asking for support but not really putting effort into helping others help you.

  • The main think about the cpu is having a tpm. You can add one to the motherboard via pci, or your mobo may have one built in.

    It’s been a while but I’m pretty sure it was 8th gen intel that included a tpm in the cpu by default.

  • Hello from a third would country 👋

    Most people here buy computers used that are already pretty old. I can’t see windows cutting off support without offering some kind of upgrade path to this old hardware. Otherwise there will be millions of people used unsupported devices.

  • Yeah it’s what the other person said essentially.

    If your computer is more than 4-5 years old, then you likely can’t upgrade to windows 11.

    My computer made the cut by a single cpu generation. If it were a year older I’d be out of luck.

    My computer is still way more power than I need and will have it for years to come.

    If my computer were just a year older, I’d be in the same boat if not needing a new computer for years, but not have access to a secure system.

    In addition, i can afford a new computer, but I wouldn’t spend the money on a new computer just to have security updates.

  • I’m actually thinking about getting rid of the gpu.

    It’s about as powerful as my steam deck and I only use the computer for office work and web browsing.

    I’m really trying to make it as small as possible.

  • I live in a 3rd world country and I can promise you that this is going to lead to a large percentage of the population using an insecure version of Windows 10 or just using mobile devices.

    I doubt many people here will switch to Linux, but I can only hope. Maybe businesses will do that instead of buying new hardware. Recently, I saw a shop using Banana Pis as their checkout terminal.
