  1. I always talk them down to about $50 for a year sub, so I’m good with it, mostly because it’s how I tend to find new music/bands for myself as streaming services seem to just pull from the same bands most of the time, and when I do the “discover new music” thing with any of them it just gives me garbage I don’t like lol. Plus, that Pearl Jam station But, yea, any more than $50-60ish/year and no f’n way I also don’t think the phone apps are worth paying for, as there’s no server really involved in a way that it should cost money. It’s a signal from your phone through the net/towers to your cars onboard modem. Only server-side bit is the log-in and settings being saved. Ford/Lincoln and others (Hyundai/Kia/Genesis being one of them) offer it for free for life on new cars.
  2. I feel like The Last of Us is still the king for video game adaptations, but, in terms of doing a show based on the “world” a game is set in and not so-much following the exact plot of a game itself, yes.
  3. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iranian-notice-attack-may-have-dampened-escalation-risks-2024-04-14/ In regard to (and to clarify) my tweet above your post, Iran claimed that it also gave the US notice, and a US official is denying that there was any notice given.
  4. Yea, I was joking, they dropped the sub idea after all of the backlash They even dropped the yearly subscription fee for Apple CarPlay (which was BS in the first place)
  5. But what if you decide to get a BMW and just really want to use your heated seat on a cold day?
  6. I believe it was $199/month previously Also, personally, I feel as though monthly subs to use features built into something you own is anti-consumer (yes, I know Tesla isn’t the only to do this).
  7. Bad news: SSD prices are already up like 40-50% from where they were just 4-5 months back You should definitely spend the extra $80-200 for one of those CPU bundles over a 5800x3D if you can, as it’ll not only be a larger (7700x) to a much larger (7800x3D) upgrade vs the 5800x3D for ultimately not much more money (5800x3D is currently ~$310), but also gives you an upgrade path for at least two more AMD CPU generations. Going to a 4070 from a 3060 would be a decent upgrade, BUT, just to put a little perspective, it’s roughly the same as going from your 3060 to a 3080 (but getting DLSS3). So, just keep that in mind - also, it may not be the worst idea to wait for the 5090/5080 release and grabbing a used/on-clearance 4070 Ti Super or 4080/4080 Super in a $500-700 range.
  8. But what if it actually is giving you more content by actually changing things in the play through?
  9. The issue Gen Z has with files/folders is not so much finding things they created and saved (like documents or media), it’s more-so finding things and accessing things that they installed or was installed by an outside source. ie: knowing how to find an .exe file and falling for malware installs (and not knowing how to remove them) My 89 year old grandmother knew how to find word docs she saved. If you can’t do that you likely have some type of greater mental cognition issue that you should have checked out asap.
  10. How many millions did Iran piss away on this only to receive a more-than likely over-response from Israel’s Trump? They’re claiming “mission accomplished” after essentially accomplishing nothing. What was their actual goal?
  11. I understand all this but my original post was in reference to desktop PCs specifically, and why they are struggling today, not the future which I agree will assuredly change to what Gen Z is comfortable with.
  12. Gen Z is Not Tech-Savvy WWW.LINKEDIN.COM The new generation is often described as “tech-savvy.” But what does it really mean? In this article, I argue that this assumption is misleading and that the truth is more complex. Why gen Z’s lack of IT literacy is a serious business risk - Raconteur WWW.RACONTEUR.NET Even though gen Z is the first to have been raised by the internet, its members are relatively poor at cybersecurity The Smartphone Generation Needs Computer Help WWW.THEATLANTIC.COM Young people may be expert social-media and smartphone users, but many lack the digital skills they need for today’s jobs.
