They didn't abandon it, they opened it up to anything running at least Andriod 8.0 or newer. So basically every Andriod device made since 2015 can run Steam Link, maybe not at a quality seen as appropriate but it'll run.

They are not the only person who uses the words for each other. When I was doing my undergrad I found that myself and my fellow students used them pretty loosely goosey. As a native English speaker I've never had any difficulty telling which way a speaker intended labor and work to mean. The context provided enough. I can see how for people who are not native English speakers, but this isn't an academic institution. In casual conversation either or are appropriate.

Would you look at that, Israel said that Hammas was using it as a base of operations.

[s] It's almost like Israel has labeled every Palestinian living in Gaza whose over five years old as a member of Hammas. Hammas must be doing something right to recruit all of them at such a young age. [/s]

So this doesn't apply to the Intel situation, but a good lesson to learn is that the bleeding edge cuts both ways. Meaning that anyone buying the absolute latest technology, there's going to be some friction with usability at first. It should never surmount to broken hardware like the Intel CPUs, but buggy drivers for a few weeks/months is kinda normal. There's no way of knowing what's going to happen when a brand new product is going to be released. The producer must do their due diligence and test for anything catastrophic but weird things happen in the wild that no one can predict. Like I said at the top, this doesn't apply to Intel's situation because it was a catastrophic failure, but if you're ever on the bleeding edge assume eventually you're going to get cut.

Came here to say that. Quirky weird is wanting to wear a propeller hat as an adult because it's fun and no one can tell you no. Creepy weird is wanting to wear a propeller hat to predate on children. They are not the same.

That's because AMD hasn't made a serious entry in the budget space since 2021. Until they release the Ryzen 3 8300 the only modern low end CPUs are made by Intel.

Anyone who says electric cars aren't there are making inaccurate statements at best and at worst are telling non-factual ones. The truth isn't that electric cars aren't ready, is that the energy distribution isn't ready. Only urbanized areas are prepared to offer that much energy at scale and living in an urbanized area you shouldn't need a personal vehicle for most of your travels anyway.

Side note, this is why I think plug-in-hybrids are the baby step we need to achieve first. Even with their obvious flaws they fill the gap between an internal combustion engine and full electric.

Time and distance are really the only things I've found that work. It really sucks to be rejected, but you are deserving of love and respect. On the bright side, you have the opportunity to put all that time and energy you put into your crush into yourself. Do something nice for yourself, you deserve it.

I imagine that the absurdists have already gone through the existentialist crisis and come out on the other side with an acceptance of the seeming meaninglessness of it all...

That was definitely my experience of it. It helped me grow out of my existential angst learning about absurdists and how they just embrace the madness of it all.

While true, it requires time and money to get a case before the court. Which most people don't have. If your rights require you to invest your time and money against a much larger adversarial party in court, then it's not your rights that are being protected in the first place. Right now Big Tech is more worried about us exercising our rights instead of being afraid of trampling on them in the first place.

I think the term you're looking for is called Sexual Dimorphism, and I have only ever heard edge-lord-feminists call it sexism. Most feminists that I have met acknowledge it.

Edit: to be clear while the conversation of gender equity is in part concerned about sexual dimorphism, the human species as a whole is sexually polymorphic. However the discussion of Turner's syndrome, Klinefelter's syndrome, ect is tangentially related.

If they're a fascist and what I'm saying is getting under their skin, yeah I'll call them all that. With apologies to the groups that I disparage.
