So the fuckers can learn!

I had smack and crack habits off and on for almost twenty years. Never stole anything (aside from occasionally shoplifted food). I always worked and paid for my shit. However there are an awful lot of people out there who use their habits to justify shitty behaviour, so yeah, I'd err on the side of caution.
Yeah, fediverse platforms aren't going to seriously compete against the big corporate ones until the user experience is as simple.
Better hope a cat gets him before he finds another Jesus and they breed. Then you've got an infestation.
Yeah, I'm sure a lot of what they assume is shoplifting is actually internal. That's going to happen if companies don't pay their employees enough to cover food and rent.
I've no problem with idiots who drink it, they shouldn't be allowed to give it to their kids though.
My issue is power consumption. Where I live, I rely on solar panels and batteries, and the steam deck is less power hungry than a laptop with graphics card.
Hmm yeah I was thinking about possibly trying to boot from a usb. Haven't done that with linux since the 90s, I guess I assumed the linux os thingie would be too big or too slow. Maybe I'll give that a try, thanks for the suggestion.
Yeah I've been out of the loop with tech for fuckin decades. Bought the laptop a while back without knowing about the Nvidia ting. TBH I mostly start the laptop up maybe once a week for spreadsheets, calibre, and as a file transfer medium. I'd planned on using it for gaming too but then I got a steam deck. But yeah, there's some stuff I can't easily do on steam deck and I'm really getting sick of fuckin windows. Every time I start the machine it's trying to install some new AI shit or something. I don't need that, just want a working computer!
But you're right - next time I buy a laptop - if I need to - I'm thinking AMD for sure.
Edit - also because of my living situation (I don't live in a house, all my electric comes from a solar panel) power consumption is a real issue for me. And that laptop is power hungry.
Yeah I don't either. I have an oled steam deck, my mate has an LCD one. I can't really see much difference TBH, they're both great little machines.
I've heard linux has problems with laptops with Nvidia cards, like I have. Is this still an issue? I'm getting pretty fucked off with windows but frankly don't have time to embark on an ongoing technical challenge.
Yeah, I recently replayed homeworld 1 and 2 and they hold up well. Still haven't played Deserts of Kharak but that looks good too. I've not played 3 either but unfortunately I've heard it's not great.
