Not trying to discount anyone's situation, but if you are in the USA and have the option, move out of the bigger cities and into the countryside. Land is cheap, houses can still be cheap and in some areas there aren't enough people to live in the houses so they are super cheap. Buy a house with the land, work remotely since high speed Internet is everywhere more or less. I live in a super small town that was crushed by NAFTA and only the local hospital keeps the community alive since it brings in a lot of good jobs.

Just remember the DoD have the troops and get all the budget money, the VA have the veterans that don't get shit! If the DoD budget didn't have to go up every year then maybe we could actually have money for other things.
A steam deck with a mouse and keyboard is kind of horrible, I have tried that. And maybe things have changed, how well does Steam OS do as a primary OS? I might look into it again.
Server side ads sound more expensive for Google to me. I'll just use some future plugin that blacks out the screen or whatever if it comes to that.
It costs what $30k a year to keep someone in prison? Great use to taxpayer money for that $100 theft.
Biden isn't a boomer, he's from the generation before, the silent generation.
What is the "younger millennial" part of the comment about? I'm one of the older millennials and feel this way. Heck I know some Gen X guys that grew up playing video games and feel this way.
There is no learning, companies just move to different antivirus. The new hotness, the cycle repeats over and over until the new antivirus does this same shit. Look at McAfee in 2010, in fact the CEO of Crowdstrike was the CTO of McAfee then. That easily took down millions of windows XP machines.
Facebook is full of those articles now, I'm sure the times I go on there and click on them to read the comments only encourages things but the comments are just so fascinating to read.
I mean, Microsoft themselves regularly shits the bed with updates, even with Defender updates. It's the nature of security, they have to have that kind of access to stop legit malware. That's why these kind of outages happen every few years. This one just got to much coverage from the banking and airline issues. And I'm sure future outages will continue to get similar coverage.
But the Crowdstrike CEO was also at McAfee in 2010 when they shit the bed and shut down millions of XP machines so it seems like he needs a different career...
Duh, that's why I said that in the first sentence, it's not for everyone.
