This post is a few days old but I thought I'd mention that I recently bought Win 11 Pro OEM here: https://software.pcworld.com/
Apparently this is a legit licence unlike the grey-market ones you can get off Kinguin or something like that.

He mostly seemed to have it in for Brian Gutekunst.

I'll have to disagree there. When you Favourite a post, the person that posted it gets a notification about the fact, while if you Bookmark something no notification is sent. In effect you are telling the person that you "Liked" their post.

Also, looking at the Explore section of Mastodon the following message is shown at the top of the feed:

These are posts from across the social web that are gaining traction today. Newer posts with more boosts and favorites are ranked higher.

So those Favourites are used by the algorithm to rank posts. Bookmarks are totally private and only used to save posts for your own use.

I don't see it that way. There are separate options to Favourite or Bookmark a post. To me Bookmarking something is so you can refer to it later, although nothing is stopping you using Favourites that way.

They are very expensive and not everyone has a garage where they can charge them. I can only park on the street so I would have to go to a charging point and sit in my car for the whole time it charges. Not as convenient as pumping petrol into my car for 2 minutes.

I recently got my first FreeSync monitor and it's the best thing ever. Everything looks so smooth!

I would get a 2TB SSD instead of 1TB. The size of games these days is insane!

Wasted? I've browsed more dank memes than all of my ancestors combined.

I saw your other reply in this thread. I personally would go for the new 6650 XT. I don't like buying used parts as I feel I'm buying a part with a reduced lifespan, and I feel the 6650 XT is plenty for 1080p.

[–] talos 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Oh, I see. In that case, are you going for 1080p at 60fps or do you have a monitor with a higher framerate? If you are aiming for 60fps then the 6700XT is probably overkill.

Get the RX 6700 XT and get a 1440p monitor. 1440p at High settings looks way better than 1080p at Ultra settings. I have the 6750 XT and play in 1440p and I'm so glad I chose that over 1080p.
