  • On the other hand, I set up a dual boot with 1 of my 4 ssds being available to both OS just in case. That was 8 or so months ago, and I haven’t booted into Windows 10 once since then.

    My 165hz monitors are fine at 165, and that was without any config (NobaraOS). All the games I actively play work fine, and the closest thing to an issue is have is my H.O.T.A.S. registering only 12 or so buttons/switches instead of the much larger amount it has, but i haven’t put any effort into figuring it out because I only use it for one game.

    Experiences vary, but I feel like you’re judging a whole platform from choosing a simple Windows replacement then switching to one of the harder OS’s to setup.

    There’s plenty designed more for gaming which seems to be your monitor setup.


  • I’m going to need significant levels of convincing. Computers have always preferred specificity and accuracy, it’s half the reason I’m in my current position (MSP Escalations/level 3, half of my success at fixing issues is being extremely specific in looking up exact error messages instead of paraphrasing).

    This isn’t a defense of AI; on the contrary, it’s my doubt that AI can read intentions/inflection/emotion better than just writing out what you actually want.



  • Sure. It’s possible you may. However, you sound like a 12 year old boy claiming something grandiose. If you really have a relationship that you cannot disclose, don’t go telling people that. No one will believe you, unless they’re the type to fall for Alex Jones level nonsense. Claims require proof, or at least common or searchable knowledge, otherwise who can take your claim seriously?

    I could claim I also know a billionaire and claim the opposite of you. Or that the billionaire you know is just a moron. Many of them are.

    Edit: Also, why do people always assume everyone would do the same thing as themselves? Just because you wouldn’t carry a cell phone doesn’t mean everyone has the same paranoia as you.





  • Not all of us will do it to the same degree though. IT security has always been a sliding scale between security and convenience. The most secure data is stored in a locked safe without being turned on or connected to anything. That’s not very practical, so we make concessions based on how often we need such data and other convenience metrics.

    I’m not as paranoid as the OP, though I agree with some of the stuff said. Reasonable security measures are fine; you don’t need to look like a digital version of a prepper with a bunker, for most people.

    Edit: for instance I don’t use my TV all that much, but it is a “smart” TV, meaning it has apps that connect to Internet, and I have some online libraries.











  • Actors make movies and thats it.

    That’s the thing, if that’s all they did a little opinion difference wouldn’t matter. I also wouldn’t care. That’s not what they do though, they use their money and fame harm others. He went on Glenn Beck to support his 9/12 movement, was outspoken about being anti-lgbt, and donated money to those causes. Similar to JK Rowling, who some say to just ignore, then she also started donating her wealth to bigoted causes as well.

    Assuming rich and famous people’s opinions can’t cause actual harm is just ignorance.
