Give linux a shot, it's surprising how many games work via steam or wine(once you remove the distro wine/mesa and install newer release)

I prefer Mint/mate or xfce for desktop.

I to was looking at UTOPIA, but since that never materialized I am now google fiber. CenturyLink screwed me w/ their forever price lock guarantee that lasted a year to which they claimed they never had it(despite the fact I still had their flyer) Also their service in my area maxed out at 12mbs...

Comcast, I want to see them and AT&T burn to the ground along with all the executives. Such thieves and piece of sh*ts. Comcast takes billions and billions of money from the government per year and pockets it, and yes, as you pointed out, prevents competitors like UTOPIA

grrrr now I am all ranty

Looks like they stop it it, and had MS delete data. Although MS claims it takes up to 90 days to delete data.

Care to explain to someone who has played mmorpg but not familiar w/ wow?

bah, if they had done this as a response to Microsoft sabotage and EOL win7 that would have ment something, instead they did the opposite and helped kill win7.

They didn't have to take away steam access on win7, but they did.

she was hated in cali by most everyone because she was bad at her job and got caught sleeping her way up the chain.

She got roasted so bad when running for the Dem ticket on facts and her record.

The stock market is going down because the rich and large funds are selling lots and lots. The price of stock is not directly effected by how the company is doing, but by is more people selling or buying.

Again when stocks gown a lot, its because rich people or fun managers, etc, are selling massive amounts.

That's also why the PE is so bonkers and gets "recalibrated" ever so often, people keep investing into 401ks, the price keeps going up. Biden gives out free money, supply is down, people put in market, rich people get richer.

I and others can sometimes see the difference when comparing 1080 to 720, but not when watching.

again, this is my 50-52inch 4k TV (also my 48 inch 1080 tv) distances from 5-12 feet for most people.

Me and my family cant tell the difference when actually watching a movie on a 50inch tv between 720, 1090, 4k. I'm not talking comparison where people are not watching the movie but looking for differences.

Cartoon, animated anime stuff I can almost get away with 480 without people noticing.

yes, and many of us rarely post anymore... sad. I also rarely moderate, so many discussions so shallow with number of posts or depth

I have a newer Brother HL-L2390DW, and I can confirm that they have taken measures to prevent the use of 3rd party ink. They just are not as good at blocking it yet. (and while I was dealing with issues, they admitted they block 3rd party ink) It was a game for me to get ink other than their really expensive stuff to work.

Again, they are not as good, and now they are getting heat about it appear to be back pedaling on enforcing only their ink.

End users don't get to chose, it's always imposed and they chose for you. Even places that allow sms as an option also block non first party cell providers (blocking Google phone, skype, internet phones)

AI can apparently pass are you human test than me....

Tor is so so so slow. And it may not get you around the blocks as you don't control where you going to be?

wanna get something that's blocked in country x, and your exit point is y and it's blocked there too?

And then you are blocked from a big part of the web including google echo system.

This is exactly what zions bank did, and when they didnt lose enough, they pushed hard to write people up for "same day" and eventual fire them with a list of trivial things like complaining of co-workers in 1:1 with a manager.
