No fix planned for Ryzen 3000 is a disappointment

Almost definitely. Between hunting rats in cow carcass pits, eating strange bushmeat on safaris and a lifelong habit of collecting more roadkill than he has room for, it's almost certain he's consumed something parasitic as a result

Probably because he helped get it off the road after she hit it. I don't think he's being sexist here, I think he quite likely did encounter a woman who had hit a bear. He apparently has a whole thing for roadkill meat, and is more than happy to make it his problem.

The guy is stranger than fiction.

I like CDs, but I guess I can't really call myself a kid anynore though, being in my mid twenties. I typically use Spotify for discovery/casual listening but but an album on CD or digitally through Bandcamp when the option is presented to me. I went out of my way to buy a 25 disc CD changer.

Vinyl have definitely become way more popular for physical music purchases, but I like the smaller footprint of a CD.

I do think the vast majority of people use Youtube Music, Spotify or a similar service though. It's inexpensive, has family plans and optical media players just aren't common anymore.

Wat. This has nothing to do with Windows 11 system requirements.

Well I thank you for your contribution regardless. Roku is all I've got, so it helps to have people like you annoyed enough, and knowledgable enough to contribute.

It occurs to me I've literally never tried to play my music library through Roku. I usually just cast to a speaker with my phone. Is it part of the main branch?

I see this comment every now and then, and it always forgets the cost of the transaction, confirmation time, and of course, the need for miners to exist to process these confirmations/transactions. The energy cost is extraordinary, and the end user is taxed for the use of their own dollars.

It's not really feasible on a broad scale. Bitcoin is a holding stock, not a valid currency. Its value only increases because it manufactures its own scarcity. And as its scarcity increases, it naturally moves toward centralization since mining becomes too large an activity for the individual to reap any benefit. You can argue for proof of stake to eliminate the need for mining, but then you open the doors to centralization more immediately.

If I'm remembering right, RHEL is Crowdstrike's primary Linux target. And NixOS wouldn't even be a factor since it's basically just not enterprise grade.

That said, they need a serious revision of their QA processes.

What are you, an apostle? Lol. This issue affects Windows, but it's not a Windows issue. It's wholly on CrowdStrike for a malformed driver update. This could happen to Linux just as easily given how CS operates. I like Linux too, but this isn't the battle.

Imo, plugins should have separate config files, with uniform, consistent formatting. Separating them ensures that plugins never modify primary configuration details, they can be updated independently, or deprecated without affecting future functionality. It also means you can take regular and reliable backups of each config.

Depending on the developer, and the scale of their game, these things can also be incredible cheap to produce too. If your gameplay/monetary loop is something designed to arbitrarily force a player to wait to accomplish something or otherwise spend money, then you can drastically reduce the amount of content that needs to be added as long as you have an adequate base.

Even if you spend money, loot box mechanics and randomized stats can push players to continue to spend because while they got an item, they didn't get the perfect item. Base builders, team combat titles and character based games are very, very effective at this.

For developers like the one behind Evony, they can be a lot cheaper because that game, and a hundreds like it have existed all the way back as far as farmville and earlier. They just got better at the monetization loop over time.
