This is something I'd do if I've had the disposable income lol

Non-Steam games have a lower chance of working

Wonder if it's true for GOG games because they are usually installed in a neatly packaged folder without any bloat.

Already down to $280 https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/1uz0grn/cpu_...

Honestly (apart from the general hardware parts pricing crisis) the problem is that you can get the 7800X3D for almost the same price or just slightly more. Especially if you have a Micro Center nearby you.

But it's not bad if you can find a good combo deal with a mobo and RAM, https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=4812%204019%204020%204021&Srch...

Certainly less evil than Exxon Mobil, Microsoft, Saudi Aramco, Meta, JPMorgan Chase, UnitedHealth, Coca-Cola, Oracle, Palantir, Goldman Sachs, LVMH, McDonalds, etc.

Certainly… according to who? I think some of these companies are, certainly, less evil than Google

If you like this I highly recommend the Air Traffic Controller series

Interestingly there is no mention of semantics or what does actually "TV watching" mean.

I have friends who self admittedly don't "watch TV" but they watch every single hyped up Netflix series available.

Are they watching TV? By this study they probably not. Are they watching TV? I'd say most likely yes, they also use the device called TV to watch Netflix

Strikingly, the sedentary element of TV watching didn’t appear to be the main driver for these changes.

Those who reported high amounts of sitting at work actually had larger frontal and occipital lobes, as well as reduced white matter hyperintensity volumes, indicating better brain health than among those who sit to watch TV. This could be due to the intellectually stimulating nature of many sit-down jobs, say the study authors.

I still don't get what makes korean brands _extra_ shitty. Like these dark patterns are all over the world but somehow korean brands crank it up to one more level.

I'm not american but afaik it's very common. The US is on a different level though, see the flags in the suburbia, the pledge of allegiance in school's every morning etc.

But I'd say it's not "too much nationalism" rather the average american is defintiely more patriotic than an average european (who can then again be anyone from the UK to Poland to Moldova) but you get my point

Mac Mini will be made in Houston (they already make their own servers there) https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/02/apple-accelerates-us-...

There is a drop in compatible FOSS clone of Z80 https://github.com/rejunity/z80-open-silicon

Volkswagen Group for example. Most of their brands are like this, Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda. Carplay/Android Auto is in the head unit but you have to pay 200-300€ to unlock unless it’s part of the trim level you choose.

"Never Settle"

Well it's settled then

Took me 1 min to find the first album in FLAC, probably the other two is available too

Another good Jurassic Park content is this filming locations video. Almost everything can still be visited today https://youtu.be/34r8Ypxzkk4

Yes, rpm-ostree solves that

https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/rpm...

https://coreos.github.io/rpm-ostree/

SteamOS and Bazzite both use Xwayland through gamescope which is the worst option as it seems https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope

Avoid XWayland. It added 3.13 ms of latency, more than all other effects combined.

I actually want that in Path of Exile 2. Not because of the massive passive tree but the combination of active skill gems and the unique items providing certain skills and effects. I saw a 0 button build a couple of days ago and I wonder if anything “haven’t been found yet”

For single countries though the Interrail not worth it, or more like make your own research

For example in Hungary we have an unlimited pass for ~53€ a month, valid on all trains and multiple public transport options (almost everything in Budapest included) https://bkk.hu/en/tickets-and-passes/prices/hungary-pass-ful...

Whereas a 3 days in 1 month Interrail pass is 79€ https://www.interrail.com/en/interrail-passes/one-country-pa...

Yes

users should flag articles that they think break the site guidelines

I'm more and more think that link actually hurts the site more than helps. It's a gotcha against everything, can be used a sword and a shield too.

See the part about politics. There is more and more US domestic politics post here (which I actually flag all the time) yet when the topic comes up people will say: "should hackers turn their back on when the world burns" So basically everything goes as long as it fits the narrative.

And the worst offender imo is the last part about reddit. Because I do _really agree_ that HN is more and more like reddit, if not already is. This very post with the comments where everyone is asking for a downvote button is a perfect example of that.

You don't

30 is f2p from the top 100

From the remaining paid 70 there are 2 softwares (Wallpaper Engine and Crosshair X)

From the remaining 67 there are 2 versions of ARK Survival and GTAV so we can count those once.

That leaves us with 65 games

From the 65 games 13 are available on GOG:

- Baldur's Gate 3

- Cyberpunk 2077

- Factorio

- Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

- Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

- Project Zomboid

- RimWorld

- Stardew Valley

- Stellaris

- Terraria

- The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

That’s 1 out of 5 which is better than I've guessed (1 out of 10)

That entirely depends on the games you want to play. Check the most played games on Steam and how many of them are available on GOG. 1 out of 10 or even less.

The CPU will be a bottleneck even if you use ~7 years old RTX 2060. Anything newer just wouldn't work.

Honestly buying a 15 years old CPU is just an own goal when it will be outperformed by any modern budget i3

I think it's driven more about piracy than anything else. Steam is not an alternative if you hate digital only games. PC as a platform (and that can mean anything from Windows to Linux to Mac) is an alternative as cheaper gaming becasue 1, you can pirate games easier 2, you can emulate older games.

It really comes down to the next PS6 exclusive, would people buy a console just to play Dark Souls 4? That's the billion dollar question
