shallow immediate confident authoritative answers; upon inspection falls apart immediately. sometimes can be beaten by repeat questioning into wisdom. by accident, beauty witnessing unfathomable NPC stupidity, but also invokes a hidden genius operating as though designed to troll first

ya, that is my experience as well

People were reporting their accounts were being taken over with proper 2fa. Everyone had wondered how they hackers could take over accounts with little information, people were saying "inside job."

This is exactly the stupid explanation I expected. Your privacy and security. Meta. Serious Business.

The funniest thing Verizon did was start their own bank. They wanted to create a new payment option on everyone's phone using NFC. Then bill and process payments via your existing telephone bill. Front runner app before Apple/Samsung/Google Pay services and potentially Visa/MC market disruption for insane profits.

Verizon called it ISIS

Gamers do the same thing.

Once the TVs became video cards with filtering and fake refresh rates this was always our fate.

Monitors and default video card drivers have had issues in the past. You'd think the TVs would update their filters with as much spyware data mining they do. But alas, your TV will likely never improve by software in any significance. History has proven that.

Disabling all the features to the hardware spec is best, never connecting a smarttv to the net. Interested in any true exceptions.

In 2025 data storage used by nation states, exposed to the internet, has no backups.

No offsite backups. No onsite backups. No usb drives laying around unsecure in a closet. Nothing.

Total marketshare was estimated at 1.5% for Linux gaming.

The survey comes direct from Valve's Steam Survey. Potential bias aside the Steamdeck alone is estimated at 40%. Arch and Ubuntu ~8% each.

Is there any other trustworthy metric of all "Linux Gamers" out there? I'm curious how much using the Steam Client effects or tilts results towards systems that easily run Steam. Self selection at it's finest. My logic side knows that with only a 1.5% rounding error to the total "PC" gaming isn't market significant. I should be happy with the trend.

I own a Steamdeck. But it's like how my friends use their Nintendo systems. As an extension of my PC windows I was already personal project time with SteamOS and SteamLink. Point is, I wouldn't consider myself in the 1.5% even though I game wherever.

A common Microsoft criticism is EEE. Learned about that from Sun.
