I sub to channels and use Youtubes recommendations and new for you to find additional channels etc but I don't watch them I use Metube and a browser plugin and download the videos to a directory. I don't get all the privacy but I also am not giving them much watch data and I can avoid the ads.

Microsoft remains convinced we want clippy everywhere regardless of how many times we have rejected these solutions!

Depends on the headset, they don't all work on Linux unfortunately.

Looks lovely. If it drives as well as Assetto Corsa and adds some of the modern physics features (which looks like with the puddles and night time) and it doesn't loose any features it will be pretty popular. I am still hoping they will expand the features a bit especially on multiplayer game play and scheduled ranked servers.

Universities have been running Linux since the very early versions. Slackware was pretty common back in the 90s and 2000s and universities had labs full of them not least because there weren't really laptops so they had to have enough machines for all the students. Universities have been heavily involved in the development of unix from its inception and a lot of the tools were initially written by university professors.

This has been ridiculous. I have no idea how long my CPU will last and whether it will just randomly start failing. Intel has run out of spares and it seems to have had so many stabs at fixing the problem now that if we believe this is really the last one we are the fools.

These CPUs need a recall.

A right to repair is long overdue but more than that when it comes to medical devices it's obvious battery replacement is going to be necessary and should be user accessible.

Having now flooded the internet with bad AI content not surprisingly its now eating itself. Numerous projects that aren't AI are suffering too as the quality of text reduces.

Twitter is defined entirely by what is followed, you can stay completely out of the toxic far right stuff and block those that don't know where they are. There are still plenty of sub communities there that exist no where else and you can control your feed better than Lemmy and other forum like systems. Twitter overall is declinimg but it's not the full picture because what is happening doesn't impact lots of people who use the platform that much.

They are a lot more expensive than expected at the moment, once they start selling at the 30$/KWh they were proposed at they will be fantastic but if they stay at their current price LFP is going to be a lot cheaper.

The first attempt of many, the tech industry will normalise a subscription model alongside the hardware they just need to find the right justification that doesn't have universal push back. It worked for games, the trojan horse used was (often token) multiplayer addition and it will work in hardware too once they find the right combination.

AMD has unfortunately a long history of abandoning products before its reasonable on its graphics division. Its not really acceptable, up until earlier this year my NAS/server was running a 3600 and its only for power saving purposes I changed that as its still a very workable CPU in that role.
