Really? Because the right doesn't throw the Nazi card around like there's no tomorrow at the left with their disingenuous "national socialism bullshit". Only one party/political leaning is actually courting the neo-nazi vote.

Presumably they wanted something a bit more thorough and clear than a table of numbers with no information besides:

These tests were done on various hardware running games, both old and new, with and without the new driver being active.

“The social rating figures don’t affect [a person’s] life, the availability of services or the career trajectory in any way,” RSSU said on the platform’s website. “But who knows what these figures will mean for you in the future?”

Well that's a relief...

For anyone who is unclear, this is a pirated content service, for better or worse.

I'm struggling to transition still, honestly... Windows visualised as a street gives me access to all the shops and window browsing I need, everyone wants to be there and get my attention, and despite the masses of intrusive advertising and shady people around every corner watching me, I don't have to actively navigate the street itself very much. It's a dystopian street of neon distractions and side hustles but you can mostly shut it out and walk.

Linux as a street is a lot barer, the street is cleaner and less intrusive, I'm not being watched from the alleyways... but there are knee high walls every few meters, there are open manhole covers here and there, and I have to actively persuade some shops to let me in or even open.

I don't walk down a paved street for the joy of navigating an assault course, I walk down it to get places with the least amount of friction possible and I just can't seem to get that from Linux yet. Then again Windows would like to start stopping me every few meters and asking intrusive questions or hocking me tat, so my move is inevitable.

As of 2016, their name is preferably Czechia. ^^'

To be clear, as of 2016, they changed their name to Czechia. ^^'

If only elements of the the West hadn't spent decades undermining their own education systems, and those of countries around them, to create a more pliant workforce. Who could have foreseen problems?!?

Yeah, the small tat items and accessories, as I said.

A huge amount of products are just generic Chinese products that have a brand slapped on it. If you've ever bought a random small USB device (i.e USB hubs, etc) from a major brand like LogiTech and others, if you crack it open it is just the same device as cheap resellers with a branded coating. It's not worth it to many companies to bother manufacturing their own small tat so they just sub-contract out.

And sure, it likely works, but it's the exact same hardware with the same capabilities as a product a 10th of the price.

Thanks, it's the culmination of a lot of thought and a previous attempt by my manager and I to rework things to make it better but hasn't really worked out. Onwards and upwards, I'd still intend to find a job during the 3 months notice period before I'm set loose so ideally I won't lose the "tempt me away" factor before I get a new gig.

It's contractual, I'm going to serve my notice period.
