I've heard the explanation that they're not working on the half life series because they want to have bigger leaps in innovation, but then they work on a moba/hero shooter.

What is that magic number?

They block pop-up windows but now website designers have discovered they can just do soft pop-ups. The worst websites have at least 3, the cookie wall, the newsletter and some pay wall or offer, often overlapping.

Nebula has some of the better creators anyway.

I have premium and still use it just for this.

Giving it a whirl right now. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks MKBHD for not sucking corporate dick and actually showing issues with products and helping people make informed decisions on their purchases, right?

I'm sorry to be that guy but I'm genuinely curious. Source?

If I can't notice a difference while playing games, web browsing, video and photo editing, and working in blender and cad software, what is left to define slow operation? It operating slow should be something noticeable for it to be an issue.

It used to be a problem in windows 98 days, I remember as much. And it is a problem on my work computer but that is day one config from the company, not over time degradation.

Like I said, I dislike windows and it's dark pattern bullshit as much as the next guy, but performance has not been one of my issues with it on my personal devices.

That hasn't really been my experience. The computers I own have had windows for multiple years. I tend to install it when first setting up and never again.

The work laptop has good specs but trash performance from day one that I got it. I had a laptop that I gave away that was much lower spec than the work laptop and it ran better in every way, probably because it had none of the bloat.

Windows in my opinion has huge issues in other areas but performance hasn't been one of them in the last 15 years for me, probably in part because I avoid running any heavy services in the background.
