I'm sorry, my goal wasn't to be a bother. My initial comment was intended to be friendly and funny - I'm not trying to patronize or be antagonistic. I learned a couple of years ago that I have autism, so I should have learned my lesson by now and stopped trying to be funny; It never pans out the way I mean for it to.

Hope I wasn't too much of a drag on your day, and I hope it gets better for you.

With that said, a genuine question with no jokes: Can you help me understand how 2016 counts as recent, given the context? It was almost a decade ago, and I'm having trouble comprehending how it counts at all as recent since in tech "recent" usually means "in the last 2-3 years" unless you're comparing to something from a much longer time ago like the 90s.

It was a lighthearted jab at calling 8 years ago recent; Not a political statement about Apple or operating systems.

8 years is a ton of time in tech, CPUs from 2016 are ancient. Single-core CPU performance has doubled in Intel's laptop chips since then, and modern laptop CPUs from Intel are often 12-core, versus the top end 2016 MacBook Pro having 4 cores.

Not trying to start any fights, was just poking fun at the choice to call 2016 recent

I can read, and a 2016 MacBook pro is not even a bit recent; It's from 8 years ago :-)

Just a bit of light-hearted leg pulling, nothing to get worked up over

I hate to break it to you friendo, but 8 year old hardware isn't recent. It may still be usable, but that doesn't make it recent. It's ok though grandpa, let's get you back to bed

The dual GPU problem has actually for the most part also been solved; Optimus rarely poses a problem these days

I think their point was that some head boards don't go to the floor

Honestly this thing solved a very specific problem for me: My car has no good way to mount a phone for car usage so I've always kept it in the center console. Car Thing just put a remote on my dash for that with buttons for presets and easy song skipping.

I only got it for $10 though, and that was two years ago. It has convinced me to get a new head unit with Android Auto support on it for sure

They didn't ask permission before pushing Copilot, why would they ask permission for this?

I bought the whole RAM, I'm gonna use the whole RAM

It's a fair bit more than that, but yes in a sense it is RAID if you are using it across more than one drive (as you should). You can use ZFS on a single drive though, so it's a middle ground situation.

The main thing is to avoid hardware RAID controllers unless you have a really good reason, and that's generally what most people refer to as RAID. Generally folks are moving to JBOD setups with filesystems like ZFS now though

Reject raid, ZFS supremacy

I haven't tried SC2 in a while but I seem to recall it working fine for me a few years ago. Dunno. Lutris has good details on the website for tons of stuff, no idea what that looks like for SC2 tho
