      I was looking at a lot of his stuff (linus) when I was building my new PC and that guy came off as such a big fucking AMD shill lol.

      In the end I stuck with nvidia.

      My PC is a full AMD build and I have nothing bad to say about it, it’s performance or how it performs compared to Intel/Nvidia builds.

      They did up their game lately, but the way Linus was unapologetically shilling for them so hard turned me off.

      In the end, it was also about me just being more familiar with NVIDA/intel.

      I could probably have saved some money with an AMD build.

        Well, familiarity is a plus. I’ve run AMD CPUs for quite long, but always with Nvidia cards.
        A couple years ago I decided to do a full AMD build so the ecosystem helped itseld. Motherboard, drivers, data pipes, RAM access, even the monitor Vsync, all that stuff being managed by a single brand makes sense to me, and it works very fine.

          Damn. Look at the directory listing for c:\windows for Windows 1.04.

          That’s all there was to it.

                It would have been. From what I understand, Windows 1 wasn’t much more than a glorified menu system and a shared clipboard.

                A search tells me the gorilla game came out in 1990. You can play it here:

                  @Hog that’s it. That and mine sweeper. People were fired at work for playing those games. Solitaire and Mahjongg were big ones to.

                    vi was written in 1976.

                    And 10 years later it was surpassed by a far superior editor!!!

                    Ok boomer!!!

                        Don’t worry, you’ll be able to go back to manual-save-only Notepad if you want.

                        OMG. Auto-save now in Notepad. What’s next? AI integration?

                                    Google thinks Shorts-style videos in the Play Store will supercharge app discovery

                                    Yeah that’s exactly what it needs. I was starting to worry I could still see the actual search results even with the ads, “limited time events”, more ads, “you might also like”, and “similar apps” sections crammed into the search results.

                                      So we will be bombarded with Tiktoks all day long? I am beginning to think Ted Kaczynski was right.
