All I see these mini-PCs as, as just personal PCs. The kind you boot up, record things on like private documents, power off and proceed to do other tasks and things on your more expensive machine that can handle the workload. Like they’re meant to be PCs you do not want people discovering or see you using, so to say.
I just have a hard time seeing mini PCs as primary devices for everyday use, especially when their upkeep is poor and temperature management is poorer.
Well, get ready because within the next 4 years, their uneducated and stupid voices will be even louder. They got a government now who’ll enable this behavior.
This is what I hate with the state of the gaming industry now. They’ve instilled the mindset in me, where there are games I would’ve ideally love to get and play. But, the skepticism of my mind is ever-churning, so I’m working around to find out what about the game that I will not like about it than there is to like about it. Like whether the game was made by a studio who’ll be shut down later because of unrealistic expectancies. Whether the game is going to one day be free-to-play.
Just so many guesses and it’s robbed me of the simple concept of just getting a game, playing it and enjoying it. That’s what the gaming industry has done, is bastardize what I should be looking for out of games. Because the industry just fucks one thing up after another every damn year from shutting down studios, passing up on better projects in favor of this shitty ass live-service, MTX ridden one and flaunting how well they’ve taken advantage of every gullible “GAMURRR” that wastes their money on feeding into the shit that is served to them.
And they take those clown awards and throw them onto any review that praises said game that they never bought or played. The Steam Community as a whole is…astoundingly stupid.
I think this comment should be pinned honestly.
VPNs are not required. Instead of egressing on your ISPs network, you’re egressing on someone else’s network. It’s kinda like paying for a second ISP so you can egress your ISP to go encrypted to your other ISP. What does it accomplish other than putting you in another law jurisdiction?
I…what?
How am I paying for another person’s ISP when I’m mooching off of their network to pirate from?
Okay, so the two examples you’ve provided about those VPN services, have nothing to do at all about piracy. One is about cyberstalking and the other was about a child abuse investigation. Those are arguably more serious than piracy in comparison.
At that point do you think you’ll get some form of compensation from the VPN provider?
The fuck are you on?
Why are you posting something years ago?
