How is this false story still getting pushed to the top?
We literally just had a thread about it earlier this week. It was debunked.
The same story came up years ago, and it was debunked then too.
People will just believe anything these days.

None of these problems are really dealbreakers for a consumer-oriented file system in 2023. Not even ext4 supports CoW. Now that everyone boots off an SSD, things like file fragmentation no longer matter, and most of NTFS’ continued slowness has more to do with Windows itself than the actual file system.
ReFS is Microsoft’s new file system meant for more advanced use cases. It supports many but not all of these advanced features. Starting with Windows 11, you can actually boot off a ReFS drive, though I’m not sure that is a recommended configuration.
People have been saying these things since 2020 and it has convinced me that people in online gaming forums are out of touch.
Here’s my argument against the Series X though:
It has nothing I can’t play on my PC. Even though Sony has started releasing their games on PC, their ports usually come years later. I don’t hold this against Microsoft though, I’m more than happy to play games like Halo on PC instead of buying another console.
Sony console exclusives are better and more numerous than Xbox exclusives. This has been the case since the Xbox One.
The DualSense is a way cooler controller. I’m pretty miffed that the Xbox controller still doesn’t have a gyroscope, When utilized properly a gyroscope makes aiming in shooters a lot easier.
So the way I see it, there isn’t much reason to buy a Series X beyond its awesome backwards compatibility.
The bigger problems Apple has are their enterprise device and user management, and the fact that many businesses are still reliant on Windows-only software.
Most companies I’ve worked for buy machines that usually aren’t much cheaper than Apple equivalents, at least in terms of MSRP, despite the quality often being worse. My work-provided 2022 HP Z-Book 15 is more expensive as configured than my personal M2 14" MacBook Pro, and is still a shittier machine in just about every objective (and subjective) way I can think of. This is because enterprises typically buy business class laptops like Lattitudes and ThinkPads rather than lower cost (and less durable) consumer oriented machines. That said, it is not uncommon for IT departments at large enterprises to pay well under MSRP for these machines when buying in bulk.
Not to defend the scumbag or this scammy “web3” nonsense, but working for studios not part of the AMPTP during a strike does not necessarily make someone a scab. If the studio in question has their own contract with SAG then it’s 100% kosher.
This is why a lot of “indie” productions from studios like A24 are going forward while the rest of Hollywood is stuck doing nothing.
I don’t really like Destiny as a game, but the way Bungie has been handling their community is top notch. I love their low tolerance for bullshit. Other developers should be taking notes.
It’s like Dvorak. You can be ~5% faster once you get over the turly enormous learning curve. The problem is, for most people, that 5% does not justify the huge initial investment.
Assuming you can find one that actually does what you want
99% of my play is docked and I don’t like that half the cost of my console went into making it portable rather than faster.
I hate the dumpster fire that is “definitive edition” as much as the next person, but…
It’s not $60 for San Andreas, that’s the price for all three bad remasters.
It’s not an ENB mod, actual artists made new shittier assets, and developers poorly ported the game to a new engine.
And this horse was already beaten into a fine paste over a year ago.
To be fair, the .website TLD basically screams “I AM SPAM”
I have Premium plus I use uBlock and have never had a problem.
The 10 episode seasons are to satisfy Anson Mount, who didn’t want to commit to more than that per year.
I know this will be a controversial opinion, but I’ve enjoyed The Orvill less as it’s gotten more serious. I bounced off season 4 because the first two episodes were pretty dark and depressing.
TOS also has some truly awful episodes, but it’s pretty easy to ignore them.
I think the low points of DSC and PIC stick out for two reasons:
Did nobody read the article? Nowhere does it say they would make Windows cloud-only. They’re talking about renting out virtual machines.
In this case, the problem was solved over 60 years ago. This billionaire decided to reject the tried and tested solution and came up with their own.
And then proceeded to post no content or comments. Definitely suspicious.
Yet Another Chromium forK
Have they? VRR support in Linux is still a total crapshoot in my experience. VRR doesn’t work at all with multiple displays in X.
