There’s a “hub” mode where your endpoint inside the network grants access to the whole network like a standard VPN server.

Can just say: nope. No difference for me.

I thought of him first thing when I heard the news, but posting that, at least on Reddit, always gets a hoard of haters going.

I didn’t say don’t be loud, I’m saying don’t be a useful idiot for the other side at the same time. Apparently you want to misunderstand the point completely.

Fuck up the DNC libs, establishment democrats, etc! From the inside of possible.

Just don’t play into the hands of the Nazis by using rhetoric that makes their job of “pretending to not be the worst humans possible” easier.

And who do they draw from? The active base. If the complaints are loud enough, broad enough, from inside the party, that’s when they will have no choice.

“Oh there’s the dnc, can’t do anything, move on” is not a productive way to fight these things.

Use constructive criticism. Criticize the issues. Don’t put false equivalencies first.

No shit, Sherlock. And that’s why you’re helping the fascists with this comparison. You’re working in a two party system, being an idiot about how to actually change shit.

You’re not changing the one party that can be used for change for the better, you’re just whining and making them seek votes elsewhere.

And your own words show exactly what I mean.

There’s a marked difference between lazy fucks who didn’t properly bring it across the finish line and people actively working to make things worse. Correct my believe if I’m wrong: unless it’s a constitutional amendment, laws are fairly easy to overturn still.

And to ‘how many years’… How many years did people have to vote for progressive candidates in the lower levels to change the actual base of the party to where they want it to be? How many years have the voters not used to make it the party they want it to be?

This kinda shit is so fucking often due to progressives wanting things to be a certain way, but not putting in the legwork because “it’s a lost cause anyway”. With the democrats you have a chance to change the party into the progressive direction. Take an example from those maga assholes - it doesn’t take a lot of them to shift the republicans to be even worse.

Criticizing is great, putting it like OP with “they’re the same, democrats just put on a hat” is dishonest and reductionist. This kind of thing actively causes harm and plays into the hands of the party that’s objectively worse for anyone that’s not rich.

I think you misunderstood me?

I’m not saying the article is bad or wrong. I’m taking exception to putting kiddie gloves in headlines.

Think about the people who only read this concisely while browsing headlines. The headline is completely ambiguous and easily reinforces the person’s heels beliefs instead of laying out the important part of where it comes from.

This is before the author and content even comes into play.

Yeah, I did. The author uses political violence as the term throughout. The problem here is not what the author means but that they’re not directly addressing it in clear terms.

You had to guess/ask whether I read the article because the headline makes the source of the political violence ambiguous.

you can bet that an author pointing out a rise on the other side of the political spectrum would not go for muddy terms. This headline seen by a right wing person would just be something they would not click and assume it’s reassuring their fox news world view by a different outlet.

It’s “right-wing terrorism” not political violence as if the whole spectrum is engaged in the same shenanigans.

I’ve been running a Chromecast with Google TV 4k almost since its launch and I’ve been happy with it.

Easy less than the shield would’ve cost me and since it’s only for streaming from jellyfin and YouTube it works great

Incompetent seems pretty spot on since it can’t even burn the trash.

HIPAA covers the spreading of medical information by anyone who’s not the patient themselves.

I don’t think you’re wrong. Yet OP mentioned the 6700xt, which I believe is slower than the 3070…

Kinda why I recommend looking at the gamers nexus articles, because that should give them a good idea of what the current AAA performance of the cards is and would allow some extrapolation based on what they think is relevant to them.

Unless OP goes for flagship GPUs, there’s going to be AAA titles in 2-3 years that won’t run at 60fps 1080p Ultra settings. Especially if they want it to be all big budget games.

What does long term mean to you? Because that is a whole problem of its own.

Generally, bang for buck, the x3d AMD processors are going to provide likely long term high gaming performance. On that end, if you’re really looking long term, you’ll likely want to go with a 7xxx chip and ddr5.

A good SSD, pcie4, should be in there for also your game storage. Don’t grab the cheapest SSD possible. It makes a huge difference. Motherboard, PSU, cooling will follow your other parts.

Graphics cards are going to be really the budget smasher. I’m personally finding my rtx3070 still plenty good, but again, what you consider long term and which AAA games are on your radar vastly influences your options.

take the time to review the recent round ups by gamer’s nexus. Go to their website, as it has the graphs and everything and you don’t have to sit through long videos to grab the info.

I’m not on the US market, so I definitely won’t give it a parts list, but pcpartpicker is apparently pretty good for this from what I heard. Even just to get guidance and then grab stuff somewhere else for possibly cheaper.

You’re the popcorn of the rich.

Not like they didn’t add that 32 core power license limit once big epyc CPUs came out…

I don’t care so much about that, more so about the “everything is a subscription” bullshit. Hope they are least keep the offline variant…

A VPN is only as much of a security improvement as the service behind it. If it gets installed in a shady way, how much trust can you put into the service?
