I dont get the hate for the lcd at all. I never have my brightness maxed out. I guess if youre like obsessed with HDR or something, but otherwise im perfectly happy with the lower price of the lcs, especially since i got it on sale when the OLED first released.
Theft is when you use your own labor to foster the natural resources that grow on this planet and don’t give the pwner class their cut.
Do you know of any good comprehensive followup to this? A quick search shows me lots of outdated info and inconclusive articles. Do you know if they conclusively found anything or if there is a good writeup on the whole situation?
I think maybe you’re misunderstanding the whole ancient greek thing. You keep saying that since they had only one word for blue and green that they ‘saw them the same’, but that doesnt at all mean that their brains processed the input of blue and green colors identically. I mean just look at how we define colours. What exact shade is red? Theres hundreds or thousands of different colours that would all fit into most people’s definition of ‘red’ and that likely differs from person to person. Just because the greeks referred to different shades of blue and green with the same overarching word, doesnt mean they couldnt distinguish the difference at all. Calling multiple shades of a color a single namr doesn’t prevent us from seeing the differences between those shades which seems to be what you’re inferring.
I have a feeling OP’s “friends” wont necessarily even be aware hes connected the device to their network. It sounds to me like he wants something he can hide places to take advantage of unsecured or public networks without having to sit there with his laptop doing whatever shady shit he has planned.
Yeah that’s fair, and im not defending the practice, it just made me think of some games that Ive seen that have multiple executables, usually with an inbuilt launcher that i have to bypass. Or when games used to come with a dx11 and dx12 executable. Personally i find that in itself super sloppy and annoying as well, but it makes a kind of lazy sense to just apply it to all the game files, in that its just one less thing to have to change if you make an alteration to the name of the executable file or add a new executable for whatever reason. Just one less possible failure point. But yeah I can see how its definitely not best practice.
I mean i assume thats just easier to deal with updates where a game has multiple exe files that may or may not change names. Assuming everything in the directory is assumed to be safe, is there any downside to applying it to everything, aside from opening up the possibility of a user accidentally trying to execute like a texture file or something which I assume just wouldnt work? I actually don’t know and im curious.
How would a game “not work” on GOG? isnt their whole thing that they give you just the game files with no DRM or whatever?

Although considered informal, anyways is not wrong. In fact, there is much precedent in English for the adverbial -s suffix, which was common in Old and Middle English and survives today in words such as towards, once, always, and unawares. But while these words survive from a period of English in which the adverbial -s was common, anyways is a modern construction (though it is now several centuries old).
