I feel like the issue addressed here also exists in other games with multiplayer as well. It's hard, if not nigh impossible to break the mould on an established structure - there just isn't any room to fit in, and any deviation will cause some ire. However, I feel a good community should also be willing to counteract this problem, ideally by doing a fresh start, and shake things up. It's also a great way to shake things up by picking roles one usually doesn't pick, or do unconventional builds - anything to make this adventure actually refreshing. That way you allow the newcomer to find a place, even if it's just for a one shot play.

How does posteo compare to mailbox.org?

I know that this is most likely bait, but it's fun to address this topic.

The problem is the base of the arguments. Often flat earth theories disregard theories we see as proven, based on empirical evidence, and form their own theories, which have flaws that people "globers" see as authorities in the field (e.g. scientists, scholars) can point out in a reasonable manner. However, these flaws are often disregarded due to paranoia, claiming these people are also part of the conspiracy, or are brainwashed by it.

This leads to a disjointed thinking process. One side cannot think like the other due to different bases in logic, so any classic arguments are fruitless to convince the other. Hostility ensues due to frustration.

It's similar to people who suffer from psychosis. There is no point in arguing traditionally, and the only way to help them is through processes like the LEAP method, in order to help them connect to a more grounded reality, if that is even possible.

Alternatively also VOLT, perhaps? It doesn't hurt to fight for a more unified EU.

For the problems you encountered: the refresh rate can be set in the monitor settings. If you can't go any higher, then there might be a problem with your graphics drivers. It is also important to add that Pop!OS is based on Ubuntu, which can take ages to implement modern changes. For Gaming I would generally recommend a rolling release distro, maybe it be OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Fedora, etc... Otherwise you might not get the cutting edge tech that you need.

As for Tetr.io: it seems to be a problem with Vulcan, namely that improperly configured drivers will use the iGPU by default. How do you install/run that game?

So, I've tried it with my T14 Gen1 (which, as I just found out is already 6 years old... Yeowza), and honestly... It's pretty hard to get the keyboard out of that one already.

It's nothing like I remember with older models, where you can take off the keyboard out by itself and slot a new one in, but now you need to pry off the mouse buttons of the trackpad, loosen screws under it and pry the keyboard forward to be able to get it out. The mouse buttons are also attached to it, which makes even more anxiety-inducing to get it out.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they removed the function overall in the most recent models, seeing as how it is with this model already.

My old work place used to buy refurbushed ThinkPads, and they slid rather easily by sliding a switch. I have one of the more recent models (also refurbished) at home as well, I'll try to see if it's still the same.

Huh, TIL. I guess the image is just clickbait then.

The only thing that comes to mind is that undersea cables are often under attack by sharks.

I think the reason is just the history behind FPSs, where companies used that genre to show off the engine's capabilities. Although I feel that trend has ended quite a bit ago, especially considering how Ultrakill became such a huge success and using the low poly aspect to their advantage, as it allows a much more hectic gameplay without much performance loss during the gameplay.

I have to disagree with that. Most positions in factory jobs exist because human labour is very cheap, especially in terms of flexibility. I doubt there are many positions where a robot with a less humanoid shape wouldn't do a better job than a human or a humanoid robot. It's just often cheaper to employ these workers because you pay them a salary, either on a hourly basis or on a monthly one, yet don't have to worry about maintenance. With robots you have less hourly costs, but a much bigger overhead, as you now have to hire qualified technicians to perform regular maintenance on those machines, and also semi-regularly order replacement parts. These costs will rise alongside the complexity of these robots. And humanoid robots are much, much more complex than industrial robots, especially as they need to incorporate a lot more sensors that most industrial robots just won't need. Sensors that might be very sensitive or require regular calibrations to ensure they work properly. That doesn't come cheap.

Even when we look over the costs, humans will always be more versatile than robots. Give a person a book on how to do a job and they will perform it with the help of the books, and develop their working style to even work more efficiently. In contrast, robots would need a much more thorough training in order to work properly. This could be done traditionally by hardcoding the logic, or by using neural networks, which would be more intuitive, but are prone to create undesired results if one doesn't have a good eye for the involved factors. And this process would need to be repeated for each job, and again if jobs would be fused together. And of course one would have to adhere for hardware limitations. A processor can only work so fast, and there are limitations on storage space, data transfer speed and reliability that also come to play when it comes to saving the training data.

Then what niche will they fulfill? What work requires a humanoid form?
