Tech hobbyists, How are you avoiding the crazy prices for computers and newer tech? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I pivoted to peripherals. My mouse, for example, has exactly 4 original parts left, everything but the shell, PCB, and side button switches are aftermarket. My headset has aftermarket cushions, and EQ profiles for specific genres of games and music. I've started learning about CPU and RAM clocks. Basically, modify/tune what you have, don't buy new stuff.

Working in maintenance, automation to be specific, and I always leave the site with "I hope I never see you again!" to the client.

You can be ignorant on a specific subject, but stupidity is universal.

Well, if they wanted an AI answer they would've asked an AI.

How does Chuck Schumer still have a job? (lemmy.world)
 

DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT FROM USA.

From the outside looking in, it seems like at least half of the inaction of the "left" is because ol' Chucky just hinders everything.

"We wrote a strong letter" was probably the first time I actually, genuinely didn't understand how he's still the leader of the party.

Since then I've done some digging, and it seems like the guy is actually quite delusional. Not even his imaginary friends vote for him, which is kinda sad. Understandable though.

Now he's talking about voting on whether they should block the military action in Venezuela. The ongoing one. The one that's been planned publicly for months.

So, how does he still have his job?

What does "legitimate interest" mean in cookie settings? (lemmy.world)
 

When going through the cookie settings for a website or an app, some of the cookies are marked as "legitimate interest". What exactly does that mean?

Looking for Overwatch alternatives (lemmy.world)
 

TL;DR: Any recommendations for a game like Overwatch that actually functions? XDefiant was promising, but it doesn't have "roles" that don't require shooting, so my friend got frustrated.

As it turns out, it is actually possible to make friends as an adult. Who knew?

She likes MOBAs and such, and I mostly go for shooters so Overwatch was an obvious choice.

The gameplay is fun, and it gives us both something we enjoy, but there are some glaring issues that are best described by just describing my own experience in the game.

First off, the game requires you to win 50 matches in quick play before you're allowed in ranked. With both of us working full-time, having spouses and whatnot, and dealing with 3 random teammates, that took forever.

I finally got to ranked, she already had a rank. The game "predicted" my rank to be basically the same as hers. Even so, all that's available are "wide matches". Average wait time is between 20-30 minutes.

So we started a co-op campaign in Baldur's Gate 3.

We still would like to find a competitive game to play together, so basically a functional Overwatch.

And that brings us here. Any ideas?
