Or Windows just works on so much different hardware. You can build a PC with the weirdest mix and match of hardware, and Windows will just.. work. Also I bought a Microsoft sidewinder wheel from 1998 from a thrift store for $8, plugged it into my Windows 10 PC, and it just worked. Nothing special was needed. 1998 hardware literally plug and play on Windows 10 (and I've tested it on 11, and it works the same).

You can install MacOS on non-Apple hardware, but you need to buy very specific hardware, and download very specific hacks, to make it work.

Even Linux only works on specific hardware. This entire thread has people talking about how broken Linux is on their setups. The suggestions are to buy specific hardware and run very specific versions of Linux.

Can't wait for Linux to be mainstream in 2085!

The CEO of the company behind Ark has to be smoking crack. Nothing they do makes sense.

Don't forget they paid who knows how much to get Vin Diesel in Ark 2. Like that's exactly what we all wanted. Very good use of money.

I want to keep it, otherwise all of my everyday devices become paperweights. Thanks.

If you're not implying that, then your reply was pointless.

Ok, well I'm not going to stop using my fitness band or Android auto because I'm a paranoid person. Might as well never leave your home and never use any devices connected to the internet.

[–] Polar@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (13 children)

I almost always use it. For my smart band, PC notifications, wireless Android auto..

Ya. I live in Canada, and I've never felt the need to own a gun. We have a TON of hunting guns here, but I think the fact we don't allow open carry, changes the thought process of gun owners here, and we don't see them as weapons to point at other people. They are more so seen as a tool for a hobby, like a fishing rod is used for fishing.

And honestly, if you avoid Toronto, violence in general is really low. Toronto is just.. special.

There was a study published from data from the last like.. 10 years, I believe, that show that people with guns are more likely to run away, and people WITHOUT guns, are more likely to jump in and try to stop the shooter.

So ya. These good guys with guns are just pussies that never actually use them for good.

Just cost me 1K to replace 3 NICs, 1 router, and 2 switches to freaking 2.5Gb.
