What exactly is wrong with Klarna (besides the fact it’s a fintech company)? It started popping up as an option recently whenever I buy something online.

gpus were expensive back then

Wait till you hear about the current GPU prices…

Since we are doing hand puns, you’re reaching.

My thoughts, too. The body of the guy might be generated, because no human being would draw side pockets on a t-shirt.

I wasn’t talking about LAN but playing online on public servers. And I wasn’t saying it as a bad thing, just tempering expectations. Iirc, you have to patch the game, then create an account for the GameSpy replacement. There were some stability issues, too, but if you find a decent server it was ok.

But after all of that the main issue was, of course, lack of players.

Warhead was like Crysis 1.5, actually. But I have tried playing the original Crysis online a couple years ago and it’s possible. Not super convenient, but possible.

I wouldn’t say it’s ugly per se, but it’s rather distinctive and we have developed an association with it.

The “slop” part they’re talking about is the logo itself. You can tell it’s made by Sora because of the font, and to an extent the proportions of items being off.

And you can barely even tell this was made with Sora.

I’m hesitant asking my parents for advice because it will be grounded in their… *clears throat* outdated worldview.

Is it weird that I can tell this is a Xiaomi store?

But if they don’t have it, how can it be safe “with them”?

I don’t think users actually write those. You just pick the amount of stars and the term is hardcoded for the amount. It most likely is just a translation mishap.

True, that totally happens to me all the time, too. For example, yesterday it was repeatedly insisting that there’s a certain checkbox in qbittorrent settings, which wasn’t there. I gave it the screenshot of the setting page and it “realized” it’s named differently. So in the end, it helped me with something that I couldn’t google properly. It’s a supplementary tool for me.

Happened to me yesterday. I have an old 4K TV, every component I used to connect to it had HDMI 2.0+ capabilities. Neither laptop nor Steam Deck would output 4K60, only 4K30. Tried getting another cable and a hub, same result. And I know that my Chromecast outputs 4K60 to this TV, so I was extra confused. In my desperation, asked GPT-5 what was I missing, and it plainly told me that those old Samsung TVs turn off HDMI 2.0 support unless you explicitly turn it on in TV settings under “UHD Color”. Apparently Chromecast was doing chroma subsampling, but computers refused and wanted full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth…

…no* los dos?

Maybe they wash: 🤞

I’m pretty sure most regular users will not even notice the charge, and find it useful down the line. Cause one day they will mess something up, complain to MS that they “lost their work”, will be pointed to the cloud where everything was synced, and rejoice. Most users don’t really care about the implications that their documents are in the cloud.

Y U NO USE A MORE APPROPRIATE IMAGE?

But what is even the point of arguing with them? Assuming they are a stranger, of course, and not a person you have a personal relationship with, too. You just make a mental note that the person is ok with something you consider immoral and move on.
