They’re not good guys, they’re just behind.

You got that right, but at least they aren’t as hostile to the industry as NVIDIA while they are behind.

If you don’t mind throwing money at diminishing returns while financially supporting anti-consumer and anti-board partner behavior, there’s not much else to say.

So glad I ditched Windows last year. I tried dual booting for a bit, but the number of things that broke in Windows was ridiculous.

It’s wild how much the reliability of Windows and Linux has flipped.

AMD or Intel.

This was after the classic green. Steam has basically gone through 3 major redesigns. They usually were part of some bigger product launch.

• Classic green
• Dark gray (coincided with Orange box and launch on Mac OS X)
• “Big Picture” blue (coincided with the launch of SteamOS, Steam Link, Steam Controller, and the failed Steam Machines)
• Basically KDE plasma (coincided with the launch of the Steam Deck)

This is from memory, so I could be off on some of this.

The sad reality is that the quality of modern BluRay releases has significantly declined. Sure the picture looks great, but they barely come with special features anymore. Also, the QA is atrocious. I buy a lot of UHD BluRays and ~30% of them come corrupted/damaged out of the box.

I really want physical media to become popular again so companies start actually putting in effort.

EDIT: I still love physical media. It’s pretty much the only way to own a copy of media anymore. I just wish it was as beloved as the DVD days.

It sucks to see they were suffering from success. That kind of pressure can destroy your creative energy.

I wish them both the best and I hope they go on to fulfilling projects.

This is neat! Bookmarking this. Not sure what you’re using on the backend, but are you open to contributions for more detailed descriptions?

I was mostly making a joke, but I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion. Most of the internet is reactions to things.

The only thing more common than Star Wars fans complaining about Star Wars is Star Wars fans complaining that Star Wars fans complain too much about Star Wars.

Okay, fair enough.

You’re correct, but this is pretty much “Statistics 101”. Granted most people are really bad at interpreting statistics, but I recommend looking at Backblaze reports because nothing else really comes close.

Sure, YMMV for any statistical study but it’s also the best source that exists for stats on consumer Hard Drives tested at scale.

1. Seagate drives are generally way more reliable now than the pre-TB days.
2. There is always a risk of premature failure with all hard drives (see the bathtub curve). You should never have only one copy of any data you aren’t okay with losing.

FYI: Backblaze is a cloud storage provider that uses HDDs at scale, and they publish their statistics every year regarding which models have the highest and lowest failure rates.
