But, when its an indefinite source of 100k for essentially life that it covers the monthly cost of mortgage which ends up steadier than the unpredictability of rent I think that is super rich in my eyes.

Because the big thing is the continued 100k isn't unpredictable like the uncertainty of the job market, which can get worse as people get older with companies looking to lay them off for the next generation who will take less and new skills.

So it might not seem the stereotypical super rich of private jets and mansion, but once you look at the stability of the money source it is deceptively super rich. Like the millionaire next door type rich, and the type of rich that would take the average person decades and decades of saving and investments turning out well to attain and be super old by then.

I lucked out deciding to get another 16 gigs of ddr4 ram to make it 32 gigs few years ago. And upgraded my am4 board to the x3d chip. AM4 been the best mobo experience I had because of the continued release of CPU generations for it compared to previous mobos.

I think Epic was very arrogant in their approach assuming consumers have no self control over buying things, so assumed they'd get them no matter what if they made things exclusive to their store. That pissed off vocal people would still not be able to resist not buying games.

Which actually is not a bad bet to make, but turned out to surprisingly not work as well as they hoped it would. And led to lingering animosity towards them that is still around years later.

And they still seem lost when it comes to trying to figure out how to win consumers over. It's like they got advice from Randy Pitchford from 2K telling them the way to win consumers over is to berate them and attack the competition.

Safari has the worst adblock options of the browsers I've tried. So absolute bottom choice from me.

Brave is brought up as an alternative to Firefox but that has the same AI and also crypto on top of it.

If brave is able to have their own adblock integrated into the browser by default despite Google being behind much of Chrome I think Firefox forks should be fine. Sucks everything seems to have AI these days shoved in, so it's hard to escape whether it is Chrome forks or chromium alternatives.

I have one m.2 and multiple sata ssd, since on my motherboard occupying the second m.2 slot would drop the pcie lane for my GPU due to sharing bandwidth.

Do newer boards not have that problem?

It is so bizzare to me why the rest of the world has been so comfortable with meta services and been using their social media for years when they've come across as a company to not trust with that information

But, I'm probably the weird one looking like im putting tinfoil on my windows and head to the average person.

Even when well meaning sometimes malicious code can slip through like with smarttubenext due to a compromised machine.

So I think people forget that just because something is foss doesn't mean it is automatically safe and caution can be thrown to the wind. Skepticism and being overcautious is still good practice before installing things.

I like to wait a while before installing new updates just to see if anything is caught by the community to try to reduce potential risk.

First half was fantastic, but then once the vampire stuff went into full gear it ended up losing much of the initial tone that hooked me in the first half.

You wouldn't know them. They go to a different school.

Dualboot might work better with ltsc iot version of windows, which even if you only use Windows you should be opting for anyways over the copilot and account requirement forcing consumer version of Windows that pushes out unstable new features people don't want to try to boost their stock by showing increased use of AI.

Work is one area I wouldn't care what OS is used. Since I don't consider anything there to be private and its not my hardware at the end of the day.
