I'm not petty enough to give up on their free games. I just claim them in the browser to avoid dealing with their launcher.

But it's important to note that, if their UX is so terrible that people avoid their launcher like the plague, they get fewer chances to tempt users into buying anything. If the sales are low, most developers won't even bother listing their games on EGS. It's a death spiral.

I find EGS launcher to be incredibly slow, so I don't even bother claiming their free games using it. I use the browser instead. The annoying part is EGS launcher will prompt my 2FA if I don't open it at least monthly, which is also too much of a bother.

My guess is that they believe leaving the Hamas alive is equivalent to allowing their territory be attacked again in the future. They want this war to be The Last One™ so thay don't have to further spend military resourses in the future doing the same thing again.

The article doesn't even show an example of a finished Frankenstein laptop. 😑

Sorry, English is not my first language. What I meant is that some may see him as wacky and irreverent.

What I see is Elon haters clinging to this salute as if it's the one silver bullet that will somehow make him lose Trump's or the Republicans' support. But their insistence on this is like preaching to the choir, as right-wingers simply don't care—some even like Elon more for being gutsy.

If that's all they've got on Elon, then he's sure to keep his job at DOGE. And Trump is laughing all the way to the bank, as the anti-Elon sentiment shields him from criticism, as social media's attention is mostly spent on Elon instead of Trump.
