I was on an Intel 7700k. With Windows 10 coming to an end this year my choices were:

A) switch to gaming on Linux B) build a new pc

Given its age I picked b), getting it in January this year. 9800x3d, 32GB ram. It's been 11 months and no regrets.

(I could have gone c) and built a new computer AND switched to Linux, but I often play non steam games and didn't want to deal with WINE myself)

In your opinion what game deserved the best rpg of 2025?

Basically the writing is separate from sounds.

And that's how people who speak mutually unintelligible dialects of Chinese can communicate through writing. The word (sound) may be different, but the written character is the same.

What's the issue with the push button on the toilet? Most toilets in my country are just a button to push on top?

Don't liquor licences in your country require serving water?

In (all?) of Australia to have a liquor licence requires you also serve free water. That can be tap water, but it has to be available as easily as the alcohol. Typically from a bartender, waiter etc depending on the establishment providing it for you.

FYI there are alternative matrix servers to Synapse. I'm playing around with Tuwunel, it's a single binary and you're done.

It uses rocksdb so you just give it a directory and it puts everything there,. ie no need to spin up a db. And there is a config option to disable federation if that's something you don't want.

Could it scale to thousands of concurrent users? Probably not but it seems to be the simplest chat app to self host I've found.

I more surprised by how slow the start menu is. It's absolutely incredible. Windows 7 start bar was faster on my core 2 duo with spinning hdd both to open and search than windows 11 on my 9800X3D with nvme ssd.

Also called payid. Instant payment, every single bank supports it, can register your phone number, email address, business number to your account so anyone with one of the Jose details can pay you. Tiny catch is you have to be in Australia

In addition, too many people don't even care enough to use the correct bin. Every bin day my neighbours bins are overflowing with no recyclables in their recycling bin. I wouldn't be surprised if the bins were meaningless and it all went in a hole in the ground
