Is it truly a bad strategy? Or is there much less direct action than what's needed?

[–] ganryuu@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

You couldn't, because there's no actual study on this, because it does not work. It's also why you won't. Troll being a troll, block and move on.

Cat nail caps are not a perfect answer to this problem, but still an infinitely better one than amputation (please don't use the term declawing as it's extremely misleading).

There's also ways to encourage your cat to use scratch pads and the like instead of your furniture (cats hate citrus for example, so a bit of that where they want to scratch and they'll find a new spot immediately).

The simple fact that we still call it "declawing" is so infuriating... I've had to tell a lot of people around me that it actually is an amputation.

Way I see it is it just stops being a live service game, and stays at the latest version, which is the one you can then host.

It could be that you're unfortunately not in the list I guess. Also I don't even remember if they actually advertise it when it's applied.

GOG does have regional prices though? Or am I mistaken? I believe it's not for every single currency, but unless I'm completely wrong it's there.

Nice. Did not answer anything, did not point out where I'm simping, or being a fanboy. I'm not pro Nvidia, nor AMD, nor anything (rather than that I'm pretty anticonsumerism actually, not that you care).

You're being extremely transparent in your bad faith.

Please read my entire comment, I also said your experience as one person is statistically insignificant. As in, you cannot rely on 1 bad experience considering the volume of GPUs sold. Anybody can be unlucky with a purchase and get a defective product, no matter how good the manufacturer is.

Also, please point out where I did any fanboyism. I did not take any side in my comments. Bad faith arguments are so weird.

I don't know, real world data maybe? Your one, or 2, or even 10 experiences are very insignificant statistically speaking. And of course it's not a rare story, people who talk online about a product are most usually people with a bad experience, complaining about it, it kinda introduces a bias that you have to ignore. So you go for things like failure rates, which you can find online.

By the way, it's almost never actually a fault from AMD or Nvidia, but the actual manufacturer of the card.

Edit: Not that I care about Internet points, but downvoting without a rebuttal is... Not very convincing

That kind of comment always feels a bit weird to me; are you basing AMD's worth as a GPU manufacturer on that one bad experience? It could just as well have been the same on an Nvidia chip, would you be pro-AMD in that case?

On the Intel part, I'm not up to date but historically Intel has been very good about developing drivers for Linux, and most of the time they are actually included in the kernel (hence no download necessary).

From what I can find, even though a lot of FreeSync monitors support at least partially G-Sync, the opposite seems rather rare, since G-Sync is fully proprietary and hardware-based. I've found a couple more modern monitors that officially support both but they seem to be the exception rather than the norm.
