I used to use Ubuntu years ago. The beauty of that distro is that it will fuck itself up. No action required on your part. Versions after 16 would black screen themselves after an upgrade, or the mouse pointer would go on vacation. Even better, it would say your 100% correct password was incorrect and lock you out.
You’re not really any worse off with something like Arch, aside from the initial install. Overall, less headaches for me.
Depending on the project, cloud server uptime is vitally important. Some companies might instead consider Linode, AWS or Google Cloud. Not that I like those last two any better.
😂 They’re going to lose customers. resets Days Without Incident sign to zero
I just wanted a distro built to my specs, up to date, uses pacman, not run by a for-profit company, with good documentation. The hype is mostly Reddit elitism and gatekeeping. I like that nobody has slipped branding and extra bookmarks into my browser.
There was more than one incident. There’s a whole list of incidents.
You could probably run Linux on a binary abacus. https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bbinary_Abacus_002.jpg
In the case of the soldiers in Iraq, China had installed an independent chip specifically for keylogging. I don’t know if replacing the boot loader would even solve that.
They had a Chinese back door in the firmware. Don’t know if that’s still the case. https://www.techworm.net/2015/08/lenovo-pcs-and-laptops-seem-to-have-a-bios-level-backdoor.html They’ve had several major (intentional) security flaws over the years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenovo They had a modified UEFI that allows insecure execution of EXEs. The Lenovo laptops given to US military in Iraq had keyloggers that sent all inputs back to China.
Programmers I’ve worked with all prefer MacBooks. And yes, you can run Linux on a Mac too.
Time to pick up a used PS3 if you can. They might eventually figure out how to emulate it well.
Maybe. Although with that remake of Silent Hill 2, Konami turned the wife into a fat chipmunk. And MGS4 has supermodel women. Soooo…
There is a PS3 emulator. I don’t know how reliable it is right now.
They would probably have to remake it because the PS3 has a unique processor and the game engine won’t run on anything else.
True. Still have mine for MGS4.
Same deal with the PS3. Metal Gear Solid 4 was a masterpiece.
I remember PS2 launch. It felt like I had it for a couple years before games worth buying started coming out. My friend had Ridge Racer V, which he played for about a week before never touching it again. I remember we went back to playing PS1 games with PS2’s texture smoothing for a while. Often we just used it to play rented DVDs. Of course, later on it had some of the best games ever made.
Cities: Skyline was pretty good.
There goes the one EA game I was willing to pay for. I guess some indie studio will end up making something better. Like what happened to the SimCity franchise.
