Damnit.

I wonder if thats because the transcoding hardware ismcrap or they just aren’t concentrating on that in the software.

Transcodes worked vastly better with QuickSync last time I bought a machine.

Does the AMD transcoded work as well these days?

What are you talking about?

These are his businesses in South Africa that he closed when he was 18 and moved to Canada before Apartheid ended?

“We don’t want our founder being deported,” said Derek Proudian, the Zip2 board member, who later became chief executive.

Literally the people working with him were afraid of his lack of visa and worked to get him one.

In a 2005 email obtained by The Post, Musk wrote that he had applied to a Stanford University graduate program, which he did not end up attending, so he could stay in the country.

He claims that he had a J-1, but unfortunately

“There are work options during studies, while engaged in a full course of study, and also after the completion of studies,” said Adam Cohen, author of “The Academic Immigration Handbook” and an attorney who specializes in employment visas. “But dropping out of school does not allow for work authorization. So there is a quite a gap there.”

He spent his time trying to get loopholes to remain, and used them incorrectly. He was an illegal.

What? Musk moved to Canada in 1989 when he was 18 to avoid national service.

Apartheid didn’t end until a couple of year after that.

He’s a massive bellend, and a huge leech on society with all of his government subsidised businesses, but thats not the same as making up reasons for his move.

Although its still too damn high, only 50% of British people believe the monarchy thats been forced on us is important.

They are losing the popularity contest here too.

Title is clickbate.

Ironically enough it creates Sharepoints for each of your groups.

You mean Lync?

They unfortunately forgot the second step and went straight the extinguish.

Ban small bottles of water that claim magical fixes?

Because Spotify is absolutely shit at suggesting new things.

Even if I pick a particular theme there are many artists it won’t include until I manually select them and then magically they appear in the themed list.

The human touch just means being able to suggest similar things based upon experience that is outside your bubble. Spotify makes a personalised experience based upon your bubble, so it can never truely pop.

I almost didn’t make it through the intro for RDR2, 20 mins of trudging through snow.

IDGAF.

This is wild if true.

I loved RDR, and played the fuck out of that. RDR2 spend so much time trying to distract me from actually playing that I got bored.

I was down voted a lot for preferring the original. Thats neat that others found the first better.

That’s half my sentence, dont add a full stop where there wasn’t one in quotes. It makes you a liar.

No one is competing on PC because

And then I list reasons why i don’t see the alternatives as credible competition.

I could basically buy anything that I get on Steam, on either Epic or GOG. Their market share is not why I buy games on Steam, I gave you those reasons already.

I do not run Windows because its a shitty hostile environment that contractually prevents distributors from providing an optimised interface for gaming. It inserts adverts into every section, and even Windows users unironically complain that Windows Update is malware.

Thats not what was said at all.

No competition is not good. But Epic is worse competition, and GOG is halfhearted competition that is an ultimately worse experience for most people.

You said

more efficient competitors

But now you are saying that they didn’t challenge the monopoly? If they dont even challenge then how are they competition?

Steam let’s me buy games and play them. The interface with Big Picture Mode let’s me interact with the store.

The issue I see is that no one is competing on PC with Steam because they keep trying to tie themselves with the fucking trainwreck that’s Windows.

They keep trying to tie themselves with shitty desktop launchers.

They keep trying to tie themselves with toxic customer service.

There is competition, but it’s with Sony, Microsoft and their consoles.
