What drivers issues, don't consoles require just as many updates? I distinctly remember console update taking upwards of a half an hour to install like 300Mb. Refusing to update would log you out and disable digitally purchased games. It often killed the mood when I just wanted to play some games after work, the steam deck filled that spot nicely.

Besides I use Linux so my drivers are built in and updates are unintrusive and take no time to apply. I have it set to remind me once a month, I get a little icon in the taskbar and I apply them before shutting down. It takes like two minutes.

I'm not judging if you like console but modern consoles are just as annoying as any other internet appliances. They need updates, they need regular Internet access to work, they can't really do anything else, when it shits the bed your expected to throw it away get a new one, and often have tack on a monthly fee for basic features.

I need a computer so instead of splitting the cost between a computer that won't be too slow to do any real work and a $500 game console I just get a more powerful computer and justify the cost with the money I'm saving.

I mean console games are always more expensive. There's always something amusing about getting about 20 good games for five bucks on PC. Also epic games is still trying to bribe us with free games.

Nah, it's just reacting to all the bullshit companies do. I really wish the things he covers just didn't exist sometimes. I thought it was funny how relatable this moment is when watching Louis.

It must get humid in those igloos tho. Do people who live in igloos have fires inside?

My mother and aunt picked up on it just fine, they're actually enjoying it more because there aren't full screen ads that confuse them and it made their computers faster.

I think at this point in time it JIT compiles into byte code and cached which is more efficiently interpreted the next time that function is called.

Yeah, whatever is reasonable and within the terms of your lease is usually the best bet.

The worst part is they are so up their own ass nothing you say does anything. Maybe because I'm young but I don't know why I try to explain the reason I'd help someone with their issue.

Honestly if someone irons out the edge cases, python probably could JIT compile to machine code via cython. It would take a fair bit of memory and probably a bit slow on low powered systems but it would be so much faster if cached.

You delete each set of letter from least significant to most significant with $ replacing each letter and the title tag saying where's my money. If all letters disappear swap the entire website with space jam website and this gif.
