Something to think about. GeForce Now isn’t about making it so you can play video games no matter your own hardware. It’s a test bed to show that cloud based hardware rental is a viable and achievable goal for the likes of Micro$oft etc. it’s a proof of concept for those companies to “show” that people would be “happier” renting their hardware than buying personal computers.

Long term goal is to price the average user out of the computer market and have them just buy a dumb terminal to do their computing on. This will also have average income gamers not able to buy a PC and instead be forced to rent one. This was M$ goal about 20 yrs ago, but internet speeds weren’t good enough for the ~30% if the population of the world they care about. These days we are getting much closer to that being a high enough % of people with good enough internet to start pricing people out of their luxury gaming PCs. And eventually grandma is going to be buying a preset Chromeb00k style laptop to connect to a subscription based service so she can check her email.

Been drinking tonight, but this idea has been sticking with me for more than a year, punctuated by the recent Micron public statement.

Just setup a second page in heimdall with Tailscale friendly links. Duplicate what you already have setup and then update links.

Interesting point of view. I’ll think on it.

After some reading, I realize my mistake. It’s not segregation, it’s self-segregation, as per: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-segregation

Agreed that it is not the legal definition of segregation. It is segregation by choice in my own opinion. Because we refuse to move forwards as a world.

Yay! Segregation again!!! /s I guess we go backwards because people are incapable of moving forwards.

You may want to try and put some prompts yourself into chatGPT to see the results without making an uninformed comment based on what you perceive chatGPT will do/answer.

The difference between Tianamen and things that have happened, like the gulf war etc. is that we are allowed to discuss disparate views without being thrown in jail. And tools/toys like chatGPT are allowed to try to write an opinion on them.

Agreed, but not a “charge overnight for years” but no degradation at all.

Impossible for battery health to be at 100% after years. May still be working great, but not 100%.

A lot of computers people buy from box stores are preloaded and configured to use chrome as the default for many years. Newer prebuilt a May no longer do that, but I doubt it.

And that’s fair, but in this game is just getting a black screen. So there is nothing to worry about. It’s not the Witcher series of games so you don’t need to even worry about anything.

It may be partly connected with the fact that an R rated movie can have sex in it, but video game sex has been mostly a taboo subject (GTA as an early example), even for an R rated game. So it may be an example of the movement towards sex being included in games as it is in movies. Agreed about the immersion, but depends on how you “play” your character. Depending on the game, you can avoid the interactions you don’t feel fit with your character, but not every game.

Thanks, I’m not sure how I missed their about page. I appreciate the links.

Is there any extra info about the solid option? I went to their site and thinking to see about running a server on my home brew server to try it out. But, searching for “solid” doesn’t provide much relevant results. I’m wondering questions like, Do your files/information become basically a cloud storage drive? Is there a reason to use the solid server instead of just a NAS/home brew server with wan access?
