You can appeal to self-sustaing types or prepper logic as well. Way easier to make your own electricity then it is to extract and refine your own oil. EVs will remain operational much longer after societal collapse then gas powered vehicles will.

It's not great.

This is my current best use for it as well. Having a unique portrait for every named NPC helps them stand out quite a bit better and the players respond much more strongly to all of them.

Our production servers are all Linux and we have a fully Linux dev stack. My request for a Linux work machine was denied and we have to work in WSL.

I'm sure there are many foods for which eating select raw ingredients on their own would be unappealing.

Funnily enough I did on a similar post a month ago.

So is oxygen

Disingenuous nonsense. It's basically impossible to encounter a harmful concentration of oxygen in day to day life, while harmful amounts of sunlight are commonplace.

A lack of sunlight also doesn't kill you in less than ten minutes.

Sounds way more interesting than most IT work as well. I'd definitely rather do some investigative work like this than a typical parade of password resets, email assistance, and software installations.

People complain when EA and Ubisoft do it too. As for Valve, what game that's not on Steam requires a Steam login? That's the issue here, being required to use their platform account when not on their platform.

Yes, they were, and that highlights the problem really. Nvidia's grip on mind share is so strong that AMD releasing cards that matched or exceeded at the top end didn't actually matter and you still have people saying things like the comment you responded to.

It's actually incredible how quickly the discourse shifted from ray tracing being a performance hogging gimmick and DLSS being a crutch to them suddenly being important as soon as AMD had cards that could beat Nvidia's raster performance.

A basic pocket calculator, or even graphing calculator, of the sort you'd expect to see in a high-school are not capable of providing the solutions to high-school level math problems. They're beyond being given arithmetic with single numeric answers at that point.

In contexts where you do need numeric answers to a formula, such as in physics, you can absolutely use a calculator and that's fine.
