Never has there been a company that I wanted to love so badly, but hate. I even proxy my pauper commander decks these days. In the magic world, so many bad decisions. 30 year anniversary cost $1k for non-legal cards. Power creep and complexity creep are frustrating. Huge inflation. Bad story. Bad quality cards. It could all be so much better, but they focus only on short term profit instead of the player experience

Treasure hunting story driven action game with dinosaurs, zombies, and aliens

Try a used laptop. Cheap, power efficient, built in UPS, small. Can be quite powerful and some are even upgradable

You could pick up a used laptop for pretty cheap. Low TDP, leagues ahead of a Pi

Pretty big fan of manjaro

I got this one today on my work laptop - pretty surprising to me Microsoft pulls shenanigans like this without enormous backlash

AMD GPUs have open source linux drivers meaning no extra configuration is needed on install. Some linux distros make setting up Nvidia really easy, but I ran into problems years ago. I think Nvidia is theoretically releasing open source drivers soon though

Twice after a windows update I lost my bootloader menu and my laptop would boot straight into Windows. After the second time I just removed Windows. Some investigation revealed that “Windows does not support dual booting” which I believe translates to “we will ocationally cause issues that a beginner would struggle to fix in the hopes of them staying on Windows.” Just a theory. Separate drives for sure if you can. No idea if they still do this as it’s been years since I dual booted

I mean, I agree, but the problem isn’t just that I see this at work. I shouldn’t have to see it on a paid operating system. This is a normal user experience on Windows. Ads everywhere is annoying. I understand people can be proactive to disable this stuff, but I think it’s crumby of Microsoft to do

It’s a work laptop We’re a small company - I still feel like calling our IT terrible instead of Microsoft is misguided though

It was literally a notification; made a sound and everything. Didn’t go out of my way to see it. I’m not used to ads in my operating system so it was jarring. Surprised people accept it as normal

Lol I had to install AutoHotKey just to be able to do some basic keymapping on Windows. “Can be made good” is so different than “is good”

But yes our IT team is just one dude with a degree in biology
