Absolutely. Nothing wrong with np++ for sure. But it does feel like something someone had to make just to make up for the shortcomings of built-in options in Windows.

So are we committing fraud if we turn on Spotify and leave it playing in an empty, sound-proof room??

That contractual agreement has nothing to do with the user or artist, its between advertisers and the platform. That can't be what they got this guy for.

Speed of ram typically isn't a problem, but ram configuration absolutely can cause a bottleneck (that usually looks like a CPU bottleneck). The amount of companies selling a "gaming PC" with one god damned stick of ram drives me crazy. Single channel ram? In 2024 my dude?

Does this exist for other colors? Would be interested to see the entire spectrum done like this.

Exactly. The average Joe sees he can't just download hacks and suddenly be good, assumes the anti-cheat works, and then when they still get owned complains about something else instead of cheaters and is happily giving shady game publishers the highest level access to their computer like its nothing.

Anti-cheat doesn't actually need to eliminate cheating, it just needs to make the masses think it works by slightly raising the bar for entry into cheating. Cheating is still rampant, players just feel better about it and complain about smurfs more because they dont think its possible to get around kernal level anti-cheats.

Honestly I'd be much happier if the industry moved away form terrible anti-cheat software in general.

Its very unlikely you would brick the computer in the sense of not being repairable. Most likely mistake would be accidentally wiping everything that's on the laptop currently. As always, backup your important files to an external device first just in case.

For now... But they like to just turn shit on willy nilly... They've done it with onedrive before (and promptly deleted the local copies of files). Even when they don't force it on during an update, they have a ton of ridiculous pop-ups telling you that you should turn it on and people click them by accident. I know I don't trust them to keep it turned off.

I feel like the text editors we get by default do all the things I ever wanted notepad++ for anyway.

Same. Parts designed in freecad take me about 10 times longer and have about 1/4 of the "polish" and nice finishing touches compared to the ones I've done in fusion.

Yea but I think part of the point is the corporate politics are not required to do the job, they are required to work at that company.

Also what the op finds simple may not be to average people, but if they have specialized skills and training, it becomes a 'simple' task.

3d printing and even designing my own basic parts/items. Seems daunting as all hell to get right but honestly it wasn't that bad to figure out. Fusion360 was a dream to learn. I've been trying to make the switch to freecad and struggling though. :(
