  • * Even if you assembled it yourself you would be missing features, such as cec, wake by controller, sleep mid game, etc.

    I’ve been actively mass downvoted on Reddit for being excited for these features. People are really fucking stupid sometimes.

    I have a significantly more powerful PC (in a tower case) currently hooked up to my tv surviving the same purpose and I will likely be getting the Steam Machine entirely for these features.

    “But just use a dongle” they say. And I do. It works about half the time and I have to do this weird dance involving pulling up Kodi

    I had used 95, 98, and 2000 at that point. All of which I mostly enjoyed. Me I used in my grandmothers computer and yeah…it was rubbish.

    However I’d say it was less of a “Big leap” and more of a “Quick give us something that’s almost as good as 9x!”

    Because Windows XP was a hot pile of garbage.

    One day, my network driver broke. None of the discs worked. None of those incoherent “wizards” Windows loves to use worked. Reinstalling Windows broke more things. I couldn’t get online for about 2 months.

    One day I was at the bookstore and saw a Fedora Core book with an OS disc. I thought it was cool so I convinced mom to get it. Went home, blundered my way through the install and everything just worked.

    I cannot for the life of me understand how XP is routinely loved by everyone. It looked like a muddy fisher-price toybox.



  • Well I’m glad you would go into the depth of researching the economic viability of something when you think “I’d like to have this amenity”.

    But I don’t. Because why the fuck would I?

    If someone wants to go through the work of researching the costs of setting up such a service, layout the costs, and make some proposals and how much they’d need to charge to the community I’d happily contribute.

    Until then…dude you took an offhand “Hey I’d like to see something like this” and turned it into some weird obsession with making me name how much i’d spend on something.









  • EarlGreytomemes@lemmy.worldCan a Brit confirm this?

    British Food is awesome. It’s not very colorful or ultra complex but it’s the kinda food that warms the soul.

    • A good Sunday Roast with yorkshire pudding, lamb, roasted potatoes, peas, and gravy
    • Fish and Chips served with a good curry or mushy peas
    • Fresh warm scones with clotted cream and jam
    • A proper fry up with a cup of tea
    • Beef Wellington
    • Pie Mash
    • Meat pies
    • Bridies
    • Scotch Eggs
    • Minemeat Pies
    • Spotted Dick (Yeah yeah)
    • Treacle Tart
    • Banoffee Pie

    There are few things that bring me more joy than popping into a Greggs on a cold rainy morning for an overheated cup of generic tea and a sausage roll.
