I don't like this, and I don't use Office 365 for this exact reason. Software as a service makes no sense at all for individuals. For corporations, sure. RENTING shit is generally a fucking waste of money. At the end of the day, you have nothing.
For values of "performance" that don't mean "the absolute best" perhaps.
For AAA gaming, I don't give a shit if there's ANY open source support. I stopped dicking around with trying to get the games I want to play working on Linux YEARS ago.
I'm not going to eat carob instead of chocolate just to make a point that manufacturers and publishers won't even notice is being made.
Have you MET the internet? Trying to squelch that kind of info is the fastest way to ensure that it lives FOREVER, attached to a reference to Moss-Magnuson to ensure even higher warranty expense in the future.
Taxis are artificially expensive, and generally as slow as they want to be. Particularly when legislation has driven competition out and they have no reason to be timely or reasonably priced.
Myself, I don't trust taxis, because the last time I did, I waited an hour for one at 2 AM, and when the one assigned to me showed up on tracking in the parking lot, it passed me by to pick up a bigger fare. The app then said that I had been picked up. When I tried to get another cab, the dispatcher called me, cursed me out, said it wasn't my cab and to keep waiting. After a SECOND hour of waiting, I had no alternative but to walk 2.5 miles home at 4 AM in shoes not suitable for walking in. I am now permanently disabled due to this walk aggravating a tissue disorder in my foot where the connective tissue holding my bones in place was not formed right. I wish I had documented this and sued the fuck out of the taxi company, but it was another 18 months before I really understood the extent or nature of my injury (I didn't know about the tissue disorder).
I've never waited more than 7 minutes for an uber or lyft, and that's only if they got delayed by a train or drawbridge.
Well there's little chance that display drivers under linux will provide the needed performance, and most of the games that people actually you know... GIVE A SHIT about don't work in linux, so there's that.
But hey, keep campaigning for TuxVR. I'm sure that'll be fun.
This isn't a case of people not being able to play single player games. Not even a case of people not being able to play something that could be reasonably hosted by individuals, such as Quake ][.
Multiplayer games do have a huge audience for which much of the appeal lies in the service having huge numbers of other players. I don't play any of them anymore, but I can see how this could be a problem for a large number of people.
I've been waiting that long to hear that someone has finally killed his worthless ass. Guess I have another month or two to wait. Sooner or later that piece of shit will piss off the wrong guy in the slammer and catch a shiv in the gut. I can't wait to read that news story.
Precisely, and even with a total ban, the guy would have found a way to either get his hands on an illegal gun, or he'd have done something else to murder all those, or perhaps even MORE people.
I mean we could try a complete ban on RELIGION, which I think would be of greater benefit to mankind, but that would be as unlikely to be obeyed.
The small city where you apparently drive a cab is not indicitive of most locations. Uber provides ME with lower prices and immediately available drivers. Yellow Cab abused its position, and they're paying the price. It's a shame that short sighted local governments are accepting bribes and trying to shore up prices.
That's funny. Kodi works great for me, and Plex refused to index any of my media files at all. I didn't install every Kodi plugin I could find though...
Streaming over wireless to a Chromecast has GOT to be a shitty experience compared to a wired connection.
I regret spending the money I spent on Plex clients, since they're utterly useless to me when the media server just ignores 95% of my content.

It's certainly not worth 1/3 the base subscription fee.

Not really, no. I'm sure they work quite good in benchmarks though.
Never change, buddy. Never change.

I'm curious as to how his layoffs will work.
Of course it is, how else do you "justify" insanely high fares and slow service?
That's how the taxi operators WANT it.
That's why THEY lobbied for the medallion laws, or however else taxi numbers are limited in Austin.
Found the cabbie scum.

Guess who I trust and who I don't?
Well more to the point, someone is making money and is CHEAPER than the entrenched, bribe-throwing Taxi companies.

The demand exceeds supply because the scalpers use automation to suck up all the supply and prevent normal people from buying at regular prices.
In that particular case, I would call that a public service.
Otherwise, scalpers should be scalped.
Comedy is when it happens to you.
Tragedy is when it happens to me.
Or something like that...
I don't think you understand what "MMO"s are.

Why? because YOU don't like them?
Fuck off with that nonsense.

That claim is horseshit. the app doesn't even allow tipping. you have to tip the driver cash.

and then in 2021 everyone goes insane and we get the first great Adult Swim cartoon series.

...And if I get ticketed for driving on a street my tax dollars payed for, I'm suing the city responsible into insolvency.
A city near me in South Florida tried that for a bit. They got smacked down HARD. As they should have.
And if those signs aren't real, someone should sue the fuck out of you. That street is not your property.
