They're not undercutting public transport. Are you retarded?
As to undercutting taxis, Fuck yea. Fuck the cab companies and their asshole scammer (and rapist) drivers. "No mon, my credit card reader don't work. Hold on for a minute. I'm on the phone to Haiti"
If you honestly think someone like me is going to give up their favorite hobby to avoid setting a "BAD EXAMPLE" you're incredibly naiive. And no I'm not going to switch to Linux compaitble games. That's like giveing up chocolate for carob on religious grounds. Never going to happen.
Similarly, I had a tooth removed after a bad root canal attempt. It only took one of the pills I was prescribed to scare the fuck out of me. It felt WAY too good.
I'm thankful that I flushed that bottle down the toilet.
Well tough shit for them then. Maybe don't have a family if your job is obsolete?
The blowback for these people being a "Yuge" part of Dumpsterfire's support base is going to be devastating to that region. Support and sympathy are already evaporating.
As the Republicans are fond of saying, those people should pull themselves up by the bootstraps and figure out how to learn or move.
FWIW, when moderating, I find that "Overrated" against something moderated "Interesting" that doesn't deserve it works just fine.
And agreed "I don't carry a smartphone" and "I have never owned a TV" are some of the most useless, narcissistic sorts of posts here. Like "Really? you think I give a single flying fuck that you're a proud Luddite? How about discussing the matter at hand instead of making a smarmy, dismissive post about how you find technology distasteful?"
Except that I have no interest in the Samsung walled garden. Bixby is garbage, and the main reason why "Tizen watches use less battery" is that you can't drain your battery if you have no useful apps.
I'm looking forward to new Wear hardware later this year. I stopped buying ALL Samsung hardware because they keep pushing that Tizen garbage, and all their special samsung services too. I already have Google. I don't need Samsung's "Me too" crap.
Oh, fuck you. Everyone EVERYWHERE in the world is sitting on land that someone stole from someone else at some point in history. Nobody is living somewhere their family or clan has owned since the beginning of history.
Hopefully this doesn't give companies an excuse to ignore native Linux development.
They don't need an excuse. It's not even on their radar.
Don't get me wrong. I use Linux for serious work. I worked for Canonical for several years a while ago.
I do not expect any serious game publisher making AAA games to consider NATIVE Linux development to be even a "nice-to-have"
I'm just being realistic.
My entertainment involves games. usually on my high-end windows gaming rig. I'm unlikely to use this facility that Steam has provided because I don't run Linux on my high-end gaming box. There will always be a performance hit, and I'm not interested in dealing with that.
In South Florida, the taxi drivers are on the phone ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
I don't know what fantasy planet you come from where Taxi drivers are some kind of fucking paragon of service and safety. Services like Uber came to be because TAXI DRIVERS ARE SCUM.They cheat, they do everything they can to maximize the cost of the ride. They pretend their card readers are busted because they want to be paid on cash.
The worst uber/lyft drivers are TAXI drivers looking for extra money.
So buy a 1080. The price isn't going to go down because at this point, Nvidia has no reason to produce any more of them. If you find a retailer that wants to clearance them, great. This is the way it has ALWAYS been for graphic card releases. You can likely find a new 2070 or 2060 when they come out for less than a 1080. Yea they might have features you don't consider important, but that's what Nvidia is making now.
Nothing. Why would they release new hardware without the new features they spent R&D on? There's no upside there. If you want underpowered garbage, buy AMD.
Doubtful. I have no reason to buy AMD kit until it can surpass the Nvidia stuff I already have. AND work with the games I want to use it with without any SINGLE bit of me having to do something special.

Which would explain why Trumpsterfire is trying to get restrictions on it and Asbestos loosened.

Cool story, bro. You go on paying at least double, waiting in inordinate amount of time, carrying cash and wasting your time.
You and Fluffernutter, our favorite angry cabbie roommates or something?

Exactly. You have a right to free speech. You do not have a right to use my printing press to exercise it.
Who wants to make phone calls? Only calls i get are scams and spam. Data connectivity is the only use fie a mobile device.
What good is long battery life on a device that does nothing USEFUL?
Not always. Lasership (AMZN) drivers also still use personal vehicles when package traffic is high. At least in SoFL
If it's employer provided/subsidized, you have no realistic option.
It should be ILLEGAL for them to have that as a compulsory term.
Full stop.
Try that shit in Europe and see how long it works for you.
Thing is, it's none of my fucking business what you do in your PRIVATE life, and it's none of YOUR fucking business what I do in mine.
I'm not willing to sacrifice my privacy, or yours, to maximize profits for Insurance companies. You think you're going to get LOWER rates from this?
Oh you sweet summer child.
That's like saying "I'd rather eat Carob and follow LDS teachings than eat Chocolate."
I don't give a shit about tomfoolery. I want the best I can get.

They don't want to learn?
Fuck
Them.

I don't see it as thoughtful or "human" at all. Simply reactionary.
As long as EVERYONE in that area agrees, fine.

On his work laptop.
If he's working in a Windows shop, that's not going to work the way you think it is.
So not a problem with wind energy, but a (self correcting) problem with a moron then?
Oh, fuck you. Everyone EVERYWHERE in the world is sitting on land that someone stole from someone else at some point in history. Nobody is living somewhere their family or clan has owned since the beginning of history.
Period.
Get over this "stolen land" shit.

Cool. You stick to those guns. I'll be playing the games I enjoy without giving a shit if the drivers are open sourced.
For me, Fallout VR and Skyrim VR are killer apps. I also like a lot of the smaller indie games for VR.
I live alone. I don't give a flying fuck how weird the helmet looks. I care that it entertains me, and it does.
Looking forward to adding a even more powerful Nvidia card to my rig. FSM knows AMD isn't up to the task
Doubtful. I have no reason to buy AMD kit until it can surpass the Nvidia stuff I already have. AND work with the games I want to use it with without any SINGLE bit of me having to do something special.
They'll never get there.
