Steam was ass because it was just a an update platform, and most of us still had 56k or isdn as their means to the Internet and gaming. Yea it sucked when updates came out and you had to patch, it was a new thing to get patches like that vs buying a physical disk and the game just worked and didn’t require a day 1 update.
But they don’t have a monopoly…they just provide a superior product. Anyone can open another marketplace up, a lot have. There are no laws saying they can’t and valve has never tried to suggest they can’t.
They using concrete drills or something? Cause normal drills shouldn’t be that loud.
Well your questions sparked me to look again for a short cable that’s not $40…
And whatdaknow found these, look like same quality as the expensive ones and like $6. I ordered the blue and silver ones.

Once they get here in two weeks I’m going to try them out…but now I need to find a DAC/amp combo that’s clip on lol
The issue I have with those is the wires going down my shirt and into my pocket. I have been thinking of looking for a clip on BT DAC/AMP to clip to my shirt neck and then a super short wire, but I can’t find super short wires for whatever reason (that aren’t priced at like $40). So I think I’m going to have to figure out how to make a pair.
Anc for me doesn’t really matter (only other noise I battle against is farm animals or equipment), if you have a good seal on your IEMs, then you’re not going to hear anything but the music anyways. Using my farm equipment, it’s actually quieter with IEMs than it was with neckbands that had ANC anyways.

5181pro, that uses the qcc5181 BT chip. Then I have mmcx to .78 2pin ear loops (you can find them for like $5). This allows me to swap out to other pin outs as well if I ever get IEMs with different pinouts than the most common (.78). The battery lasts me two days of 8-10 hour listening and they’re decently well built. Way way stronger than the single cord ones you can get for cheaper. There is a 8 core braided one that nutty on YT suggestes to get but he suggested it back when it was $80 now it’s $130ish and that was just way to much for my taste.
I went over to IEMs a month ago. Bought a solid Bluetooth 5.4 neckband for them, and now I have like 5 pairs of IEMs. BT neckband I can pop open and replace it’s battery as well (soldering required but non destructive). They sound a million times better than any of my TWS earbuds or neckbands and they are cheaper. To top it all off, because it’s 3 different parts, if something breaks I can replace just it and not have to deal with tossing the whole thing. I wish I had known about them years ago.
Wish we had a Zelenskyy in the white House and not the festering pile of orange shit we currently have.
It’s because this thread is filled with Linux bros. Windows scheduling updates at night and gives you weeks to prepare. It’s even funnier seeing people say osx doesn’t do this…it absolutely does. It will run an update if you wait to long and it takes just as long usually. Linux sure won’t do this, but the majority of people have no clue how to use Linux and it’s unfortunately not part of the corporate world in mass, and probably never will for workstations because of it’s steeper learning curve.
Here’s an idea, why don’t you leave you nazi fuck.
Most of the people who get phished, are not educated enough to avoid it. They don’t want to be, because computers are just supposed to work and not be something they need to learn.
If you’re educated and ask questions vs just assuming everything is legit and giving away everything they ask for then you realize quickly that phishing is not as convincing as you’re making it out to be.
The problem is that if they’re getting phished with TOTPs then they’ll walk through a scammer over the phone to let them access their accounts other ways.
You can put all the security in place all you want but 99% of breaches aren’t coming from red team actors “hacking” into a system. It’s way easier (and even moreso now with LLMs able to do robo calls with human sounding voices) and get Brian from accounting to give up his shit…or even the CEO to give up his.
I’ve seen it all, they willfully will give over their access because they’re dumb as fuck.
Fair enough, I just feel like the tankies here are home grown morons lol
Naa those aren’t bots though, that’s literally tankies doing that shit.
Look at the little tankie brigade down voting anything that they don’t like when you call them out in a instance they don’t control lol
You tankies don’t need to be called bots, you do that shit all on your own. The fediverse and Lemmy is way to small for russia to give a shit about it. You guys spew tankie shit for free for them.
The fediverse is a drop in the bucket was my point. They don’t need to since the devs of Lemmy are tankies already. So no need to waste resources (bots) on Lemmy when western tankies are doing it for free.
They’re focusing on YT/Facebook/Twitter/Reddit sized platforms.
I’m not saying we’re not a decent size but in the grand scheme of things we’re a drop in the ocean.
Naa they’re just an idiot tankie. Fediverse is to small to be focused on, we have our own russian shills doing it for free.
Goddamn you dumbasses will huff the fuck out of your bullshit won’t you.
Soviets didn’t make it back to Poland until 44 and the US had been well into the war and fighting in Europe and Pacific theater for years.
The Soviets also lost so many because they just threw bodies at the nazis. Same shit they’re doing in Ukraine.
How many people died makes no difference on how they helped in defeating the nazis, they sided with for 2 years hoping to split up Europe with them.
Also way to leave off the final bit of the quote
"although I don’t want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances.”
Truman saw that the USSR was just as bad as nazi Germany…but it doesn’t fit your propaganda so…keep on with that russian shill bullshit.
Most games on PC worked first release, because most people didn’t have good enough Internet to get a patch. What games are you thinking about that were buggy or didn’t work pre-steam?
I can’t think of a game pre-steam that didn’t work or was so buggy it required a patch. They had to ship working products back then. There was no send it and patch it day one like there is today. Consoles %100 had to work day one.
