It's made by gamers for gamers, not some corporate slop like epic, xbox, ea, ubisoft, etc. That means you have features gamers want with only enough restrictions to not piss off developers and moral busybodies.

Others:
- Itch.io and GOG don't have DRM so it's less appealing to devs.
- Xbox and Epic are not trustworthy because they censor too much and are sketchy for devs with free games, games as a service, no Linux support, etc.
- EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard stores have the same problems as Xbox and Epic but worse and are limited to their games.

That leaves with only Steam being appealing to gamers and devs despite the flaws.

>better user experience.
this is precisely why I use a physical calculator

>>107734530
I don't need more power. I want something that makes it very simple to get the answer I want very quickly. For 90% of small computations I can pick up my cheap casio and get the answer in less time that it would take to open excel or start r studio and dismiss the annoying update popup or launch windows' awful webshit calculator app.

If I need repeatability or documentation or to do something with lots of data or calculate something that I need the specialist software to do I'll get out the big guns but a lot of the time I don't and the calculator is just better.

I use it for calculations occasionally, sure I could use Wolfram alpha but input is a fucking pain when my calc has all the buttons dedicated to it. There exists some merit in purpose built machines. Also the ENG button on my 991EX is a blessing
This my personal opinion but it's cool to have a pocket math machine that will work essentially forever, unless my retarded ass forgot the battery in and it leaked.

Even if all the costs 2x, computer hardware will still be relatively affordable unless you replace the whole computer every couple years.
People will adapt by keeping their rigs for longer or will sacrifice on a bit of performance, but I don't see PCs going away completely unless the cost difference between them and cloud computing is huge.
Urban normies will probably gladly pay for a 500 bucks or so terminal with a 20-30 buck subscription though. Hell, they already paid that for a console + internet subscription.

now I simply assume everything is AI slop until proven otherwise

it was actually really early one dalle-2 abstract generated stuff that i thought someone was making with photoshop.
Discovering it was AI generated at the time seemed neat
and then i realized what that meant and quickly dropped any interaction with AI anything

I got tricked by that stupid 4chan made webm of a cat looking at his female owner sitting in a bath. It's very convincing but then the cat does a dance and you realize it was AI all along.

I'm pretty sure some anon reading this knows exactly the webm I mean and will post it.

The battery conditions get lower, its similar to thermal throttling, its power throttling due to battery voltage drop at certain current load. I remember older phones would become fast again about 3 or so days after replacing the battery with a fresh one

Xm4 is better
No hissing in wired mode, less bass bloaty than xm5 while still having the healthy bass boost
Xm6 is the worst, only thing it does better is support lower latency, its anc even has a faint whistles in the right speaker(you have to focus to hear it, it's probably like 10db but def a regression from xm4 and xm5) and the sound is just not as good as xm4's despite costing over 2x as much
Also xm4 still has the better low frequency ANC ability, somehow

it’s genuinely sad to see, i knew this place went downhill but didn’t realise it was this bad.

IF you cannot write software FOR a given device USING the device itself, it is NOT a real computer, it’s that simple.

I need a formula 1 car to do my groceries. Otherwise it's not a real car. What? You're using a corolla? Damn it's sad to see this place is going downhill.

>>107739945
funny, but in this case the corolla would be a 300$ windows laptop and the formula would’ve the 1000$+ apple device

ricing thinkpad is legit more important than whatever theorical shit you'll learn, it's a labor of love first and foremost, subhumans who're in for the money are very bad at their job, uninteresting to talk to and will burn-out under 2 years in a real job.
I hire C/C++ devs regularly, the best hires are the one who do shit on their free time and can hold a conversation about any field in tech because they at the very fucking least read the wikipedia page and believe me, it's already more than 90% of the smoothbrains we have in the field.
I've seen "linux dev" who never heard of gcc and his experience in linux was legit so this retard literally absolutely never cared about his craft otehrwise he would know about it.

I don't want to be selfish but if my life is just suffering in a few years after trying whatever I can, I will have to do something, even if it causes some harm.

>Taking a month just to strike conversations with strangers
How do I learn to talk to people just randomly? If someone asks me about something I tend to be able to respond like a normal person would, but just trying to talk to people feels wrong. What if they just want to be left alone? What if they don't like me? Again, I don't want to harm others.

>long distance running
I don't think I will like it but that sounds like something I could actually try without being too uncomfortable.

Ditto.

>Getting on dating apps
Would someone really want to date an emotionally unstable slightly questioning trans girl? I doubt it where I live.

Maybe I could find a pen pal if people still do that since it is like having a friend but more of a mutual seeking of friendship that I don't need to talk to people irl for. After all, I image it would be sort of like our chatting here but longer lived.

I have also though about cutting my own hair since it has lots of split ends and is at some parts down to my chest. That might help too... Maybe a straight fringe, a tad bit stereotypically trans but less so this decade and it looks cute. I already have long hair so people around wouldn't question it too much.

Ok, dude, sure, whatever.
If you really think feeling awkward and slightly annoying some strangers is truly a worse thing that becoming maggot feed before even turning 20 then try the HRT and if doesn't work then go ahead with your plan and kill yourself.

This should be a novelette on philosophy and thinkpads kek.

>>107739963
>you really think feeling awkward and slightly annoying some strangers is truly a worse thing
I just don't how I am supposed to do it without seeming retarded but I do like talking to people irl when a conversation does get started.

I guess I just have to try it (talking to people, not just hrt). I am sorry if I seem unreasonable currently. Talking with has been very insightful; thank you, goodnight.
