Just saying it. This is the moment people should just fuck off from the game and see if anything has changed in a week or two without getting microtransaction sales and whatelse and keep fucking off until the attitude of the devs (and especially the community manager) turn better. Even better, try to get your refund, it's probably denied but even if it's accepted, what you really loose? You would get the money to rebuy the game if the devs change their attitude, you would probably loose some progression but that's nothing you cannot redo. After all the point is to make a stance, not to just rage over it on the social media and continue doing what brings them money giving them the signal that you're a bit mad but not mad enough to give up feeding them and they should do something worse next to see at which point the camels back will break. As it seems to be more Sony issue, don't buy anything Sony until their attitude changes. It's that simple. No need to get laws, no need to pool money, just stop it. There's around 75,000 games in Steam alone, if you take the Sony titles from that, hell, make it count and let's remove Ubisoft, EA, Activision, 2K and Embracer titles just for solidarity and making actually good choices and you probably still have probably 10,000-30,000 titles to choose from, if you can't find anything fancying your taste from that, you're in very sad state. Same thing with Tarkov. And just about any game, if you don't 100% enjoy it, just fuck off. Especially if it's this kind of business bullshit, the devs speak only one language and that is profit numbers, as long as the internet rage doesn't touch their profitability, they won't change a shit because they don't have anything to change, money comes in and job is well done.

So, pissed off because everyone pretty much ditched off the optical audio because its bandwidth was garbage when moving to HDMI and having the digital audio moving through there? What @ECA is seemingly pointing to is HDCP, which is pretty much supported by anything with HDMI except the most garage built shit which builder didn't even get the memo about spoofing HDCP. If it has HDMI and it's meant for AV, it supports HDCP unless its the most jankiest shit ever built. As you are still only talking about 5.1, you don't need to bother with the Dolby standards since they don't really concern you. They won't stop you from watching your DVD's or whatever, they're there just that if you have put more money into the pit you will get a bit more than just 5.1 surround. The only case where you need to worry your head about them is if you really want to use the toslink, but forget the 80's technology and embrace the modern technology and get some used 5.1 surround AV receivers with HDMI-support and all that goes away. Only thing that you may want to look for is that it had HDMI ARC support which is just that the HDMI-port connecting to the TV can work both ways and you don't need to connect anything else from the TV to the AV receiver. You clearly haven't been swimming in this pool for quite a while and clearly jumped to the deep end and now you're getting way overloaded by all the new things. Take it slowly and read some basic stuff so you can get your head around the terms and new tech because currently you're so confused and away from being knowledgeable that it's hard to even get what you mean and want.

Probably yeah. Most likely if it will sell (the reserve is probably hard to meet) it will sell to someone who will dismantle it and try to sell the parts for some profit or, with a lot less chance, it will sell to someone who already has some supercomputer and is wanting an upgrade and finds this worth it (as in they have the facilities for it and calculate that fixing it and buying the storage is more profitable than buying a completely new one). Used, breaking supercomputers aren't really the hottest selling stuff on the Earth. They could probably get rid off it easier by selling individual cells, racks and even nodes but that probably would take them more time and effort than just throwing it away and as a government body they probably are just seeking the most cost effective way to getting rid off it as they already have a new one running.

While cool and all but it's getting to the end of it's time (the watercooling is dying, the quick connects are leaking as said in the description) and what would Linus do with it? It would be probably the longest running tech series on the YouTube to get it running: - Getting all to fit into a building (probably the Labs building from which it still would take a lot of space). - Upgrading the building to house it (the cooling loops, environmental controls, power and probably fire suppression). - Fixing the watercooling that has caused enough expenses and downtime within 6 months to make it better for the NCAR to eat their losses and sell it off than keep it. - Fixing the damages that the failing watercooling has caused (only the CPUs and RAM DIMMs are common parts, pretty much everything else is proprietary to that machine). - Finding the 1% of the nodes that are currently suffering from ECC errors, fixing them and then probably replacing 10% of the RAM to not have nodes with ECC errors within few months. - Cabling all of it (all internal cables will be given with the machine but they will be removed, that's a lot of cabling). - And then finally figuring out what Linus could do with it (no, it won't even run Cinebench, even less Crysis). Oh yeah, and it's also apparently sold without the storage. The HPE SGI ICE XA includes 40 PB of DDN storage with IBMs SpectrumScale which aren't included in the auction (or at least they aren't listed in the auction). Remember how long it took Linus to finish the first Petabyte project?

Probably need to buy the whole new cooler. Or you could just get some internal USB/HDMI screen for like $30-50, AIDA64, VHB it to the cooler and show whatever stats you want from it.

Second thing it could be is just something in the same circuit (behind the same fuse) is "leaking" current. Most likely some fan, old fridge or other thing with AC motor in it. You can check this by just starting to unplug things from the same circuit (I don't know where you live and what's your country's electric wiring standards, here it's usually one fuse per room so usually the problem device is in the same room as your Mac/console/whatever). Fixing it is then a different thing, either get rid of the device that is probably old, but I guess you have bigger problem with the wiring since anything (by my country's standards) that can leak that much must have some real wiring issues, so get those checked and fixed. You can isolate your devices with something like surge protectors. If you go this way, do not cheap out, get the APC or some other well known big brand, you definedly do not want any "China Specials" when it comes to these. If you want to cheap out get one of those China Special "Power Saver" plugs to one of your outlets and make sure if it catches fire, it doesn't burn anything else. Fun thing about these is that while they are complete scams when it comes to saving power and will usually pull more power, but they usually have big capacitor in them which can work as high-pass filter. (Just make sure it cannot burn your house down, thank you.)

Sounds a lot like a grounding problem. Are you using grounded outlets and that your houses wiring is properly grounded?

There's property and then there's "property". Like I think I pointed out you may own a painting but do you really OWN the painting or just a license to have it? If I commission someone to draw me a character, is that character mine to do whatever I want with it? Or is the character still property of the artist? After all, the artists "support" ends when the files are send. Even if paid only for the jpg-file, shouldn't the artist also send the psd-file because the client may want to alternate the image in the future? Immaterial rights are kind of bitch when it comes to this. Also just the freedoms of everyone, imagine going to some electronics manufacturer and demanding them to release the final drawings, schematics and designs for every product they don't make/support anymore. Also just forcing people to do stuff they don't want to do, that's some real shit there, mate. Then there's the plethora of technologies involved. "Open sourcing" a game by force, especially a larger one, isn't actually as simple as just "do it", at the best just forcing the developer to open source their part will just make another MacOS "open source" game that, well parts of it are publicly open source but can you make a game from those public parts? Nope. And that would be probably what every a bit more bigger game company would actually do if they were forced to open source their games after they drop the support, rip anything with immaterial rights from the game and open source just the parts only they have made because they don't have rights to open source other companies software. Also there's a simple solution to fight this that won't require going all Ace Attorney. Don't buy SHIT. If Square Enix does shit with their games, don't buy them, not even the good ones until they have changed their company policies. That Chocobo statue remains in the store until Square Enix has actually shown they have changed, no matter how good Final Fantasy remake they did. Don't even watch the trailers or the reviews until there has been a change, the company isn't worth your time. ubishit does shit with The Crew, don't waste a second of your time with the Star Wars Outlaws, the company isn't worth it. Even if you're a game reviewer or whatelse, don't touch that shit. Actually, if you're a game reviewer and have a good foothold, especially don't touch that shit, make an actual stand and make it public that you're making a stand. Will you miss something? yeah but that's the point, you rather give up something than touch their shit. Especially for any kind of influencer, that's some really respectable thing to do and can do a lot for the cause. Like imagine if Jay wasn't such a soy boy and instead of just making 13 minute rant video, about Nvidia being bad releasing new flagship GPU among the GPU shortage, had actually put on his man pants and said "fuck it" and probably sacrificed the million views of the RTX 3090 Ti review just for that he thinks it's wrong from Nvidia to release the GPU and not focus on manufacturing affordable models. Or Linus wouldn't have accepted Facebooks money for Quest 2 review after he "took the stance" against the binding the device to the users Facebook account during WAN show. But nah, you gotta buy the newest Final Fantasy, EatAss, Ubishit, Actifucking-Buzzer game because you might miss out a great game and that would be "terrible". Just like influencer virtue signaling because that brings them views and then taking the money because that's what they actually are after. Seriously, any kind of law process or court case in this case is pretty much doomed to be waste of money because the big corporations will lobby and pay ten times the money against them and it won't even hurt them. But just not giving a shit and walking away is basicly free and pretty much only costs some inconvenience and missing out some shit and "oh boy, oh boy" if people could just do that and not be some fucking stupid sheeps, it would literally bring any corporation to their knees and they couldn't even just buy themselves out of it. But no, not buying the newest shit would require managing impulses, suffering through some inconvenience and missing out some shit. Completely unacceptable and inhumane!

By the same logic every art piece when it is sold becomes sole property of the buyer and they can do whatever they want with it. Use it any way they ever want, even as commercially as possible, no need to even mention the artist if they don't want to. After all, the art piece isn't property of the artist anymore, they sold it and it is now sole property of the buyer. After all if we take away the copyrights of the games, why should any other form of media or art be any different? Who's going to pay for that work? The game isn't generating even enough to keep the lights on and probably the preservist side is on the normal stance that especially they aren't paying for it, they just want it. Also comparing to the current games who is going to run those servers. Like Battlefield currently runs quite impressive server architecture to combat hackers. Like if you have 50 player match going, on the server there actually isn't a one match for all but every player has their own match to which their actions are inputted and then actions of other players are selectively copied to that instance and send to the client. And all that so there wouldn't be any chance for client getting more information about the match than is necessary (so no chance for wall hacks). That also means your normal gaming PC ain't going to run the server. Then there's the hacker problem. To combat hacking you need to make more complicated netcode and strengthen your infrastructure, which will mean it will be more expensive and even further away from being something magically to be turned into open source. Just say you want the monthly fees back. People really did love that you first bought a game and then needed to pay just to play it. Otherwise maybe you could figure out the mythical way of running servers without costs. The worst this kind of law making would do is that every game would cease to work way before the laws are made just so companies can run away from the massive refunds and that would be end of that era because only idiots would even try to make online games. But just to make it clear, IMO there's two sides which are both insufferably idiotic. The one side is greedy as hell but I don't think the other side is any better in their greed. Like I said, collecting money to sue a company which closed a game because running the game was unprofitable, instead of collecting money to buy the servers from the company and so preserving the game. I only remember one time someone has actually done something concrete was when Valve bought the rights to Arkham Asylum to get rid of the Microsoft DRM. Otherwise it's always pretty much whining whining and more whining. And it all will be forgotten once the Outlaws hit the shelves. People, people never change, it's so funny how people are at one time on the barricades wanting to burn the company to the ground and the next the company releases new shiny thing, people are again completely fine with the company raping them. Just look at EatAss, it's actually miraculous how fast people forgot about lootboxes and the whole Walletfront 2 fiasco when Fallen Order dropped. Like EA was elbow deep in peoples rectums and people were very fucking angry but new shiny thing and having an arm in you is actually pretty awesome. But that's pretty much the thing about modern people, boycotts and black listing is so long "fighting the machine" and being tough until it becomes inconvenient or people could actually miss something because they aren't in the bandwagon.

It's most likely for the shroud lights. The one 4-pin connector alone is for RGB on the logo and the 4-pin connector with the thicker cables (close to the 2-pin connector) is for the fans.

On one hand it sucks that games die and you cannot play them after that. On the other hand, does even all the games (all, meaning every single one, not just the ones you love and like but also those you completely hate are bad and all that) deserve preservation? Remember, saying "all the games need preservation" does include asset flips, the ripoffs and other absolute garbage that is surprising someone managed to even release. Third one is the ability to preserve them. I can give you and example of a "game" that is basicly impossible to be preserved by anyone else than me. It wasn't as much a game but experiment on how to use google maps to create VR game and the server part was basicly scraping Google Maps/Earth for satellite, 3D-city data and streetview for each player and streaming that to the headsets. To preserve that you would have either needed my server that was loaned from Google and directly connected to the Maps network for that data scraping or you would also need to duplicate the around 20 petabytes of Google Maps data. And then I would need to find a way to deliver all that to you, probably as always with these, for free because you didn't take into account that there might be something else than just a database and some calculations on positions and outcomes on the servers, not 20 petabytes worth of data (that HDD/SSD amount you must handle by yourself, good luck). Would you be willing to invest your money to build custom server infrastructure to preserve one game that you love? This brings us to the point I made when someone was collecting money to sue Ubishit for closing The Crew, why didn't he collect the money to buy the servers from Ubishit and host the game himself with that money if it is that important? Like, it's probably just few thousands per month (probably just ten times that on global scale, wouldn't like to leave out those three people loving it in the Bogo bogo island, would you?) that the servers cost. If the game is that loved collecting that much shouldn't be a problem especially for a youtuber. I am playing a bit devil's advocate here, but that's also just the truth. There is costs to run online games, it is bad design to require online for single players and all that, I actually despise that so much I refuse to even consider getting those kinds of games from Humble Choice or anywhere else, I won't even talk about them because they're not worth even that much of my time. But when in the future it comes to preserving something like EVE:Online or Star Citizens or any other extremely massive projects, who is going to be even able to do that financially? Not every games uses servers that you can host from your PC, a lot of them do, but not all and when they don't we get the problem "who is going to preserve this when it's only a black hole of money and no one is willing to pay the bills?"

There's some open-back bluetooth headphones but that's pretty much it for that. You could always try to hack some old wireless headphones and stuff their insides into open-back headphones or DIY some kind of box for those insides and connect headphones to that. One possibility would be to get wireless monitoring system, as in one of those that musicians use on stages. You need to do the research what is good and what is not but I can say that much, be sure to see that they are stereo and keep eye on the RX side impedance because those are meant to power IEM's which means they probably won't have the power to run high impedance headphones. They are a possible solution but I won't give any guarantees that they are a good solution, they usually have latency lower or around 5ms and usually have just TRRS connector so any headphone will go with them, but the sound quality, price and can they run the headphones are big questions that you need to find the answers. I can say old Sennheiser Evolution series system had the capability to do VR with, not that great sound quality at least with cheap IEM's and used price was already like 400€ or something around there, it worked but that's pretty much it.

I will save you the $40 the dropshipped turntable you have linked would cost. No, they won't sound any better and you will be wasting your money, especially with $40 dropshipped thing already only in Amazon sold by 3 different dropshippers. At the best you get to enjoy the really vintage music listening experience which will include: Distorted sound even on low volume, basicly only middles because lows would need bigger speaker and highs would need smaller speaker, extra scratchy needle to "improve" the vintage experience on the second play, the lovely pops that are louder than the Jericho trumpets, twice as nasty and ten times more scary. Just for reference, people who say vinyls are so great over digital audio and aren't doing so just because they're hipsters, have sunk usually 4-5 figure sums into their audio systems and probably have a turntable with a pricetag in the high 3 to middle 4 figure sums. And you think you can get anywhere near with $40? If you inherit vinyl collection or get some crazy good deal for a bunch of vinyls, then it's probably wort it to invest the couple hundreds to have something with which to listen to them, or get something knowingly good as used. Couple vinyls and $40, cut your looses, get some Ikea frames for your vinyls and enjoy the album art while listening the album digitally, that is better investment than the dropshipped turntable with a speaker and bluetooth.

I thought about that but I looked and about 60€ more compared to just doing it completely free, "nah, I trust way shadier things with my stuff already". And it's pretty much either someone breaks into my LAN through my printer or through my smart home hub or through both, just a question who you trust more. Neither OctoEverywhere nor Nedis seem to have done fishy things so far, so the cheaper option it is. Thanks for pointing out where I can put the G-code thumbnails, was kind of thinking where that comes from but didn't get to it (there's "few" other things more important).

Going with OctoEverywhere. Turns out there was already an app for that too, I just was dumb enough not to search with right terms

After years of circling it like a cat hot porridge: 3D-printer. A week ago to be exact but got it today. Sovol SV07 Plus. I have to say, I am disappointed. I excepted to spent at least couple days troubleshooting and tweaking and it was just going through the manual and the bloody thing just works. Just a bit G-code tweaking so the homing doesn't go haywire after the print head stucks to the print. Good thing everything else took a while. Decided to not spend 80€ or something for ready made drybox because "saving" money and just DIY that thing: Costed probably more than 80€ if you include getting Zigbee based smart home hub and climate sensor for it just to escape the horrors that would have become from me trying to make a hole to read some digital thermo-humidity-meter (just look at that beautiful smearing of silicon to make a casket for the lid). But it will hold a lot of filaments and good 12% humidity with only metering consuming power, 2x1kg of reusable silica gel bags should be enough for a long time and when they stop, just few times few minutes in microwave. At least the concrete block was cheaper than I expected. Now just need to figure out how I could connect to the fluidd/mainsail with phone remotely. Was kind of hoping NordVPN's Meshnet would do it but of course it doesn't support Android phones jumping to the local network through Windows.

You probably know the word "example"? I can go for example, why would you pay around 20€ more for Asus RX 6500XT TUF Gaming OC than Sapphire RX 6500 XT PULSE? The Asus probably has one more blinking light but is that really worth 20€? If you're going for dGPU, it's pretty much stupid to go for the i3 14100 and not save the 20€ again and go for the 14100F. We can do that same in the RTX 4090 and i9/Ryzen 9 range and save quite significant sums without really changing anything, i9 14900KS is just 100MHz faster in max boost than the over 100€ cheaper 14900K, Gigabyte RTX 4090 Windforce V2 is over 200€ cheaper than Gaming OC and all you loose is 15MHz of boost clock and get a different plastic shroud. Doing the research and knowing what you need and what you don't will save you few coins here and there even without really changing the product and that applies to any price ranges. In every price range there is also straight out stupidity in pricing which you can shave off without really loosing anything else than the status of being stupid sheep. Sometimes spending that 20€ more and getting the iGPU may save you a lot of time and money, like if you're buying used dGPU and aren't 100% sure it works and you don't have troubleshooting gear. But that is decision to be made by knowing what you have and what you need. Like if you're getting dGPU, iGPU is 90% waste of money, the amount of DOA hardware is rather low and "maybe I need it in the future"-mentality is often for vain.

Case and fans are clear places to cheap out as much as possible. CPU cooler and storage to some extent. So, don't go for the cheapest of the cheapest but you won't also need the best of the best so getting cheap is okay. RAM, CPU and GPU mindfully. Like if you're on a budget, do the research. Figure out what you want and what you need and ask around. You can lower your budget surprisingly lot if you learn to read the data somewhat, not just what is presented but the frame also. Like it's clear that in pure specs something like RTX 4070 TUF isn't as good as RTX 4070 STRIX OC, but that's like $100-200 difference and the real difference, different plastics and really nothing (the 50Mhz higher boost clock is really nothing, absolutely nothing, just get AfterBurner or whatever and put the power limit to 110% and like 10C more in temperature target and you can easily overclock that TUF version higher than the STRIX OC). Same with CPU's, like if you're on a budget and every penny counts and you're looking at something like Ryzen 7 7700 vs. 7700X, it's like $10 difference but what that $10 gives you, 700MHz higher base clock and 100MHz more theoretical boost clock, the base clock really doesn't mean shit because the CPU will boost and figure itself out, the 100MHz in the boost clock really isn't anything, if you're on a budget there's clear $10 savings. Any extra lights and bling bling, forget. They are the one thing that costs nothing to add to the product but brings a lot of profit which means people are willing to buy higher price for that cents costing extra light. If you want lights and keep budget, order RGB light strips from AliExpress of some other, they cost almost nothing and with some crafting look as good if not better. Like for serious example how much companies are pissing on people buying some bling bling. The couple inch screen on some AIOs that cost like 100-200€ more than the same thing without one, that screens costs like 20€ + like 20€ control board. it's even worse if they have been so fucking greedy it's just HDMI-screen because then the control board costs like 5€ and is more likely included in the screen. Anyone who thinks that is worth the +100€ is fucking idiot in my opinion. If you're on a budget and not a baller, drop all of that and rather DIY it, finding LED strips and the few inch screens isn't hard and they don't cost a much if you want to add them, even better if you DIY them, you probably have better control over them than through some manufacturers proprietary software. Motherboard, think what you really need and want. PSU, never cheap out, just never. Of course don't buy anything stupid like the ones with screens or stupidly overkill for your parts. But never, ever, ever, never go and buy the surprise firecracker discount piece. Check the PSU tier list and get something good because that will save you a lot by being sure not to fuck things up.

Same way they keep falling for roads made from solar panels, wireless charging over long distances, trains running in vacuum tubes, radioactive batteries, free energy, carbon nanotubes this and superconductor graphene that and did I miss something and is every techbro now offended? Pretty much if any upcoming tech device from some startup requires more than 1 or 2 major breakthroughs in common technology (AiPin has camera, projection, AI processing and generally breaking in completely new product category), don't believe it before you see it, there's more than 80% chance for it being investment scam and they never had any way or even any want to produce that thing. There is the small chance it's just going to be a complete let down and just misleading marketing in hopes to get rich and run with the money and extremely vanishing chance it's actually real. There's a reason why these things usually go more public funding path and that is because usual investment paths smell the smoke a mile away and it's much easier to get peoples retirement funds than try to apply for business loan from a bank with faked videos.

In no particular order: - Close Combat series (especially the earlier ones) - Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance - Jedi Knight series - Die By The Sword - Fallout (mostly 1 and 2) - GORN - In Sound Mind - Hugo - TES series - Duke Nukem 3D - Myst - Elite: Dangerous - The Incredible Machine - Sniper Elite - Batman Arkham series Yada yada yada...

*Looks at 3DS* Yeah, Nintendo definedly would do exactly that. And isn't even this thread exactly people getting angry for Nintendo closing the servers? And no, the overpriced plastic screened Nvidia Shield Tablet is the very last "console" I would ever buy.

That is generally problem with anything like this. A lot of people are noisy and rising to the barricades and at the same time do the most hypocritical things possible because convenience. Personally I love it when there's news about some factory getting caught using child labor or something else and people start almost screaming how bad it is and how they will never support companies that manufactured anything in that factory... And then they order shit from Chinese dropshit stores, because "so cheap", and whole thing is either way forgotten when the new shiny miracle windchime is released. Assembly has dropped Jimm's from the official sponsors but I am 75% sure if the Assembly Summer 2024 has gaming competitions or loaner machines, they all are from Jimm's because pretty much unless some stores do huge upgrades in their resources and manning, there's either PCs from Jimm's or some pre-builds. And week-couple later when those come to sale, they will sell like hot potatoes as always because they go really cheap and are "okay" gaming machines. I don't think people even remember this whole thing when that time comes, no matter how much they now bluster in the social media. At least YouTubers will be back in the sponsor rings after the smoke clears, there's probably couple who have the balls not to return but most of them don't give a shit about anything else than doing the business. I remember there having been something like this back when caseking bought Jimm's, in smaller scale but still, and it really came to nothing. I remember when the Verkkokauppa.com opened their store in Raisio and the security side was bought by some Easterneuropean/Russian flipping tourists who curved past the line in a bus and were let in because "they had brought a paper with names a day before", that was juicy shit in social media especially when that bus full of people basicly cleaned the store from opening discounts, people were going to boycott Verkkokauppa and what came from that? Absolutely nothing. Even in world scale, workers were jumping from the roof of the Foxconn factory, people got angry and were going to boycott Apple for using a factory with such working environment, couple months past and people are back to staining their panties over the new iPhones made in that exact Foxconn factory (later they installed the anti-suicide nets but that was like couple years later).

"Pretty visible". Basicly Jimm's is the only store in Finland selling certain things like pretty much everything more niche in PC building. Tells a lot when you go to Verkkokauppa.com, the second big PC component seller in Finland, and for them "watercooling" means only AIOs. You need custom watercooling stuff, it's either Jimm's, internet or back to the good old days of junkyards and aquarium stores. Just to add to the situation before someone comments "just buy from Amazon". We don't have Amazon or eBay, we must use German Amazon and eBay. Amazon Prime in Finland is pretty much only the streaming service, no next day deliveries or anything. Wanna order from Caseking? That would be shipping costs starting at 14,99€. There used to be more PC stores in Finland but like almost closer to 15 years ago certain PC store brand (Tietoasema) aggressively underpriced everything and spread like a cancer only to drive pretty much everyone else except Jimm's (which survived only by being as niche store as it is) out and then one day just folded like a wet card house leaving a huge vacuum that was filled pretty much only by Jimm's. There's some PC stores but pretty much all of them are more or less just selling components as a secondary business and primary thing being selling laptops and serving business customers.

I am all in for banning retractable door handles and while at it they should also ban electronic only door mechanisms. From experience with the brainfart Mazda 6 2016 wagon which has only electronic trunk latch and oh boy, is it "fun" when your battery goes bad and you have dog barrier and of course your jumper cables are in the trunk and your friend who came to give power doesn't have cables. At that point many will understand why mechanical bypass is pretty damn good to include (or at least not hard mounted dog barriers). That was money well spent to get another pair of jumper cables. I don't even want to imagine how "fun" it must be when you have only electric latches in every door and hatch and then your battery goes bye bye. But I guess if you have the money to drive such a car, you probably can afford the tow to the shop or replace the window, except if someone was stupid enough to put extra durable window that you cannot easily break (RIP Lassie on a hot summer day). Either there's clearly visible mechanical bypass or the manufacturers figure out standard place for it so, it is there and not just somewhere. And also while at it, demand that all even slightly necessary car functions must be able to be performed without watching anything else than the road. So, fuck the tablet cars. If you need to go through even 1 setting screen to adjust your A/C or change the radio station, that is too much eyes away from the road. If car must have touch screen, it should be locked while driving, you have all the time getting handsy with your car on a parking lot, no need to do that shit on the road. Everything anyone would need to do while driving should be instinctive and everyone should be able to do them eyes closed in their dreams without sacrificing a single second of their attention from the road.

I think the "go watch something else" is actually the best answer. If you don't like something why are you consuming it and complaining? Why don't you just take your time, resources, money and everything and give them away to someone who really deserves it, who you can watch without needing to complain? Why must someone, something, whatever else turn into something that is tailored for you rather than you try to find that what you want elsewhere? I believe this is the biggest problem in todays world, people don't have the backbone to say "this isn't for me, you crossed the line, goodbye" and walk away. But no, they must consume exactly that, get offended by it, interact by complaining and... Do the exact thing that brings in the money. Any social media and especially YouTube lives from the interaction, they don't give a fuck what kind of interaction it is just as long as people leave comments, click the links and generate data that can be monetized. That's why Facebook and Twitter turn into polarized echo boxes because people are more likely to interact with things they agree with and things that they strongly disagree with. Same thing in gaming, EA and Ubishit will continue make the complete garbage level business and drive the game industry into hell because people are too weak to say "fuck it" and leave the NHL and Assassin's Creed into the shelves and not even consume the time it takes to complain about the games. Enough people just walk away and don't do the thing that brings money to the table, the business must change. If the humor of LTT isn't your piece of bread, walk away, don't give LTT the views and exposure they need to make money, just walk away and hope enough people have felt the same and are wise enough to do the same and LTT must change their content to lure the people back in, do the changes they need to do to deserve your time and resources over the millions of other content creators competing for your time. It is a hard thing but that's life, sometimes you must give up what you love to make the thing you love better.
