It’s a lot of things. But complex tech can involve literally thousands of hardware engineers. Each with very specific skills.

The proximity of these highly skilled workers to cheap chinese labour is another reason why this is difficult to replicate elsewhere.

Appreciate the suggestions, probs check them out afterwards. I just wanna do it for the shits n gigs

Probably not but maybe I’ll be able to play a game. Old laptop. Old Games. New OS. See what happens.

Oh I’m poor my laptop has AMD.

I’m going to try Steam OS on one of my laptops. See what that’s like.

Don’t give them any ideas. Next thing you know we’re getting charged with hate crimes for calling delivery bots clankas.

In a nutshell this is impossible because of how the global supply chain works. Specifically how most of the hardware engineers/factories are in Taiwan, and how the technology to make chips is proprietarily owned by a company in Norway.

Like the whole reason China wants Tiawan in the first place is the same reason they can’t just bomb them into submission… Their population of highly skilled hardware engineers that fundamentally make the global chips supply chain possible is impossible to replace.

Canadian here: Do I have to have been to Iowa to get this? Seems like a pretty reasonable bilaw to me.

Honestly starting to feel like avoiding life changing identity theft is just putting off the inevitable. Like I’m dodging traffic at a train crossing.

If your kick is new music than you should just switch languages and listen to stuff pre 2022.

A cross-game AI coop player that doesn’t suck would be kind of cool tho.

Emulating is becoming Easier.

I’m so thankful my parent’s rule was that we muted TV commercials. Crazy how many people don’t think to just mute youtube ads and pay attention to something else for 30 seconds.

You sure you’re not neurodivergent? This is a very neurodivergent train of thought ngl.

I’m an uncle. I bring a popup canopy, extra chairs, and stuff that helps my siblings / other parents at gatherings.

At the last family funeral I brought a bunch of kids fabric colouring bags with markers. Kept all the little ones occupied during the ceremony.

I just got informed that my toddler nephew asks for me and tries to do somersaults like I ‘taught’ him once.

Kids can never have too many good role models. Takes a village to raise a child.
