I’m in a pretty mercenary mindset about it these days TBH. I’ve got some money on the table, whoever can provide 32gb of RAM and three HDDs for my RAID at a price that’s not ridiculous can have it.

China seems to be working on it.

There’s a preview version of union in Plasma 6.7 I believe, although it’s a bit bare-bones IIRC.

Microsoft’s entire business plan seems to be to produce the shittiest possible interpretation of every single piece of software they can think of, and then have it become the default that everyone uses for some fucking reason.

Are you using btrfs by any chance? I think copy-on-write can sometimes cause delays in Dolphin. Mine doesn’t always update the free disk space right away when I delete a file, for example.

I really hope China or someone else can step up and just flood the entire market with cheap components eventually.

Here’s a piece of the old knowledge: if you had a CRT monitor and a chair with rubber/insulated feet, you could lift your feet off the floor, spread one hand as wide as you could across the screen, turn the monitor off, and you could zap someone with an electric shock with your other hand.

You could also daisy-chain it across multiple people, so if you could rope 4-5 people into helping you then you could all hold hands and zap someone on the other side of the room if they weren’t paying attention.

That seems like a really good way to get sick lol

I didn’t get a PS5 when it came out for the same reason. Now it’s more expensive than it was at launch and my wages haven’t changed.

I genuinely can’t see any reason to get one. Like… if you’re a PC gamer with enough spare cash to get one, you can probably get a better gaming PC for the same money. If you’re a console gamer, there’s no reason to switch because the 512gb with no controller is almost double the cost of a five year old PS5, which has better specs and a controller, plus you’d have to buy all your games again, if they’re even available on Steam (and also if they even work in Linux.) The only thing I think it could be be good for is as a budget gaming PC, but it’s wildly over-priced for that.

Not Valve’s fault of course, but yeah there’s no way for me personally.
