DOOOOOM!
Unless you are working on some massive project, 5 year old hardware and local storage is totally servicable. My server is from 2016, my NAS is from 2009. No one is putting a gun to your head and making you use Onshape, Makerworld, or Adobe.
The Epic store sucks ass, the EA store sucks ass, Nintendo hates it’s fans more than Trump hates women.
As a counter example, Mincraft is a stand alone game, it came out long after Steam was established and it runs on Linux as well at it does on Windows.
If independent games came with a launcher/update experience as good as Minecraft I would have no problem buying outside of the Steam ecosystem.
To be 100% un-trackable you need to put your phone in airplane mode or turn it off entirely.
His hobby is yachts, which tells you how well Steam is doing for him.
You can track phones by their bluetooth mac even if you dont connect to anything.
Memetovirus.
I can not think of anything worse than MS publishing the source to Windows.
I almost wish California had stuck to their guns and the tech industry had pulled the plug on the whole state. Making an exception is not as good of a teacher for your neighbours as burning your own house down.
Chinese law mandates that businesses do intelligence gathering and that all encryption has a backdoor. So the question you should be asking is do you want to support a government that openly slaughters those who oppose it and use slavery to lower labour prices, or do you want to support China?
Cheap ram isn’t cheap if you have to buy it twice.
I would call working into your 70s “involuntary suicide.”
Billionaires today will be long dead before it becomes a problem.

Void is a full featured desktop OS, it can run a browser, play games, watch videos, and run an office suite. All of those applications have their own hardware requirements but the OS is just the layer between the things you want to do and the hardware you are using. It should be as light as possible and Void shows that it is possible to be very light.
Like Torvalds, Stallman and Wozniak, Gabe Newell had an idea of how he thought technology should work and has never let up on it, it’s a shame they couldn’t profit as much as Gabe.
The yacht hobby is a bit much but compared to the standard billionaire hobbies, destroying the planet, rape, and murder, he’s pretty mild.
NAS has 1800MB, runs Debian, uses 200MB.
Netbook has 1800MB, runs Void, uses 90% when browsing.
Desktop has 32GB, runs Debian, uses 2-3GB while browsing, 8-10GB while gaming, 32GB while doing image/videoework.
Since the NT kernel.
Yeah, they are thinking of 2000s xbox live chat. It’s been a while since then.
