    I have. I have already stated that I am planning on the next 10 years to be a very rich-get-richer, sideways economy with little disruption, so I'm comfortable with my portfolio being bloated to the top. The massive disruption of the past 15 years appears to be dead, due to lack of 'free...

    Yeah I'm stupid and didn't get the transfer done in time to buy another 10k. Oh well, I'm pretty sure the market will still be sucking on Monday I'm going to be buying 10k JEPI, 15K SPY, 15K OEF. Or maybe shift those numbers around a bit. And then I'll be purchasing >9k more JEPI for my ROTH...

    So 3x better than Cyberpunk released in? After Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky I'm totally okay just waiting for games to get good.

    Actually, she's not complaining about her job, specifically says she likes her job actually. She's complaining about the lack of available housing near her job that necessitates a 1.5 hour commute by train in each direction, which honestly seems pretty fair. I'll never commute more than 20...

    The article sucks anyway. But it's not paywalled for me. I do love the name of these companies though: "The Treasury sanctions last week included financial penalties on a digital currency exchange based in Gaza, Buy Cash Money and Money Transfer Company, which provided bitcoin and other...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Yeah, that's the same as the Dell one. I will always pick AW over ASUS given the same specs, Dell warranty support is solid and the build quality is usually a bit less clunky. ASUS branding is just... ugh. That reminds me, I need to dump my PG279QM.

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    The Samsung OLED G8 34" Ultrawide and the LG C3 42" are the only two high-end monitors I feel are worth getting right now. Alienware is coming out with a 4K QD-OLED 32" soon though. https://tftcentral.co.uk/news/dell-announce-new-alienware-27-1440p-360hz-and-32-4k-240hz-qd-oled-gaming-monitors...

    Right. It's even going the wrong way vs the Euro and the Euro sucks: Basically, the Yen is fucked and Big P doesn't know what he's talking about. The dollar is doing awesome, which is why you should be buying as much equities as possible even as the market continues to tank.

    Out of 3 XPG drives I've bought, 2 have been DOA. The one I have won't take a firmware update. The firmware updater for my 2 Sabrent drives doesn't work because that company is fucked too. I could hack a bunch of bullshit to make it work, but I'd rather just have something out of the box that...

    But it doesn't have to, that's what I'm saying. They both offer unique solutions. I'm a solution architect working for a company that's a platinum or gold partner for both. Google doesn't really have 'products.' They have APIs, and generic compute. It's hard to explain without getting in...

    Google really doesn't have a lot of 'productized' cloud offerings, which is likely why they're having trouble. MSFT and AMZN have amazing offerings and entire apparatus for helping companies uplift or refactor.

    AMZN earnings tomorrow... possibly a great opportunity for a trade, or a great opportunity for a blowout. As an AWS certified solutions architect working for a third party, my opinion is that things are looking good for cloud sales across their offerings... but who really fucking knows.

    I will never buy these shitty brands anymore. I've got 3 different drives in my PC right now where I can't update their firmware because these companies suck ass at software. It's not worth saving the 10 bucks.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I realize the joke you're trying to make, but I think you've got it backwards. Trying to force a Single Player game and a Massively Multiplayer-ish game to keep entirely consistent codebases seems unmaintainable.

    Somewhat irrelevant because the Persistent Universe Alpha is likely a whole separate fork from Squadron 42 at this point.

    If SQ42 ends up being half as good as Cyberpunk, it'll still be 10x better than Loadingfield.

    So 2 years until release, then 3 more years until it's actually good like what happened with Cyberpunk? Maybe by then, GPUs will exist that can run this at 40 fps.
