    I make enough money AND know the shit out of linux. I'm sure I can rent a linux VM that I can ssh/vnc into somewhere for less than that.

    This meme basically describes where I'm at. The streaming services I have access to never actually have anything I want to watch. I just want to pirate shit again. What is the best way to pirate shit as safely as possible. Do I just rent a linux server somewhere in another country and then...

    Battlefield 2042

    BC2 was definitely the best in the entire series. BF3 was good at first as well, but the vehicle maps were brutal. Metro was an insanely good map. They should just do a BC2 remastered, and then a BF2143 in a couple years, or even better, a Battlefield:Titanfall crossover.

    Obviously. They're very strong in cloud/subscription, have a solid hardware division now, and yet still get tons of revenue out of their legacy licensing models.

    So who here is using the LG CX 48 as an everyday monitor? Any issues with it so far? Did you mount it with that annoying base or did you mount it some other way?

    It wasn't the character, it was the weird camera angles at weird times, which were likely just a bug/bad coding in the first place... The hills people choose to die on are strange.

    It has more to do with the fact that any role within the whole broad class of "network engineer" is a complete misnomer. Most of the time you are not engineering anything, you are just trying to figure out why one piece of shit box from vendor A won't talk to some other piece of shit box from...

    You can have places where more than 20% is technically working hard, but because of bad processes and bad systems, it's all essentially wasted effort. Just because people are working hard doesn't mean they are working effectively. You can have say, a financial system that has lots of manual...

    MTG thread

    I really want to see how the modern foiling process looks on the old card borders before I even think about getting foils. But I will definitely want 4x non-foils of all the old border staple cards like Young Pyro, Elvish Mystic, Remand, Ponder, etc. Chalice looks so good too.

    In any organization, competence is the only currency. It is always the thing that is in much shorter supply than everything else. Frequently you will have tons of money, tons of people, tons of hours of the day to do shit... and no actually competent people to actually execute.

    Those look sooooooo good. I should buy a whole bunch of this set and put it away. The red staples like Young Pyro look fantastic in the old border, the old red border was by far the best, along with the old artifact border. Old white border and to some extent blue border are slightly hard to...
