Convenience is why. And I don’t think it’s very difficult to see that. It’s not some mystery even though some people continue to pretend it is.

There’s been some loud folks over the years but generally no one cares. 450+ million AirPods have been sold and the experience is arguably MUCH better than wired headphones.

Xone is a kernel level driver and works with newer Xbox controllers. It’s worked flawlessly for years. All I had to do was make sure the controller’s firmware was updated once. The firmware update improves Bluetooth, but if you use a Microsoft dongle, it’s always worked without the firmware update.

So with a 10 min firmware update effort 2 years ago, my gaming rig supports all the controllers you brought up (for some reason?), plus modern ones.

Why is it always that same photo?

I’ve never encountered this. Oh well.

I had the opposite. Mlem always felt “in progress” and voyager was like walking into a polished experience. Voyager was the app respecting “read” posts.

Some of my most intense, fun and vivid memories are seeing live music with friends/ family.

I know it’s not as cheap or accessible as it used to be and that adds to the frustration. But If music is something you’re passionate about, I would highly recommend doing it while the bands you like are still around and you are still able.

If you generally don’t like concerts then you do you and that’s fair.

Speak for yourself.

I believe that’s what everyone was doing, but it seemed to upset some people for some reason.

I don’t need pubic hair in my face. I’ll start from the top and work down. Not sure why people are so compelled to argue.

If you feel the need to floss your ass then hit your face, by all means you do you.

who else can I ask?

Everyone has already answered that for you. You ask another doctor. Take care.

Not sure why so many people are proud to have beaten their gut into submission with years of abuse.

You don’t need to ask strangers on the internet about your health. The only thing you need to do is learn how to get a second opinion from another doctor.

But we aren’t talking about “people”, we are specifically talking about Trump. Trump didn’t “evolve”, he’s a swindler who will say whatever to whoever when it benefits him.

So let’s not take normal people finding out more info on a topic and pretend like that has anything to do with nonsense he happened to say one day or another.

Texas reeks of freedom.

Of course it’s an additional step. But it will download faster. Which was what you asked for, specifically in your post above.

If you write directly to your HDD it will take longer to download. If you write to your ( faster?) SSD the download will be faster but yeah, processing has another step of copying.

I’m sorry, but I have no idea what you’re asking.

Best of luck.

Yes, if the temporary directory where the files are being downloaded (incomplete folder) is on the SSD, then it will be faster, especially if you’ve identified a cheap HDD as your bottleneck.

Unless you are incorrect about the HDD being the bottleneck.

Yes. It’s part of the application and well documented. What did you try and not work?

It would be highly uncharacteristic of Microsoft not to try competing with the Valve.

They had years of opportunity to provide better gaming hardware and software for their customers, but they didn’t. Now that the SteamDeck has gained popularity, they’ve realized the need refresh the lXbox”, likely with an emphasis on Gaming as a Service (Game Pass) and a strong push into streaming games. What they’ve been doing which is basically anything to get people to subscribe.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they released new features or hardware requirements that hinder the SteamDeck’s ability to play newer Microsoft game releases. It wouldn’t be too difficult for them, considering they’ve purchased a significant portion of the gaming market. One thing is certain—there will be zero innovation.

It argues that Biden enriched himself through his family’s business ventures and concealed his mishandling of classified information in office

Hmm. That sounds familiar. I could swear it was a different family.

So then what’s wrong with your setup? I see zero adds.
