A MacBook costs $1000 in my country for the base model and iPad costs $300 for the base A16 model. For someone who does only digital art , graphic design or watching conten, a $300 iPad is more than enough.
A touchscreen MacBook would bump the base price of it to more than $1300
I tend to finish games a lot quicker than their average howlongtobeat times
Spiderman 1 took me 2-ish weeks to platinum. Miles Morales platinum took just 3 days. That was during a vacation and I clocked in 6-8 hours of gaming in a day for miles morales. Main game is like 6 hours + a few hours for the extras and NG+ makes the game a lot easier + I played on friendly neighbourhood. It's pretty doable.
an hour everyday and 3 hours during a weekend is usually enough provided that you dont play multiplayer games at all. Even 30 mins a day is usually enough to finish a lot of games but im not that consistent these days. You can notice the gap between skyrim and red dead (ignore minecraft and fo76)
I don't feel like playing a lot too which is why you see a lot of gap between skyrim and rdr1. I have a lot of games installed rn but nothing gets finished. I only have one single player game at a time but been playing minecraft a lot with friends these days so thats where my time was going towards
Yeah. Some games were dropped forever but some games were dropped because I lost interest in them but still wish to play them as I paid for them
People are too ignorant to care about spyware and privacy. Can't do much about that.
Always go for AMD. They have the best driver support for Linux
Debian is a stable operating system and as user friendly as mint once you get past the installation.
Mint also uses a Ubuntu base but Debian has better quality of packages and is less likely to break.
LMDE is also a good option in this case
Yeah I find GPL to be ironically non-free because it removes the right for anybody to use the code as they see fit, basically adding a restriction on the developer.
I find it absurd when people force me to use GPL for my research work and they aren't even in the field to know that adding restrictions on something thats good for the scientific benefit is foolish. RMS isn't funding research or building any kind of quantum computer, it's the big corporations that do that. This is just involving politics in science.
Forcing GPL for research is foolish because nobody would be interested in implementing your work. After all, it's those big corporations that have enough funding to take up on bigger ideas and research.
GPL is fine for basic software for consumers and I'd argue it should be used more but for research, its just a bad license.
