They also need to not run unopposed.... or it won't matter.

You'll own nothing and like it!

He has, and as far as I know he hasn't been held accountable, so I guess this guy's fine, right?

1. This is probably just a marketing stunt
2. If I was a corporation, I would run screaming to the hills away from something that has so shitty security and containment protocols that it "accidentally hacked a competitor" How could you ever trust OpenAI with any company data?

Sounds like the "Gawd Damn Lochness Monster!"

Technically "layoffs" are different from "firing".

Layoffs are typically high in number, wider reaching, reductions in force just to cut numbers.

Firings are targeted and generally (though they don't have to be) with cause and have a procedure (performance reviews, improvement plans, warnings, etc.)

Not to say you can't target a layoff to include all your lower performers, more to say that you can still fire someone outside of a layoff.

That's what I thought was happening here. The headline is a bit incorrect... the monitor didn't install the bloatware, Windows did.

Now the drivers/software that Windows installed is likely from the MS store/update path and was made and signed by LG, but still. Plug this monitor into linux and it's not going to do it because linux doesn't have that mechanism.

As someone who daily drives Linux since '96, I can say that while it's a much better OS and way less enshitified, driver issues, hardware issues, compatibility issues, and everything else above is just part of PC gaming as a whole. The problems I've had to fight with over the years most people would have given up and installed windows.

Console gaming is definitely way less problematic and when problems do arise, much simpler to troubleshoot.

You can sell your old PS* discs. There's a few used stores around here. That said, you probably won't get tons for them, but it's worth a look, I try to buy used games if the new ones hold their value too long.

When I got my PS5, I picked up like 5 PS4 titles I always wanted but went from 3 to 5. Got 5 pretty popular triple A games for like $30-40 at the time when it would have been like $100+ for them all new.

I don't want to make digital seem better, but for this argument it is... you don't even need the disc, you just turn on the console and select the game. All from the comfort of your sofa. Hell, you don't even need to go to a store or wait for a delivery in the first place, all those bytes just come to you.

I think something to realize here is that A.) The above is why the majority of people just use digital at this point, and B.) Inserting a brand new game disc into your console still requires downloads, installing and often being online to do so anyway. Modern games rarely even fit on one disc, so the disc is less useful that it was in the XBox OG and PS1 days. It's more like what Nintendo is doing with the Game Key Carts.
