I lived in Japan when streaming was becoming a thing. Everything was region blocked, and DVDs were (and still are) horrendously overpriced for what you get.
wow. Imagine burning out your expensive GPU for a fortnite skin.
Left that unchecked, I’ve got 16gb ram so I don’t think that was the issue
This is true of the consumer market, but the OP asked about governments, and 90% of government computers in China run Kylin or NeoKylin, with plans to consolidate the two into a single os. This follows the overall trend of China’s tech sector seeking to replace imports (and copied versions of foreign tech) with fully domestic alternatives.
Unfortunately the more I read the less this seems like a long overdue accounting of the video game industry’s hubris and the more it seems like someone with looking for someone to blame for their failson. These companies have literally hired psychologists to come up with ways to more effectively manipulate their players into buying their digital bullshit, and surprise surprise many of the things those psychologists have come up with are basically unregulated gambling.
I wonder if this is a false flag?
I love it when good studios do new things
It might be discussion of piracy/VPNs or something like that. China’s got rules about that stuff too AFAIK. Maybe if one of the admins can read/write Simplified Chinese they could reach out to the relevant government bureau and request clarification.
Well yeah I guess if you’re buying a used machine from six years ago with millions in existence because tons of businesses bought them it’ll be cheap no matter what manufacturer it’s from. Thinkpads do hold up better against age than most.

On a Thinkpad!? Unless you’re buying a last-generation one that’s on clearance, that’s a laugh.
Joining the by far largest instance beats the entire purpose.
There’s kind of a tension here between Lemmy’s design and what makes most people join social media websites. Most people want the biggest, most centralized website.
Both the Americans and the Soviets went to a jet turbine on their MBT at around the same time, but the Russians decided it wasn’t worth it with the next generation and went back to diesel.
It offers a lot of power in a smaller and lighter package than an equivalent diesel engine, but it tells you something about how much of an advantage that really winds up being when the later Abramses all added batteries to shore up the biggest weakness of the turbine engine (large fuel consumption at idle) and the Russians went back to diesel engines with the T-90.
The Red Army stopped the Holocaust and saved the world from fascism while the western powers were playing with their dicks in Africa. They only invaded France after it became clear that Soviet victory was inevitable in order to prevent Western Europe from being liberated from capitalism.
That sucks. I’ve found that 90% of stuff works fine in Linux, 5% works if you jury rig it enough, and 5% just straight up doesn’t work - and if that last 5% is needed for your job, then you’re SOL. For me the few things that don’t work are worth giving up because of how much I hate Windows’ spyware and adware, and all my work apps work fine in a browser window so I’ve never had to worry about that.
I thought you had posted an article that was weirdly spinning the story about the UK monarch to be an anti-China hit piece until I got to

Took me till about halfway to get it, nice.
