I wonder what they think of as high-end GPUs, though. I've been using a GTX 1060 to run my games for around two or three years and am mostly happy with performance vs quality. Would a GTX 1060 today be out of AMD's scope already or are we talking rivaling Nvidia's 40xx series today?

Edit: If the video answers that, I apologise. I'm at work and can't watch it immediately

A pretty good change for how I use Family Sharing. The only detriments seem to be the issue of the game owner being banned for violations of other family members and the 1 year cooldown between leaving and joining a family. Both should be manageable issues, though, if you're at the point of trusting someone enough to log into their machine with your credentials.

Thank you for that link, it's actually pretty interesting and cool! Would've never assumed that the difference between wired and wireless can be THAT insignificant while there's also such a big difference between brands within the same category.

Oh hey, can you try to explain why you want to do that? I'm always confused by it because unless you mean to end on a dramatic pause, these are just regular sentences and those usually end on a period (or nothing/smiley, if you're an internet person

I also answer all calls I get and (usually) call back if they missed me. I actively gave my number to one or two research groups for polls. They call maybe twice per year, so it's alright.

As for scammers, maybe 10% of calls are of that sort and so far I enjoy messing with them when they call.

If you have birds in your area, try finding and identifying them (for example by using Merlin Bird ID).

Can confirm, StreetComplete is very fun to enhance your general existence in / awareness of a place.

From reading this thread so far, there seem to be good arguments for mandatory voting in a similar fashion and infrastructure as it currently is set up in Australia.

I still think compulsory voting isn't the best way, though. Instead, the focus should be on getting people interested in politics in the first place. With the big three or four parties in my country, I (and many others my age) feel like voting for them is useless, even if you agree with their campaign promises, because at most 5% of those promises will even be partly realised. Holding politicians accountable and punishing them appropriately for acting very far from their campaign promises should be established, otherwise the mental consensus will stay "Why vote for anyone, if they just do something entirely different anyway?"

Oh, okay, I would like to apologise then for my harsh comment. I do agree that the longer I am with my gf and my women friends in general, the more I learn how fucked up life can be for women and that (sometimes) being unable to exist for a couple days every month is already on the lighter end of it because that's at least something you can "just suck up".

I hope you're right. It would finally be something very different and that's necessary, I think.

Fair points you're making there!

I guess it never bothered me enough to have even crossed my mind.

I need to look into the latency thing. From my limited knowledge it makes no sense that a wireless mouse could have better latency than a wired one. Unless the wire is made of something barely conductive to electricity and the wireless works with stupidly fast transmission tech, I guess o.o

Correct, because I don't know. And since I want to convey "I don't know for sure, but I did try to use my brain before asking a question" I make assumptions based on the sum of experiences and knowledge I accumulated in my life so far.
