Edit: I know, I shouldn't give a shit. But writing a fairly long comment to share my knowledge on this only to see it immediately downvoted without any explanation kind of sucks. So I'm removing this comment and will not interact here anymore.

The problem was solved by Nvidia, then AMD made it cheap and accessible and not requiring a dedicated hardware module.

For years and years Nvidia increased artificially by up to 150 euros many Gsync screens and for no legitimate reason. Initially there was NO compatibility with free sync at all.

Nvidia wasn't kindly solving a gamers problem at least to after the first year of release of that tech. They were forcibly selling expensive hardware modules nobody needed or wanted. And long after freesync showed you could do it just as well without this expensive requirements.

This hardware module they insisted on selling wasn't solving a technical problem but a money one.

I don't even think anyone was ever able to differentiate between the different qualities of "sync techs".

Also if you put "sensitive" information in your history by mistake you can use "history -d <line#>" to remove it.

Unfortunately I had to use this command too many times.

Trump chooses a topic, lies constantly about it and let people get tired fact checking. Would crowd size be on the news without Trump activating that subject?

I thought it was pretty clear China is an ally of Putin..

Didn't Russia and China do a military exercise together very recently? Chineses bombers were photographed with a Russian jet escort. And it was pretty clear Russia and China wanted to be seen together.

They do deliver embargoed parts to Russia as you said and are training with Russia and not NATO countries.

China is an ally of Russia...

But discrediting someone's opinion by just posting this meme is NOT toxic ?

So it's toxic to assume someone might be a Russian bot but it is not toxic to disregard the opinion of everybody that said that ? You know there are bots online. Maybe not much here but there was definitely many on Reddit. So bots are real but someone that points out a bot must be wrong.

This is weird.

So yeah, it appears we shouldn't trust what Putin says publicly.

Obviously, he could say he prefers Biden and then pull every trolling ressources available to make Trump wins.

This statement from Putin doesn't have any value whatsoever.

He would say openly the opposite it would still be extremely unreliable information.

So basically:

Russian bots do exist but they are "not that bad". Also if someone from Russia they are not necessarily a bot because they have a different opinion...

That's all fine to have that position but who are you to tell other people if they encountered a bot or a real human being ?

Do you have any idea how prevalent Russian bots are ? What are their latest strategy?

I cannot answer these questions and you shouldn't either.

The people you are bashing for pointing at "Russian bots" could be completely right. Their perception of internet is not the same as yours.

If anything it's good that people are suspicious of any Russian information on the internet. It's much better in my opinion than your alternative which seems to be built on contempt for people falling for bots and a very prominent ego yourself for thinking nobody ever got you.

There would be no reason to adhere to complicated EU rules everywhere else globally.

But there are a ton of websites that do adhere to complicated GDPR rules even though they serve 99.99% US based clients.

I think this has nothing to do with EU and it's just some far fetched bullshit excuse from Microsoft.

Do not forget that accessing stuff on Google can probably get you to prison.

When you see something illegal on Google that should have never been published publicly you need to immediately avert your eyes and plug your ears. 🙉
