Printers should probably be connected by USB for security reasons anyway.

Printers these days tend to be driverless, so that's pretty much a solved problem.

And back at that time if you installed any flavor of Linux you were lucky if the OS install didn’t fuck itself over

I was using Linux religiously back then, and this is false. As long as there's a driver for all of your hardware, it generally worked fine.

But that “as long as” is doing some heavy lifting. The usual suspects were pretty much the same as now: Broadcom, NeoMagic, and NVIDIA. Some cheap printers and modems were problematic as well, but if you paid for good hardware, it would probably work.

The wireless kind, presumably. Those always need their own firmware and therefore their own driver.

I'm an adult with a job, and I don't have a snowball's chance in hell of affording the recommended system requirements for this game any time soon. RX6800XTs do not grow on trees.

Since when did Bethesda have QA?

If you can't afford Starfield, how can you afford a computer capable of running it?

Now imagine how fast they'd be without Denuvo.

Steam system requirements say RX5700 minimum. Recommended is RX6800XT, which was ludicrously expensive last I checked. Also I need a much newer CPU.

In this economy, that's gonna be a no from me.

Who the hell are they expecting is going to play this game? Only trust fund kids?

What's the issue with Liberapay? I've never used it.

Even if it’s utterly pointless I prefer the anonymity

Cryptocurrency proponents are quick to remind me that cryptocurrency transactions are not anonymous, and are in fact highly traceable by virtue of being stored in a public ledger.

and some sites default to reoccurring donations and emails when using a card

Meaning, they try to mislead you into donating more than you intend to? Doesn't that make them crooks, unworthy of your donations?
