Pro-China/Russia/NK trolls who are only capable of black and white thinking, and bad faith arguments. "Oh look, here is one single, specific subject in which the USA has done a bad job, while China has done a good job. See western liberals, China is a superior nation."
They completely ignore that any country is capable of doing good things, and bad things, despite how evil said country may or may not be.
They have a copy paste playbook they share with each other, with replies such as "you're wrong because western propaganda."
Better to not waste time, block them, and never look back.
I fucking LOVE my Unraid server, but I've had it for many years and they've since changed their pricing. A very, very solid WebUI.
I paid like $40 just once for it, and it looks like it's $250 now. Honestly I'd just pay the $50/yr, it has been immensely helpful to get me started as my first homelab.
And btw I use Arch for my desktop whenever I use Linux.
I helped a friend build a server to use Unraid for his new house, and to get him started with Home Assistant and the arr stack. He's always been fairly good with computers, but had 0 Linux experience. After about 6 months he became self efficient and no longer needed to ask for help.
Edit: my original new price was unique to me to upgrade my grandfather license.
Wait, is Smokey The Bear the inspiration for when Randy from Trailer Park Boys goes back to "working the streets" for cheese burgers and goes by Smokey? From the waist down it's his outfit, and his hairy body could be the bear fur? And his hat is very similar.
This got me thinking back on reading the book earlier this year. Mr. Arnold really was the super star of the entire operation. Nedry might have been mostly qualified but heavily overworked, and underpaid of his own fault, but everyone would have died and much much sooner if not for Arnold. That man knew all the ins and outs of the entire park, enough to even debug and fix Nedrys code.
But was also an alcoholic, and shows how poorly Hammond did in cheaping out and not hiring the best outside of the scientist and their facilities.
To be fair to Muldoon though, he was probably the only wild life expert with about as relevant experience as one could have, and balls big enough to take on the challenge of carnivorous dinosaurs. He did about as good as anyone could have hoped for against the raptors in the book.
To be fair, Crytek said it wasn't unoptimized, but graphically over tuned on purpose, so that even years after release new hardware could finally play the game to its full potential and keep it a relevant graphical benchmark. That on launch only a fraction of gaming PCs would come even close to playing it on max settings with high fps was intended.
If that was a stupid idea in hind sight is another matter 👀.
I looked up some videos from YouTube sleuths on why so many UE5 games suck. For any studio previously using UE3 or 4, they had to relearn/recreate nearly their entire workflow again. 5 very much changed damn near everything. But also that 5 has all this tech that everyone assumes works in all scenarios and is a miracle, when in reality it's still software tech and has very real limitations and best use cases that studios ignore. Larger studios "should" be able to trial and error while burning through $ to figure it out, but usually management doesn't give them enough time. Smaller studios can't afford to have many many months of downtime learning to re-adapt everything. It's just so damn complex that very few have had time and $ to just trial and error figure out its limitations and to work within them.
It SHOULD get better and better as time goes on, though. The tech pieces in 5 keep getting improvements, and theoretically people should eventually start to adapt to it correctly, and the knowledge should spread as devs move to different studios for new work.
Hmmmm, I'm probably misremembering the size now that you mention it. I'm also practically incapable of remembering when something was, but it would have been around the late 2000s - early 2010s. I do remember it held Windows plus 1-2 games, and I juggled around the games I played most from SSD to HDD and back.
