Not even. We're getting a big fucking netflix server farm here in NJ and it's simply being subsidized by everyone else paying a shitload extra on their bills instead.
Right. The far bigger problem is how trash of an engine Unreal5 is, and all the forced processing making things look and run like shit. But that's not just a Clair Obsur problem.
You already said STEM. Some universities I've worked with include psych in the STEM department. It is a science. Fuck saying "hard sciences" like some kind of tiered distinction.
And, to my previous point... every psych PhD I've come across has been paid for. Hell, my advisor even had the balls to say "if you're paying for a PhD, you're doing it wrong," when someone asked about funding during the interview.
It depends on the field, program of study, and institution. Some places want masters degrees coming in. Others, a bachelor's or postbacc, so they can do a combined "full tour" masters-through-PhD and they get to shape students as-is.
Maybe it's just my field, but every PhD program I've seen, applied to, attended, sent students to, etc... was basically paid for, outright. Mostly it's a matter of moving, which is a gigantic bitch.
Yeah, that's the other fucked thing about all this. None of this damage or surveillance will be rolled back by anyone else. It's in place, guess we'll continue to use it.
It's already driven multiple people to panic attacks, one woman to committing herself out of fear of a psychotic break, and several people to suicide and at least one murder.
Chocolatey was like... Ctrl C, Ctrl V a couple times, and grabbing ChocoGUI. Ezpz
