  • What do now?

  • The easiest way is probably if you're a software engineer or have some kind of bachelor's /master's / doctorate's degree. In that case you can head over right now and start looking for a job. You can stay for 3 months without a visa. Meanwhile you search for jobs related to your field. There are English speaking jobs here in software engineering.

    Or You could always spend those 3 months dating women and look for a spouse.

    These two are the cheapest options, but if you have a bachelor's or master's degree, you can also upgrade it to doctor's degree at a japanese university. If your grades were decent (they don't have to be excellent), you can apply for scholarships. You also have student loans. university is much cheaper than the ones in the US and should be fairly easy to pay off.

    The most expensive way is probably language school, but those are also cheaper than US universities.

  • By southern do you mean Kyushu and shikoku? I haven't been to Shikoku but it does look like a Paradise from when Degawa and other celebrities went there on TV.

    Kyushu is also pretty tropical, but more populated, and has more tourist attractions, thus more tourists.

    Both are beautiful. I haven't been all over, but Shikoku looks more tropical than Kyushu.

    Unfortunately they also are where most of the summer typhoons wreck havoc, landslides destroy the most property and bury the most people. Most of japan besides Kanto, Hokkaido and touhoku are pretty tropical so for example if you move to areas around Kanazawa you can get most of the Paradise with less natural disasters. If it is just for a visit, however, Kyushu is amazing. Kumamoto, Beppu, Fukuoka are beautiful in their own unique ways.

  • Baldur's Gate 3 exec praises Dragon Age: The Veilguard, calls it the "first Dragon Age game that truly knows what it wants to be"

  • Just guessing, but maybe a 6.4 / 10 customer score. More copies sold than Concord, but not enough to go net positive. It looks polished so I doubt it'll be overwhelmingly negative, but it just won't be that interesting to gamers so most will probably just not buy it.

    It'll probably be review bombed in both directions.

  • A lot people are liking it because the people who didn't during the early preview didn't receive their early access copies.

  • What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs

    Jump

  • Security updates means patches against exploits like spectre/meltdown, not antivirus updates. You'll still be getting antivirus updates on windows 10.

    Which means that until such an exploit has been discovered, windows 10 would be safer than windows 11 since windows 10 does have a countermeasure against spectre/meltdown while windows 11 doesn't. Windows 11 literally does not provide security updates to unsupported computers, and the exploits are already known.

  • Which Mouse / Keyboard is fully supported on Linux?

    Jump

  • Don't use proprietary software for something so simple as mouse and keyboard macros and variable DPI. Use Piper or something.

  • What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs

    Jump

  • You usually don't need proprietary software and drivers on Linux because of the great general purpose open source alternatives. Even on Windows, a ton of the drivers are actually useless and only bloat your system or perform invasive telemetry.

    Personally I don't even use the RGB features on my gaming PC, but OpenRGB is open source and lightweight. I would probably use it over proprietary RGB profiles even on Windows. You should give it a try.

    GPU fan control is already available by default in most Linux distributions and should require no additional drivers.

    AMD always have Linux drivers. The Linux adrenaline driver is here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/linux-drivers.html

    SSD/NVME firmware updates should also already be supported by default in linux. With for example fwupdmgr.

    High refresh rate displays should also work out the box on the modern distributions. On Linux Mint and Ubuntu they have a GUI for it, but changing resolution and refresh rate with Xrandr also only takes one or two terminal commands. There likely is software to do it, but if anything I could write you a script that does it if your distribution doesn't already have GUI for it. I had to write a script to adjust some of my monitors' drawing area because I mirror, but my displays don't have the same aspect ratio.

  • Try BriscCAD. It is very similar to AutoCAD and supports their files.

    Revit seems to work fine with Wine, and although wineHQ reports Tekla performance as garbage, that was a very long time ago. It probably works better now.

  • If you'd rather risk becoming a botnet node than to even consider using alternative software then you are absolutely using it wrong.

    If your computer doesn't support win11, then switching to Linux before win10 ends is the only right choice. The other less right choices are:

    Stay on win10, Upgrade to win11 and disconnect it from the network and the internet permanently.

    The worst choice is do what OP did.

  • Except most big open source project are developed by companies, and only the tiny ones aren't. This applies to all open source projects on all platforms.

    Also, most of them already are better. People just don't want to change their layouts and workflows. And people also don't value privacy, which if they would, they wouldn't rate the proprietary software as half as good.

  • I didn't say all applications work. I said use better ones.

    As for hardware, less computers support win11 than Linux. You can run Linux on 40 year old computers, and on brand new computers.

    Ans this article is literally about bypassing the restrictions that were put in place to protect users with CPUs that have the specte and meltdown vulnerabilities. You're safer on win10 even after they stop supporting it than win11.

  • What are they called? What do you need for Linux that only works on Windows or Mac right now?

  • What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs

  • Who needs Windows? You need to use better applications. And if work requires Windows, this article still doesn't apply because it is the company's responsibility, not yours, and running on an unsupported machine is a security risk.

  • YSK about Darkpatterns.games, a website that rates mobile games on their "Dark patterns"

    Jump

  • I'm sorry, I'd share some links, but I make too many shitposts and unhinged takes on this account to want to link to my projects and thus my real name.

    But I would argue that most at least somewhat successful indie games (at least on PC) have very few dark patterns.

  • YSK about Darkpatterns.games, a website that rates mobile games on their "Dark patterns"

    Jump

  • Back in uni, most of these dark patterns were taught as "game design fundamentals".

    Now as I work on my indie games, I avoid using what I learned in uni.

    Game design all boils down to "is it fun?" and anything else is bullshit sales tactics.

    I wish the site also focused on real games, and not just mobile games.
