There are several options but here's the short version:

You can extend your support for Windows 10 for an extra year while you go over your options long term, BUT it will require signing up for a Microsoft account even if you take the paid option.

PLEASE DO NOT RUN WINDOWS 10 UNSUPPORTED.

Listen, I hate to be a drag and I know a lot of good people work at Starforge systems, but even though he's no longer a public face of the company it's still his investment.

Buying Starforge computers puts money in Asmongold's pocket. It's really that simple.

Thinking about how N-Sync got cast in Attack of the Clones as Jedi and were removed due to the online reaction.

How much worse would that have been in today's weirdo youtube drama harvest environment?

Like what happens if JJ Abrams says "the Jonas Brothers are gonna pop up in Rise of Skywalker?"

I am pretty sure that neo-Nazis from Germany and white people from South Africa would not actually count as meeting our obligations under international treaties (1951 Refugee Convention/ 1967 Protocol), to take in actual refugees.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

The Steam Deck has been out for 3 years and nobody can best it.
More powerful handhelds are in 1 of 2 camps.

1. Actually more powerful and runs games slightly better but WAY more expensive.

2. More powerful on paper but either matches Steam Deck performance or even falls behind due to Windows.

My Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X review.

The top phrases running through my mind while testing it:

"Someone's getting fired for greenlighting this launch"

"This is not an Xbox"

"If this is the future of Xbox, Xbox is screwed."

Went with the middle.

Yeah, as one who watched a white HS classmate come to school in blackface and receive absolutely no discipline from school administration (this was in 2005), I have many thoughts about this whole "Racism wasn't as big a deal in the 00's" talk.

Jack Tripper @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 6h

I don’t know how to approach “Republicans weren’t racist in the early aughts” as someone who went to Texas during the early aughts and had to debate whether or not Black students were “stealing” people’s spots in class.

I said it the other day but yeah you got Tron, an extremely niche franchise that had a movie 40 years ago, a sequel 15 years ago that everyone hated at the time and has been abandoned ever since, and a canceled cartoon that actually did new shit people really liked

"Some at Disney were always concerned only die-hard fans would show up, which isn’t a Leto issue but an IP problem. They were right; 18- to 24-year-old males, the sweet spot, badly underindexed."

Since the announcement of Tron 3, I don't know who this movie is aimed at. Teens & young adults or...

“No One Asked for This Reboot”: ‘Tron’ May Mark End of Jared Leto’s Franchise-Leading Days

As 'Ares' disappoints, insiders question whether the self-styled boundary-pushing A-lister can still be counted on to carry a franchise vehicle to the bank.

I still think if they ever did perma-kill the Joker it should be done via a random citizen getting luck.

Think about it: The Clown Prince of Crime dies not to Batman finally breaking his code, but a random Joe just got a lucky pot shot. A perfect final joke

Rick Jones coined the term in Peter David’s Captain Marvel run.

Gwenpool: Hey, fellow fourth wall breaking lady! Break any fourth walls recently?
She-Hulk: Technically speaking it’s one of my superpowers. “Comics awareness.” get it, it’s a play on cosmic awareness. It’s the ability to process fundamental knowledge of workings of the universe and translate said knowledge in a way the human mind can comprehend without shattering.
Gwenpool: ooh, metaphysics-y.
She-Hulk: It’s mostly to make the science types happy. They get uncomfortable when things get too…”fun.”
