I feel that. I switched from a GTX era GPU to a 7800XT as well recently. It’s night and day how many generic glitches and program limitations I don’t have to deal with anymore.

Everyday there are more things that fail to separate Windows from its past versions in functionality, but detriment the usability of all the versions to come. Microsoft is changing arbitrary things like this (let’s face it, there aren’t many people truly effected by not having WordPad) just for the sake of changing, not for any foreseeable benefit.

As a LibreOffice, OpenOffice, MS Office 2000, and unfortunately Google Suite user, I’ve seen that there are many effective replacements, so I don’t see this impacting anyone too severely. It’s just stupid.

This is a cool technology, making the assumption that it’s real, but due to cost and scaling limitations, I doubt we’ll see it outside of specialized use cases any time soon. For expensive use cases that have unique cases for it, it might prove interesting.

This seems like a really awesome project.

I’m 99% sure everything for me can be traced back to Blinx: The Time Sweeper, an old Xbox exclusive with anthro cats and pigs. Really awesome game, and to this day, I think it was a gem of mechanics and dynamics that it’s a pity never became something more. That would’ve started in around '06. I was 3-4.

I didn’t know the concept of furry until '16 or so, when I would’ve been 13-14. I had a fascination with fur and animal stuff, and a younger friend (he was like 12) said something like “Oh, so you’re a furry?” A few googles later…I was like GOD NO. Came back by early-2017, with a more careful Google and an open mind, and yeah, I was. Joined a furry forum in mid-2017, and the rest is history. Seen a lot of stuff in my time here, but unfortunately, I arrived too late to see a lot of the furry community that used to exist in my local area. Just a few years too young to have caught RCFM.
