I have so many old games and programs on my win10 PC that the amount of effort it would take to get everything back to the way it was, would almost argue for just getting a New PC and not bothering with the migration.

I know that its not based in science… but I just dont trust windows OS migration. I did it once from Vista to 7, and something messed up, and had to reformat the entire drive and fresh install, losing everything.

as for getting a new PC , hardware wise, it will cost me several thousand and will probably only be a fraction of an increase of the system I have right now. its just not worth it.

so all in all, I think Im going to just play danger zone, and ride Win10 into the digital apocalypse for a while.

Damn it. Ivan, with the cigarette, in the ammo dump AGAIN?

the market will be taken over by cheaper, less “luxury” alternatives.

Its looking more and more like the end result is just going to be millions of Americans will have to do without, Live with less.

and no doubt at the same time their oligarch fantasy-wealthy overlords will preach to them about Spartan values or something. Ultranationalist Jingo Ghouls will talk about how its tough times create strong men, or about how we all have to prepare for war with China or something.

When I imagine a future with AI ruining the world, I always thought it was going to be some Skynet/CABAL/HAL9000 type of thing

Not this sad, boring, depressing type shit

Vigilantism is on the rise regardless, Either because the police are incompetent / carefree about the complaints. or because individuals are overzealous, dont undrestand or agree with the law, and decide to cosplay as the punisher.

The New World Conservatives or whatever the F you want to call this wave of MAGA and associated people, all look to Russia as the role model.

They aren’t conservatives, they’re fascists and gangsters who hijacked conservatism as a vehicle for unlimited power.

Corpos own the regulatory bodies.
Russian Mafia owns the white house.
