Brother learned the word "slop" and then used it everywhere.

Netflix, disney+, google, dropbox, all of it started the same way. Cheap, easy, convenient. You didn't even think twice before signing up

Then the price hikes started and by that point you're too deep in the ecosystem to just leave. Apple just raised icloud prices again. Your photos are on Google photos. Your shows are split across four different apps. Your files are locked in Dropbox. That's the whole business model. Get you comfortable, get you dependent, then start squeezing

selfhosting is the way out. Buy the hardware once, set it up, and it's yours. No subscription, no random price hike email in your inbox every January, no 40 page terms of service written to protect them and not you. Just your movies, music, photos and backups sitting in a NAS box that answers to nobody but you. Not gonna get into setup here but Arr Suite, Jellyfin and Ente Photos (selfhosted) can replace most of what you're currently paying for. Look into them

Everything is a subscription now. So the question is can you keep paying forever? or is it time to actually own your stuff again

EDIT: Fix in comments

> Game launches on driver 8860

> Updated to driver 8861 (Intel added Black Flag support)

> Opens game

> Greeted with a DX12 Error window and refuses to launch

Amazing driver support.

I'm tired boss. That Forza Horizon 6 reflection bug is still not fixed over a month now.

I recently finished 007 First Light, and the only moment that left me puzzled was when Damien was able to use the watch without any restrictions. If MI6 can successfully implement a biometric lock on guns, why not on an essentially Swiss Army knife?

Took a whole year degoogling myself but it’s done

Are others experiencing floating wheels, missing reflections (SSR and RT), and flickering lights? I haven't reported these issues on the Intel website yet, but I plan to. I'm on the latest driver as of writing (8801)
