It’s funny how that goes: elements that react violently often form strong bonds, so make stable and safe compounds.

It was life changing when I realised uBlock Origin can block whatever I want from web pages and not just ads.
All the links at the right of an article, headers and menus that want to continue occupying screen space after I’ve scrolled down, the entire comments section on some pages. Bam, gone.
Pages with cookie banners that don’t have a one-click reject all button? Just block the banner.

The cassette player just reads the magnetic field and doesn’t know any difference.

Mine got upgraded to a full meg.
If you have an 8GB GPU that’s a few years old, it’s probably doing okay-ish. It probably doesn’t have the performance to really suffer from VRAM limits and you don’t game with things like raytracing or ultra detail settings turned on because the GPU isn’t fast enough for those things anyway.
My Vega 64 had 8GB VRAM and that was fine.
If you buy one of the new GPUs with 8GB though, the VRAM is a huge problem. You have the GPU power to have all the features turned on, but you’re going to see real performance crippled because it overflows VRAM.
Longevity is the other issue - when games released in 2025 run like ass on your 8GB GPU from 2017, you won’t be surprised. Bad performance from an 8GB GPU that released in 2025 for $500, that’s a problem.
I’m seeing games today regularly hitting 11 GB, and that’s without raytracing or frame generation which require more VRAM.
The new 8GB GPU Nvidia just launched is a trap. It exists to trick people into buying a GPU that they’ll need to upgrade next year.

This. Your mail isn’t going to be opened by the CEO. Hurt the business, not the worker. Mail them a box of rocks or something, the company will pay postage on it and the minimum wage guy opening packages will laugh.

The problem with getting rid of everyone who tells you things you don’t want to hear is that bad things still happen to you but now they always come as a surprise.
