  • You don’t need to update NVIDIA drivers every time there’s a release. I don’t even do that on my Windows machine. Most driver updates are just tweaks for the latest game, not bug fixes or performance improvements.

    And hell, you’re using Linux. Vim updates more often than the graphics driver, what do you expect?





  • Or maybe most people that sit in front of a monitor all day are working and can benefit from a sharper image and more real estate. I work in tech and end up needing a lot of windows and terminals on the screen at once - upgrading from 1080p to 1440p was a game changer for productivity.








  • Rich get richer. Had some recent inheritance roll to an IRA, looking at mutual funds to put it into until I’m required to withdraw it. There are ones tracking at 30-45% returns month after month while the economy is in the shitter. Want in? Minimum purchase amount for those funds is $100,000-250,000. The funds normal people can afford pull down more like 15% RoR on aggressive investments, which are super volatile.

    You have to be wealthy to get wealthy. 99% of us are getting fucked by the 0.1% - the 1% just happen to have enough money to get into the lower levels of the game, but the 0.1% have investment options we’ll never be party to.

    It’s amazing how many people will simp for these billionaires like Musk, and claim they’re “in the game” with their investments and net worth. They’re not. If your net worth is less than mid eight figures, you’re not in the game, you’re a rounding error.

    Using “also” in your statement makes it an addendum, not agreement. Your phrasing implies the original comment was incomplete, which is not typically how you would phrase it if you were agreeing with a statement the commenter made. Your comment came off more like “or you could just do this!”
