It’s not, and in a vacuum I don’t think anyone would mind. It is the fact that it is concealed that is really shitty.

“It reserves bandwidth for high-priority tasks such as Windows Update over other tasks that compete for internet bandwidth, like streaming a movie”

As much as I’d like to keep my system up to date (and I really do), if I’m watching a movie then that is my priority. Any task I’m currently using the bandwidth on, should be considered my system’s priority. This is akin to rebooting the computer when it determines it is necessary, with the user having little control to stop it; it’s intend isn’t malicious, and it is meant to protect the user, but all it achieves is upsetting the user and make us find ways around it or turn it off completely.

To whatever resembles hell the closest since she’s so inclined to mingle with daemons.

It’s like that with every competitive game.

You see other people playing it and think “wow, that’s cool. I wanna try it”, only to be welcomed by what you just described. Your success then depends on whether you have a hard skin to endure the bullshit, or if you’re social enough to have others play with you that won’t dismiss everything you do so easily. More often than not we don’t have the patience/ability for either.

If what you’re looking for it’s not a common find or just very rare, you can put it on your wishlist searches and you may eventually get a hit. You don’t need to leave the app open all the time (although that’d be ideal), you can just leave it on your wishlist and it’ll be searched automatically everytime you open it.

It’s cause PHP associates the if-then-else pair only with its immediate “else” option, not with the entirety of the line.

Let’s go by parts.

$a == 1 ? "one" : $a == 2 ? "two" : $a == 3 ? "three" : "other"

Is $a equal to 1? If so, we’re “set” to the value on the left, which is "one", if not then we’re set to the value on the right, which is $a == 2. $a is not equal to 1, so we’re set to the right value, $a == 2.

This replaces the relevant part, $a == 1 ? "one" : $a == 2, with $a == 2. So we’re left with:

$a == 2 ? "two" : $a == 3 ? "three" : "other"

Next, is $a equal to 2? If so, we’re set to "two", if not we’re set to $a == 3. The comparison is true, so we’re set to the value on the left, "two". The relevant part here is $a == 2 ? "two" : $a == 3 only, so it replaces it with "two" cause again, PHP is only associating with its immediate pair. So now we’re left with:

"two" ? "three" : "other"

Finally, is "two" truthy? If so, we’re set to "three", if not we’re set to "other". Since "two" is truthy we’re then left with "three".

It’s super confusing for sure.

both are dualboot with Windows for Gaming (nvdia gpu in both).

If you don’t mind the question, what games do you play? Have you tried gaming on Linux at all? Gaming works really REALLY good nowadays.
