Fair, but the title for the PC Gamer title sounds like the writer is taking it seriously, and they've had enough braindead takes they they don't get the benefit of the doubt from me anymore. I refuse to even click on the article.

Personally, I'm not a fan of Deck Mate, but I don't have a beef with the designer. My issue is with PC Gamer magazine

Just for anyone randomly stumbling upon this thread: make sure to throroughly check the picture of a listing. Look for LSI cards specifically. They have been purchased by 2-3 other companies, but you absolutrly need to do your research to make sure the manufacturer badge on the card is one of those companies. Don't just trust the title of the listing

On your point about SAS cards, some sellers will post "IT Mode" in their product listing even if the card can never be flashed to IT mode. I know because it happened to me

Keep in mind that there's 2 new justices that were instated by Trump during his first term and 4+ years have passed

Eh, there's Horseshoe Theory at play there. While some people rail against the idea, I think they're forgetting that political stances should mostly be modeled along 3 axes, not just the one. It's just that the 'average' range of political stances tend to follow a horseshoe-shaped pattern within those 3 dimensions

seeing someone's karma count seems to sway people's opinions before even reading what that person says

Wait, people actually look that up on individual profiles? I only check that when someone has an extremely shit troll-level comment or is 'karma whoring' particularly egregiously.

feel like the lack of karma adds in to the civility,

I largely agree, but my stance is that it removes the point of 'karma whoring', since that really only exists on Reddit to later sell the account or inflate someone's ego

PC Gamer magazine and shilling dumb ideas. Name a more iconic duo

'Sentient' is a bit of a stretch. 'Living' or 'moving' would be closer.

Comparing the brains of bugs to animals that are considered sentient (such as humans, dolphins, corvids, etc) is like comparing Hello World to an AGI

Or they could be ignorant of history and assume that the UK stole The Falklands from native people simply. I don't really blame people for that becaise Great Britain did that a lot, they're just innocent this time around

For those unaware, The Falklands were actually uninhabited by the time Great Britain colonized it. The only recorded settlers of the islands before that was a group of pirates that used them as a base. They ended up disrupting so much shipping that the US navy came in and wiped them out 50-100 years before Great Britain claimed the islands.
