Valve added macOS support somewhere around 2009 if I recall correctly. I imagine a number of people with Apple Cinema display connected to their PC would be really limited.

My dad bought me HL2 back in Nov 2004. At the time my PC spec was: P4, 512 RAM, GF FX5900XT, HDD 80Gb, Dial up 56k, LCD BenQ 1280x1024, Win XP. The game was in English and I didn't speak it at all at the time so had to download the tra

Some VPN sites and apps (Google Play and App Store) are banned. Still for now getting a VPN isn't that hard.

Both lalaland1125 and duxup are correct. It's for the Western audience. But my point was along the lines: Kremlin's bans Twitter since they can't control it in Russia (e.g. hard to remove content or prosecute the users.) And

Here in Russia it's a total clusterfuck at this point. 1) Roscomnadzor bans Twitter in Russia. 2) Russian embassy posts on Twitter claiming Mariupol hospital bombing was faked. It's like: Should we ban Twitter in Russia? Yes. Shou

Russia's central bank said all Visa/MasterCard should keep working in Russia. >Siloing Russian cards to work only within Russia would surely be annoying I guess it depends. I can't use my card on foreign websites. I can&#x

>somewhere else Could you be more specific? Russian MIR isn't even supported in some places in Russia. Chinese UnionPay isn't really relevant outside of China.

I should have perhaps mentioned in the original post: 1$ = 152,3₽ (buying 1 US dollar) 1$ = 85,7₽ (selling 1 US dollar). Just because you pay 152₽ to buy 1$ doesn't mean you can sell it at the same price. At least banks won't buy

Yes. You can purchase dollars in exchange of Rubles. Previous week it was aprox. 80 Rubles per U.S. Dollar. Now due to the White House's statement that there will be sanctions against the Russia's central bank (they shouldn't

Well, tomorrow we'll witness the economical suicide. Sberbank - 1$ = 110,49₽ Tinkoff - 1$ = 153,75₽ And the markets are not even opened. For the reference, before Putin started full-scale war against the Ukraine: 1$ = 78.66₽ (23rd Feb)

Is it too much to ask you to stop reposting this nonsense again and again. You're not contributing to the discussion (besides Putin did nothing wrong. It's all the West's fault anyway).

+1 to this. Stay calm people and don't make any rush decisions. The time's been worse. We'll make it.

>if Putin never would have allowed an independent Ukraine, why would NATO reject his demands to reject Ukraine's NATO application? Euromaidan happened 2013. Putin already lost the Ukraine back then. By annexing the Crimea and sendin

I think it boils down to this: 1) Some parts of the Ukraine (the Crimea and Southern regions of the Ukraine) have a significant pro Russian population, e.g. they wouldn't protest a lot against Russian influence. 2) On the other hand th

Maybe because the U.S. military isn't bombing the Ukrainian cities right now? And it wasn't the U.S.A. who sent troops to the Crimea and annexed in 2014?

Honestly, I'm not sure there a direct correlation between blocking Tor and rumours regarding the Ukraine. Russian government has been implementing censorship measures for many years. E.g. Tor would have been blocked in Russia sooner or

To be honest, I would wait for Windows 11 RTM. I mean if MS doesn't change the CPU requirements, then it means SP4, SP (2017) and Surface Studio 2 are not supported. Not mentioning millions of perfectly usable PCs out there.
