  • I probably would’ve had a difference if I reformatted after six years as well, but it was definitely not a requirement, I could still run most AAA games without major issues, just lower settings. I put that more to blame on old hardware than anything else, maybe a reformat would add a couple extra years but it had some physical breakages as well so I didn’t bother








  • It’s probably easier to replace Amazon than YouTube. Free streaming services don’t make money, YouTube loses money, Twitch loses money, Kick loses money, the Microsoft one before it died was losing money. If it’s free to watch it loses money, and these are companies that do a ton of work to try and make it not lose money, and it just doesn’t work.




  • Having used my gaming laptop on my lap, honestly it doesn’t really block the vents. Like 50% of the bottom is vent, so either I have my legs together and there are gaps at the side, or I have my legs apart and there is a gap in the middle.

    But also yes, it’s about packing it up and setting it up significantly easier and faster, as opposed to actually doing things on the go. If I let my laptop use full performance on its battery, I would expect sub-30 minute battery life, as opposed to the ~2 hours I get when the GPU is turned off.
