Op used the word directly, what you describe sounds more indirect to me. I may be a bit pedantic, but musk isn't going to pay to repair vandalized Tesla's.

DLLS and similars are nice for running newer games on outdated hardware.

Sadly it also enables studios to cheap out on optimization, you shouldn't need upscaling for 1080p medium on a new GPU.

Wenn man an einer Überdosis stirb kann man aber auch nicht von Koffein abhängig sein...

Habe heute erst mit meinem Telefon bezahlt, ist aber eine hinterlegte Karte...

Kenne mich nicht genug damit aus um zu beurteilen ob das einen Unterschied macht.

Have you watched non episodic anime? There's a lot of Movie length anime out there often with more mature theming.

Akira was probably the first anime that put the medium on the map for me at all. The animated Ghost in the shell movie is also pretty good. And almost all of the Studio Ghibli films.

You could also try stuff like Cowboy Bebop or Serial Experiments Lain for episodic but still short works.

There's a pretty good Mad Max game out there...

The tube in the background is probably for the real repaste...

This 100% I'm the computer person in my social circles, and my head sometimes starts to hurt from reading less than ideal documentation. Granted those are usually for pretty involved stuff, but it's pretty frustrating spending hours to chew through and not getting an answer after all.

I'd imagine it's worse for people whose PC is not a hobby but a tool. You shouldn't need to spend a lot of time and effort on a tool just to get it working right. That might be fine for a used bargain tool, but you don't replace like half the world's OS's with a used bargain tool. That's not what people want or need.

In Germany, and by extension the EU, we have a website called "geizhals", which basically translates to "penny-pincher".

It is an insanly good tool to find the specific item you're looking for and where to buy it for the least amount of money. Its got a pretty robust search, and some of the most comprehensive filters I've ever seen. When I cant find what I'm looking for using Amazons search, which is nearly always, I use their site instead.

Only real downside (for me) is when stuff isn't listed on there. They probably collect data and stuff, but they also provide a useful service in return.

While writing this I have also noticed that they offer the same thing called "skintflint" for the UK. Maybe something similar exists for ppl. in the U.S. ?

Oh, you're right. Although 50% per year is still insane.

And I definitely forgot about investing, but also didn't account for inflation, which maybe would cancel e/o out.

Doesn't really matter if you consider the difference between a million and a billion is roughly a billion.
