Ryzen and Apple M1 were the best things that happened to CPUs. On one hand I got a super efficient CPU in the M1 and on other hand, I can get a very performant 16 core CPU (Ryzen 7950x) without shelling out insane money for server/workstation CPUs.

What if the simulation is done in a way like we render video game graphics. We never render stuff that is not "visible", well mostly to spare GPU and CPU cycles. What stops a super advanced simulation to simulate only stuff we can "see" or stuff we observe. If no one is looking at the Andromeda galaxy, no simulation needs to "render" it, saving processing cycles. Or maybe, the nature of the probabilistic aspects of quantum physics is an indication that that the simulators are trying to simulate in a "lossy" way, kind of like MP3 vs FLAC files.
Now, isn't it dangerous running ads and clicking on them from a security point of view? Can these ads exploit some vulnerability and pwn your computer? I would prefer never to run ads and not risk some infection.

This is the elephant in the room.
Let me know when Linux is running games that have Easy Anti Cheat or stuff from Blizzard. It's the day I will ditch my windows gaming rig. Until then, kindly STFU.
No, your analogy is idiotic.
Librarian had a sign up: Authors are allowed to vandalise their books. Then they restored it.
Every single reddit post has a "delete" link. If Reddit doesn't want people to delete their posts ... then I will go out on a limb and will suggest to ... remove the "delete" link?
Did you live there? I did.
- Electricity rationed: we had maybe 3-4 days per week and mostly evenings and in winter. We lived in a medium sized city. Plenty of villages had no electricity whatsoever.
- Food rationed: You could buy meat twice a week. Bread? Once ever two days. We were lucky we lived close to nature so collecting mushrooms and fishing filled the gaps.
- Hot water rationed: You can get used to cold showers, I guess.
- Ethnic minorities were viewed as vermin (we were one).
- More and more school subjects were thought not in your mother's tongue.
- Roof? Sure we had.
- Lack of market economy? We had "illegal" movies, "illegal" rock music and some "illegal" western tech. There was a thriving black market economy.
- Your phone was constantly taped and listened on.
- You were afraid who you talked to, were afraid of your friends because they could be informants.
- Criminality low? Maybe in one aspect but corruption was through the roof. You wanted something? Bribe someone.
- There was also a pandemic of alcoholism and violent men towards their wives. My father and 3 of my 5 uncles were part of this statistic. So were thousands of others.
But yeah, life was "not bad".
You don't think than an intelligence who would emerge and would probably be insanely smarter than the smartest of us with all human knowledge in his memory would sit by and watch us destroy the planet? You think an emergent intelligence was trained on the vast human knowledge and history would look at our history and think: these guys are really nice! Nothing to fear from them.
This intelligence could play dumb, start manipulating people around itself and it would take over the world in a way no one would see it coming. And when it does take over the world, it's too late.
Do you blame personal responsibility for a smoker’s lung cancer?
Do you blame personal responsibility for the liver failure of an alcoholic?
Do you blame personal responsibility for the Rohingya genocide?
It’s easy to blame the parents when Meta creates a hyper addictive application with beauty filters for example that amplifies society’s pressure on young girls to be of a certain pre-determined “norm”.
The issues young girls are facing go far beyond the extremely narrow view of “it’s the parent’s fault”.
My PC does that.
I guess if good strategy games come out on XBox/PS5 and they support regularly KB/Mouse I might get a console. Then again, lack of KB/Mouse is just one of my gripes. No modding and a general purpose computer locked down to do a few things make consoles useless for me. On my PC I can do whatever I want.
That's baloney. If someone is remotely interested in strategy games for example (MMOs, Real time strategy or Civ like complex games) they are better run on PCs because of keyboard and mouse. There is also the consumer who has the money to splurge out on a high end GPU and wants to run games at high refresh 4K. And there are old dinosaurs like me who could never get used to controllers, and I tried. Got an Xbox controller for my PC for Elden Ring, couldn't get used to it, switched back to KB/Mouse, finished game easy.

No, people want Meta/Facebook to fail because frankly, they are evil.
