It sounds like your issue might be a bad ribbon cable, connector, or some other easy fix. Getting the display working might be doable with reasonable effort. If not, you can make it a:

Minecraft (or any game you like) server.

Steam remote play host machine. Let the laptop do the processing and send the video signal to a lower-performance client.

Load movies onto an external drive. Load emulators onto the hard drive. Use it as a media PC and emulation station.

Video editing machine.

Either way, make sure whatever screen you hook up to it has at least a 60 hertz refresh rate.

If you stream, a lot of streamers use a second machine to record, manage the stream, run the webcam, etc. allowing their main machine to prioritize rendering the game; you could use it for that.

I think the better point is that these criticisms could be applied to nearly any phone app.

Over 99.9% of gun owners do so responsibly, without hurting anyone or breaking any laws. To tell 99.9% of people they’re not allowed to do something becasue less than 0.1% of people abused their right to it, should be a very concerning idea to anyone who claims to live in a free society.

If it was a simple matter of availability, then other countries with just high and higher rates of gun ownership as the US would see the same violence problems. But, that isn’t the case, those countries don’t have the same problems as the US.

All bans do is make people feel better about “solving” a problem without committing real time, money, and effort to an actual solution. I don’t want to see another gun ban because I’d rather see something happen that will actually reduce instances of gun violence.

A problem with gun violence isn’t a problem with guns, it’s a problem with violence. Treat the underlying issues of violence: poverty, unemployment, homelessness, drug addiction, and mental health, and the problem will be solved.

Forget about the machine. If the gun is in your hand, is it the gun’s fault if you shoot somebody?

That’s exactly the way it should be. I don’t get to program a computer to steal money, then blame the computer for the stolen money.

HOWEVER, I couldn’t help but notice this part:

“If someone tells a tool to do something, and the tool does it, I don’t think we would say, ’Oh, what do we do about the tool?’”

and think of gun control.

Guns are tools; they don’t do anything they aren’t told to do. And yet, when someone tells a gun to shoot another person, we do say, “Oh, what can we do about the tool?” and the answer is usually “ban it.” Why?

If this line of thinking is so obvious when it comes to AI, why is it the opposite when it comes to guns?

I don’t get to say, “That crazy gun just broke loose, went off the rails all by itself and shot somebody.” We all understand the gun didn’t do anything, the shooter did. Thus, solutions should focus on the shooter, not the gun.

Violence is the problem, not the tool used to do it. Treat the underlying causes of violence: poverty, homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction, and mental health, if you want to solve the violence problem.

There are many reasons for that.

Meta wants to choose which regulations are applied to all social media platforms because they know which regulations they and their competition can/not easily comply with. They want to make themselves look trustworthy for regulating themselves, while mitigating AI scrapers and fake accounts throwing off their engagement metrics, while giving themselves very lax regulations, while also weaponizing our government to apply burdensome regulations to their competitors.

Based af putting Doom 64 above Doom 2016. I’m right there with you, I think Doom 64 is terribly underrated. The soundtrack for 64 is my favorite in the franchise.

Dark Souls

Super Smash Brothers: Melee

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Guitar Hero 3

Fallout: New Vegas

Not really a remake, but there’s a port with a few tweaks called “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest” for the GameCube.
