If you take 1kg of steel and 1kg of water, which is heavier? That’s right, steel is heavier.

Maybe you’re seriously overestimating the importance of your boycott?

Seems like your boycott has had no impact.

I’d understand that if it happened in one maybe two countries, but this happened across multiple countries where most people don’t condone the actions of Isreal. I’m not going just believe that some kind of a perfect storm gave Isreal the most televotes.

People who oppose Israel’s participation didn’t watch and didn’t vote.

Why would people not watch? Do you think Israel has such a huge influence on people that they’d outright ignore watching the show? I would argue that’s not a factor because there were people in the arena who booed Israel. They paid money to see it live. I didn’t like Israel participating, I still watched it because Eurovision is not about Israel.

Even if they did vote, their votes were spread across dozens of other candidates.

That’s a roundabout way of saying you think Israel’s song was popular among people. I’m supposed to believe Netherlands, who just had a massive protest about Israel, gave maximum points to Israel? Norway, who is known to be pretty anti-Israel, gave almost max points to Israel? Same with France, UK etc. Countries that have polls showing the majority being against what Israel is doing turn around and give max (or close to max) points to Israel? How? Why?

We’re supposed to take racism and far-right conspiracies as legitimate backlash? Normal people don’t care about shit like that. I’m with the other person, the reception was lukewarm because it played it safe.

Once maybe twice, sure. Enough times for someone to make a post about it? I also wouldn’t say it’s a red flag but it’s definitely weird.

Just take some basic safety steps, like discharging the capacitor and you’ll be fine

You already lost the average gamer at “discharging the capacitor”.

Because the verification system doesn’t take performance into consideration at all. It’s more of a “how much effort does it take to get the game running” indicator.

Young me got that lesson when trying to play ARMA 2 on a 5400RPM HDD. It would run 60FPS if I didn’t move but as soon as I started moving the game started stuttering. When I installed it on a 7200RPM HDD the game no longer had any performance issues.

It all comes down to what specs the game was designed for and I imagine most modern open world games are designed for SSD-s. Putting them on HDDs will absolutely have a negative effect.
