Points awarded by Ukraine
gollark: As far as I know they only added Linux support initially so it would be considered a computer for tax purposes, or something similarly stupid.
gollark: If you install Linux on there, you won't buy the games.
gollark: Presumably PS3s are sold somewhat below cost to make back money on the games.
gollark: As far as I know much of that was like a modern general-purpose GPU, but without some of the stuff that made those very good, like their buckets of memory bandwidth.
gollark: It isn't just formatting. For stupid historical reasons, there are two units, GiB (gibibytes, 2^30 bytes) and GB (gigabytes, 10^9 bytes) which software and people will happily mix up all the time.
