It should be illegal to scan or redeem your lotto tickets before 9am. Some people are just trying to get to work, but nooope, gotta wait behind the superstitious lady who only wants every second scratch&win with a serial number that ends in 2 or some crap.

Yep! Co-worker had 2 old laptops, threw a SSD into one of them and put Zorin OS on it for his daughter to do schoolwork on. Not one complaint or question about how to do anything, and it's been a year. The other one was very very underpowered so I threw CasaOS onto it and got him setup with Home Assistant and Adguardhome.

Windows 11 forgetting my Bluetooth controllers constantly is part of the reason I switched to Linux.

I repair and upgrade classic video game consoles. RGB modding NES, Adding HDMI output to a PS1 etc. Sometimes in the case of some NEC consoles like the Turbo Duo R, I'll buy ones that are totally hopeless (capacitors in these thing leak like crazy) and pick away at it for months, I've had some janky looking consoles but I've brought them back from the dead. Always satisfying when then work again.

I tried playing through TotK on original hardware, After a week or so when the emulation was better I switched to PC and restarted. I found it so much better, the constant frame rate drops on original hardware drove me crazy.

You could play a game of Global Thermonuclear War

Not sure where you live but around here Sony isn't an option for TV's not financially anyway, 30-40% more than the competition for no damned reason.

I work in the rim and tire industry so I find this really interesting. Haven't seen either of those two brands before where I am, but most cheaper brands nowadays are all made at the same two or three locations and just get a different name stamped into the sidewall.

Been replaying through Y's VII: Lacrimosa of Dana. Such a great JRPG and Falcoms sound team was absolutely on point for this title.

Will definitely be checking some of these out!

Just think of the Duck Tales intro song, that should at least replace it.

That's really bad, sounds like a winter compound tire was sold as an all-season or something. That sounds like the typical treadwear for a winter tire that gets run in the wrong season.

Also for anyone reading this, If you ever need cheap tires try your local independent mechanics or to a lesser extent franchise mechanics shop, lots of people swap tires when they have 35%+ tread life left. Lots of shops will let these tires go for cheap if you get them put on at their shop. I would gladly take a good quality tire at 40% tread life vs a cheapo crap set at 100%

Considering where I live like 80% of our power generation is from hydro-electric dams, yep. I do this every day.

Could turn it into a emulation box, play some classics.

If you like city building/survival style games I've been having an absolute blast with Timberborn

Been getting those emails for 10+ years, I just laugh and keep seeding.

Just in case anyone is looking to have their adult content streamable but kept separate from Plex/Jellyfish etc check out Stash, really easy to spin up a container. Works well, bit rough around the edges though.

Yep. Came across a computer recently still running Windows 2000 on it. Fan sounded like a truck with a bad lifter tick 😂

I want to believe that your joking...but sadly I think I know better by now...

Got way too much on the go right now.

Thank you for reminding me of Material Shell, I tried it years ago on an older build of Zorin OS and it crashed constantly. Excited to give it another whirl, and great to see he's working on the same concept with a new implementation,

Wayland is still unusable for me. Was happily running Wayland in 5.27 But have encountered nothing but issues in 6.0, main one being performing any sort of action with animations, scrolling, opening notifications etc causes the desktop frame rate to pummet, sometimes even hitting zero. All AMD build as well. I'll keep checking back to see if it's fixed but I'm too new to Linux to do any real sleuthing. X11 has been working fine in the meantime.

Roboquest is one of the most enjoyable games I have played in years, And the devs seem to really care, every update has made the game significantly more enjoyable and they seem to be actually listening to player suggestions and feedback. Highly recommended if you want a fast paced FPS Roguelite.

If you've played Gunfire reborn and are expecting more of the same your going to be disappointed though.

Gunfire Reborn is Roguelite first, FPS second Roboquest is FPS first, Roguelite second.

Same concepta executed and implemented very differently.

Buckle Up, Disappointment Awaits!

Not a week goes by that I don't think about Y's 8 at some point. It was my first entry into the series, it took my restarting 4 times before I got a "feel" for it and got sucked into the story. I am so glad I did. One of my all time favourite series now. Currently playing through Origins waiting for the English and hopefully PC release of Nordics

Ohh god, I just turned off Necromunda: Hired Gun. I love Warhammer, and grim dark but as for a long live in Necromunda? Not a chance.

That's me all the time, I find it equally as odd when I do have a dream.

Yeah, Western Canada.

Perfect Dark as well.

Pixel 7 Pro here, haven't seen this at all, it's just dead space for me.

Shokran - Tefnut: The Greatest Drought

Gargoyles consistently slips under people's radar and that's so sad, as it was such a great cartoon. I mean who doesn't want Jonathan Frakes voicing the big bad?

I should clarify, by RGB I don't mean LED I mean modding the console to output an analog RGB signal (much better quality than the Composite of RF hookups you would normally use) for video out, you need specific hardware in order to take advantage of that higher quality signal though. Bob over on RetroRGB has a great write-up on it.

Awesome shot! We have a couple of these Pileated Woodpeckers in my neck of B.C. as well. They're quite timid though, only seem to be able to catch them leaving our yard.

This makes me even more excited to properly test my latest lens acquisition come spring, a 300mm F4.5 in beautiful shape :)

I had messed around with various distros in the mid 2000's but never more than a day. Just as a "this seems neat" kinda thing. Recently I wised up, tried Zorin OS was on that for a year, then went back to windows for a while. now I'm running EndeavorOS and there isn't even a windows partition on this machine, I will not be going back. Still debating setting up QEMU for the only windows only program I miss though.

Front Mission just got a remake, it's out now. Not sure how good the remake is though.

Since this change from google I have constant buffering issues on my home invidious instance, need to try updating my docker when I get home.
