no, but at 23 you'd wish you started at 22

as the saying goes the best time to start was when you were 6 the second best time is now

and we're all free to say fuck off.

I'm assuming OP meant a store like Target or Walmart that have groceries and also a tech section

man it crazy I switched to Wayland on my laptop and docking to 3 monitors just worked on Wayland and it would remember all my monitors settings

I hand like 2 or 3 scripts setup to try and manage that on x11

it's for contrast, white text on light background is almost impossible to read same with dark on dark. Uses a per character or per pixel filter to determine the color of the text

and then you'll get dropped by every insurance provider regardless

stops having to swap pages to disk, slightly more overhead on the CPU side but for most systems that will be an order of magnitude faster that swapping to disk

your confusing it with yyyymmdd

well using someone's code properly licensed isn't plagiarism

a fair few of my uni classes were like take this guys code and make it do this, which were like 4 lines changes

there's two possibilities for this wifi blocking:

  1. it's setup to only allow whitelisted devices, in this case you're fucked, only option is to pretend to be some whitelisted device
  2. it's a blacklist, in this case changing your mac address will make you appear to be a new device, anyone monitoring the device list could see the unknown device appear

/run contains all sorts of virtual stuff, it doesn't persist over a reboot,

I would advise against deleting anything in it as those files are used by programs running as whether user has the ID of 1000 (most likely you)

it contains things such as sockets and lock files so that programs can interact with each other

breath of fresh air my ass, these redesigns are just getting worse and worse

id personally thing any mistake when dealing with that quantity of money is extreme and outrageous

and 2 would be in the reckless clause not the intentional

the simple answer is Microsoft

they have so much backwards compatibility built into their operating system it's becoming a problem

Linux systems are also more varied, having one target is easy so you know it works,

anither reason is Windows is the largest desktop operating system, so if some random has to use it they've probably seen it before

you would use some form of UUID or GUID and then have email as a secondary to look the ID up

those do not require access to the underlying devices to get tho

I think at one point I had like 2.5 tb of stuff stored on my 2 tb drive in my laptop, deduplication and btrfs compression is fun

I wish I could

post nasal drip is awful

I'ma be real the 40ms saved isn't even noticable

I'm a tab stop = 8 kinda guy 2 is just tiny looks like an accidental leading space

(this is also why using spaces for indentation is bad)

you absolutely need a pillow that fits your sleeping style

I hate how natural is called natural cuz there's nothing natural about it, when using a touchpad or mouse you're controlling the viewport, mouse down should move the viewport down

there's nothing to balance you just need the right length of line, the balls are free to move along the lines

I'd go steam, they games probably drm free on both and steam has a Linux client and cloud saves and workshop

well they kinda had to nuke csgo as you can't transfer inventories between games

the game is so fucked tho, on my 1060 I could play csgo at 1440p low at about 200fps, cs2 I'm lockynto get 100 on FSR performance

and zooming with scopes are fucked get about 300ms of stutter every time

yeah I put Linux on my 2019 XPS 15 back in 2019 and went from 4 hours of usable productivity time to 4 hours of usable productivity time

battery degradation is a much bigger issue than Linux vs windows

I kinda get it tho, accepting the cringe makes doing the cringe things way better

the inertia from the cars current speed is used to spin the engine rather than the engine spinning the wheels, the resistances of the engine is what causes the slowing effect

modern cars with fuel injection can complete disable injecting fuel when not needed and can also adjust the timing of the injections for maximum efficiency

big hands make 6.7 inch phones seem small

anyone cuz it doesn't matter

we have to dig to the specs for tv size cuz the size of tvs is the diagonal screen area not the actual size

we use cubic centimeter for small displacement engines where the whole displacement is measured (is car) and cubic inches for the large ones where the displacement is measured per cylinder (ie trains)

yup, reciprocal area measurements are a pain

risk of rain 2, game is sooo good just pickes up the dlc survivors of the void and it adds so much new stuff, def recommend if you like third person shooters and rougelites, it's quite hard tooo which makes wining all that more satisfying as well as endless mode as an option

cockpit

same difference lustre is British english and luster is regular english

I use arch btw

yup it's true

easiest way is to middle click them

I think people misspeak, windows puts the windows bootloader first after some updates

babyrage

systemd is an init system that is super popular because it is so not shit and does what people want, and has adjacent projects that interface with it nicely

some people want more variety but put their effort in an unproductive direction
