So, once times?

You joke but it would be an awesome project. Maybe replace the screen with a real LCD, shove an rpi inside etc.

The gist of it is because there's some key features most don't have. This way they can offer something that's guaranteed to have it. I can't recall the exact details as it's from a recent Jeff g video I watched.

Edit: found the video https://youtu.be/JpDprtmSVtU?si=5l4KG4CFwM2lU49c

Maybe I'm missing a setting, but I can't get this to scale with my vertical monitor. Rearranging the layout would be cool too.

Otherwise ya this looks and works well.

I think the estimates are much, much longer until that happens.

I don't want to 'get to know' my coworkers. I'm not there for friendships, or a pseudo family. I'm there to do a job and be paid for it.

But, this might just be my introvert side.

Honestly, I've always been surprised they allow any direct file transfers, instead of having to use external links.

Good, run that into the ground too and be rid of it.

Can we get a list of companies NOT doing this? I'd assume it's going to be much shorter.

Two physical drives. Install windows first in one, then Linux on the other. If you don't do this order windows boot manager will take over and you'll have to boot Linux from bios.

The game came out in 2021. There are far older games from other publishers still up and getting updates. Stop giving these pump-and-dump games your money.

Military numbers seem grossly undervalued

11 minutes to 55 seconds in their example is interesting. I'd wager this won't do much for the consumer side, but enterprise...could save tons of time.

See guys, we shoulda paid for it back then. Now we're paying for it now XD

Jumper cables. For like 10-20$ it can save you or someone else a lot of trouble.

Not exactly, though I see your point. I think it would be more accurate if McDonald's charged for ketchup, mustard, salt, drink cups, lids, straws etc.

Lay them all out in a straight line. Attach camera to rc car. Drive car past pics. Basically Google streets but for your pics XD /s

Lots of great suggestions here though.

This is a welcome change tbh. All these other platforms push rage bait and crap just to drive engagement numbers.

It's refreshing to go back a little to how the Internet used to be. You had to go and find what you liked, not have a million things pushed on you.

Just a reminder of the 3-2-1 backup model.

Semi important things are backed up to my home server. Super important stuff is also stored on a big name cloud service.

Also, don't forget paper exists. For smaller documents, it could be worth printing them, and putting them in a water/fire resistant safe.

I'm an old millennial and Ive usually preferred games to movies.

I think one reason it's hard for me to watch movies (or even books) is having no control over the narrative. Writing in a lot of TV/movies are just too, well, stupid. Even if a game is bad, you can at least have fun with cheats/mods or having your own objectives. Movies/TV your stuck with their plot as a bystander to a story.

Why does this matter? As an android user, I don't really understand iMessage. Are people mad about a text bubble being a different color?

To play the devils advocate here, maybe music man has gotten ridiculed before with this question on his music preference. When I'm driving by myself, I'll fire up youtube and listen to all sorts of random stuff. But I'd never subject my wife to it as I know we don't share interest in some things.

Speaking from experience, from a long time ago, and from the people/family I've installed it for on older machines: It's different. That's 90% of it.

The people that had little to no windows/PC experience actually took to Linux a lot easier not having to relearn/change habits from windows.

I've had both over my life. Both have pros and cons.

As others have said, cats overall require less attention; both in interaction and maintenance. Our cats are really good about keeping house bugs to a minimum with their natural hunter instincts. Flies,moths and other critters don't last long. Also litter boxes are something I wish dogs could figure out lol.

Dogs are more social, so they'll need more from you. They need frequent outside time to run and exercise/bathroom. Most dogs don't care about catching bugs and critters like cats. However, if treated right, will defend the house to the death from intruders.

In my current situation, cats are better. If I had a much bigger, we'll fenced yard, I'd love to have a dog again.

"It is what it is"

I get the sentiment behind it, it's just usually so defeatist/dismissive of a situation to me.

Pihole or similar DNS blocking. I can't recommend it enough. My smart TVs are the #1 offender on my network. The only thing that will try to pull in more ads are my wife's mobile games.

You can also setup local comms network for them and the bands they can operate in have better structural penetration vs most WiFi/cellular?

It also gives them a singular, simple device that won't be confused for personal notifications like a smart phone.

Not everything needs to be bleeding edge. We still use forks and spoons cuz they just work.

It's what we get for not buying it XD

Nuclear power at small scale is already in use in devices. Some medical devices, smoke detectors etc. As long as there is proper shielding, the enclosure is robust enough, and the overall device is made easily serviceable, I'm all for it. I can understand the fear sentiment of anything flagged as radioactive, but radiation is all around us already. Idk, but the less we can ditch super toxic and explosive lithium the better.

No. It's like expecting construction companies to enforce traffic laws because they build the roads.

They can burst move faster than our eyes are capable of seeing. Most of their movements are burst speeds lol. So they effectively are D&D phase spiders XD

Isn't a machine taking your money and not receiving anything from it isn't?

Went with random creation. Unfortunately I skipped over the slider customizations. Stuck with a male character. Though the height slider was already cranked up.

Tried to go for a melee build, but stats favored int. So, I've been going with a Netrunner build (IT).

How so? It opens, and works reasonably for me, on a non top tier phone.

I'm speechless, ina bad way.

My new PC has 64g ram. But I'm also not using or plan to use windows. Checkmate M$!

But in all seriousness, 8g is like, the foundational minimum these days. Sad tbh. Browsers are so bloated these days. I'm surprised that browsers haven't become their own OS yet. It kinda feels that way in some environments.

Going through OPs past posts, it's interesting....

I hope you find the help ya need.

I think this will vary too much between OS and hardware. For me, Vulkan feels better overall. Dx11 looks slightly better but less performant.

But I'm running all AMD hardware, Linux steam with proton.
