NOM!

They should have stopped after they added tabs to notepad. That was an actually good change.

The whole point of the app is to be simple, any, any extra fluff is detrimental to the core functioning of the app.

Agreed. A karma total is a negative part of Reddit, and caused people to seek bigger number even harder than they already do.

There are companies that do freight forwarding. Much less dodgy than random person on the internet. Would be worth checking out.

“How impressed everybody is” is the basis of money, law, self-worth and our models of reality

Money

Is it? I don’t try to impress anybody with money I do or don’t have. If you do, consider not doing so. You might find your finances in a better state.

self-worth

Don’t, I repeat, do not base your self worth on what other people think. Listen to their input and make yourself the best person you can be. But if you only have self-worth due to how impressed your neighbors are, you are going to have a very poor life as you make a continued bad decisions.

Law

There are vanishingly few laws that are centered around impressing anybody. The core theme to is to create laws that best allow for the functioning of society. For some easy examples, lack of criminalizing murder, lack of property rights, or lack of a tax code all fuck up modern society pretty quick.

our models of reality

I’m not sure how ‘impressing others’ is part of this at all? Our model of reality, ie physics, chemistry, math, have nothing to do with impressing others?

In defense of the new tracks, the trains did seem to careen around corners a bit too much.

I’ll tell you what though, took me awhile to figure out why nothing was lining up properly. I have a saved blueprint that is just two lengths of straight track with a rail signal on both, set to the length of a 1 engine, 4 car train and separated by the width of a (not in the blueprint) turnaround. Yeah…that blueprint needed a quick adjustment after laying down way too much track.

Yeah, your suggestion is the only thing I could think that would even work, but honestly, it’s probably more trouble than it is worth.

An alternative which doesn’t quite meet the requirements, but will be much lower effort would be to format the drive(s) as exFat, which both Windows and Linux can read without issue. Then put them up as a network share in both OSes.

If you are wanting RAID 1 with those two drives…this won’t work unless you are either using hardware raid (maybe you can set it in your bios?) or if you can find a software raid that both windows and linux use. For RAID, maybe just pick one OS and that will be the one that has the share.

I would also recommend against the SSD caching idea with all this other stuff in the mix, wait till you have a dedicated NAS PC. You are going to pull your hair out otherwise.

OP, do you have an old computer, even an old laptop? A NAS doesn’t require much computing power. You can plug your drives in via a SATA to USB adapter. Then you will have a dedicated NAS box and all these problems get 500x easier.

Since I do quite a bit of gaming, 2k/120hz by a far margin. The fewer pixels makes it easier to turn the graphics up more, and the extra frame-rate cap allows for games to be nice and smooth.

My main display is actually a 2k/144hz screen right now. :)

That second graph is a doozy. What is driving the two? I’m assuming the Trump plan involves a cut to capital gains tax?

Valve needs to start banning games from their store for retroactively breaking Linux support.

Valve did recently mandate games will have to share if they use Kernel Level Anti-Cheat. If nothing else it allows people to better see what games want to own their systems.

If you play with your friends, the shitty anticheat situation means you may need to keep Windows around.

Highly suggest the new Factorio expansion with friends. Game is a shitload of fun and there is no anti-cheat BS.

I have never found HDR to be helpful. Every time I turn it on it seems to think what I want was not better colors, but for all my colors to be extremely washed out on every screen.

Yeah, I made the switch to Mint recently and have been pleasantly surprised with how much of a non-issue it is. Open steam, hit install, hit play. Game runs.

Only thing I had to do was enable a single checkbox in steam to enable Proton for Windows games: “Enable Steam Play for all titles”

Everything in low earth orbit (LEO) decays and falls back to earth due to drag; as there is a very, very small amount of air there. The starlink satellites are all in LEO.

Space junk is mostly a problem higher up. In the higher orbits, old satellites move themselves to graveyard orbits; places where nobody really wants a satellite.

Personally, I use TVs as a simple screen and watch everything through other devices (Roku, or a Linux PC running MythTV).

This would be my suggestion. Get a mini pc or dongle and use the TV simply as a display. Internet connected TVs are never well supported.

Also, highly suggest disconnecting the TV from the internet. They don’t get security updates and they are notorious for spying on people’s viewing habits.

Of course not, who would put a power button on the back or bottom of the computer? Front, side, or top are the places it goes for almost every computer out there.

As long as no vents are blocked, should work fine. Anything with a fan is orientation agnostic.

but you expect them to disable USB devices waking their computer?

He expects people to turn off their computer when they are done with it, which is a perfectly reasonable thing to expect. Apple is deliberately making it harder to use this computer in a way many people use their computer.

This was the reason they made the API changes. They wanted to charge for easy access to the content. Sure, you can scrape every Reddit page, but nobody has time for that. Pay up and hoover down Reddit comments for you AI training.

Why the hell do they have so many employees in the first place? You don’t need so many people for the few products they offer.

Remember when a new major version meant something major changed?

Was nice as it prompted me to go read change notes. Now I have no clue when it’s a collection of minor things or has actual major changes unless I go read every set of change notes.
