I’d recommend avoiding Epic Games, they seem to love breaking Linux compatibility. Publishers that force you to use their launcher, even if you have steam, can be annoying sometimes.

I’d suggest an AMD graphics card if possible. It just makes things simpler. I think Nvidia is still having issues with Wayland.

There were apparently 2 different MX150 chips with very different power consumption (10w vs 25w), core clocks (937mhz vs 1468mhz), and memory bandwidth (40GB/s vs 48GB/s). I don’t think either of these are going to play GTA5 well, but the 10w part is probably much worse. Can you confirm which one you’ve got?

Most of that going to get eaten by transaction fees. Is Elon still involved in a transaction processor?

Apple makes such weird decisions with their hardware sometimes. Like running the trackpad and keyboard off the Bluetooth controller in some models. I think it’s intentional just to make other OSes less compatible sometimes.

In college I was an apple certified tech and I had to replace a hard drive in a MacBook one day. The wireless card was glued to the top of it. No clue why. What was a 6 screw procedure on every other laptop vendor at the time was 20+ screws and 15 minutes of gentle prying on that thing.

I once wrote some software that replaced almost an entire accounting department. No bonuses were paid, no salaries increased for the few remaining people, it just went into the shareholders pockets. The company was already very profitable before this.

Cars aren’t automation, but you already know that. And despite what Elon says, they still require a driver to be operated (although that will probably change soon and remove 15% of jobs in the process). I’m not saying all advances in technology are bad. But things that will replace entire workforces, like how this will replace ground crews, have a negative affect.

Please let this decade be the decade that fascism dies.

Remember folks, most jobs are lost due to automation like this. These robots won’t be paying taxes or simulating the economy.

It can’t be enforced outside of their borders. And it’s barely enforceable inside of them. Matrix chat will probably get more popular. Proton, and other private email services, will still exist. This seems like people who don’t understand tech trying to regulate it.

ETA: if you think this is enforceable, look at how common piracy still is despite it being illegal in most places. VPNs, onion routing, alternative DNS, etc.

And those are the same people who are running dev-ops, infrastructure management, and acting as CTOs of companies. If you rely on enthusiasts, you don’t wanna piss off the enthusiast community.

Yup, you can do this pretty easily. But I didn’t want the added latency of another hop wherever I’m on cell service.

I’m using nextDNS so I can have it outside of home too. If you want someone to use on your phones when you’re away from home wifi, I’d give that or AdGuard a try. But PiHole is easy to do for home in an SBC or container.

Asange plays favorites and has an agenda. I want him to expose all the shady activities, not just the stuff he thinks will help Trump win an election.

I’ve been using Linux for 2 decades and I still use Debian for containers and servers and Pop_os for my desktop and laptop. If I was going to run a straight gaming machine I’d probably use something Arch based.

What kind of experience are you looking for? Something that’s bleeding edge? Something that’s going to give you 99.999% uptime with minimal hassle? Something to give you a hobby?

This is the wildest take I’ve heard. People don’t trust meta because it’s Facebook, because it’s Zuckerberg. We’ve all seen what they do with companies they acquire (I used to be an Oculus rift owner).We’ve all seen how poorly they handle data, seems like there is a data breach every year.

Hell, when I was an Oculus rift owner I worked inside of Virtual Desktop some days. I’d argue that Meta killed my desire to work in VR.

I love how Cosmic just stays out of your way and let’s you work. Never looked back after switching to it, hopefully the new one is the same thing but faster.

Wireless printers didn’t exist when this game came out. Network printers weren’t really a thing in homes. I wonder if it’s trying to probe the printer for some details, like margins or paper size, and crashes due to latency.

Edit: Have you tried removing/renaming the wineps.drv file in this bottle?

“There’s a new war going on, is this affecting my investments?!” - some capitalists I assume.

US State Dept. Officials Told Not to Use Terms ‘De-Escalation/Cease-Fire’ About Gaza - just… big sigh.

According to HuffPost, which reviewed official emails, “State Department staff wrote that high-level officials do not want press materials to include three specific phrases: ‘de-escalation/cease-fire,’ ‘end to violence/bloodshed,’ and ‘restoring calm.’”

That’s a bummer. Just about every pharmacy and shipping store in the US also has a print shop inside of it. And our libraries do cheap printing too. So even if you’re in the boonies you’re usually only a few minutes away from something.
