I know, I know. I was just dreaming of a world where they didn’t suck.

A sensible approach would have been to regulate data collection and misinformation on social media in general, instead of writing a law that bans one specific platform. But oh well, what do I know.

RTX A1000 is a workstation Card, there’s desktop cards with that branding as well. Nvidia has laptop versions of the gaming cards, but the Dell business focused ranges are more marketed for ‘mobile workstation’ type stuff, so they get the workstation cards.

I mean, yeah, they suck. But honestly, a crowdsourced database of coupons feels like it isn’t a good fit for a for-profit company anyway.

Having a pressure point against the shops by letting them control what kind of coupons would be shown was probably a big reason they weren’t just kicked out of at least some of those affiliate programmes.

You activated my trap card! My sickness was but a simple ruse to lure you into complacency! Your attack was weak, unfocused! I jump up, standing on my bed, your face is now easy prey for my unnaturally sharp knees. The structural rigidity of your nose is now forfeit!

Oh, yeah, that also annoyed me. I actually meant the settings menu, though. I have set up KDE for friends/family a few times, and depending on screen size and scaling, even in conditions that shouldn’t be edge cases, there where sometimes scrollbars in both directions.

I also just, kinda don’t like the vibe, I guess? That’s extremely subjective, I know, just something I noticed every time I worked with KDE.

Well, use the time to try it, I guess.

Yeah, it usually takes a week for the official versions of the extensions I use to work again after a gnome version update. It’s easily worked around, usually, but that hard break every update sucks.

I just dislike the way KDE structures it’s menus more, and while I suspect that I could tweak KDE to be something I like using, I also suspect that that would be much more annoying to fix for the next mayor Update.

I sometimes think about swapping over to i3, but I haven’t yet had the leisure to give it a try.

I absolutely love (slightly tweaked) gnome. Fight me if you want, I’m sick in bed and have time.

Holy-C used to be called C+, I think.

That heavily depends on what you mean by writing music. Musescore (the software, not the website) is pretty good for writing notation, and open source.

If it’s more about producing a track, there’s Ardour, also foss. If you wanna pirate an “industry standard” daw, there’s FL Studio and Ableton, I guess.

Depending on what you want to do exactly, there might be a lot of other software that fits the bill.

T14s

You mean 40W? Can’t imagine a T config that’d do 400.

Hmh, interesting. Dunno whether it’ll make the casual listening playlist, but I’ve been to some hardcore bands that didn’t sound that different.

Now I’m curious - why do you upload unstructured noise?

Well, people love to complain. I didn’t feel Inquisition was as good as Origins, but I still had fun with it, and I assume the same is gonna be true for Veilguard.

Anyways, that’s curios. I think the Dragon Age Games are some of the few I own on Origin. I’d be kinda surprised if EA made the effort to patch the games on their own client, though.

Might try running it tomorrow, out of curiosity.

What problems did you have with it? Still runs surprisingly well for me. Haven’t tried Veilguard yet, but plan to as soon as I have some time. Felt that none of the sequels where able to match Origins yet, though.

Somehow, I feel called out.

Sure, it’s from Germany, though. Shipping might be a problem, depending on your location.

If you look for used or refurbished ThinkCentres, Optiplexes, and whatever-hp-calls-theirs, there’s usually some cheap ones, at least around here.

I just bought a used Ryzen 3 ThinkCentre as a media centre PC for 66€. Feel like the pi has a hard time competing both on price and performance in that field.
