Just a geek, finding my way in the fediverse.
Yep. Haven’t used windows besides poking at other people’s machines and trying to figure out wtf is going on in about 20 years.
I’m just as clueless as you bud, but I’ve got a bootable Linux drive I can plug in. Come on, you know you wanna… It’ll be great, you’ll love it. It’s free
I started calling it “Grandma Debian” for some reason.
… I say this as a Debian user after new versions of Mint failed to accurately detect my RAID size. I tried Ubuntu for giggles, same problem, but Grandma Debian worked perfect out of the box.
To be fair, it is a software RAID in the BIOS and those are known to be odd.
I just enjoy that I can call them “xbone”
Last time I had free time and was looking for a new game someone told me “Get Control. Just get it. Trust me.”
My trust was not misplaced. It’s one of the best games I’ve ever played.
Edit: Later I tried AW1 and didn’t really care for it much (mostly because i sucked really bad at it) until I started using “all guns” cheats so I could play it like a horror/action. Then I enjoyed it.
Is there a sim card buried in there somewhere that can be removed or is it soldered in, potted, etc?
… Or your car bricks if you remove it wouldn’t surprise me, regardless.
Just keep in mind that if you’re sensitive to PWM then you won’t be playing the OLED as a handheld : (
Still works fine when attached to a tv, it’s just not a handheld/portable anymore.
I should note that I love my deck, I’m just very sad that I can’t play it as a portable.
Might vary by locale? Around here (South US) it seems like every single store has their own rewards/discount/whatever system that requires your phone number but it’s not necessary for the transaction… It’s just an extra info grab.
Sometimes the user facing POS/credit card reader will let you handle it (enter/skip) but many places rely on the salesperson to ask and then enter it or skip.
But, I also don’t get around much so my experience is limited.
Same.
Cashier: “What’s your phone number?” (For the store tracking/rewards/whatever)
Me : “Don’t have one!” (As I remove the credit card from the case on the back of myphone)
Nobody has questioned it once. They don’t want to ask in the first place but are forced to.
Generally speaking, programmers like to program (many do it just for fun), and many dislike review. AI removes the programming from the equation in favour of review.
This really resonated with me and is an excellent point. I’m going to have to remember that one.
Slashnet still exists and it’s fairly active depending on the channel. #xkcd was bumping last time I checked my client.
: D
I think they just fixed it
Yeah, Linux can capture and playback the spoken distinction between lowercase and uppercase letters. Windows can’t do that.
You’re not taking advantage of that functionality?
It’s just for … turning off the flashy lights.
This right here. But the software is garbage and I’d prefer they didn’t include the disco lights at all. Maybe that’s a way to improve profits?
Whoopsie!
I’ll join this.
I commented on a motorcycle thread a few days ago where the poster said “bike from 1982, over forty years old” (or something to that effect) where I had to do the math and realize… Shit… That was forty years ago.
I’d been looking for the nudge to cancel and the last round of ads did it for me.
Currently migrating a massive monolithic Java application to microservices… The circle of life continues.
Want to just swap jobs in ~5 years to keep the cycle going? You can migrate this project back to a Java monolith and I’ll migrate your monolith back to micros :D
I like to call myself a codemonkey
I replayed it on Deck a month or two back… And then Blue Shift. Still in my library from when I bought the Orange Box pre steam and then eventually registered it with my steam account
