I listen to Sega Mega Drive playlists. Usually the relaxing ones. I've played them so much that the song progression is normal to me. I know which one will play next in the list. Sometimes a song gets stuck in my head and it impedes my thought process, so I put it on and don't have to think about it anymore. Usually the Sega songs, they are designed to be repeated.
The only reason I'm on 10 with my main pc is because the 7th gen intel in there isn't compatible with win11. I have another pc that is 7th gen, which I put windows 11 on and there is just something weird about it. When I do anything on that machine it doesn't do it immediately, it sits for a few seconds before actions are done. Really aggravating. Clicking on a program on the taskbar takes a few seconds before it opens. File explorer, firefox browser, settings pane, ... Once programs are running it's fine to use said programs, but I wonder what they did to make it feel this way.
I have Linux on both machines as primary OS and they are super snappy, it's not the hardware.
If your work requires Windows, then use Windows. Switch to Linux when everything you need is available on it. If alternatives don't exist, then that's it.
I always thought it had to do with avoiding ambiguity. By using a specific word with a specific meaning, you don't need to expand on the context. I think I read that somewhere a long time ago and just accepted it.
Please tell Tongshen, who manufactures the popular TSDZ2 motor. The pedal keeps coming loose because they don't do this. I keep a key on me to tighten it when it starts to loosen.
I play a Quake 2 mod that converts it to a ww2 game and it's as ugly as you can expect for a game from before the turn of the century. Ray tracing in this game is short of magic. No assets changed, and it makes it look so good, it's unbelievable.
Of course sometimes we also play this game in software mode which doesn't even colored lighting, just pure rendering on the CPU. So grainy...
Some people are into that
