I've been on Linux Mint for a few months now, and haven't booted into Windows in like three weeks.

The transition has been relatively painless.

I've been an Android user since the beginning, started with the G1. But I'm starting to think about Apple. I have no other Apple products but I just don't care about phone tech any more. I want a long lasting phone that launches apps, texts, and makes phone calls.

Which phone is it? My pixel 5a's camera just gave out and I'm in the market.

If I was stupidly rich I'd pay the entire fine to nullify the punishment to Gary. It isn't about the money to Nintendo; it's about making an example of him.

That's some bullshit. I hate that they can do that. They spin it as a convenience but I'd rather update all my accounts with the new card manually.

Oh (buy) Brother!

About 25 years ago I was visiting Alexandria Egypt. I had just eaten some packaged ice cream and was standing on an unpaved side street near a train station holding a sticky wrapper. Having already been in the country a few weeks I knew that I had no chance of finding a trash can. As I stared at the little mounds of trash around the street while plastic grocery bags swirled around my legs in the hot Mediterranean sun I had a realization - this was my opportunity to rebel against all my upbringing, the very core of my being. I flung the wrapper on the ground and walked away. No one batted an eye. Here in this ancient city that was named after a man lauded as "The Great " I too wept, seeing I had no more worlds to conquer.

It blows my mind that the 28 year old DVD format (720x480 resolution) is still being sold and consumed. I can walk into my local Walmart today and at least 40% of disks including brand new movies are on DVD. They look noticeably worse on even HD TVs (1920x1080) and no amount of fancy upscaling is going to make them look good on modern 4K UHD TVs (3840x2160).

I can get very close to 1 Gbit on Ethernet but top out at maybe 400 Mbps on wifi.

You don't find the ads in Windows 11 valuable?

400 pages of "rusty razor blades"

I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to a 3060ti. I'll move the 1070 into a different PC.

I just upgraded from a 1070 to a 3060ti. The numbers definitely did not justify a 4060ti.

I think some of their songs are Beatle-esque - e.g. "Don't Look Back in Anger."

When I first saw this picture 20 years ago it had less jpeg.

It does what you need it to do because it does everything. Podcast Addict is one of the most feature rich apps.

I don't use them myself but sort of get why people use dishwasher tablets, but laundry pods/tabs make zero sense to me. Not all loads are the same size.

For me it was too long. I finished it with all the DLC for the first time a few days ago. I generally enjoyed it but was also quite happy to be done with it when I finally finished it at around the 110 hour mark. I actually took a break after Hearts of Stone and played a couple of shorter games before I came back to finish off Blood and Wine.

I haven't yet played a single player game that I thought needed to be more than 60 hours no matter how engaging or well made it was.

Also in the US the medical industry still does a ton of faxing.
