2 although 6 is also pretty good from my experience.

There really is no competitor to Google Drive’s online collaborative document and slideshow editing right now. Apple and Microsoft have made some weak attempts but until their software works fully in a browser and is 100% free to get started, it won’t catch on. It not just about email.

His first term also started with restrictions on legal immigrants. But it’s much, much, much worse this time around.

Here’s a list of VR games I’d 1000% recommend:

• Half Life: Alyx
• I Expect you to Die (James Bond themed virtual escape rooms - 3 games in the series so far, all of them are good)
• Super Hot (slo-motion first person combat puzzle game)
• Beat Saber (a unique rhythm game)
• Pavlov (CS:GO but in VR with extensive modding support)

There are other good ones out there but that’s the list that justifies the headset to me.

Also there are some good VR ports of non-VR games out there such as Myst and The Talos Principle. Also there are some good Minecraft mods that add VR support (Java edition of course). Stay away from the Skyrim port though.

Ah good to know! I think I avoided picking it up before because I thought it required the New 3DS. I’ll look for it at my local game store next time I visit.

Wasn’t the remake of Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga New 3DS exclusive?

Proton is let Valve make an optimized Wine setup for you through Steam

Remote Desktop to iOS: I use moonlight/sunshine and it works great

Yeesh sounds like your monitors color output is badly calibrated :/. Fixing that requires an OS level calibration tool. I’ve only ever done this on macOS so I’m not sure where it is on Windows or Linux.

Also in general I wouldn’t use the non-hdr to hdr conversion features. Most of them aren’t very good. Also a lot of Linux distros don’t have HDR support (at least the one I’m using doesn’t).

I didn’t really understand the benefit of HDR until I got a monitor that actually supports it.

And I don’t mean simply can process the 10-bit color values, I mean has a peak brightness of at least 1000 nits.

That’s how they trick you. They make cheap monitors that can process the HDR signal and so have an “HDR” mode, and your computer will output an HDR signal, but at best it’s not really different from the non-HDR mode because the monitor can’t physically produce a high dynamic range image.

If you actually want to see an HDR difference, you need to get something like a 1000-nit OLED monitor (note that “LED” often just refers to an LCD monitor with an LED backlight). Something like one of these: https://www.displayninja.com/best-oled-monitor/

These aren’t cheap. I don’t think I’ve seen one for less than maybe $700. That’s how much it costs unfortunately. I wouldn’t trust a monitor that claims to be HDR for $300.

When you display an HDR signal on a non-HDR display, there are basically two ways to go about it: either you scale the peak brightness to fit within the display’s capabilities (resulting in a dark image like in OP’s example), or you let the peak brightness max out at the screen’s maximum (kinda “more correct” but may result in parts of the image looking “washed out”).

Can you not just brew install sshfs on a mac? (Assuming you’ve already installed Homebrew).

In the US if someone served me something like in the picture I’d call it a “crepe”. My expectation of a “pancake” is for it to be thicker (maybe like 1cm thick), and very fluffy (while a crepe is usually a bit crispy). However I’m not much of a cook so I don’t know if there are other differences between a “crepe” and a “pancake”.

I think I’ve heard “panqueques” in Spain

I like mainspring but I can’t get my corporate outlook account to work with it

lol I’m too used to DoE referring to Department of Energy I didn’t connect that it’s the same acronym.

The current admin is also attacking the department of energy because they do a lot of climate and renewable energy research. But that’s among many, many other things they do.

I hope whoever is considering cutting the DoE realizes that among the many, many things they do is nuclear weapons research

I will absolutely pick up other peoples trash if it’s somewhere like the wilderness. They should have picked it up themselves but I’m there now and that trash shouldn’t be there.

I was able to quiet mine with a bash script until eventually a software update changed the fan control to keep it quiet for me.

I should really just keyword filter all headlines with the word “slammed” in it.

There are advantages to getting server-grade hardware. It’s designed to run 24/7, often supports more hard drives, ram sticks, processors, etc, and often is designed to make it very quick to replace things when they break.

You can find used servers on sites like EBay for reasonable prices. They typically come from businesses selling their old hardware after an upgrade.

However, for simple home use cases, an old regular desktop PC will be just fine. Run it until it breaks!
