It's a gossip/social media story from the South China Morning Post. Don't know who is worse, the people who make up nonsense like this on social media, or those who reshare this to keep the gossip going.

Synology NAS, Wifi 6 router and Plex have been a fantastic life upgrade for me.

How fucked up 😞

Plastic is stored in the balls? Then where has the pee gone?

I used the right analogy stick back in the day for acceleration and braking. That worked well too.

Pressure sensitive PS2 controllers did need full pressure on the button actually.

The Linux community really lives up to the meme sometimes.

It's all about finding the distro that works for you. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Mailbox.org with my own custom domain (firstname@surname.co.uk) and Thunderbird for an email client.

I would highly recommend it. It is cheap and includes almost a complete replacement for Google services (email, contacts, calendar, online drive, etc).

Please consider your privacy. Giving all you emails to Google (or other mainstream data harvesters) basically gives them deep info about your whole life (purchases, travel, communication....everything).

Having a custom domain let's you go to any provider you like if you want to switch.

It is far from getting to that point. That will happen when it becomes mainstream enough to attract normies. Lemmy could still use a lot of growth. I only get to consume content that happens to be available here, rather than being able to pick niche communities being active on the topics I would like.

A 128 or 256 GB SSD or NVME drive costs £10 to £15 on eBay used. I would buy one and put Windows on it when sending back for warranty repair. OP should actually just do this for the BIOS update and then swap out the SSD back to the Linux one after.

I'm told it is not just for ink convenience. Apparently the printer needs to be connected to the internet and stops working if you stop paying the subscription, which you are locked into.

I would have gone AMD in the first place if this happened at the time of my purchase.

Oh well. Upgrade time is going to be a long way away. My last gaming PC served me well for almost 10 years before I did an in socket upgrade.

That's why I went this route 🫤

The loading and buffering times in that app make it useless to me. I'd rather just listen on NewPipe or Freetube.

Their laptops are good. But the company is shitty.

That being said, they're still thriving for a reason. I was trying to convince my cousin to get rid of his HP subscription printer and he won't. He says it is cheap and easy to pay the subscription and his school aged kids can print the colour pictures they want when they remember they had an assignment at midnight. He just gets ink replacement posted to his house before he runs out and he says it works out great for him.

I recently built a 12th Gen PC, expecting an upgrade to 13th Gen will be a cheap and significant upgrade path soon. Now there isn't going to be any way to know if a second-hand CPU is damaged in this way.

Super Meat Boy - Ballad of the burning squirrel

Super Meat Boy - Forest Funk

Super Meat Boy - Betus Blues

The composer for Super Meat Boy has done lots of great tracks for Binding of Isaac and Crypt of the Necrodancer too (Danny Baranowsky)

Enter the Gungeon - Abbey or Die

Enter the Gungeon - Behold the Boss Eater

Enter the Gungeon - Boss Battle Beating

Metal Gear solid theme

Nine Sols - Collage

Hades soundtrack (all of it) + if you search for the composer (Darren Korb) then you'll find loads more great soundtracks he's done (notably for Bastion).

Hollow Knight soundtrack (all of it + the piano cover version)

Street Fighter 6 - Viator (theme for Ryu + there's a real cool metal cover that is on YouTube by an indie metal band)

Wipeout HD soundtrack (all of it)

Super Hexagon (all 3 tracks)

Hotline Miami soundtrack

Dead Cells

Lots of people have rightly mentioned FTL

Frank Kelpacki has done tons of great soundtracks across the whole Command and Conquer series and it's worth searching through.

If you're into chip tunes, then it is also worth checking out Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm really into video game instrumentals. If anyone else is interested, there's a great podcast called Sound of Gaming by BBC radio 3 that is worth going through the back catalogue of episodes.

You missed some great ones:

Promanade of the Condemned

Prison Rooftop

Formerly Known as Assassin

The Castle

Hand of the King

The whole soundtrack is one banger after another. The two best are Clocktower and Hand of the King.

It becomes an AI war. They will use AI to make ads to get around the AI blocking. The ads will end up looking very similar to the content.
