Same. It’s a shame. I started following Linus since the GT 400 series in 2010, in the NCIX days. Bought my first graphics card under his advice (an MSI GT460 Cyclone). I always appreciated his consumer first approach to reviews, and found his ambition and entrepreneurial spirit inspiring. Watching his company grow from the ground up was very exciting and I was always happy to see the next stage of LMG unfold. Watching him move into the house and make the kitchen set, do the whole room water cooling, and then the warehouse (to name a few) have been really exciting milestones that I’ll never forget.

The past few years have been different. He’s started to become quite the narcissist, and it’s been weird watching him try to defend his awful hot takes on WAN show. It’s bizarre watching him never admit fault or admit that something that he’s done was wrong. Even in the most petty of objections, like a stupid contest on Channel Super Fun. I’m pretty sure he’s won every contest he’s been in - the race against Emily in the tech support challenge, all (I think) of the scrapyard wars he was in, and pretty much anything else that comes to mind. I always found that to be kind of pathetic for the CEO/leader of a company. I’ve always wondered if that kind of mentality bled into other aspects of his leadership.

I’ve mostly stopped consuming their content but occasionally I’ll watch a couple of their videos. I’m not sure if I’m going to cut them out cold turkey but I think I’ll take a break at least until the dust settles. Certainly, if/when Emily returns I would really like to support her.

If it’s not running Linux could one not just… install Linux? I wouldn’t be surprised if drivers were out before long.

Installation is fairly painless. It’s set and forget for the most part.

People don’t need to log in using your google account. Anyone with an account (can be several other types of authentication, not just google) can have access to any of your servers, you just have to share it with them.

I watched one by accident a few weeks ago. It was the audio that threw me off. You could hear people chatting. But the video looked not half bad - I figured it had just been transcode poorly or something.

The most important thing about learning math is the learning. It’s kind of like reading. Will you ever use reading in your life? Not always. But will it make you a more well rounded, interesting person? Probably.

Don’t get me wrong, there are countless applications of math that our society relies on for peace prosperity and health, but that shouldn’t be the motivation to learning math. That should be a government’s incentive to investing in good math education.

Being good at math means you are a good problem solver, have grit, and know how to work hard at something. It also means you’re probably not afraid of memorizing a few things, which is actually a good thing. As a math teacher (and someone with 10 years of math education myself) I have not yet met anybody who is good at math and didn’t have to work very hard at it. There is no faking being good at math.

So many average Joes use ABP. They should use ublock origin, but they’re average Joes.

Could have been the db software you were running with it. It’s best to do that externally with something like mariadb. Not trying to convince you, just in case others are trying to make a decision between vm or docker.

Cool! I’ll give it a shot.

Unraid and the *arr stack works really really well.

If it’s a company name or a band or something then I’ll say zee. But acronyms like ZFS are always zed.

Playing games with an element of chance is not the same as gambling.

No but sometimes I do the opposite. If someone responds to me answering a difficult question I was stumped by, or has linked to something I find cool I’ll check their profile to see if they’ve posted anything else that’s cool.

Correct, it was a typo that I have since corrected.

I love me some privacy but have always been skeptical of Tor because I am afraid that I am acting as a relay for CSAM, which, even if encrypted I am not okay with.

Is that fear unfounded? To be honest I don’t really know how Tor works aside from some broad strokes.

If that’s a problem then I don’t want to be solved.

Don’t large services have many duplicates/caches spread across the globe to balance load and reduce latency? Couldn’t this be seen as a positive? It could also be seen as a redundancy layer.

Do you have a credit card on your account?

Hah I didn’t know that. I was a mac user at the time and Portal was the first game I bought on steam. I had a normal mouse though.

If people are running steam games through chromeos then yeah, count it! I would also count windows for ARM as windows…

What are you talking about? You could take a car, a motorcycle, a taxi, an Uber, a bus, you name it!
