  • My son has a gaming laptop that is plugged in constantly. I vaguely remember reading that all modern laptops protect the battery to some degree, though not sure how. I'm guessing it is by using the mains while charging. Not sure what the damage is to a battery that is constantly fully charged.

  • I'm confused why men still wear suits. They look like school uniforms to me, and make men look like overgrown school kids.

    Women have far more choice, and the equivalent clothing items on when would be considered too casual. Time this shit changed.

  • I wear whatever the fuck I want. I once had a sort of boss (not a line manager just a coordinator. Our team were all contractors and didn't really report to one person as such). She saw me crossing the office one day and pulled me aside to tell me I had to wear a shirt and tie from now on. Anyway, I just said "nope", and walked off.

    She had been trying shit like this on our team for a while and we knew we could just ignore her about this stuff. Still satisfying though.

  • Any solution we come up with can probably be used to just decide the answer anyway.

    How about, every player puts in a token to say I'm going to play. Then every player plays an encrypted answer. Once every player has answered they each reveal the key to unlock their answer to every player. Everyone then sees the overall answer at the same time.

  • The risk of a pair collision should be mitigated by all pairings being random. And both pairs announce they pair with so that they can't lie.

    But collusion is possible if they happen to pair with another cheater which is not guaranteed unless every is a cheater.

  • Could you do it in 2 phases? First, everyone selects a random partner and exchanges their random number. Each pair then has a result that is locked in. Then everyone submits their result to be summed up as already suggested (Pos/neg = heads/tails).

    If there are an uneven number of players, then one player makes a three-some.

  • I desperately want a simple GUI for setting the sample and bit rates for my audio input device. Mine is a Focusrite 2i2 gen 3, but there should be a fairly universal way to do this in Pipewire.

  • I haven't considered pirating VST's. My only issue with pirating DRM protected stuff is the risk of having viruses injected into them.

    NowTV is the streaming service Sky provide in the UK and this is where I watch the Formula 1. There are no working extensions of hacks for it that I've found so far.

  • Grapejuice and vinegar were working but Roblox disabled the use of Wine again recently so those don't work anymore. Apparently it gets used for cheats (I somehow doubt there are enough linux user in the first place for it to matter, let alone linux users that want to cheat).

    Office 365 in the browser is ok,a nd I've used it, but still not quite right.

  • In the UK I think it depends how much you torrent, how often, and who your ISP is. I'm pretty sure the big main ISPs all have to be vigilant and tell their customers off for doing it. I use a small ISP, and I set my upload speed to 10Mbits and my download to half my max bandwidth. I don't seed a library of stuff just whatever is being downloaded, then I stop. So yes. I'm a leech and have been for years. No VPN. However we only torrent when we can't get something on a service we already pay for so not more than 3 times a week.

    tl;dr - in the UK use a small ISP and stay below the radar and you'll be fine.
