Does Windows not run the originals anymore? My original copy of the Sims 2 works perfectly fine in Wine so it's not like it depends on some weird online service or something

I bought one last summer and the only problems I've had were some display issues which were solved by adding kernel parameters to disable all of the amdgpu power management (which as far as I can tell doesn't even increase power usage noticeably). Other than that it has been basically perfect and way better than any other laptop I've had. I wish it had real suspend, but that's just not possible on modern CPUs so that's not Framework's fault

Well yeah, the full saying is "Don't tread on me, tread on ukraine instead". They just shortened it

Yeah you can only use each piece of information once so you need to constantly discover new obscure facts

If you're missing the hard drive rails for an iBook G3 (500MHz late 2001, unsure if this is true for other revisions) so you just use some paper to stop the drive from shorting out the motherboard then you need to be careful if the drive tilts towards the front of the laptop because it gets caught on a transistor under the paper and would probably snap it off the board if you pushed too hard.

That's verifiably true information that's probably never been posted online before, so all you need to do is verify that it's true with your own hardware and then prove that it did not exist anywhere before this comment and then you'll prove I'm not a bot.

This should be how captchas work from now on and someone has to manually verify and approve you I bet that would be super fast and reliable

They used to have friends and family but they have now become hotdogs

I mean yeah but you don't need an expensive computer to play games. In the mid 2010s I spent loads of time playing games on my ~$200 something Asus netbook, and more recently I was using an old Dell Precision from 2011 I got for $25 and put a $75 GPU into from like 2018 until 2023.

I guess maybe the difference is that people who don't buy expensive consoles or computers also don't buy expensive games. For the most part I don't buy things unless they have a sale for like under $30, so even though I've bought a lot of games I've probably paid less total money for games than the average console player.

Huh, I'm kind of surprised that's a new thing. I would assume way more people own computers than consoles in modern times so you would think that would always mean more sales

Shapeshifting, I will take no questions

Huh, chatgpt seems to do this for all games

I like my Logitech G502, you can customize everything and turn off RGB with Piper on linux and I think it meets all your listed requirements

If you can milk an almond, surely you can milk a cheese

I mean it is also hairless, I don't see any hair

I would guess because it sounds kind of like blade just spelled differently

I don't get the point of companies hiding everything they're working on until it's done. It seems like if they just showed what they were working on as it developed they would have more hype when it released and also get feedback along the way so they would be less likely to release a product that fails

I wonder if this means they'll release a linux version of their software so the steam deck can control the RGB

Really? For me if I don't select a proton version it just uses the default, I've never seen it try to run a windows binary directly. Do I have some like secret extra setting enabled?

I'm not sure how underrated it is but the exec feature in find is so useful, there are so many bulk tasks that would just be incredibly difficult otherwise but instead are just one line

Interesting, I would absolutely hate using something like that for actual use but it does seem like it could be useful for like demonstrations and documentation

The filename rules are so weird, it's not just illegal characters, sometimes the position of the character matters. I discovered a while ago that while windows has no problem with dots in filenames, for some reason they can never be the last character in the name
