Ironically, I've had more issues with CK3 natively than running through Valves Wine flavour.
When running natively, using the Vulkan renderer it gets stuck initializing, and when using OpenGL it stutters. Using Proton and DXVK it is butter smooth.
These days there's also Lithium ion AA batteries, with different voltages. You can get them downvolted to anything from 1.5 to 1.8V.
The ones over 1.5V are commonly used in applications with electronic motors, since it allows you to effectively overdrive the toy or whatever it is you're powering.
I remember senior housing when my grandparents were alive and moving to them. They all looked and felt like waiting rooms for the dead. Except for the rich people ones.
Piastri really surprised me. He was hyped up so much, I thought it was just another setup for disappointment.
In recent memory, I can't think of many drivers with a better rookie season so far, apart from all time greats like Max, Lewis. He's consistent and trading blows with an acclaimed experienced driver like Lando.
Even if you don't end up using it, if it enables more users to find their way to Lemmy, we all benefit.
I never really clicked with Sync for reddit, and trying it for Lemmy, all the acknowledgements and agreeing with privacy policy really rubs me the wrong way for a Fediverse client. But if it works for others I'm all for it.
I'm not convinced. I think a lot more people are susceptible to getting distracted than there are susceptible to extreme acts of violence.
Your stated good use cases can easily be performed after/outside of classes. And I would say in this day and age should be part of assignments/homework/studying in high school level education to guide and educate young people in filtering, identifying and assessing source materials better. But that's asking a lot from teachers, who are not experts at this, either.
I don't see how any of this discussion relates to funding though.
I got the cheaper F1 subscription for exactly this purpose as well.
However, they put a 48h delay on replay availability in my location, so I was forced to upgrade.
Now that they're hosting more events in countries with very questionable human and social rights (many nations in the Middle East and one in the Americas), I've decided to stop supporting F1 directly and I'm spending the money on tickets to my local GP and pirating the rest of the season.
Just FYI, when your drive is encrypted, and the system is up and running, the keys for the encryption are in memory and thus recoverable. And even if they were magically protected by something like SGX or a some secure enclave, you can still interact with the machine and the filesystem while it is running.
So full disk encryption is NOT a silver bullet to data protection when being raided.
For many reasons. Nvidia requiring secure boot in this case, which is not available for all distros or kernels on all computers.
The other is requiring a workable kernel module and user space component from Nvidia, which means that as soon as Nvidia deprecates your hardware, you're stuck with legacy drivers, legacy kernels, or both.
Nvidia also has it's own separate userspace stack, meaning it doesn't integrate with the whole DRM & Mesa stack everyone else uses. For the longest time that meant no Wayland support, and it still means you're limited to Gnome only on wayland when using Nvidia AFAIK.
Another issue is switcheable graphics. Since systems with switchable graphics typically combine a Mesa based driver stack (aka everyone but Nvidia, but typically this would be AMD or Intel integrated graphics) with an Nvidia one, it involves swapping out the entire library chain (OpenGL or Vulkan or whatever libraries). This is typically done by using ugly hacks (wrapper scripts using LD_PRELOAD for example) and are prone to failure. Symptoms can be anything as mild as everything running on the integrated graphics, the discrete graphics never sleeping causing poor battery life or high power consumption, to booting to a black screen all or some of the time.
If these things don't bother you or you have no idea what these things mean, or you don't care about them or your hardware lasting more than 3-5y then it probably isn't a big deal to you. But none of the above exist when using Intel, AMD or a mix of those two.
In my experience the past twenty years, proprietary drivers are the root cause of I would say 90% of my issues using Linux.
Why not? They already do for the vast majority of this stuff. It's not that much and releases of these things are structured and indexed everywhere anyway.
Depends on your lifestyle and game choices. I have both (and a desktop PC). I would say 97% of my gaming is on the gaming laptop, and the remainder is split evenly.
Handheld is cool but often lacks good ergonomics for longer sessions, as well as limited GPU power. Desktop is obviously "the best" but for my games, my gaming laptop is good enough for 100+ fps so why bother going to my office and booting up the desktop?
The only time my laptop is not good enough is VR simracing, but that's not a power problem, it's just a matter of having all my simracing stuff hooked up to the desktop already.
Laptop beats handheld in screen size, power, compatibility, and controls for me.
Donut in general has gone downhill, but that's another topic.
I followed King & Blackstock on Twitter before that place went to shit, and I enjoyed their content there.
But whenever I listen to DRS I just end up turning it off in annoyance. They barely talk about racing and F1, instead they talk about themselves, Twitter jokes, Nascar or Indycar, or the Instagram posts of F1 drivers.
I have no doubt they know a lot about F1, but the show is not for me.
