I’m very happy to inform you that I broke my system
I’m very happy to inform you that I broke my system
The first time was in Mass Effect 3, when Liara shows you her project in your cabin. For me, this was the first time in the trilogy where I felt that we could really lose the war against the reapers.
Another very good moment was in Life is Strange Before the Storm, when Chloe finds her dad’s car in the junkyard. That hit hard.
Windows becoming completely hostile towards power users.
I used to LOVE Windows, I even made fun of friends who were using Linux, which I only used on servers because I thought the desktop experience was sub par (and at the time it was, we’re talking 10-15 years ago). Then Windows 8 came and I stayed on 7 because the experience was bad. Then 10 came and data collection started getting out of control, so I had to jump through a bunch of hoops just to make it usable and “private enough”. Eventually things got so bad around 2019 that I realized that I was spending more time fixing that pile of crap than the average Arch user and I decided to give Linux a serious try.
I was somewhat annoyed by some UI/UX flaws but eventually I got used to it, and with the coming of Linux gaming I started using Windows less and less (it’s an AMD system so the Linux experience is excellent), eventually last year I realized that I hadn’t booted it in months so I just wiped that drive and started using it for games. I’ve also gotten a lot more paranoid about privacy and sandboxing proprietary software.
Now with Windows 11 things have gotten so bad that even my students are making fun of it so I don’t think I’ll be coming back.
Some crackers remove network features from apps but most leave them intact so YES, it will send your data to all of them.
I’ve also personally seen two people get threatened of legal action after installing a cracked copy of solidworks, the company used the cracked software as a trojan to get identifying information from their computers, so ALWAYS USE A FIREWALL.
Those look like the plasma widgets that come with KDE
What is this?
K-9 is simply the best email client on android, I’ve been using it since 2015
Power Francers - Pompo nelle Casse
It’s a very stupid song with lyrics that make no sense and are kinda hedonistic, and I hated it when it came out in 2010 because I felt that it somehow “promoted” that lifestyle, but it eventually grew on me and it brings me back to simpler times, now I get the irony of that song.
As much as I dislike Microsoft, back in 2015 I used Windows Phone 8.1 for about 6 months and I absolutely loved it, the UI was so smooth and polished, even on low end phones, until WP10 came out and it ran like trash and I went back to LineageOS.
Talos 2 is very promising in terms of gameplay, the first one is one of my favorite games and I played through it many times, and I’ve already played this demo 3 times.
This one is more ambitious, the environments are bigger, there’s more content, the art style is fantastic, BUT… I can’t help but feel a deep sense of technical jank that is shared by many players. The game is a constant state of desperately loading stuff and stuttering due to shader compilation, and you can feel all of it every time you turn around or walk in a new area. Even on ultra with native upscaling, the game only looks good if you stay still, as soon as you move you get smears from every object, the grass stops moving, you can clearly see problems with lighting like shimmering and bleeding, the water and vegetation have no physics whatsoever (the first one at least had water ripples), and despite using raytraced AO they’re still using those horrible screenspace reflections (the first one had actual reflections). To top it all off, settings don’t always apply correctly until you restart the game, and sometimes the game reverts them to whatever it feels more appropriate for your hardware with no indication whatsoever that it’s happened. I’ve yet to see an UE5 game that doesn’t have these issues, that engine just… doesn’t look good in motion. To quote AVGN, it feels like driving an old beat up car, you’re always afraid it’s going to break down.
Also, one of the developers said they don’t want to support Linux, not even through Proton, then another one said they’ll try to get it to work. Get your shit together, the first one had a native port!
This is based on my experience with a 5800x, and a 6900xt, in 1440p, so your mileage may vary and I know they’re hard at work to improve the situation.
So yeah, respect for croteam for making what it’s undoubtedly going to be a great puzzle game, but shame on them if they release it in this state.
I like EDM and electronic music so I just leave the radio on with Tomorrowland One World Radio while I work. I also browse sites like beatport and look at their charts and if I find something I like I check out other people are buying, sometimes I pirate, sometimes I buy if I want to support a small label or a lesser known artist.
Got myself an Eaton as many of you suggested. The fan is noisy af but I can probably replace it, other than that it’s perfect.
It’s always sad to see users being mistreated like this but what never ceases to amuse me is the amount of time that Windows users are willing to waste in order to remove all this trash from their systems and have a usable experience, only for it to be ruined again with something worse with the next update. At this point, they either don’t know that alternatives exist or they have Stockhom syndrome or something.
I used to do that A LOT and you can still find all my old guides on my website as a testament to that, they were soooo long, it took hours to do a “clean install”, they took days to write, and even then I would run into so many issues because of Windows Update… One day I realized that I was doing more work to make Windows usable than the average Arch user and I just gave up. Linux wasn’t ready for gaming yet so I had to dual boot for a while, but thankfully that’s not a problem anymore. I couldn’t be happier.
I got it in May 2022 after going to the dentist. Symptoms came after 2 days, similar to a cold. I just took something for the fever and I was back in action in about 2 days. The flu I got last year was way worse than covid.
I like wearing my wetsuit when I’m alone, sometimes I even sleep in it. I like the look and feel of neoprene.
It’s doable, just follow the installation guide meticulously and read the page about nvidia drivers first. The wiki is excellent.
If you’re worried that you might end up with a broken system, try installing it in a VM first until you’re familiar witht the whole process, or try an intermediate distro like manjaro or endeavouros that have an automatic installer and will sort out driver issues for you.
Yeah, kind of. I doubt they analyze what you say on it but they could do it, technically.
I would recommend using a self-hosted instance if you can, it’s very easy to set up with docker.
From neutral to ground there seems to be just some noise and a bit of DC.
Yes, I tried different outlets, doesn’t make a difference. I checked the wiring inside the plug too, the connection seems solid.
I tested live to ground, live to neutral, both in and out of the UPS, and I couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary.
The input signal isn’t a clean sine wave but it’s not dirty either, I’d say it’s sine with some extra harmonics and a little bit of noise. There were no sudden peaks or meaningful variations even while the UPS was switching furiously.
I don’t have CFL bulbs, only LEDs. I can’t think of anything else that could be causing interference. I’ll try contacting the power company as suggested by @glimse@lemmy.world
Thanks for all the replies.
It’s ok, I did a backup with clonezilla before trying it of course :) But thanks for the help
