Bottom pic was my experience when I brought an old family laptop back from the dead. It had a broken hinge that made the built in keyboard and main body peel apart. It would take forever to do anything, especially after it “upgraded” to Windows 11.

Wiped the os to put Linux Mint on it, plugged in a usb keyboard and it’s been doing great since!

I’ll have to give it a watch, thanks!

They’ve been playing around with it, like how they did The Wizard of Oz at the sphere in Vegas. The original aspect ratio was legit but everything in the periphery is heavy AI.

Steam is cool and all but I think I’m going to go with GOG a lot more going forward.

And I’ll never stop buying discs for consoles

The blackmail photos of every embarrasing moment you can remember…and plenty that you don’t

This reminds me of a certain someone

The most memorable videos are the ones you can’t forget if you wanted to

Right there’s people you see on the range with tricked out rifles with hand picked components, and then there’s mall ninja bubba open carrying four pistols at the food court

There’s so many optics and rails and lights and slings and suppressors and triggers and grips out there. People that get into it spend a ton of time min maxing their setups for competition, home defense, long range or whatever else suits their fancy

And that’s just the guns themselves. But there is a difference betweem gun nerd and gun nut as others have said

Many current gun owners aren’t affected by what is going on, and the people that are affected haven’t decided to become gun owners so far.

If you’re an american citizen you (yes you!) have gun rights just like you have any other right. You don’t need to be a car person to safely use a car, or a tech wizard to use your phone. You can have essential equipment and skill with firearms and still be a normal person.

I’m paraphrasing but Deviant Ollam once said owning and knowing how to use a gun is the difference between being peaceful and being helpless

“I don’t use AI”

I’m not against them, but I wonder how EVs will hold up in the long haul. Like in 20 years will there even be a feasible used market or will the batteries and motors be too shitty without a crazy expensive replacements to keep them practical?

And then there’s the scrapping process for batteries too. Can batteries be refurbished, scrapped or recycled in a way that most regions can do it?

Like LEDs I know they CAN be built to last a long time, but I know companies often don’t

This is the full context of the quote for anyone curious like I was.
