There were some old PCI cards that were very badly designed, and they required things plugged into them from inside the case, or they needed to plug into things on the motherboard. I had card that controlled Cold cathode tube lighting that could also connect to audio to sync to the music that worked that way

But, the actual answer is that the grommets are for old-school water-cooling.

The feds should not be supporting private business by harming the worker.

Not since I was kicked out at 15 for being gay.

Happy Pride month!

Have you looked into Mint?

The linux mint forums make it seem like it works out of the box. I know that it worked out of the box for my Thinkpad x380, even the touchscreen, pen, and screen rotation.

by “client” do you mean “just use a browser”?

It might have been part of the divorce, selling the house and splitting the profits.

This is “ask Lemmy”, what is the question?

Before Markus starting saying racist shit, or Q-anon shit, or anti-trans shit.

Generally through lack of funding, especially in areas like healthcare.

Doesn’t Steam keep up with the amount of time people have played their games? Or is it up to the individual games to track that?

Steam does keep track of play time, but I am not sure what playtime has to do with my comment.

They don’t say how they come to that number in the article, so I assume they are using non-sale prices. I know that I’ve gotten some bundles of games in the past that were 95%+ off, which I bought just for the one game because it was the same price or cheaper.

If you’re trying to format a picture, you need to leave 2 spaces at the end of a line for a line break.

Wow… Is there any org that doesn’t protect its pedos

One that have people outside their walls that check-up on them.

Public schools often do what they can to prevent/remove sex criminals. Being alone with a child in an area out of view may get you in trouble.
Law firms, and least in Canada, remove people very quickly. The Law societies will get you.

And once again, I have heard of police and military trying to protect pedos/rapists in their ranks, but not firefighters.

Our power in Sask is dirty enough that burning gas in the home is better for the environment than using electricity for water tanks. 500% heat pumps would be better in theory, but they’re not good enough for our winters yet, and the financial costs still aren’t in their favour.

29% of the power being generated is coal as I type this comment.

Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.

Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn’t just marketing on computers.

It’s wild because it’s not true. Look up McCartney’s Howard Stern interview, or the book he wrote. They spoke on the phone after this.

If you would like to propose it to them or provide the code, they are the admins of Lemmy.ml and here’s the github: https://github.com/LemmyNet

Because the lemmy software doesn’t do a curated feed, and there isn’t one “front page”. There are 57 options for what you see when you first log in, depending on what you chose in your https://lemmy.ca/settings.

You can only change it for yourself by changing it to subscribed, or changing it to all. https://lemmy.ca/settings

Compared to other social media sites, lemmy doesn’t curate/manipulate in the “feed”. This is both good and bad. Because .ca isn’t just Canadians, but every instance we are linked to, whatever communities from here that get a little traction globally will poison the feed.

It order to fix that, .ca would need to limit what kinds of communities can be made on this instance. They do this with the no porn/bigotry rule, but that’s still not very specific. There is also the issue of a small number of people on the platform creating 50+ communities, not doing anything with them, not even making a single post. This poisons looking for new communities.
They could decide to change the rules and remove a bunch of communities, but I assume the admins discussed this, coming to the conclusion that it would drive a large amount of people away.
