I’m all for replaceable batt but it is usually at the expense of being more costly and/or less water proof.

Misha (ring youtuber/racer) recently drove a Xantia with the active suspension and said it was the best handling ever. And he has driven some exotics…

Haha sorry I’m not David! Been following his work for a while, great channel.

Most silly excuse was my boss refusing to install Linux because he just had a friend give him original windows 98se licenses for the PCs we just bought for the company.

Well it gets less silly thinking that getting the eprom programmer software and orcad 4 working on Linux was probably impossible.

Then it was outright the best decision ever, because those machines never required a reinstall and worked flawless for the 5 years I was there working. Never understood the bad rep W98Se had. Never used it on my personal rigs of course.

Pong, Tetris, Pac-Man, Minecraft, and petcii robots.

Did the interview room have a big black couch?

Remote work looks like that thanks to covid. Before that, nobody wanted to see your face, maybe share the screen and that’s it. It was a beautiful time. No tracking, no meetings, no stupid dailies, just pure self organized efficiency.

My kid (13) surprised me the other day and said he wanted to try Linux. He has seen me forever using it and got scared about W10 getting hacked or something so thought of trying it out.

I handed over to him my Fedora 43 (KDE plasma) install USB drive and once installed the problems began.

The monitor couldn’t be set to native resolution, and Steam didn’t want to run. Turns out that there is no wayland compatibility with the Radeon Polaris RX480. What a bummer, that card is perfectly fine for what he does on his PC.

We tried with the cinnamon version and that is working fine. He even has roblox running.

Tl;Dr: Wayland isn’t compatible with older hardware that most casual windows users are mostly going to be using.

Tell them to wait and save resources, earthlings are doing a great job destroying themselves.

Simbin’s GTR2002 was an amazing mod of EA’s F1 game. Great online racing and the added hotlap ranking from Find the Limit.

Many hours invested and IRC friends made. Got to race Gregor Huttu and had some of his setups ;)

I can start by saying that I’m a tech “guy”. The evolution was simple: Puzzles, Lego, bikes, model R/C cars/planes, computers, motorcycles then cars. Add to that motorcycles and cars give you freedom of movement to go anywhere anytime in a whim, it is difficult to not geek about them.

Then, during a brief period of my life I lived in a big (for me) city and had to use the public transport and it was horrible. This only exacerbated my dreams of owning a motor vehicle. Car magazines helped fuel these dreams.

My dad loved sports cars, that didn’t help the addiction ;)

Cook at home mostly. Every now and then maybe every two weeks we go out. And twice a week I send the kids to get kebab or pizza at the plaza in town. Never have had anything “cooked” delivered… because no such service where I live.

Me thinks this is funnier where universal healthcare doesn’t exist

Pre-teen is the worst age for this. Just try to get your kid past this the best you can. Happens everywhere, eventually they will mature and learn.

Heck, this is always the plot in school movies.

Besides that it is safer, I don’t hit my front splitter on the curb.

A typical hamburger is about 500 kcal so you would have to go up those stairs 100 times to burn it off in theory.

But science is now saying that burning off calories isn’t related to excersise… you burn the same amount doing or not doing physical activity. So I don’t know if this is relevant anymore.

In the region of Albacete (Spain) we have a similar word… and no, it’s not related to the video game giant:

Ea.

37.5 hour work week

should have gone to Mahjong’s Pizza, you would have got a lower APR

Not sure in Linux, could be a driver or kernel configuration. I don’t know a way to double check it. When booting into windows it’s at x16. So not a hardware or bios issue.
