I buy my wife matching undies and bras.

It’s fun for me, she appreciates the new clothes and I pick out what I want to see her in / out of.

Win win.

hotdog

That app probably

Often times better… I have a 1080p 5.1 surround version of sg1. Prime has a 4:3 version with 2.0 audio, not to mention it’s super dark.

How many Linux people actually get the survey? I know I didn’t.

Gnome-disk-utility or “disks” in Linux will clone a partition and then restore it to another disk.

Pihole will log DNS requests. The requests come.from the TV. So when it pops up, Block it.

Nah unfortunately hardware transcode via igpu like quick sync on Intel is Plex pass only.

You should. It’s worth it

Source:have had it for ages.

Hw transcode and skip credits. (Plexamp used to be here too ) Makes it worth it imho

I would go wired… get a switch, run an Ethernet cable from the dorm wall to the switch then out from your switch to your PC.

That said the university is probably handling DHCP and dns… You could use a USB WiFi plug to generate a hotspot off your PC. if you wanted to run your own wifi…

But honestly the dorms WiFi with you using a VPN to a major service is probably easier everyday use wise.

Let me just say this… my college lost WiFi connectivity for about 2 months once when I was there.
The only people who had WiFi were the folks connected to the pirate wireless. Because folks were doing the wired device --> hotspot deal with their desktops.

So might not hurt to be prepared.

Also… The dns settings for your device… you should set those. If you use DNS from your university… It lets them control what you can and cannot see on the net.

Worked in the docudrama “the Flintstones”

But see you’re thinking about it the wrong way… Every one of those pirated copies is 100% a potential sale lost.

Won’t you think of the shareholders?

No ack in the trailer.

I’ll still wishlist it tho

It’s a visio.

Literally the cheapest 32inch TV that best buy had.

It’s absolutely unusable with the ads disabled.

Horrific television.

Pihole on your network… And block Internet access to the TV…

Tho… a while back the wife and I bought a dirt cheap 32 inch TV from bestbuy… it will literally turn itself on to deliver an advertisement if you power it off while in an app. (Skipping the home page)

Pihole crashes it.

We bought it for watching football outside so it’s unplugged for the majority of the year… but that’s still absolutely unacceptable. Imho

I’m not amd guy… I’ve used Intel and Nvidia for ages and ages… when my last upgrade failed hardware wise… I bought a Intel minipc from Beelink with an Intel ultra 5 125h.

It came with windows 11.

I’m a dad of a 1 yr old. who is playing stardew with his wife right now.

Ive formatted a handful of times to different Linux distros to see which felt better for me on this PC.

Manjaro, kubuntu, Debian, kde neon.

Currently I’m running kde neon. Out of the box it likes to reboot on updates… so I found a non-sudo needed cli command to fix that. (It’s a setting apparently in settings)

Anyway…l say all this to say… the way steam is now… and how graphics cards are… you can pretty well run what you want.

Granted it’s antidotal from me… But as long as you’re not buying the absolute latest stuff from a hardware vendor… You’d be fine.

If I was buying now I’d probably not buy the Intel chips that are having troubles but the gen before that… and probably some 3xxx Nvidia card.

And not hesitate to run any distro I wanted.

Ps I like apt… because that’s what I’m comfy with. So I tend to use distros that use apt. Tho manjaro is nice because of the aur… But they have issues company wise

I get many many emails from a website that specializes in gifts for spouses …

I unsubscribed from all… they doubled down. I unsubscribed again… and they Kept sending emails.

I flagged the entire domain as spam in Gmail and it all just goes to spam now.

Fuck all that noise

I wish Minecraft had an in game play counter… Well… I mean I’m glad it doesn’t but I kind of wish it did. I’ve been playing since 2011 or so…

I probably have more than a year in actual game time… lol

I juuuust retired a t420s recently… off lease computers are absolutely the way to go for buying new to you laptops.

Toss in a SSD and a Linux distro… and you’re good for 6-8 years imho

My wife did a cert class for data analytics and needed a work horse laptop. I bought her a used i7 Thinkpad from eBay.

It’s so damn fast… m2 drive 32 GB of ram it’s literally only limited in speed by the user input.

Just an amazing deal for $450

Edit it was a t14 gen 2.

I work for a small dev company. We have no idea what other silos are working on. Only 1-2 people at the very top have some sort of inkling… Maybe.

In a company that large… I don’t doubt that projects get filed under a very large encompassing epic (or the equivalent for what ever scrum software they are using) and not overly discussed with the business majors / marketing people that are the c-level people now.
