- Comment on why dont android phones have a bios like computers and be able to load a generic arm linux iso or windows one,or be easily rooted? 1 day ago:
I understand that. It’s just that this entire argument doesn’t qualify. The OS has no out of spec influence over the modem due to its design. Its entirely self-contained component with its own firmware and driver stack. The OS is at the mercy of the modem’s firmware and that firmware prevents this exact scenario described.
- Comment on W10 EoL and possibly switching to Linux (various tech questions) 1 day ago:
Steam makes OS unique modifications to the game, trying to share the same game drive between them causes an update war and corruption.
I’ve tried it a few times, never goes well long term. Generally, I partition the drive and only use windows for problematic games like pubg.
Also, if you enjoy workshop features in games with a native Linux version like Left4Dead 2 or Garry’s mod. I would recommend you force the windows version by selecting proton in the compatibility section under properties for that game. Some workshop mods don’t play nice on Linux and its like playing whack-a-mole solving it.

Something I want to tag on for anyone pondering this.
Steam on Linux will be unstable if you try to use your NTFS drive for games. As the support of the filesystem isn’t consistent.

That’s a bit of a huge stretch.
People can load custom operating systems on their computer all they want without turning their wifi and Bluetooth adapter into a two way software defined radio.
- Comment on why not all laptops and PCs charging/working via usb c yet,instead of whatever bs charger they make? 2 days ago:
You got me curious, looks like it became a standard in 2021. Pretty old for a performance laptop but I’d imagine that it took awhile for the manufacturers to catch up. Thanks

That’s a goofy design choice.
The standard is capable of 240w

One cigarette a month is probably a reasonable limit.

- Comment on Who remembers when you needed a separate "Download Manager" to handle concurrent downloads? 1 week ago:
I remember downloads having 40+ rar files so you didn’t need to restart the entire download.

I’d like to see them remaster unity but with a proper co-op experience for the entire game.

- Comment on Is there any good free tutorials/courses that cover setup and administration of websites and web apps? 2 weeks ago:
You’re probably interested in full stack and infrastructure.
Look for resources on how to securely manage a Linux server (ssh, hardening, backups, VPS management). How to securely work with Apache and NodeJS. ( Scaling, TLS configuration, data sanitization). (Just examples of tools feel free to explore your options)
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has a great deal of freely accessible learning resources. Give this a look through.

- Comment on Whats the best way to clean up 15 years of stuff around the house? 2 weeks ago:
If you’re not too concerned about value. Check around your community for estate sales. Wonder around them if you like the vibe as if you can hire them for your situation.
Generally they do a decent job organizing and protecting family photos and such.
- Comment on Not up to snuff on all the medical disection stuff. But can a 42 year old overweight heavy beer drinker donate his semi fatty liver? 3 weeks ago:
The medical protocol varies by region. Generally speaking, it’s considered a violation of their oath to knowingly transplant diseased organs or leave a patient with a diminished capacity to thrive. (Such as donating a lobe to a family member when you’re still alive.)
In the event of an emergency donation such as brain death. Special considerations will be taken, they may deem the liver to be suitable for transplantation after a battery of tests.
- Comment on Is there a culture/country that doesn't have sarcasm in its language? 3 weeks ago:
There is a constructed language that I suspect is free from sarcasm. (At least if it’s used formally)

- Comment on I have a rasberry pi 5 collecting dust, what are some neat useful things i can do with it? 3 weeks ago:
If you have access to someone with a 3d or can find the parts online; you could build a gameboy with it.
- Comment on How would you describe that post sneeze smell? 3 weeks ago:
Get that checked out.
Only time I have a post sneeze smell is when I have a nosebleed about to start.
- Comment on How can I find out what graphics card upgrade is compatible with my system? 3 weeks ago:
The thought just hit me if you’re playing with prime-select. It may have been using your integrated graphics instead for the window manager. Glad you got it solved either way.

Slice it up into small pieces, throw it on a pan with some diced onion and potatoes. Good time
- Comment on Is there a decent video compressor like compressing from like 4k to 720p? Quality not an issue. I am used to watching cams when movies come out. Just size downward. 3 weeks ago:
I like the Internet Friendly Media Encoder. Works on most computers and it’s got lots of useful features and presets so you don’t need to think too hard.

I get my blueberry craving by mixing blueberry jam with Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream.

Did any of you change your controls to use the dpad for navigation in 007 golden eye? My friends called me a psycho for it.
- Comment on Why does google decide to log people out of all their google accounts all at once with no warning? 3 weeks ago:
Technically, you’re not allowed to have multiple Google accounts from their perspective. So the tooling isn’t setup for it. You’re probably also looking like a bot to them.
I’d suggest using the profile feature in Firefox so you can configure different contexts based on your needs such as a personal, uni and spam profile.
They also sell a hardware authentication device that might help simplify matters. It’s called a Titan Security Key. You would need to research it to find out if it’ll support being bound to multiple accounts.

jerky cursor” problems
Are you using the nvidia drivers and have your monitor connected to the gpu?
The 980 should be more than capable of a fully functional desktop experience, so after cleaning the dust it may have just been a heating issue.
- Comment on How can I find out what graphics card upgrade is compatible with my system? 4 weeks ago:
Just a heads up. I would strongly suggest you don’t recommend an ARC GPU on a motherboard missing rebar support. It’s critical for them to run correctly.
- Comment on How can I find out what graphics card upgrade is compatible with my system? 4 weeks ago:
3rd gen i7 platform will be your major bottleneck.
If the prices for ram weren’t insane right now I’d suggest a whole new build depending on what games you’re hoping to play.
Don’t go with ARC as it’s not compatible with that motherboard. You need resizable bar support and ideally an x8 pcie gen4 lane or better.
Since you’re rocking Linux I would suggest sticking to AMD graphics.
What PSU are you using and games/software would you like to run better?
The 980 is pretty good for most purposes outside of modern games.
I’d suggest a new SSD and redoing the thermal paste on the cpu. Clean up the dust too.
