I thought you could just mutter terrorism under your breath and then say 9/11 and stick them in a cell forever.

- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 5 weeks ago:
Yes and the reason is because millions of lines of production code were written and it isn’t worth rewriting them.
Plenty of languages around now that don’t have 30 years of baggage and the specter of Oracle hanging over it.
Now a days many businesses choose Go.

I’ve been saying this. I’m curious to see who wins out. In this case it’s populist bullshit vs American coffee retailers. Let’s see who comes out on top.

My one plus can charge 0 to 100 in about that time.
It does this by moving some of the charging circuit into the charger and having 2 cells in the battery.

Is it just my hardware? It is not your hardware

Is it my fault? Not really
The main issue from what I can tell is you are trying to play older windows games which can be pretty hit or miss.
Gaming on Linux has greatly improved over the last couple years (especially thanks to proton/steam deck) but if you are trying to run older games that were never designed to run to it or you want to play online games with aggressive anti-cheat it is still going to be a bit of a struggle.
I would recommend sticking to an Arch based distro like EndeavourOS (as it is similar to the SteamOS) or a Debain based distro and not swap around too much so you can get a feel for it without having a bunch of things change on you all the time like package names and the like.
All that said if your jam is older windows games and you have access to windows and are tired of messing with the OS and just want to play games just use windows, try linux another day.

Some games are trickier than others for sure. Are you using protondb as a reference?
Anno 1404 is a 15 year old game with aggressive DRM so I could tell right away that it would be one of the more tricky titles.

- Comment on Google's reCAPTCHAv2 is just labor exploitation, boffins say • The Register 4 months ago:
I mean that is true but there is some nuance.
At one time it was a cheap way to protect your site from drive by scripts and make your users help pay for that protection.
They still work in that way on say the comment section of a tiny WordPress blog because the cost to solve them isn’t worth what a random boner pill ad is worth.
The issue now (made worse recently by LLMs) is that more bots then ever are scraping any and every thing so people are putting captchas on every bit of every web app content they have. This increases the work of your users while it only slows down the bots. The hope is that the cost to solve is slightly higher than the value of the data.

www.cookingforengineers.com is one I enjoy. The recipe charts are pretty much all you need but the more detailed bits can help.
