- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 1 week ago:
Interesting, what year was that? Before Ubuntu shipped with pipewire by default I do remember it having the worst Bluetooth experience, so maybe something similar was the case with WiFi?
Anecdote as well: the non-working Bluetooth lead me to perform my very first (successful) dive into system files to replace Alsa with Pipewire
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 1 week ago:
You can quite safely jump onto any distro recommended for gaming. From me I would recommend PopOS, especially when 24.04 releases - easy install and Nvidia drivers work out of the box, and the super rare issue Linus encountered is long fixed
- Comment on Anon's PC works 2 weeks ago:
I upgraded last year from i7-4700k to i7-12700k and from GTX 750Ti to RTX 3060Ti, because 8 threads and 2GB of vram was finally not enough for modern games. And my old machine still runs as a home server.
The jump was huge and I hope I’ll have money to upgrade sooner this time, but if needed I can totally see that my current machine will work just fine in 6-8 years.

If you consider that a car weighs hundreds of kilograms but its contact surface with ground is something like 100 squared centimetres, that pressure makes sense

365.25 days I believe is the better approximation because it’s the rough time it takes Earth to be in the same spot - hence the leap days

It’s actually beneficial for controlling your health to monitor piss and poo. Not to obsessively investigate it. But just to know what’s normal for you so you know when to worry.

SearXNG is also amazing. The only reason I don’t use it more is because it doesn’t have an integration into the URL bar in Firefox.

This is only true in the US. In Europe if you don’t return the cart you can be sure people will give you looks and think about you as an asshole

You are indeed correct, some artistic freedom is definitely expected from that kind of series. But relying on Russian propaganda sources and making Legasov a hero doesn’t qualify as artistic freedom but misinformation. Also the representation of the soviet reality was at least inaccurate - my dad who was raised in the former soviet block summarised it as “representing how Americans think it was not how it truly was”.
Chernobyl is a good and very interesting series and it’s good that it raises at least some awareness about the catastrophe. But imo it could be more technically and historically accurate without losing its attractiveness.

You don’t get it. It was written in prophecies - it just must have happened because (supposedly) some guy years before wrote a story about it.

Maybe, if reviewers were paid for their job they could actually focus on reading the paper and those things wouldn’t slide. But then Elsevier shareholders could only buy one yacht a year instead of two and that would be a nightmare…
