I just can’t reconcile the guy that has to be told to tone it down a bit by Darth Vader, to the pussy he becomes in that show.

And even that is a masterpiece compared to the Obi Wan series…

How dare you slight the cohesion and vision of the Whatever Sony Has The Rights To Cinematic Universe?

My nan got all her cats this way. The last few were a trio of kittens she found huddled under the tree at the end of her garden during a storm. She did keep an eye out for the mother, but if she was around she never came back for them.

Most of them outlived her in the end, and my uncle ended up with them.

I’m on VPN so my highest is like 6.

I’m got a 100Mbps upload but nobody wants it through a VPN. 😢

Mate, this isn’t a new church roof.

Your fundraisers are going to want that money back and then some. Forever.

It’s weird that all the tier 1 ISPs have no such worries though.

I once installed Gentoo from scratch.

I then didn’t use Linux for about 15 years, so take from that what you will.

Honestly depends.

If it’s life or death urgent, an ambulance arrives, takes you away and with any luck, fix you right up. Visitors will likely have to pay to park at the hospital, and that will be your biggest expense. When my dad had a cardiac arrest, it was during covid, so the parking was free. The biggest expense was cleaning his blood off the carpets and putting their cat in the cattery for a week.

If it’s something non-urgent, and the cause isn’t immediately found by a doctor, then you might go on a waiting list and be seen in a few months maybe. And even then it might not get sorted. It’s not like House.

The most annoying bit is the 8am phone roulette to try and get an appointment.

Try Jedi Fallen Order. It’s got a lot of the ingredients, but a lot shallower learning curve.

Yeah, stick with GoW. It’s one of my favourite games of last gen just for the story telling.

Post game there’s some vicious challenges that took all my ability just to beat them on normal.

Yeah, it would be nice if Ubuntu just ran it out of the box as well.

So many things are great and just work and honestly just surprise you with how painless they are, and then you hit the snags, and then you’re in a world of trying to run things gathered from various sources, only to find that doesn’t work in your distro, only worked in 2016, or requires a package that isn’t obviously named from the command you’re trying to run.

I’m still not sold on snaps either. I finally got Firefox to see my integrated N150 “GPU”, but I’ve no idea how to make it use it for video decoding. I’ve no idea if the Snap version even supports that.

I’m surprised at how clunky it gets when at 100% CPU as well. Even the mouse lags. Maybe there’s a way to save a little bit of resources for user tasks, but I’ve no idea what that would be.

Thing is the people that never needed Windows, also didn’t really need a PC…

Gamers seem to be an exception, and while WINE/Proton are good, they’re not infallible. I can’t even get WINE running unless it’s running as root, which I don’t really want to do, and it took a lot of faff to get it to even do that. Wasn’t even anything complex, just a basic Win32 app I’d done as a test.

They’re kind of small enough that if I want a PDF, I can just google it and download it from some random foreign university who are hosting it for some reason. You’d likely struggle to find more obscure stuff that way though.

Yeah, read a couple of sources and take the average.

Always bear in mind who funds it.

Not at all.

You can’t force anyone to carry on running servers after their business dies, and you can’t force them to release code that might be licensed from somebody else.

Realistically, the onus is on us, and all we can really do is refuse to buy or engage with games that use this model, and if we do then at least accept that one day it will be gone, no matter how much time and money we’ve tipped into it.

Why is OnlyOffice getting traction all of a sudden?

Is there something it does well that LibreOffice doesn’t?

I’m always a bit dubious about new software, especially something as massive as an entire office suite.

“Rabies… I’ve got rabies… I’m supposed to get the flu this week.”

You can probably build a decent entry level gaming PC for that, that can do the latest games at 1440p.

Ryzen 9600X, motherboard, 32GB RAM, and either a nVidia 5060 Ti or AMD 9060 RX with 16GB VRAM.

Might have to reuse the case, storage and PSU, but at this point PC gamers are used to cannibalising their old machines to save money.

Personally I’m hanging on with a 1060 6GB, and just using my PS5 for anything demanding. I thought the 1060 was dead the other day, but a quick autopsy and a can of air duster later and it was working fine again.

No.

The world is run by capitalism, and you have to remember that unhappy, anxious people spend more, while dead people don’t spend anything.

Turn off the news. Turn off the social media. Go for a walk. It’s nice outside. None of this shit has manifested there.

Well, unless you’re in America and you look vaguely foreign. Maybe don’t go for a walk in that case.

Mate, that room is £1200 a month in London.
