I never saw your other comment asking for elaboration so I’m sorry for that, but super glad it’s working out for ya! You sound exactly like I did when I first swapped lol

Good luck with the taskbar, we all find that one damn white whale!

Many of us also lived through the era where any 13 year old could steal Mommy’s credit card and rent a botnet for that ezpz

My MC server a decade ago was tiny and it still happened every few months when we banned some butthurt kid

I just don’t have to time to figure out which is the right one for me, installing it, configuring it, etc

Ah, then you want Mint.

I mean maybe someone smarter than me can tell me a linux distro that will work with world of warcraft, steam, final fantasy xiv, etc.

Mint, ive had no issue with any of those except WoW, whose issue is that I do not play it to test it. it even handled modded FNV better than Windows ever did once I figure out SteamTinkerLaunch

Dalamud (QuickXIVLauncher) even is on the distro software hub for easy download to your system, works great.

It’s only normal if you’re regularly doing iffy things like messing with drives or changing OS shit via terminal without thinking about what you’re doing, Ubuntu is a pretty stable system

You should definitely be using TimeShift, it comes pre installed on Mint (which is a derivative of Ubuntu) so it should work or already be on your system

5 years in

Batteries last far longer than that, to the point where every warranty I’ve seen is 10 years minimum

Range anxiety is still the biggest issue for EV adoption

Only because people keep making false claims like:

the supercharger network is the only practical option right now

It’s entirely irrelevant to bring up one specific type of vehicle being cancelled because people didn’t like it, which can be for a shitload of different reasons beyond just size

Buy a chest freezer and convert it

Or buy a fancier chest freezer that can swap to a fridge with a button press

Got mine for Xmas 2 years ago, cost like 800 bucks? Bigger than a normal fridge, uses $2.78/month in electricity in freezer mode here in expensive electricity land

Downside: you have to dig for you shit. Upside: in the summer, good

Because lies require intent to deceive, which the AI cannot have.

They merely predict the most likely thing that should next be said, so “hallucinations” is a fairly accurate description

I used to keep my phone in my breast pocket because I wasn’t allowed to wear headphones at work but WAS allowed to put it there and play audio aloud

Thus my phone would flip out far more often than a normal person

Weird that your Pixel didn’t handle water

I’ve dropped my 8 pro into the tub like 8 times in the 8 months ive owned it and it just disabled the port and is fine

Same with my pixel 6, 4, and 2 XL

Come to think of it I haven’t lost a phone to liquid since my LG G7, which I dropped into a bucket of diesel

Firefox is not chromium

Assuming that the world continues to exist in a way that lets me have a steam account at the time of my natural lifespans average end (another… 46 years):

My steam library grows at a slower rate than my mass storage has, and I’m quite confident that one will be able to fit my entire steam library as it currently is on a normal and affordable drive in at most 15 years.

With those two facts in play I can remain confident in my ability to crack everything I own (assuming I even want everything) and safely store it for at-will passing down to as many people as I want.

But thanks for the reminder to not blindly trust you, Valve. Always useful to have those.

I just can’t help but notice when people are being terrible conversation partners, mostly

Funny that you called me the one not paying attention to other people’s desires when all I did was point out that the people claiming there was literally no other option were wrong. I’d consider burying your head in the sand and pretending adapters don’t exist as being a garbage conversation partner.

Are you 12?

No, but you must be if you think what I said is in any way contentious. People in this thread are being gigantic whiners about pointless shit and I have nothing but contempt for them after seeing the dogshit arguments for their side and personal attacks at me rather than actual points being made.

Sorry, that’s not how public forums work.

Don’t like me replying to someone else? You can fuck off, you know?

I have been, I don’t respect people who want things to stay the way they were because they refuse to try new things.

People with very polite and normal responses were gettug downvoters just because they offered solutions that can’t be dismissed easily, so downvoting was done instead.

It allllways comes to the civility argument when people know their position is dog shit, too. Cute.

I love how anyone with half a fucking brain gets down voted.

Rather than point out where youre wrong thet just keep yelling about Bluetooth and downvotig once they realize they’ve run out of “gotchas”

Anyone fucking stupid enough to think the 3.5mm Jack is a good thing deserves the disappointment they feel every time a device doesn’t have own, tbh, bring it on themselves

Type C can’t spin 360°

Headphone jack portion of the adapter can

Remember the 2000s

Yeah, because everyone having a different charger is the same thing as an actually UNIVERSAL connector.

Literally just get that kind of charger. That $8 one I have is one.

All you weird-ass fetishists for an old connector keep having the most child-lrvel intelligence “gotchas”

Why would I give up my existing wired headphones to replace them with expensive sub-standard battery operated ones

You don’t, you use an adapter and move on with life.

I seriously do not understand people who die on this hill. The 3.5 Jack is dead in electronics and the only people making the transition painful are the HEADPHONE manufacturers who refuse to wire a USB-C instead of a now-outded plug.

This happens every time an obsolete connector gets phased out: cheap manufacturers keep using it well beyond the reasonable time to swap out, leaving the end users who fear change to cling on even longer for no good reason
