  • I’m running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and finally completely dumped Win10 as it was BSODing itself apart during games anyway.

    Constantly impressed with how many games “just work”, and not even just with Steam. Heroic for GoG stuff, Lutris, Bottles for classics I still got on disc…it’s awesome!

    But you mentioned Windows Only VR and I got all excited…except I’ve got a Samsung Odyssey+ (WMR) and realized Monado is the only hope of it not being an expensive blackbox brick. :(






  • Magnets near computers at all while we’re at it LOL.

    We learned to tolerate a big purple-green splotch in the corner of my family’s ultra heavy CRT display after I held one of those neat telescopic-magnet-wands too close to it once.

    Then I learned there was a “degauss” function!

    That seemed like magic how fast it made the unsightly blemish, and my parents’ irritation, vanish. XD

    I remember seeing tutorials on making a neat degaussing contraption using magnets and an electric drill, too. O.o

    Hard drives though…probably not as easily fixed.
