Am getting old cis man. Wish I could share the natural extra testosterone that causes testosterone-based problems. Best I can do is a high 5 for the bros. I’ll bring it every time.
PS I know nothing about anyone’s stash of testosterone they keep in their old prescription bottles.
My house has always lagged behind in the newest tech for one reason or another. Usually it’s because I end up adopting everyone’s old electronics, but sometimes it’s because we have old devices for kids.
USB C is better for me because I’m no longer fumbling to connect the charger late at night. I also appreciate that the charger works for other devices, but that was common for me with micro USB. There were also devices I had that took mini USB.
Now most of the different mini USB devices are gone, but I still have devices that need micro USB. Right not, that’s my third party Xbox controllers I inherited and use for PC games. Tandem’s T-slim insulin pump was also behind when we got them. Charging the pumps or using the controllers now means we are scrambling for an “old charger.”

It is absolutely Broadcom’s fault, but it’s also still the state of things.
Thanks to Ubuntu, Mint is quite well endowed with functional software. If it can receive the same level of support as Windows or MacOS, it will probably outpace them both.
I have to say that I am getting pretty good at Linux. I use it on my gaming desktop, my 8 year old Lenovo, on a specialized workstation at work, and I have two servers running it. It’s approaching general utility.
That said, I am being defeated by Broadcom wireless drivers on a HP Enterprise laptop. They aren’t just working, and the wireless soft switch isn’t just turning on. Until we can get to the point where the average user can just try a bunch of .deb (or whatever) files until they hit the jackpot, it isn’t going to be as easily adopted.
Thank you, I did have that wrong.
If you can afford it, a SSD will significant improve your life. Also, any more memory will help.
As others said, you can disable swap.
Are you running the xfce version of Mint? It’s significantly less resources.
We just finished. We were 0-10 on knocking on doors. Eventually they gave up and kept on trucking.
NCR names their motherboards after NASCAR tracks.
I have thought about it, but the assembly process has to be extraordinary simple. I would be terrified to know that the fastener I recommended sheared, taking someone’s life.
Also, there seems to be at least two extremes in DIY. One would be the individual who understands the processes and is doing it to show their technical prowess. The other would be the individual who desperately needs the end product.
Not sure. To be edgy?
I know this isn’t what you meant but:
Ah. I thought they were fully following in the footsteps of Microsoft.
Edit: I just read tfa. It was a blurb.
Even if they don’t use it for AI in particular, they will have a private nuclear power facility for their data centers. They would absolutely take advantage of that power generation if it was originally publicly funded.
This device is totally capable of running Minecraft, assuming it’s an older version.
It contains one of two computers.
The older computer was manufactured around '07, has a dual core processor, and may have up to 2g of ddr2.
The newer version I believe was manufactured around 2012 and has a 4 core processor with up to 8 gigs of ddr3.
Both are capable of running Windows, but I wouldn’t put 10 on the older one.
- 1 - …I respect the historical importance of this game.
I had a coworker who swore by this game in the nineties. When I finally got to it, I played most of the way through, but lost the save and haven’t been able to pay through again.
- 4 - First game that actually holds up.
Played through in college over a weekend. Got pretty far in. Loved it.
- 6 - I liked this game up until I found out that I was supposed to be grinding three distinct parties the whole time.
Borrowed from a friend in high school and beat sneaking to play overnight. Fell in love with the series here. My friend from work said this was the weakest of the three, but I appreciated the story.Three distinct parties don’t matter if you constantly rotate them and then use the yellow dinos to power level.
- 7 - I went into this expecting the first 3D installment to be another example of historically important but poorly aged. Was pleasantly surprised by how well it holds up.
High school friends were all into it. I couldn’t play until I could get it to play on Bleem! Currently on my 15th play through.
- 8 - I went into this knowing it’s the weird one. I was the sicko that liked 2, but I still couldn’t get through it.
Friend of mine and I played all the way through on this. The draw system is unusual, but looking back it was a great story. It was weaker without the cyberpunk dystopia of Midgar, and felt like I was now playing as the enemy. I also remember the trigger system infuriatingly.
- 9 - Bought it alongside 8, when I dropped 8 I never got around to this. I will eventually… maybe…
This got so much criticism when it came out. It’s actually a beautiful game that sticks close to the original premise.
- 10 - Perfects the classic formula while still feeling sufficiently modernized. Uh, for some definition of modern…
The grid on this is different, and the game is linear compared to some of the others. In contrast the characters are each so distinct. Also, the voice acting was a huge change.
15 was also automated. My problem with an open world is that it feels like you should scrape the world clean. Also, I was never sure when to move forward and got stuck forever in the first area.
I’m gaming just fine on mint. It’s like the old days when I would install something and not be sure if it worked, but so far most things have been working more or less out of the box. Installing and patching mods to final fantasy 7 took a little bit because I wasn’t familiar with the terms being used, but it was a couple hours, not a few days.
My bad, I was thinking hundreds to thousands.
I wasn’t thinking about smart watches, but I haven’t been sold on them yet.
People who like to be flashy with their money do buy expensive watches, but I only see them in the hundred TO thousand range. Anyone flashing a hundred-thousand dollar watch is out of their mind complaining about fuel prices.
The rest of the meme tracks in suburban Kentucky.
It does have tint. It’s a bit grainy to be sure, but I don’t see any condensation. It could be some fireball and big K, or it could be some brewed tea with Schmirinoff.
Sorry, but the phrase “It’s not gay when he sucks it out” popped into my head.
