I don’t think that you understand this very well. You definitely don’t need a monopoly in the video media platform space in order to restrict competition to an unfair degree. For example, the forced sale of Fox Sports to Bally in 2021 by the courts in order to retain a small modicum of competition in broadcasting despite the existence of other networks. Maybe you should look into it a bit more before you declare it’s not an issue?
Okay, I hope you can find some kind of other solution then. Didn’t realize you aren’t able to leave your home. Sorry for trying to help you?
I can assure you that you can still access the used market with these limitations since you can arrange to meet others at a public place nowhere near your home. A lot of the groups and sales are on Facebook though, so that’s a huge bummer.
But you could also check your local vaping meetups, flea markets, or pawn shops, as well as classifieds websites such as Kijiji or Craigslist (those are the 2 most well-known where I live, your local area may use other websites). You should be able to entirely avoid shipping if vaping is common where you live.
Have you considered checking out the used market? I haven’t seriously vaped since 2016 when I used it to quit smoking (and all my vape stuff got stolen in a move in 2017), but I remember that the used mod scene was pretty damn good back in the day.
I have a OBS Cube-X that’s still going strong and does everything I want it to, so a used single-18650 like that might fit the bill depending on your needs and is probably way less than $100.
LXQt or XFCE if I have to pick a DE. Fluxbox or openbox if I can get away with just a WM. ;)
I’m not sure that I agree that low-contrast text in the top panel is friendly to old people (or anyone, for that matter). Text that contrasts with the background is way easier to read and strains your eyes less.
I would hate to use this desktop, it’s a pain in the ass to even read the clock in the top corner. I don’t even have vision problems.
I really like Debian. There’s a version of Linux Mint called Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) that I recommend for people new to Linux. My wife has been using it for about 6 months.
The easiest way to install is by using the live image on a USB drive. I recommend installing Ventoy on the USB first if you like the idea of having a dedicated USB for boot images. Totally not necessary, but can be useful.
I’m on my second install now. I fucked up the first one pretty handily by accidentally wiping the boot partition in gparted. (Like a complete idiot, because the partitions are labeled.)
This sucks ass. I’m a lifetime Plex Pass holder, so this doesn’t affect me yet, but who’s to say they won’t fuck over lifetime users sooner rather than later?
Honestly, this made me consider setting up Jellyfin. What the fuck?
Back in 2009, I had changed my name “too many times” on my Facebook account and had to verify my name using my ID. I (14 at the time) just sent a quick Photoshop job and they accepted it, no problem.
I can imagine the people doing the verification don’t get paid very well even today.
Try conduwuit instead of Synapse if you get stuck. For me, it was really simple to install and the dev is really nice.
I got a Matrix server set up with conduwuit but the problem is that none of my friends are on there so I don’t use it. The one friend I made the damn thing for so we could chat just started going through a bunch of personal stuff so now it won’t be used for a while. FML.
So I think that there may be a BIOS misconfiguration here somewhere. Try looking at the answers here, maybe one of them will help: https://askubuntu.com/questions/708247/cant-boot-into-ubuntu-in-windows-10-ubuntu-dual-boot
You replied to the wrong person.
ACPI errors shouldn’t be an issue, it’s somewhat common to see them. Are you still able to boot from live USB? Are your Linux and Windows installations on the same drive? Sometimes Windows can mess with the boot settings of other OSes and even break a GRUB install.
The pictures you posted don’t show an error, that’s a screen to select your boot drive. Are you saying you don’t know how to select a boot drive or that when you do select the boot drive, nothing happens? You’re not giving us any information to help you with.
…Looking at my specs, do you really believe that I paid it recently? This was many years ago.
For me, I haven’t bought a new graphics card in a long time. I have a RX 580 that I bought used for $200 CAD. My next upgrade will be my motherboard since I’m still using a 1150 socket and I’m stuck using DDR3 RAM and an outdated CPU (Intel i5-4460).
I can still play newish games at low settings and that’s fine for me right now. I’m not buying a GPU at current retail price, fuck that. It’s crazy that the best time to build a PC was 2015.
I know most people want this for 3 (don’t blame you at all), but I actually really enjoyed 4 when I played it on Gamecube as a kid. The missions were silly and fun, and the NPCs and voice acting were over-the-top in often hilarious ways. I wonder if they’ve nerfed the Snake Run Slalom at all, I remember it being crazy hard.
Time to ask the burning question though… When are we getting a remake of THUG 1 + 2?
