sounds about right
  • . I'd rather be harvested for any useful organs if I have any left healthy enough to save someone, then the rest of me thrown in some kind of corpse compost or bio reactor or something.

  • God of War: Ragnarok Reportedly the Next PlayStation Exclusive to Hit PC
  • I really liked the two most recent ones, though I only played a tiny bit of ragnarok at a friends place because im not about to buy a playstation. I tried the original after on emu and its just not my thing. new ones are more talky and just listening to mimir while going around which is the most important part. theres a huge gap between the old games and the newer two with a whole lot left unexplained and you fill in some of the blanks from the ingame dialogue.

    if I had one major gripe, its the chapter where the kid has his rebellious phase or something and I recommend not backtracking for side goals untitl he becomes mentally stable again because the dialogue makes him seem really bipolar if you backtrack while he is being pissy. or just don't miss anything as you go.

    edit: I meant to say something about how if you dont play the og games you kinda get the kids point of view where he doesnt really know anything about his dad's past. that and the beard saves the guy from looking like warpaint agent 47.

  • Oh Yeah
  • I dunno the Bible passages I have read made me think god was a bit of a bipolar asshole and any entity higher than a human that went against god for the sake of humans would be punished too.

    that said I also didnt get the impression any of these types of people would make the cut either.

  • Yeap, it is
  • this is why when I had flexible hours at a previous job I started at 4am. it was also to not get stuck behind a train fpr 45min to 2 hours. Now I can't wake up that early without feeling dead. I dont know what happened.

  • you don't need more 4GB of RAM
  • I got 32 just so I could hoard more browser tabs. I have a more minimal setup on my laptop that goes with me places and any tabs I anticipate not needing for a couple weeks or more go to the desktop with more ram.

  • iFixit hails replaceable LPCAMM2 laptop memory as a 'big deal'
  • So I guess it was UV epoxied after soldering and he put new epoxy on with the new nand. Or something along those lines but the component is soldered in a typical way. The rotary tool being used to pull out the residual phone glue is excellent and I feel like I learned something useful even though I'm never going to do an iPhone ram upgrade.

  • I don't know anything about Linux and the idea of installing it frightens me. Where do I start?
  • I think its an outdated recommendation. They keep making weird choices and one of only two friends that was willing to try Linux went and tried Ubuntu without my input and decided to go back to windows for a bunch of mostly mundane reasons that could have either been configured away or been preempted by using a different distro. The other guy will be back but on bazzite after trying my steam deck he only left for shitty rootkit anticheat games that he's now sick of. He started on one of the arch easy install methods and was already a power user on both windows and Mac.

  • Best Graphic card for Linux Gaming
  • Its probably more the things like when you happen to update in one of those times where the package manager has nvidia modules built for a different kernel version than what you just updated to. Sure you can use dkms but its often not the default, and not everyone can figure out what to do when they reboot and it hangs before reaching desktop. I know someone who decided they hated Linux in general after this.

    Probably these days a new user wanting mainly Linux gaming with minimal tinkering could just use something like the bazzite nvidia image and never have any issues and if the open source driver ever reaches parity with the proprietary one it will probably just be swapped in and work in an update. Other distros as long as the maintainers aren't dumbfucks it should also be fine. In the early days of nvidia on linux Ubuntu fucked me up the ass a few times before I learned about using dkms for nvidia drivers or dkms at all really.

  • Reverse emmc/microsd adapter

    So I used something like these some years ago to recover data off a phone, but I was wondering if the reverse is possible in having a bga soldered adapter with a microsd slot on top. Or if PCBs can even be soldered together like that. I've never actually checked if bga chips have raised pads or something. The purpose would be for rapidly testing custom firmware for shitty old devices that were designed to be replaced without removing the emmc to flash it separately.

    Companion plants

    Its been a decade or two since I've had any sort of plants growing but when I was last trying to grow I was looking into companion plants. There are some that are pretty much ancient standards like beans corn and squash, but does anyone know plants that have a similar beneficial relationship with cannabis?

    Is there much performance difference in ad blocking options?

    I'm currently using the blocklists included with unbound in opnsense on a mini PC and I have used pihole on a pi which now operates my 3d printers instead. I haven't tried any of the other network wide options. Has anyone made any blog posts or similar detailing performance testing of different options?

    I have an 8 person household with each person having at least a phone and computer and probably some consoles or something. I haven't noticed any obvious differences but whitelisting seemingly can't be done in bulk efficiently with my current setup.

    We are all going to be moving in the coming months so I am revisiting different aspects of the home network and trying to figure out what can be improved and if anything is irritating enough in it's current state to tolerate a potential performance loss.

    Scroll/slide sensitivity and button touch precision.

    Would it be feasible to increase the minimum movement to start sliding a post left or right? I keep accidentally initiating the slide when trying to scroll up or down.

    I also find some menu navigation requires what feels like too much precision or touching the text bounding box and not a space/button with the text in it. I mostly find this when navigating the long press to block a community from a post. It has taken as many as 3 tries and a different thumb attempt to have the press registered.

    Does anyone know what to call this sort of fan optimization or have any reading material on how it works or how to design them?

    I'm trying to find out what purpose this type of design serves and how they are designed but have hit a wall with knowing what to even look for.

    This piece of the voron stealthburner is the only example I can think of off the top of my head but I have seen them before in some sort of fan duct or funnel thing.

    I've been doing modding on the deck with just the deck.

    So I've run mods on a bunch of different games which were downloaded and installed with the deck alone. No man's sky, lethal company, Subnautica, etc. with generally no problems but some modding software run through wine had visual bugs but the games worked as intended.

    So I thought I'd try something bigger and install fallout ttw. I installed the base games from gog without issue, and MO2 ran fine with my overridden default of wine-ge. Even the ttw installer seems to work... slowly. I started it two days ago and the picture is now. I guess some mods you really are better off using a beefier computer and transferring the final product.

    Seven ringed fingers on hand, wow on just one single hand!

    Dall e 3 via bing. The only way I could get it to all consistently plain rings not reminiscent of LOTR was making it Sonic's hand... with too many fingers?
