I think now is a great time to use every opportunity to put my head down and improve myself.

Most desk side support is exactly that.

Not even moderately helpful for printer questions.

I loved that show. Unfortunately, when I was explaining it, one of the ass hats in class thought I was talking about the ‘gay’ show with the inside out guy. There was no further discussion.

My older teenage son got into the game pretty hard for a month or two on beta or whatever and got me to play.

The mechanics are fun. I’d like to see more story.

*For now.

When they stop getting paid.

Sorry, but the phrase “It’s not gay when he sucks it out” popped into my head.

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.

Do you feed this cat raw steak, or does he get it himself?

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.

Finnish them.

You will probably only see issues if you are using conversion cables, like from HDMI to DP.

I have seen issues with Tripp Lite not detecting video signal on a DP KVM if the device isn’t selected during boot, but the issue is resolved once you hit Windows.

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.

Mine is snow levels. I feel miserable playing them, like I was sitting outside in Sub-Zero temps.
