Probably how they’ll force upgrade down the track, upgrade or we brick your shit.

Not the same by the sound of it, my hearing is exceptional for my age and career path.

Sorry to hear your hearing has deteriorated to such a degree, I hope you’re able to tune it out/sleep through it.

I’ve been listening well above recommend levels for years, I’ve done work operating industrial machinery and my hearing tested among the best for my age. Just use hearing protection, and don’t go nuts on the volume.

It’s the only ring I’ve seen in years I would actually wear.

Everyone keeps forgetting that we’re all just what monkeys evolved into…

I thought I was imagining this until I put a 1080p episode on one monitor and a 1080p YT vid on another. The difference was night and day.

Similar story here tbh.

Most people can’t be trusted operating a ground-dwelling vehicle, I’m fine with not having flying ones yet.

Thankfully I am, but I was born and raised on the coast, so I know the pain of a 44°C day at close to 100% humidity.

Hey wait, I resemble that remark!

Yankees are easy to deal with, I certainly don’t want to be the reason her highness turns in her grave.

My PC kept my room warm all winter, I now dread the incoming sun. Thank God for AC. Sorry for your loss there sir.

Metric system is best system, no exceptions.

Anything over 40°C is fuckin’ hot, anything under 4°C is fuckin’ cold.

Yeah some of them are keen, some of them like an extra pair of hands to steady things, or a good chat. You’ll always learn something even just by watching them.

Anytime I need to seek something outside my skillset, I basically offer myself as “apprentice for the day” and you’d be surprised how many will take you up on it.

Poorly, I left for a reason.

Yeah, I member.

Spot on sir.

I’m taking a dual-boot route, it does have it’s issues. Unfortunately due to work related and gaming reasons I can’t let go of it just yet.

I went with Linux Mint and I’ve been happy as Larry since I got used to it. But distro hop until you find your fit I’d say, I had spare hardware I was distro-hopping with and Mint just fit me best I think.

You’re spot on with Ventoy, it’s a huge boon. I only recently became aware of it, absolutely love it already. I highly recommend giving it a go.

Awesome writeup, I’ll likely refer to it in future.
