the same company that sold drm mp3s,sold a licence to be able to load programs of your own choosing to your own phone, forced itunes to your computer to use your mp3 player, and a bunch of other more shit?

seriously how. I have no idea where the fucking profile configs go, I followed the instructions on the debian wiki and duplicated my login screen in a shittier resolution.

The best "solution" I have is dumping this into the games command line on steam, but it STILL uses the intel grfx card as well as the nvidia one. playing videos for more than 5 mins overheats the intel processor while the nvidia one does fucking nothing

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD_PROVIDER=NVIDIA-G0 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only

How the fuck do I use this?

EDIT : The below doesn't work.

I'm thinking about following these instructions to disable a pci device, but i'm scared of bricking this fucking computer (again) and wasting another weekend re-installing the os instead of working on projects

I get two fucking folders presented when I scan for the PCI folder :

    
lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v6/7th Gen Core Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers (rev 05)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6th-10th Gen Core Processor PCIe Controller (x16) (rev 05)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 630 (rev 04)

    
 ls -la /sys/bus/pci/devices | grep 00:02.0 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 18 02:53 0000:00:02.0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0

EDIT :

         00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 100 Series/C230 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #4 (rev f1)

I keep thinking about this but not getting to a decent universaly transferrable amount because I am in a bizarre situation of being the sole breadwinner with wife and child, but not paying rent, but having ongoing medical expenses.

But fuck it , "live comfortably" as a single person? Let's just ballpark it to 100k UYU monthly. Maybe more, maybe less.

Good luck with the kid!

I posted about this last week :

https://lemmy.world/post/42963753/22068707

reminds me of the time I went on sabbatical just around the timeframe of the annual reviews.

I went into the meeting with my manager, let him know I fixed the automations I committed to fixing, and that I wasn’t coming back after my holiday, and that I was going on a sabbatical. His face was blank, silent and still for a bit, and felt like in his mind he had a stack of paper he was going to talk about, which he then threw into the air.

Felt good man.

Hey man, you do you. Just know that behind the red door in your favourite bars, men are getting incredible kicks by not having hair even though they aren't balding

Here's where I'd make a shitty comment if I could remember any german I spent 5 years studying.

Nimm dein Handtuch und fahr zurück nach Deutschland

EDIT: This joke was more offensive than funny, I'm sorry. IDK. I'm leaving it up just so I can be ashamed of it.

Looking at my dad's bald ass head, and having tried a shaved head while I was younger, there is no fear. I even do it in cycles of growing my hair out down to my shoulders and getting sick of it and starting a new cycle.

Also, just like with Nick Fury and Co helping me not give a shit about my white sides, Picard ad Co got my back for going bald, if it happens.

Give it a try before it happens to acclimatise yourself to the idea.
