I feel like it's still important to remember the numbers of some important contacts, so you can actually call them using somebody elses phone if yours dies or breaks. But I suppose not many people would bother
So basically another Carrington Event. Which is actually not impossible, and nobody knows what would happen if a geomagnetic storm of that size would occur today.
I've basically done this for games and other programs using this desktop file:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Run with Bottles
Comment=Run directly with bottles
Icon=com.usebottles.bottles
Exec=bottles-cli run --bottle Gaming --executable %f
Terminal=false
NoDisplay=true
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;GNOME;GTK;
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=bottles
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/bottles;application/x-ms-dos-executable;application/x-msi;application/x-ms-shortcut;application/x-wine-extension-msp;
Keywords=wine;windows;
X-GNOME-UsesNotifications=true
Save as runwithbottles.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications
And remember to change --bottle Gaming to whatever bottle you want to use.
Now you can run any .exe by double clicking on it. If you associate it with 'Run with Bottles'
This needs bottles to be installed, but allows you to run executables with Proton or Proton-GE too.
I bought an Asus Zenbook 14 about a year ago, specifically for immediately installing linux on it and doing some light gaming (I also have a linux desktop)
It has been surprisingly good.
When the windows setup launched, the fans were spinning up loudly.
I wiped the laptop and installed NixOs. Suddenly the fans went quiet, and I got an estimated battery life of around 11 hours with light usage, excellent.
It has an AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS CPU with 780M graphics.
I was surprised at what you can run on this. Even Elden Ring was working smoothly on low to medium settings.
And the laptop weighs around 1.2kg. I found it even more practical to carry around than my steam deck. (which I've sold)
Overall pretty great experience.
Planning to build an Egpu to connect to the USB4 ports so I can add a bit of extra horsepower with an external GPU when needed.
I recently did a first aid workshop.
It's nice to learn the skills for first aid and cpr, but I was a bit terrified by the fact that all the participants will actually get a first aid certificate.
I have a feeling that this is also influenced by people that experienced (emotional) trauma.
Some people dissociate from their feelings as a result of things that happened in the past, and this can also impact their ability to visualise things. (Because their brain is protecting them from re-experiencing their trauma)
Surprising how fast it can change. I feel like knowing basic mending is still very useful today.
