  • Holy shit, you just used "nice" and "liquid glass" in the same sentence

  • It sounds like the thrifted power supply isn't enough.

    Keep in mind, the power supply you thrifted was probably used for a while itself, and may not be in the best condition.

    Generally, if I replace your power supply, I go with something new and brand name. Otherwise, there's no telling what could go wrong with it - or what components it could take with it.

  • Can you install linux on a Aspire es 15 es1-533-c27u

  • What are you using to create the bootable installer? Rufus may have options to help with this.

    Also, MX includes a bunch of system rescue tools. If grub-install doesn't work by myself, maybe chroot would help?

    The MX community forums might be a good place to ask, too. Lots of power users there.

  • Try MX Linux. It runs on a toaster, and I've never found a machine it wouldn't install on.

  • I'm not sure how to reply to this.

    Mainly because my own math skill is unrelated to processor technology of the late 1990s.

    Just like it was 30 years ago.

  • 3D graphics were incredibly primitive back then. There really weren't "3D processors" as we know them today.

    On top of that, CRTs masked many of the weirdest graphical artifacts - the shimmering we see on modern screens was much more of a blur on screens at the time.

    It's fun to look back at the PlayStation and the N64, and to see how each of them handled limitations in a different way.

  • I had emergency surgery and as a result it looks like I will be zonked out on oxys for the next week. Never had these, what are some good movies to watch in this condition?

  • GOG did an AMA and here's some highlights - like how they'll continue using generative AI

    Jump

  • "adopting it" and "getting saddled with it" are two different things.

  • I'm about as anti-AI as you can get, but that wasn't a confirmation - it was a non-answer.

    And considering how many things "AI" is getting crammed into, if they'd given a definitive answer, it wouldn't have been possible to guarantee it - because they're not in control of every business scenario in the industry.

  • How to fix this crack in the shower wall?

    Jump

  • Do you have any access to the inside of the wall, so you can view that section of wall from the back?

    Repair will depend on several factors:

    Was the correct type of wallboard used when building the wall? If not, and if it's been cracked for a while, a significant amount of water could have gotten through the crack. If significant amounts of water have gotten through, you may need to replace the whole section of wall.

    Is there any water damage to the wallboard? Usually, if the correct type of wallboard was used, there won't be any water damage. But I've seen plenty of installers use the wrong kind of board. If the wrong board was used, you may want to replace the whole section of wall, even if there isn't visible water damage. Because if the crack gets worse, it'll be a more expensive repair later.

    Does the shower-facing side of wall show any signs of crumbling? If so, it may be patchable, but you'll need to remove the crumbling portions first. Also, if it's actively crumbling, it could be bigger signs of structural issues, and you may want to get it inspected before doing any repair work.

    Is the wall stable? Is the cracked area firm? Is there no sign of water damage? There are a few different types of silicone caulk or tile filler you can use to patch the crack. As long as it's patched properly, it shouldn't let water through, and it shouldn't continue to deteriorate.

    There could be other considerations, but these are some of the common ones.

    If anything seems off, get a professional to look at it. It'll cost more now, but it'll save you time and money later.

  • My therapist says she might have to report my abusive family to the authorities. How do I avoid being reported so the cops don't show up and make everything worse?

    Jump

  • If your therapist told you that, they have a moral and legal requirement to report it.

    Your therapist is doing the right thing. Your family is actively harmful and you need to get out of there somehow.

  • How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving?

    Jump

  • You can do that at the same time as beating yourself with the purple dildo

  • Help me choose a new display?

    Jump

  • Yeah, if the resolution is the only issue? Keep three screens, you'll enjoy the wrap-around. Especially for racing, a single screen will leave you wanting.

    Not to say you definitely won't like a single screen. But you know why you like what you like.
