  • Linux For Your Grandma - A Linux guide for those that are not super techy

    Jump

  • I wonder if more people dive deep in the control panel than there are users of Linux. I bet there are and maybe even more that are willing to use regedit than there are Linux users.

  • Whats your absolute favorite fast-food burger?

    Jump

  • I prefer their mushroom and swiss with grilled onions.

  • Witchfire director says “everybody should attempt to support” Steam Deck as it just makes games better for everyone

    Jump

  • I'm in the same boat. Been using Linux on a laptop for decades. But have always used Windows for gaming on my gaming desktop. I'm due for a rebuild and had a Linux build planned out that I was going to buy parts for during the holidays when they were expected to be on sale... Then RAM shot through the roof. A few months back the retail price of the parts (minus accessories and a case) was at a little above $1700 now it's almost at $2100 due to the RAM pricing.

  • Samsung smart fridges have started displaying ads

    Jump

  • They probably get around this from some clause in the terms and conditions... Yep... Terms and conditions for a fridge.

  • Why are so many after-shave lotion perfumed ?

    Jump

  • I have used cold water, followed by an alum block, then cold water again after I let the alum sit on my skin. Then I just apply unscented noncomedogenuc lotion. I usually use Neutrogena ultra gentle daily facial moisturizer.

  • What's the deal with breakfast in bed?

    Jump

  • I think that's actually what dentists recommend (brushing before eating not wiping before you shit). I can't remember the details fully but I thought it had something to do with particles of food getting pushed into spots it shouldn't if you brush right after. Toothpaste is meant to protect your teeth, so brushing after eating probably more like waxing a dirty car than wiping before you shit.

  • how do school shooters know how to use guns?

    Jump

  • One might even say that a firearm becomes more dangerous in a less knowledgeable person's hands.

    RTFM is Sage

    Jump

  • It's been about 15 years since I did appliance servicing. But back then many of the dryers would still include a circuit diagram with wire color codes and a timing chart for the controller. But the fancier appliances that had digital control boards, touch panels, etc... Like LG and Samsung didn't include crap unless you paid for their service portals. But, what they had behind the pay wall was often fairly detailed with tear down instructions and even full details of circuit boards including each pinout and often even flow charts for diagnostic steps making diagnostics almost dummy proof.

    LG would even put on training and we'd get full inch to inch and a half booklets full of service details for a line of their products.

    I still would never buy an LG appliance though. There was a reason they had to provide so many service details. Their appliances might have some fancy cushy innovations. But what good are these fancy features when your fridge doesn't cool?

  • Does Tentacular Limbs from Aberrant Bloodline extend unarmed attacks from (Wolf Jaw) Martial Artist Stances in pf2?

    Jump

  • As someone who has GM'd for PF2E for several years I second this. I see no reason they would not be able to be used together.

    Keep in mind that Tentacular Limbs does have the morph trait so it cannot be stacked with another morph ability/spell applied to the same limb. Also, because the spell has the manipulate trait, you could draw a reaction (attack of opportunity).

  • I have a coworker that still has an old party line for their landline at the farm and if he wasn't given a company phone he probably wouldn't have one.

  • Epic Games Store is Removing a Game (Dark and Darker) from Players' Libraries due to legal troubles

    Jump

  • I'm not one hundred percent sure, but the email I got from Epic says they're refunding the legendary upgrade and that Redstone shards are only good until November 1st. I don't actually play the game, but I got the email because I got the legendary upgrade when it was a freebie.

  • Epic Games Store is Removing a Game (Dark and Darker) from Players' Libraries due to legal troubles

    Jump

  • There's also an upgrade that isn't free that's being removed. Granted the upgrade was one of their freebie offers relatively recent.

  • Business optimization

    Jump

  • There's ads over the PA? I have never heard any. It might be because I'm typically in-and-out and focused on just getting what I need or maybe I've just been tuning them out. I'll have to listen more carefully next time I'm at Target and Walmart.

  • What's the state of Android browsers? Want to move away from Samsung Internet

    Jump

  • I had a Fold4 and now have an s25 Ultra and had none of those issues with Firefox either. Works just fine for me and I even have some extensions I've put on that aren't technically supposed to work in the mobile browser so I was fully expecting some jank. But still works fine.

  • Samsung's handheld prototype delivers folding phone screens to Switch-like gaming hardware, and I am absolutely here for it

    Jump

  • I had a folding phone (Fold4). Once a video was playing the fold wasn't as noticeable as long as you looked at it straight on. From an angle, the fold was annoying.

    The worst part about the phone was that it was uncomfortable to hold when folded or not, it was cumbersome, and finding a good case for it was nearly impossible.

    I would rather carry something like my Deck in a case than save a little space with a folding device. Those folding screens are also very shiny and super sensitive. You can scratch those screens with your finger nails.

  • Spotify Premium "Ad Free" plan

    Jump

  • Yeah. I'm not a fan of their shuffle either. I sometimes want music I've never heard before. Supposedly their discover weekly playlist is what provides this but it's always full of covers of songs I already regularly listen to.

  • Spotify Premium "Ad Free" plan

    Jump

  • I'm checking out Tidal right now. Is there a way to import the playlists that doesn't cost money?

    When you say "a real shuffle" what do you mean?

    So far the audio quality is noticeably better and I have both set to maximum quality. Only complaint so far is that they seem to combine artists of same or similar names. For example, it was tough to find Wolves without it confusing different artists of the same name. I found a metal core band from Milwaukee of the same name which I like, but I was looking for a band from the early 2000's from Massachusetts. Once I found them, Tidal lists other artists' albums under the more albums section.

  • Why do people like American Psycho?

    Jump

  • I always thought that was the point of it. To be comment on the absurdity of stereotypical businessmen of the time. All wearing the same "uniform," using the same business cards, indistinguishable from one another.

  • Hustle? In this gig economy?

    Jump

  • Could be full-commission sales too.
