I’m American.

I dont have the money to stockpile anything.

dont turn off your monitors.

The power on/off cycles significantly reduce their lifespan vs just leaving them on.

The pennies you save on the power bill aint gonna add up to enough to replace the monitor more often.

cant you just use a DP to HDMI adapter to get hdmi out?

how many times have i seen this headline over the past…10 years?

I am an leading expert in insecurity.

exactly. If anything they are insecurity devices considering how many 3rd parties typically have access to them without your knowledge or permission.

Easiest way to avoid this bullshit is to install wired cameras, and such a way that they are not easy to access/cut.

I know someones gonna come in and be all “BUHBUHBUT YOU CAN JUST DESTROY THE CAMERAS” and yeah, thats true.

but you cant destroy the camera from 3 blocks over, you have to get right up on them, and your face/vehicle/other helpful information may just well be caught and recorded before you do. Unlike wifi jamming, which could be done from streets away.

It will also prevent people from outing AI driven bots that are out there spreading fake news and propaganda.

am I gonna need an AI to solve captchas now?

cause they’ve gotten so patently stupidly ridiculous that I cant even solve them as a somewhat barely functional biological intelligence.

I guarantee most this AI bullshit is nothing but a backdoor to harvest more user info, anyway.

7 was the peak of the curve, with everything starting a downward trend with 8.

7 was genuinely the best windows operating system. It was stable, slick, easy to use, and generally unobtrusive to what you were trying to do, and you didnt have to do daily reboots or regular reformats to clean up after it like you had to do with all its predecessors.

Yes, thats what hes asking. are you a dualbooter/have the games on a NTSF drive, or are they on a native linux partition.

yet

Yes.

I’m no microsoft fanboy, but I am shocked that they would do this. Everyone should be shocked. To be anything but shocked is to be complacent.

This is the kind of shit google does on the regular, Never heard of Microsoft doing anything like this before.

And as I’ve said in response to instances of google doing this, I’ll say it again here. This continues to highlight the dangers of having all your eggs in one companies basket, by choosing comfort and convenience you’ve given your entire digital life over to a company that has no compunctions against metaphorically guillotining it for any reason they want.

Yep, Nobara should be the default choice for a gaming focused distro due to GE, since he knows exactly what hes doing and whats needed.

Nobaras kinda a new distro, but its based on Fedora (the 39 indicates its based on Fedora 39) which is well established.

I’ve been using it, and the previous version of 38, and I’ve had a great experience with it. It also has a very active discord full of kind people willing to help.

Damn, thats some google level behavior.

What the fuck, MIcrosoft.

Nobara 39.

Its easy and quick to set up, easy to use, and has a lot of ancillary tools and stuff preinstalled to make getting into the gaming easier.

I’m not gonna say its the second coming of christ, or all sunshine and rainbows, so to be upfront and honest… Dualboot at first, if you can. Its, presumably, your first time using linux, so you will run into more roadblocks to start simply due to lack of knowledge and experience on how to navigate things, but you’ll get your baselines down quick and start getting into the windows-like usability and flow.

been playin games on linux for a long ass time now, with minimal issue.

with almost no issue in the past 3-4 years.

Its caught up.

Pretty much any game short of ones that have invasive kernal DRM run without much issue.
