And paying for it with a card with your name on it might be a bad idea…

EDIT: VPN or Usenet might be better and there are also pretty good tools.

Oh I like that one. Yoink! Thanks.

It’s also quite wrong.

I have been running arm32 elf binaries and Xorg on my HTC M8 stock kernel with Android 4. That’s not a new thing. Libreoffice and Xfce ran pretty well on that thing.

It’s just quite a bit slower. Everything else other than messing with /sys and android processes works the same.

HDMI, mouse and keyboard and you have an office pc.

Most engines can build on Linux. Even CryEngine. Maybe OP mentioned UE4 because it runs better than UE5.

Every game that I have seen that runs on UE5 either looks like a vaseline smeared blur or runs like crap.

Do you know one that runs great AND looks great? And I don’t mean in the trailer.

Oh, lemmy has cakes. Happy cake day.

That password was only for network shares/NT domains. 95 didn’t have any concept of users, like DOS.

I just pressed cancel. Who needs network shares.
On XP you could start the On Screen Keyboard, open the help for that and then open the explorer by browsing for a different help file.

MS has a history of security first.

Rebel Galaxy rocks. Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is also amazing.

Steam version has Denuvo. GOG version doesn’t. Other than that they should be the same. I noticed only differences in load times.

It’s a fun game and runs great on a potato. $5 is definitely worth it.

That’s weird considering they still run an Onion site: https://www.reddittorjg6rue252oqsxryoxengawnmo46qy4kyii5wtqnwfj4ooad.onion/

Just use: https://search.marginalia.nu/ It crawls forums, wikis and other human generated content.
No SEO garbage, scammers or AI. (mostly) It’s still very much an alpha.

Yeah, even XP had Rover, the search dog.

Ninite and Chocolatey helps a bit. But then you get to the point where there is no automation for a start menu entry for some packages. It’s a bit of a mess.

A colleague installed Python from the MS Store on Windows 11 it messed up all python software, PyCharm, the other python versions and some file associations. Quite a mess.

It’s true. I fixed a Samsung LED TV that wouldn’t turn on. They used a tiny resistor that I thought was a fuse.

That resistor was chosen so that it always ran hot and failed after about 3 years of normal use. I put in a bigger one with the same resistance that stays cold and now have the TV for 5 years.

Can confirm. Use a fridge from 1974. 2 years ago thermostat failed. Replaced with digital one for $15. Now have a nice digital readout of the temps. Thing uses 180W 100W when running, less than bigger newer ones.
It’s even more ecological to keep it running since it still has the nasty ozone layer killing coolant that would partly evaporate when trashing it.

EDIT: 100W just checked the type plate.

You can still do that. They’re called body repair panels. They are usually plain metal. You have to cut out the old, weld in the new, grind them flat, prime and paint them. This isn’t cost efficient if your car is worth less than the paint you’d need. The parts usually are around $100-$300 bucks (if you don’t need OEM parts) but the labor is expensive. And if you do it for cheap it will look like crap.

vpn with network manager is amazing. All my client’s vpn solutions just work. On windows I needed 5-6 different vpn clients that bluescreen each other on Linux I need zero proprietary software.

Get everything: https://www.voidtools.com/ (the alpha version can also index the content of files). It’s search is instant. As in < 1 second for any file on any of your harddisks (even ones not connected right now).

For base linux cmdline tools I just install Git for Windows it includes tail, sed, grep, tee, iconv, less, scp and tons more. I need git anyways so win-win.

To be fair it’s rather odd they call it that. Germans seem rather strange with English in general.

They go to public viewings to watch on their beamers. Even when no one has died. Lothar Matthäus claims “I’m a German record player”. They carry stuff around in their body bags and listen to music from “boxen”.
Merkel even told the english press about her shitstorm. Every day there is a cringe moment.
