Yes, look on their website for compatible models, there’s a handful of affordable ones, many which perform better on higher tier connections too. Been using my own modems with Comcast for 25 years.

You didn’t list the hardware or what the temps used to be before this. Assuming it’s a recent increase from sane normals, your best course of action is to move the system, give it a thorough cleaning, and change the thermal interface material. Underclock / undervolt is a temporary solution as inadequate heat dissipation can still occur even if the temps appear normal, degradation will continue.

You won’t brick the computer by moving it and changing the thermal paste. If you’re not confident enough, just watch a video or two online about how to handle the system, I bet there’s videos of your specific hardware out there. You’re more likely to incorrectly configure the hardware via software controls than you are to damage it by swapping the thermal paste.

Just add your own context menu shortcut for .deb files that runs sudo deb -i $_

I was taught that bat shit (guano) is toxic to humans in ways that can make the person “go crazy” before they die. Similar to mercury poisoning and being a “mad hatter” from the days of mercury lined headwear.

Yeah, soft serve is just frozen sugar milk, comes in cartons like regular milk and you can totally just drink it, tastes a bit like whole milk but clearly with an unhealthy amount of sugar in it.

They first started selling hamburgers in 1958.

The wiki has all the info you need.

Since you’re asking for opinions, I think you might be overreacting. But that’s totally natural after an accident!

That said, if you’re considering never driving again, then you really have to be sure that’s possible. If your family pushed you into it in the first place, they might already know that it isn’t feasible to rely on public transport where you live. That is extremely common in the US, because there is so much damn space between everything in most places. If you have to rely on others to fill the gaps where public transit fails, then you have to really consider if you’re doing more harm than good by refusing to drive. Ultimately the decision is up to you but there’s lots to consider here that we don’t have all the information for. It’s a good skill to have but requires maintenance to keep.

It’s the guts of a pair of headphones, retrofitted with a battery and audio jack. Consider it a Bluetooth audio receiver and DAC with standard audio output.

Switch 2 is 1.18lbs, Switch 1 OLED is 0.93lbs, Switch 1 is 0.88lbs, and the Steam Deck OLED is 1.41lbs. So the steam deck is almost twice the weight of Switch 1 lol. I would guess the more ergonomic grips made it seem like it was lighter.

fwiw, the Switch 2 screen is gorgeous, they did a really good job on this custom display. Putting it side by side oled and the average consumer wouldn’t be able to tell the difference “except one is bigger”.

You say “just” like that’s not a feat in and of itself, especially considering how many console launches don’t?

I thought it couldn’t get better when System 7 had color support. It was such a revolution. Then Aqua came along and everything changed. Liquid Glass looks pretty nice to me but I’m mostly just glad we’re getting dimension back. Material flat UI is a stain on the world.

2024 model here, supports ipods, wired and wireless CarPlay/ android auto, 3.5mm aux, Bluetooth. Only thing it doesn’t have is physical media (cd, dvd, cassette). If you plug in an iPhone that supports CarPlay, but turn off / disallow CarPlay from the phone settings, it just shows up as “iPod” too, so any downloaded music works fine.

28 Days Later also used one of the first digital-only production cameras Sony put out at the time. It’s something the director does and it’s kinda neat. This is why there’s no real high quality versions of 28 Days, but it’s also kinda why it has more charm.

Beat saber VR is great cardio. Ring fit has a nice variety of workouts too.

I think you’re confused about my sentiments.

It doesn’t matter how well the current apps run, they should be 1st class citizen features seeing as power toys has been around since Windows 95 days as a series of useful tweaks and applications that are ubiquitous enough to exist through till now, including the constant expansion of features since the windows 10 open source version was published several years ago.

If there wasn’t a dedicated community around these features, then you’d have an argument that they’re superfluous but the project has taken off like a rocket with regular improvements and fixes all these years now.

The point is that Microsoft is prioritizing so many things with AI/copilot these days, it’s a damn shame they relegate actually useful features to the open source community where performance and integration is likely suffering, despite the community’s best efforts.

Windows Power Toys is a suite of programs and tweaks for Windows, one of which is “Run” that behaves similar to spotlight search on macOS. If you have to operate in Windows, I’d say the suite is a must-have for Run, Fancy Zones, File Renamer, Screen Ruler, and Color Picker alone. It’s good software that should be built into the OS but for some reason is not— built and maintained by a dedicated open source community these days as opposed to just a couple individuals from inside Microsoft back in the day when Power Toys was a proprietary tool first released on Windows 95.

I just want id to do something else. Doom is fun and all but they’ve kinda perfected it.

I would make the case for proxmox on the machine so you can divvy up the hardware as you see fit— but also setup the hard drives as a zfs1 pool (1 redundancy failure allowed). This way you can make multiple isolated machines or use LXC containers directly for apps, services, etc. while benefiting from ZFS’s excellent performance and reliability. I would say that TrueNAS Scale has been a bit of a letdown for me because it feels bloated, easy to make mistakes with complicated setups, and I have less control over the hardware. I don’t like how updates have fully broken apps. That said it is a reliable ZFS wrapper with more bells and whistles in the UI over what proxmox offers— caveat being that both can do everything if you want to take the time to learn ZFS commands.

There is also the TrueNAS based alternative HexOS that is more beginner friendly for just getting a nice NAS setup fast while still supporting apps / containers.
