Well that's just about the cutest darn ring I've ever seen.

It recommends FSR for modern games and bilinear filtering for pixel art.

FSR is already supported on any version of wine using DXVK AFAIK, so if you're gaming on Linux, you have it.

Just so I'm the first one to utter the phrase:

"We have credible reports from Windows Intelligence that a crime has been committed, your computer is going to restart. "

It sounds invasive. Like it's a private intelligence agency and not a chat bot.

It'd be the first time the catholic church tried to STOP sexual exploitation of a minor.

More likely they'll move the people making the porn to a far off town.

I picked up a flip4 just before the 5 was announced. They had a same whew you could trade in an older phone. I think I paid $500CAD + iPhone 12 mini for mine.

I'm 100% a flip convert. My only real complaint is the height, I would love a slightly smaller phone. The fact that it fits in all my pockets, I can put it anywhere without worrying about the screen, I can do things like small payments/ camera/ flashlight without opening it up. I love this thing and I can't imagine doing back.

I had to replace the screen protector last winter, turns out -40C causes it to lift up from the crease, but$20 later this protector held up all year.

Yes, if the issue was a moral one. This issue, however, is a legal one.

It sucks if well meaning people are caught up in this, but it also sucks if you're living in the aggressor state of an ongoing war.

I left windows years ago. I only need it for a couple really restrictive apps, so I dual boot, but I only boot in every few months.

I stopped playing games that use aggressive anticheat as well. 99% of the games I was playing work great, all I lost really was Fortnite and destiny 2, which is worth my sanity dealing with Windows nonsense.

I e been telling people who switch to; think of it like moving house. When you move to a new house, the bathroom isn't in the same place and the kitchen is different, it's up to you whether the new location is better or not. If you expect your new house to have all the same rooms in all the same places as your old house you'll always be disappointed the whole time. Linux is a different house, pick a house that suits your needs and you'll be happy.

This reminds me when my mom told my dad Netflix didn't serve their area because she didn't want another bill.

He told me that and I was like "Well..." and my mom just yelled from the other room "I JUST CALLED THEY'RE TRYING FOR NEXT YEAR." so I shut up.

Imo, your biggest enemy here is going to be battery life. I bought a sale-priced Lenovo t14s and I always keep a battery back in my bag just in case.

With a low power profile, having Eclipse open, a web browser to view slides/ documents and Logseq for notes my battery lasts most of the day but if I forget to charge it, it's a pain to use pen and paper for notes.

An older laptop will have a degraded battery, and you really want maximum lifetime with multiple classes in a day.

TIL Timecube is no longer up. That was my go to site for what the internet used to be like.
