I believe you can already play games on the Tesla's screen.

I do hope they're disabled when driving...

All three? Surely you must be forgetting OUYA, KFC and Soulja Boy!

Born in that time frame. Windows XP was just finicky as hell, no matter how much praise it got later. If you wanted your Internet to work you just had to flush the DNS cache or just disable and re-enable the interface occasionally. Hell, same for my mouse - occasionally had to use the keyboard to disable and re-enable the mouse drivers.

Now shit just works. Only reason I've had to fiddle around so much in recent years is that I used Gentoo for a couple of years. Though by the time I was bored with it, it worked better than Windows XP ever did.

Given that a lot of other people are praising him and his videos, could you maybe point out some of these mistakes?

I know it could probably be googled, but it's always better to come to a discussion with information if you're going to criticize someone or something (to be fair - it's also better to have information if you're praising someone or something)

Might want to try chmod +x instead

Operating system so TrueNAS in your case

People keep saying you can't use Nvidia GPUs with Linux or that the experience is horrible, but truth be told, if you already have one, you can keep it no problem. The main scenario where it still had issues as of last year was if you used KDE Plasma with Wayland on Nvidia (though I hear Plasma 6 improved a lot of it - not sure, because I didn't have a lot of issues on Plasma 5 either).

Your best bet for Nvidia GPUs is an Ubuntu-based distro. Ubuntu itself is an option though not necessarily the best - they bake in some ads and a lot of people aren't fans of being forced to use Snap, which has a proprietary backend unlike Flatpak. Personally I'd say go for Linux Mint with the Cinnamon desktop if you want a Windows-like desktop environment and Pop!_OS if you want something completely different altogether from Windows. On Mint or Ubuntu you can install the drivers from the provider proprietary driver installer (super simple), on Pop!_OS you can just get a Nvidia iso and have them preinstalled.

But honestly, I didn't even have issues with Nvidia when I was on Gentoo, supposedly one of the harder distros to maintain.

Would I buy a Nvidia GPU now that I've completely ditched Windows? Probably not, but I'm also not in a hurry to replace my 3060 Ti just to get rid of the logo.

I was satisfied with Apple Music myself (until I no longer had need for it), but I keep hearing that Tidal is one of the better services if Apple doesn't quite cut it for you. Supposedly they have a reasonably fair cut for the artists compared to Spotify, and also good audio quality (to be fair, Apple has high quality available too, if you enabled it in the settings)

TIL.

I suppose that's why nobody makes car body panels out of it.

Diesel euro wagon gang here.

I've used them to move, to haul furniture or copious amounts of firewood... And 2 out of the 3 I've owned have had ridiculous mileages put on them by previous owners, while still maintaining reliability as far as the powertrain is concerned (admittedly, I've had to deal with minor electric issues and obviously I've replaced some control arms and tie rods).

Thought trucks were cool when I was a kid, but now I just don't see them being practical or economical enough considering the last year of my life has involved an average of 1000 km weekly.

Because the stainless steel is not stainless and a protective coating is optional, not standard like... you know, on every other car.

I'm amazed nobody has yet linked the alternative, http.dog
