Andor. It feels so different and it is interesting because it builds the empire, but somehow it just felt too different. I watched a video essay about it recently, where the essayist made the point that he loves it for being more serious and darker in tone than most other Star Wars Media. I wonder if seen through this lens I'd enjoy it more during a rewatch.

But Data, you can't use the contracted form... Oh no!

I don't think you need to get yourself banned. Tell them you will make the switch, and when you'll make it. You don't need to explain yourself any further or make excuses.

No, I don't think headphones will changes the skull, unless you put them on a newborn. But I do wonder how much information could be lost, given how much of it is digitalized nowadays.

With tech it's about convenience imo. I am privacy-concious, trying to avoid services like google, but a game's EULA? scrolls to the bottom Accepted. Do Russians mine bitcoins on my machine? Is Unity surveilling me? Who knows.

Then of course these brands put a lot of effort into strengthening consumer loyalty. Make their stores a nice place to be, offer plans especially to minors, so they get used to their products and eco-systems early on. For example Google's ChromeOS laptops in schools. They are cheap and... well... are cheap.

But overall, I think consumers do not realize what they are buying because many buy impulsively, or simply don't know or care about the impact of their purchases. And to some degree, who can blame them? Who has the energy to sort through anything in the grocery store and determine which products are produced through slavery, animal cruelty, stealing the local population's water, aren't sourced locally etc. Because at that point, there's probably nothing left.

The moment you try to min max the economy will fall apart. Replicate new PC parts? Cool, but now intel/AMD/Nvidia will go bankrupt, no more development. So I guess you could min-max the economical revolution. Capitalism doesn't appear to make sense in a world with near endless access to anything.

Personally I'd get heaps of food and water

I hate that by now, I have found a way for capitalist to bill you anyways.

That's a decent price. I would do some research on the mobo and PSU. HP likes to cheap out on those (or did), maybe Omen does, too.

If you use a table saw, take it seriously.

I'd like to add: don't wear gloves, especially ones that are a little to big for your hands.

I don't have the know how to talk about safety and privacy, but here are some caveats.

I think you have to use their client and can't add your adress to 3rd party clients like thunderbird. Their client is however nice to work with.

If you forgot your password, the only way to change it is by using a key that is given to you after account creation. Keep it safe! Check for spelling errors If you lost the note or it's not in you passwordmanager or whatever you use, your account is not recoverable. Their support can't help you reset your pw.

Other than that they make email encryption pretty easy with a checkbox right under the recipient in the email editor.

Another handy feature are the aliases. (Payed feature) You can set up some email adresses for certain purposes, and filter their traffic into different inboxes quite easily. If one of them.get's compromised, deactivate and move in. Your master adress is probably still usable.

What I do not like is the fact that paying customers get support first.

I think hybrid is the way to go. You won't connect with your peers online the way you do irl, and I it's healthy to leave home from time to time. I also work better in a dedicated office space versus at home.

But as a student in an IT related field: God do I hate the uni pcs. They. would. not. run. unity. once. because of some obscure bug with my user profile and I had to waste my lecturers and my time switching users, trying to install the right version every single lesson. For two semesters I could not parttake. On my own PC at home I could have fixed that within minutes because admin rights and decent internet. Heck, I even asked the IT department if I could have admin rights which they denied, quite understadably. Sorry this turned a bit into a rant.

But cutting commute time and getting up shortly before lecture sure is nice :3

Pretty much any variation of power saw. The closer your hands are to the moving saw, the worse. Hand saws are cool tho. Love my Ryoba

Saws. The sound they're making shakes me to my core and having to help someone who almost amputated their finger enforced that fear further

My GPU's fans spin either at 100% or stand still. they rarely ever dip below 1000rpm, and if so, only shortly (see images below). This worries me, and I am 99% sure I'll refund that card, but before buying a new one, I want to make sure the fault is not with my system. This is my first AMD GPU and I am pretty green in Linux.

So far I tried adjusting the GPU's fan curve, with fan-control and CoreCtrl but it didn't change the erratic fan behavior.

I checked my BIOS for 0rpm mode, but couldn't find anything. It also only let's me configure CPU and sys fan curves.

Is there anything I can try before sending the card back to fix these issues or -best case- verify the card is actually causing the issue? I'd hate to get a replacement and face the same issues again.

specsLinux Mint GPU: acer AMD RX7600XT CPU: AMD Ryzen 5800x RAM: 16GB DDR4 @3600mHz; G.Skill Tridentz Neo MoBo: MSI B550Pro-A

imagesTemperature and fan curves over the span of 20min; green = fan rpm, yellow is GPU junction temp, blue is GPU edge temp

Update I REMed it and will get the same.card again, but from a different, more widely adopted vendor. I don't want to spent another week troubleshooting an issue I may not have the skill to fix.

Thank you all for your input :)

I upgraded my trusty old GTX1060 to a RX7600XT. Everything works as it should except for blender. It doesn't find the GPU as a rendering device.

Since the driver manager states "No drivers needed" and when running glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" in the terminal, it outputs OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 24.2.8-1ubuntu1~24.04.1 I figured I had all important drivers installed.

I don't know why blender won't find the GPU. Do you have any advice for a newbie?

sys specsLinux Mint 22 Cinnamon Linux Kernel 6.8.0-53-generic CPU Ryzen 7 5800x GPU RX7600XT MoBo MSI B550A-Pro RAM 16 GB @3600mHz

Solution: Didn't have ROCm installed. For anyone with the same issue, here is a link to the guide I used. I don't know if these were necessary for the solution, but here are the amd drivers, just in case ;)

 

I am running Linux Mint 22 with Cinnamon v6.2.9 on kernel v6.8.0-53-generic and would like to upgrade to a newer kernel. I tried via the update Manager, but the newest kernel listed is the one already in use and I am wondering why?

  • Are the kernels listed based on my hardware?
  • Is my Cinnamon version too old for newer kernels?
  • Is my Mint Version too old for newer kernels?
  • Do I need to update my BIOS? I was too scared to do that in the past three years I owned my system.

Here are my specs:

  • CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
  • GPU nVidia GTX 1060 6GB
  • 16 GB RAM @ 3600mHz
  • MoBo MSI B550 A-Pro

I quite new to Linux and don't really know what I am doing. Therefore, if you need any other information I'll be happy to provide it.
