Still a bit bizarre. I feel like with 2TB NVMe as cheap as it is, HDDs in anything remotely portable are insane.
Now they make sense in RAID/NAS stuff, but I feel like ones the 3.5” ones.

I like CoreCtrl. I don’t know how well it works with Intel and Nvidia, but it’s great on my AMD Thinkpad and desktop.
I haven't researched this (I don't have kids), but out of curiosity, what type of mobile device is your daughter using? Also, I think PiHole is a solid recommendation like others recommend.
Otherwise, from a quick Google, I don't know of anything that can integrate both Linux PC and mobile phone screen time. Honestly, this sounds like a fun project I could implement someday if I ever had the will. However, for right now, in terms of screen time all I can think of is reading system logs (perhaps via SSH) to manually analyze your daughter's screen time.
So you felt nothing when they were briefly on DS9 and stopped by Quark's before getting lost in the Delta Quadrant? You bring dishonor to your house! (In fact, Tom gets in a barfight with Quark (not shown on screen, unfortunately) in that one timeline where Harry was never assigned to Voyager.)
Just kidding about the "dishonor to your house part". Honestly, I like some of the fun 90s Trek had with crossovers, especially how VOY sort of rehabilitated Barclay. Honorable mention to that thing where Bashir helped Data have dreams. I guess O'Brien and the eventual Worf being mains on DS9 count as well; I think despite his flaws getting really annoying, Worf gave us an excuse for the fun Klingon political plot lines.
As an actual question, though, do any of the following apply to you?:
- Didn't also watch DS9 as a kid.
- Were watching Voyager out of order, only catching random episodes, etc.
- All of the above
I was sticking with characters that had already been introduced at the time, which was hard because I wanted so bad to add Vic Fontaine saying, “Hey, what’s the big idea here, pally?”
ROCm is basically AMD’s GPU compute system, like CUDA but worse but better because the card is actually usable for desktop stuff.
However, they only support it on specific distros, and they’re really weird about what cards they support. This should be changing soon - Debian’s been working on packaging it natively, and I think so has Fedora.
"Such an amateur lack of focus and balance."
Moriarty or the exo-comp makes sense, but I feel like Lore's tried to blow up the Federation or whatever enough times she could at least spare an asterisk.
Assuming you have a free PCIe slot, maybe just buy a PCIe USB card to use instead of what seems to be a faulty AMD USB controller.
I agree with you on the 580, although I got mine new and use it with 2 1080P monitors. I do wonder if ROCm works any better on newer cards, but I don't have my hopes up.
Honestly, just play with Linux in a VM for a while.
For your sanity, I have several recommendations:
- Linux has a central location to install apps called package repositories. Those packages are well-tested and tend to be extremely safe, so try to install from there first.
- Sometimes, apps aren’t available from the main package repository, so you have to source them from elsewhere. To avoid some of the fear, you can try using a thing called Flathub. I won’t go into all the intricacies of how it works or why it exists, but suffice it to say, some of the apps there have a verification checkmark.
- Also, when installing an app, research it online and find the Git(hub/lab/ea) repository. Start by checking if it’s under an open source license like GPL, BSD, or MIT. Although not a sure thing (like the XZ incident, which was an isolated incident), half the time if it’s under one of those FOSS licenses means the app is legit. In addition, check to make sure the source code is actually there- repos with just an executable file and a readme telling you to buy something are red flags.
- Finally, don’t go running random commands online without first researching what it does (with manpages or the like).
I would recommend Googling the following and reading about these:
- Linux directory structure
- Linux package managers
Thanks. I actually overlayed a transparent image of Badgey over to get the relative sizing right. The eyebrows I did by myself, though, partly based on image reference; on the last one, though I tried to capture angry 10th doctor going stone cold through the ISS Cerritos hallways slaughtering fascists left and right.
I might add proportions were very hard and his eyes are actually proportionally much bigger than prime Badgey because when I tried to make the proportions the same, he looked TOO derpy.
