Or at the very least a rivergull

Also, the caps separated from the bottle fall through dinky cracks easier, like street drain covers) and get lost easier (or drop out of the bottom of the bin easier, etc.), being attached to the large bottle makes that more difficult to occur.

It's true, my language suggests I had researched that and found it to be true. When the truth is I just trusted my friends recount. I'll edit my post.

Fuck these guys... Seriously. I bought a phone off of them hyped at the idea of the ethics. It didn't work on arrival. Over 3 months later and not one single reply to my helpdesk request (other than the Automated acknowledgement of receipt).

Unbelievably bad user experience, I went from hyped at the concept of reducing my production of electronic waste to beyond disappointed at a brutally bad user experience.

Then to make matters worse, it is difficult to source spare parts for the fairphone 4 (according to a friend of mine who owns one that he bought a while ago)... Like is that not the entire point of the phone, reduced consumption of new phones by supporting repairs. If you're going to stop producing the spares at least release the patents then.. if you really believe in the promoted ideals that you spout... Which they clearly do not.

It turns out that it's just another money hungry company hell bent on burning the planet down to see a line go up, as far as I'm concerned. All gaff to sell shite phones at higher prices.

Do not buy.

Yeah, I travelled solo a few times to see if it was for me, and generally it left me feeling very lonely and disconnected from everyone around me, and uncomfortable going anywhere like a restaurant or a bar.

This idea is too good to not exist

I found the concept hard to get a grip on

I would watch this. Especially if it was an angry Brit, rather than a dramatic American. And even more if it didn't keep replaying the same 5 minutes of telly before and after each ad break. And even more if it didn't have an ad break every 10 minutes that lasted 5 minutes.

 

Hey everyone,

I have a gaming laptop with fedora installed and in general have no problems with it. However I would like to play some games on it from Steam.

So I installed the Nvidia drivers and when the laptop is not using an external monitor it's great, the games performance are 10/10.

However I most often use my laptop plugged into an ultrawide monitor and when I do that with the Nvidia driver active all sorts of strangle artifacts show up on the screen and the edges go blue and shudder, this slowly gets worse over the course of about 15 minutes until I cannot use the laptop at all and need to reboot.

Using the built in drivers the ultrawide monitor is completely fine, but games run very poorly.

Does any one have any experience with this, and any idea if there's something I can do to correct it?
