Final Final Project

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)
  1. People with Linux installations tend to have Linux LiveUSBs already created, so finding one is faster. Most people don't keep Windows installations handy, so it takes a while to locate the Media Creator online, download the file, and begin the process

  2. Or if you are someone like me, who keeps an older build of Windows 10 on a flashdrive, the updates require multiple restarts, before being able to install the Feature Updates. Maybe 8 hours is a stretch, but it certainly feels like it

  3. It's possible to do separate %userprofile% drives, sure, but it feels clunky and can't be done during install like you can with Linux

It's funny you talk about people making shit up when my post is slight satire in response to the pure satire meme. Maybe you should talk to OP instead.

Separate /home partitions are a godsend.

Across was good, I just dock it half a point because there's no moment like the What's Up Danger leap of faith from Into.

IMO Into is probably a 9/10 and Across is just below at an 8.5

I swear to god Sony, if you don't release this film, I'll never buy a PS5 or a PS6.

Across wasn't even as good as Into, but the series still deserves a cohesive end.

IMO, blurring a house in Street View could lead to the Streisand effect, especially when 99% of all other property is unblurred.

If you want to remain private, in the case of Street View, your best bet is to keep it as inconspicuous as possible, otherwise people will start looking closer and ask questions; the exact opposite of what you want, even if you have nothing to hide.

Seems like 2 was the asshole here. 1 was waiting for 3, and 2 likely wasn't paying attention.

Dang.

Pop is nice when it works correctly, but I usually have fewer issues with Kubuntu. If you're still not able to get it going, I'd recommend going the Kubuntu route for a potentially easier time.

I've ran into this issue myself in the past, too. BIOS updates and disabling Secure Boot have been the primary things that have fixed it for me when I run into them.

Physics says both use the same amount, just one is spread out more and the other is all at once. I don't have the formula, but basically it takes the same overall effort to stop an object regardless of if it's slowly or very fast.

I'm not entirely sure some of these are a great idea, but what do y'all think?

 

I have a solar panel from a cheap Walmart device I tore down. Hooking it to a Multi-Meter shows it's about 2.25V (probably supposed to be 2.5V but runs a little low?).

What's something useful I can do with it?

 
 

Doug "quickly" goes through his 13, tongue-in-cheek ways to kill a community. IMO it's a great companion piece to Strong Towns and makes for a great discussion piece with other community members.

 
 

Take the smallest pilot hole drillbit you have (1/16" or 1mm) and drill 5-8 holes in the bottom of your trash can. This not only allows the air to escape as the bag fills up, but also makes it easier to remove the trash bag later.

I've done this with two trash cans now and recommend it to everyone.
