Unless of course you have a heat pump (or an A/C with a reversing valve, which is the same thing). Which by all means please use that instead. You’re not going to top a heat pump in terms of efficiency. We’re talking 300% efficient heat production minimum. Best you can hope for with electric heating is 100%.

Which is funny because the Neo-Geo was a very much sprite-based 2D machine. What did they even mean by “4D”?

I said what I said because it’s relevant today. I literally had this issue last month with modern hardware, when I couldn’t get HDR working properly in KDE 6 Plasma (colors are washed-out and have no contrast when HDR is on). And features from my GPU are completely missing, like SDR-to-HDR conversion, AI upscaling, and the entire 3D Settings Page (the one where you can change settings not available in-game). When I ask people for help with restoring these features/settings, no one has any idea what I’m talking about. So I gave up and went back to Windows.

I don’t care so long as food and shelter are provided, and I don’t have to pay for it.

There’s also the fact that if you have modern hardware, you’ll find that half the features that you paid for don’t work properly in Linux (or at all). It’s a great OS to keep an old PC alive, though.

Tell the family to stop being cheap bastards and to pay their damn cell phone bills already, so that you don’t have to keep using that Meta-owned crap.

Just buy a mosquito net and an Off® candle like the rest of us do.

If you were raised by Christian fundamentalists (the kind who believed that church was evil), then you also heard it in 1994, and twice in 2011. Two straight years of world-ending predictions. It was fatiguing.

Because it adds nothing to the discussion

The MG3620 is like $70 and has wifi. Accepts refilled cartridges too and will print without whining, regardless of what color ink is out. It does everything I need a printer/scanner combo to do without any extra BS. Even mobile printing is a straightforward, app-free process.

Firefox is Netscape; this makes no sense and shouldn’t exist.

An hour? How do you make it that far? If I can’t pick it up within 10 minutes, I’m not learning that skill.

Mario Kart 64 and F-Zero X are far superior to both. Never got into the originals. The flatness of Mode 7 was a major turnoff for me as a kid in the 90s. So I waited for 3D on consoles to get better and look more like the 3D I’ve seen on PCs and in the arcade, before I begged my parents for a console for Christmas.

Disagree. It didn’t have rumble. That reason alone is why I always stuck with the wired controllers.

Assuming this is government funded, I’d be more than happy to spend a couple of years at such a place. I need to take a break from reality and not worry about bills for a bit.

Not if I can help it.

I’ve managed to filter out most of the cars hate from my feed. You can take my 350Z from my cold, dead hands, once I inevitably get into a fatal accident on the highway.

Because I’ve never used such a website before and thought I’d give it a try.

Finally got around to signing up to Bluesky after avoiding Twitter for almost two decades and, well…I don’t get it. The entire thing is basically just Shower Thoughts, Shower Thoughts featuring politics, and the occasional picture of a cat… That’s it? Really? It’s like a more boring version of Lemmy and Imgur. Please explain what I’m missing here cause I lost all interest after about 30 minutes on the site.

It smells like a burning rope that was sprayed by a skunk. You’ve smelled it before without even realizing it. It’s everywhere.

Everything is available for streaming when you have Stremio.
