Yeah, you’re not supposed to use it when you’re fully congested because the water will just get trapped and sit.
There’s a bit of a learning curve and people hesitating can end up with the uncomfortable sensation of “water up your nose” but it really is awesome and life changing once you figure it out.
Every neti pot I’ve ever had recommends either:
A) Warming distilled water and adding salt
Or
B) Boiling filtered tap water, adding salt, and letting it cool down to warm.
If you can, run memtest86 to confirm memory errors are happening
Hardware gore
That’s the telltale pattern of VRAM issues If this system has dedicated graphics, there’s a high tool and skill ceiling to executing repair.
If this has integrated graphics, regular RAM gets used as VRAM and repair is easy as long as the memory is modular
There’s always the possibility that this is a silicon level issue in the GPU/CPU but those cases are statistically less probable
Pretty much every motherboard in the last 10 years has shifted to the “Intel Standard” layout:
Most midrange to high end cases have a single connector that fits right on there, for compatibility they include a breakout adapter.
I agree that opening the door was a mistake - I’m the type to check a camera when I hear a knock.
I think you’re missing the point of my comment. The firearm was likely pointed in response to the blinding light. Your hypothetical “person hurt in an accident” probably would not have had a gun pointed in their face.
By being unable to fathom why somebody would have the means to defend themselves when a stranger is at their door, you’re displaying a certain level of privilege. Must be nice.
Hearing a knock at the door late on April 5, 2023, Dotson put on a robe, went downstairs and grabbed a handgun before answering. Police outside shined a flashlight as Dotson appeared and raised the firearm before three police officers opened fire, killing him. Dotson did not shoot.
The story does not specify whether or not the officers ever identified themselves. If they didn’t, then from his perspective he went to answer his door only to have a bright light in his face.
Biggest problem I encounter is people failing to signal their exit
So I end up being C because I yield to a bunch of bozos who didn’t communicate they were’t going to come my way
Limits app installations to those on the Microsoft Store and also disables Terminal / Powershell.
Makes for a super simple tamper-proof system that is similar to a Chromebook but a little more versatile. It’s a good solution for users who are all-in on the Microsoft ecosystem - think those who live their lives in Edge, Word, Excel. The restrictions keep them out of hot water.
Those restrictions are obviously annoying to those who want to install regular x86_64 apps from an .exe / .msi file or use Powershell / Terminal / CMD.
Switching out of S mode is very easy: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/switching-out-of-s-mode-in-windows-4f56d9be-99ec-6983-119f-031bfb28a307
The issues i get through linux come from my failure to understand it
I’d argue that’s true of any user’s experience with any OS, including what you just experienced with Windows.
Getting out of S mode is actually very trivial, certainly moreso than many of the changes one might be expected to make in Linux. There’s a certain type of user that “S Mode” is intended for. You’re not that user, and Linux is likely to be a negative experience for that user.
As a kid, I remember seeing previews of this on early OXM demo discs and in the magazine itself. I never came across the game in the used games bin, but always had an interest in playing it.
A year or so ago, looked into it as a potentially fun Steam Deck game but was steered away by disappointing Xbox reviews.
Seeing this, I now have the game wishlisted and am looking forward to picking it up on sale!
This review is what did it for me. Love the way you tied it in with your mug :)
Linux has been ready for education for a long time! Most of the public high school machines I interacted with in the mid 2000s were linux based. There was a dedicated Mac lab for creative work.
Trump Slump?
I considered the cost of the hardware and the time I would spend getting it all configured, then collecting the content from various sources.
Ultimately decided that $189 was worth it. I already have too many WIPs and something like this has been sitting on my ToDo list for years already, this is a great shortcut
Getting out of S mode is a few clicks away though. There’s a certain kind of user who actually benefits from it, and nobody is locked in.
RT’s restrictions were primarily architecture based (ARM)
There is no better archive utility than 7-Zip IMO
Just wish there was a MacOS version
Fucking finally
Was a friend’s house recently when they ordered a case of beer.
It showed up 3 hours later. Delivery guy said “Sorry it took so long, I had to go home to charge my phone”
US, but I don’t know that should matter. Even in France, water comes from a variety of sources and boiling / using distilled water eliminates risk, no matter how small.
In my family’s commune (France), there’s a lot of calcium in the tap water - such that you could actually feel it on your skin and in your hair after a shower, appliances like the coffee maker got crusty deposits with use. My grandmother only drank bottled water, I wouldn’t put that through my sinuses even if it were boiled.
