There were some old PCI cards that were very badly designed, and they required things plugged into them from inside the case, or they needed to plug into things on the motherboard. I had card that controlled Cold cathode tube lighting that could also connect to audio to sync to the music that worked that way

But, the actual answer is that the grommets are for old-school water-cooling.

Not since I was kicked out at 15 for being gay.

Happy Pride month!

Have you looked into Mint?

The linux mint forums make it seem like it works out of the box. I know that it worked out of the box for my Thinkpad x380, even the touchscreen, pen, and screen rotation.

by “client” do you mean “just use a browser”?

This is “ask Lemmy”, what is the question?

Before Markus starting saying racist shit, or Q-anon shit, or anti-trans shit.

you missed the “!”, so browsers parse that as an email address

You can change your settings so that nothing plays that you don’t want to, it stops a lot of garbage and ads from websites.

Firefox on your phone:

-click the 3 dot menu on the right
-select settings
-then select site permissions
-then select Autoplay
-choose “block audio and video”

Delivery drivers and emergency services have to park in no-parking zones to do their job

I don’t have an issue with emergency vehicles, when they are responding to an emergency, being in areas that they would not otherwise be allowed to be. Delivery drivers are not comparable to something like an ambulance, and don’t have special privileges unless those privileges are otherwise explicitly outlined.

A delivery driver using the bike lane should be viewed the same as if they parked on the sidewalk. If the delivery driver is going to be breaking the law anyway, they should just pop on their emergency lights and block the road, they would at least be blocking the correct mode of traffic.

Doesn’t Steam keep up with the amount of time people have played their games? Or is it up to the individual games to track that?

Steam does keep track of play time, but I am not sure what playtime has to do with my comment.

They do deserve to be called out. They are not bikes.

They don’t say how they come to that number in the article, so I assume they are using non-sale prices. I know that I’ve gotten some bundles of games in the past that were 95%+ off, which I bought just for the one game because it was the same price or cheaper.

If you’re trying to format a picture, you need to leave 2 spaces at the end of a line for a line break.

If you’re not having a good time, stop. Life is too short.

If you’re still interested in using linux, LinuxMint or PopOs! are what most people would recommend to a new user, not Arch.

Arch can be perfect for users with the time, knowledge, and effort to perfectly tailor things to suit their needs. They can make it perfectly efficient, without any excess.
I just want to use my computer whenever I want it to work. I am fine with it having a few extra packages/applications that I might never use. I’ve being using linux as main (or only) operating system on/off for about 20 years, and I currently use Mint.

Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.

Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn’t just marketing on computers.

It’s wild because it’s not true. Look up McCartney’s Howard Stern interview, or the book he wrote. They spoke on the phone after this.

This seems like an issue with Backblaze, I think?

Opinions greatly differ on if those are great games.

I think they’re not great, but they’re just not build for me, which is fine. Not everything is everyone’s cup of tea.

It’s extremely clickbaity.

He wasn’t working on it, and was invited to play-test what they had. He said he thought it would take 18 months to finish when they asked him, which is what the person who asked him also thought, and anything longer than 6 months ment it would be cancelled.

It’s like when someone asks you if the soup they are making is too salty, you say yes, and they pour it down the drain. You’re not the person who threw it away.

Lockdowns help highlight a lot of “just because it’s what you do, not because it’s actually good” things for people.
Theatres are generally awful. They are really only good if you want to do an event as a group, and not one has a space big enough to host.

The food costs too much, people make gross mouth noises when eating the expensive food, the seats aren’t comfortable, things aren’t clean, people talk, people pull out their bright phones, the sound levels are all over the place, you sometimes have a bad viewing angle, you pay a lot of money but still shown 20 minutes of ads at the start, you need to worry about things like bed bugs, you need to plan a specific time to go, people bring their kids to non-kid movies, going to the bathroom is awkward, colour balancing is all over the place, drunk/high people react in distractingly bad ways, and probably many more reasons.
