Doubling the size in each dimension should at least double the damage

Updating my computers from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 was a whole day process. It doesn’t help that the upgrade tool requires you to press enter every so often.

(Yeah yeah I should try other distros. I’ll play with other distros when I’m not spending my time as pictured in the meme.)

(To be clear this is on a couple computer I personally own. The ones the lab owns are on Ubuntu 20.04 if I’m lucky…)

lol your VPN company is going to kick you the instant you turn on LOIC through them. Your packets wont even get to the target site because you are basically attacking your own VPN.

Cellular respiration is sugar + oxygen -> water + CO2

Combustion reactions are often characterized as anything that is something + oxygen -> water + optionally something else.

A vote for a 3rd party is a vote that you wouldn’t particularly mind a second Trump presidency.

I’d recommend looking for keyboards with hot-swappable switches. They may be more expensive up front, but they are repairable so they will be much more cost effective in the long term. Plus there are fun things you can do like trying out different switches or even mix-and-matching different types.

I usually have a key fail about once a year or so. For a keyboard without hot swappable switches that’s a new keyboard each time one key fails (assuming it’s a key that’s important, which it usually is - keys you use more frequently are more likely to fail sooner). Keys are like $1 a pop (although you usually have to buy them in bulk).

I used to buy the Corsair keyboard for like $50 each. I switched to a $150 keyboard with hot swappable switches. I’ve had my keyboard for about 5 years now and I think I’ve replaced 3 keys.

I like GoG for the idea of getting games DRM free. I buy from them when I can.

But there’s some key features of Steam GoG just can’t compete with:

• multiplayer infrastructure
• gifts and other interactions with friends

I bought BG3 on Steam instead of GoG solely to make it easier to play multiplayer with my friends.

And these features of Steam you can take advantage of even if you buy from GoG (but where would we be without Steam?)

• VR support
• controller support
• linux support (proton)

Also there’s a much better selection on Steam. But sometimes that’s a bad sign. If a game is present on GoG and Steam, that’s a good sign there isn’t a dedication to shitty DRM, even in the Steam version. If a game is present on Steam only, you have to watch out because that game might be DRM-ridden.

Im not a psychiatrist.

But the things you’ve described here don’t sound normal. There’s a range of strength of most illnesses, so it’s possible you have it but not the strongest form of it.

The first time an app does it I delete it. If I really need it that bad I can just redownload it when I actually need it.

not all that extremely powerful

It’s game-breakingly powerful. It lets you get 3 mana for free instantly. Combined with spells that let you draw extra cards, this can result in having unlimited resources to do whatever you want on the very first turn of a game.

In general the Steam Deck is not the kind of device that is going to run things at max settings. You are gonna play at 720p30FPS low settings but be happy you can play at all on a train or airplane. It’s really meant to be a competitor to the Nintendo Switch than a replacement for a gaming PC.

You can stream from your PC to your couch or bed if you are at home.

They don’t need to recommend you the shows you already know about. They want to recommend you things you haven’t heard about in the hopes that you will find something new that you like so that show will keep you paying once the ones you already are watching are done.
