Look, I happen to know what this is but I really hate posts that just assume everyone knows what they’re talking about.

So for everyone else: this is the newly announced Steam Machine, a gaming PC/console that will run SteamOS (Linux) and overall looks freaking awesome.

I use both btw

Woah. Sir, this is trademark infringement. You’re only allowed to use that phrase with Arch.

Yup, Cinnamon is slow on Wayland support, but they’re getting there. Eventually.

Well, if you insist… How far is it from Toronto to Ottawa? (bracing myself…)

but if you hear a Canadian say “miles per hour”, it also means km/h

Tell me you’re joking.

Don’t think about a pink elephant.

Police, this guy right here.

The post. The email in the screenshot.

I call bullshit. I hate Microsoft as much as the next guy, but this seems fake to me.

Edit: I initially assumed OP created the fake email deliberately for ragebait. But most other people are assuming OP thinks (or thought) this email was real, meaning it’s a scam email and OP’s friend might be actively falling for the scam. I now agree with this interpretation. Sorry my initial comments were a bit rude.

What, you think this isn’t real experience? It absolutely is. She’s a true master!

I think (not 100% sure) that UEFI is a replacement for BIOS. All modern computers use UEFI.

People still colloquially call it “BIOS” because it serves a similar purpose, but there is a technical difference.

0/5 stars. We stayed here for an infinite amount of time over the holiday. Every 10 minutes the staff moved us to a different room! We didn’t even get a chance to unpack our infinite luggage.

Yup, that’s my interpretation too. It just doesn’t sit well with all the other operators.

All the others are phrased as direct questions about the values of A and B:

• A AND B = “Are A and B both true?”
• A OR B = “Are either A or B true, or both?”
• A NAND B = “Is (A AND B) not true?”
• A IMPLIES B = “Is it possible, hypothetically speaking, for it to be the case that A implies B, given the current actual values of A and B?”

You see the issue?

Edit: looking online, some people see it as: “If A is true, take the value of B.” A implies that you should take the value of B. But if A is false, you shouldn’t take the value of B, instead you should use the default value which is inexplicably defined to be true for this operation.

This is slightly more satisfying but I still don’t like it. The implication (ha) that true is the default value for a boolean doesn’t sit right with me. I don’t even feel comfortable with a boolean having a default value, let alone it being true instead of false which would be more natural.

Edit 2: fixed a brain fart for A NAND B

I never got why “implies” is called that. How does the phrase “A implies B” relate to the output’s truth table?

I have my own “head canon” to remember it but I’ll share it later, want to hear someone else’s first.

I desperately want to know if this is:

1. A toy factory actually finding a creative use for excess stock of the doll head
2. A creative parent fixing their child’s toy
3. Just a joke for a meme

I followed a number of guides to try to get it to work. Including doing that. No dice.

I still think it’s probably user error on my part, but I’m still shocked there was no command to effectively “force run an unattended upgrade now” to test that it works correctly.

The OP did it in the wrong order. First do update to refresh, then do upgrade to install.

There are even better ways built into the shell, but I can never remember any of them. I also never thought of history|grep, I think I might actually remember that one. Thanks!

It’s through Update Manager (mintupdate) for me, but I definitely feel like the happy guy looking out at the nice view.
