+1 for FreeRDP, I use it all the time!

But he’ll throw in a slightly fucked couch for free!

Hair is 100% genetic, products ain’t going to do shit about that. It’s all just a scam targeted at insecure men who want to achieve unrealistic body standards pushed by society. Just own the bald, or don’t, do what you want to do and fuck society.

Just so you know, operating spinning drives this way is a bad idea. If the platters are spinning and the drive tips over, the rotation of the drives resists the movement. This gyroscopic force is enough for the platters to touch the heads which are flying a tiny distance above the platter. Obviously this is a bad thing and will damage the drives.

A quick fix is to just lay them flat or fix both of them together so they have a more stable base to stand on. Putting it in an enclosure is even better.

I’ve looked into Revolt and it isn’t there quite yet. But the road map is extremely promising. I’ll keep my eye on it and as soon as they finish up a couple more features I’m going to use it.

Can’t wait for this update, those audio indicators being bugged annoys me every day.

Thanks, I’ll look into it. It doesn’t seem that easy but might be an option

Looks good, but video chat is a must have. We like to give each other the middle finger often.

I’ve been looking for an alternative as well. My gaming friends always use Skype when we play together. We started a million years ago when Skype was huge and everyone had it and since it kept working, we kept it around.

We tried a lot of stuff, but nothing just works the way Skype always did. Why did MS have to be bitches and get rid of it.

HOW CAN SHE SNAP?

One thing to note, if you are using UEFI this is very unlikely to happen. It was designed from the start to have multiple boot options and Windows itself often has multiple entries. It is very rare for a Windows update to mess with any other boot options in UEFI.

You can just use an activation script. Even though technically Windows won’t be activated using the OEM license in a VM, the license is still present on the machine. So legally Windows is still licensed. To get around the thing not automatically activating, an activation script is an easy fix.

This is a good activation script:

Imagine gate keeping Linux, the irony…

Steam works absolutely perfectly on EndeavourOS. No tweaking or anything required, just install and run. It also runs just about any game I ever tried, with troubleshooting as easy as choosing a different version of Proton from the dropdown.

Please send flowers, I just died from cringe

The annoying thing is, a lot of modern battery protection circuits will brick themselves once they read a too low battery voltage. So not only will they not charge anymore, they will never charge, even with new cells. It’s so dumb and meant to prevent 3rd party refurbished battery packs.

Nice

Betteridge strikes again

Many providers have specific clauses for this. Ever since crypto mining became a thing providers have included in general terms you can’t over use the service. And often specifically against using it for crypto mining.

Providers will normally warn users and only kick them off when no explanation is forthcoming.

Usually this applies to shared services, like a VPS. You pay a lower price because you share hardware. But that only works if the hardware is shared fairly. If another user hogs all the resources, the service is no good for anyone. But it can also apply to seemingly dedicated services, like your own server for example. In that case the server is free to be used for whatever, but things like cooling and power are still shared. A regular dedicated server service will be based on typical use and can kick users out who require too much cooling or power. In cases where the resources are legitimately required, they will offer contracts that allow you to use all of the resources all of the time. But in turn you will have to pay a premium for something like that.

On the surface it may seem like a bit of bullshit, but that’s often what allows prices to be as low as they are. So I’m fine with it, as long as it’s made clear beforehand (which in my experience it is)

Agreed. The downside of community developed software is it can very easily die. All too often almost all of the work is done by one or a few very active people. When they stop working on the project it’s a matter of luck if someone is willing to take it on. I’ve lost more than a few good tools that way.
