Isn’t your GPU an Nvidia RTX 2060? Why are you trying to use the Intel GPU acceleration method? I’m confused

Aw, do you think Twitter is a person? How cute. No, dead naming only applies to people obviously.

Technically still made by Microsoft, but what about VSCodium?

Restarting can be a pain too.

Recently, I decided to install arch linux on an old laptop my sibling gave to me. I’m not new to Linux, I’ve been running a debian server for a year now and I have tried several VMs with different systems. But this was my first time installing arch without a script, and on bare metal.

Installing arch itself wasn’t that much of an issue, but there was a bigger problem: the PC didn’t recognize the pendrive for boot in UEFI mode. It seemed to work in the regular boot mode, but I didn’t want to use that. I made sure to deactivate safe mode and all the jazz. Sure enough, I could get UEFI boot working.

I install arch, works fine, I reboot. Oops! I didn’t install dhcpcd and I don’t know how to use network manager! No internet, great!

In my infinite wisdom, instead of trying to get NM to work, I decided to instead chroot back into the system and install dhcpcd. But my surprise when… The boot menu didn’t recognize the USB again. I tried switching between UEFI and normal boot modes on the bios and trying again, after all it appeared last time after changing it, right?

“Oh it doesn’t appear… Wait, what’s this? No boot partition found? Oh crap…”

Turns out, by changing the setting on the BIOS I probably deleted the nvram and with it the boot table settings or whatever they’re called. I deleted GRUB.

Alas, as if to repent for my sins, God gave me a nugget of inspiration. I swap the USB drive from the 3.0 port to one of the 2.0 ports on the other side and… It works, first try. The 3.0 port was just old and the connection bad. And I just deleted GRUB for no reason.

Usually, I would’ve installed everything from scratch again, but with newfound confidence, I managed to chroot into the system and regenerate the boot table or whatever (and install dhcpcd). And it worked! I had a working, bootable system, and an internet connection to download more packages.

I don’t know what the moral of the story is I just wanted to share it :)

Well, the point of this is a lot of suckers forget about cancelling and it makes Adobe a lot of money.

I don’t know where, but I read that subscription services make a lot of money from people that are paying for it but not using it, or barely using it. I guess the “free trial” is the tasty carrot dangling at the end of the stick to attract new “customers” to this fair and honorable practice of “product as a service”.

Rules for thee…

I see no problem: they can record the original call and postprocess it with AI live for the operators. The recordings would be the original audio.

It is there but almost as a quote… It’s at the end and it just says “and remember, don’t be evil!”. It’s not part of the actual code, so I guess it’s just for show and nostalgia.

Knowing how good companies are at taking decisions, they’d be capable.

How did you text?

If it is not sarcasm then the justification is not bs. And OP agrees it is sarcasm.

Not OP, but heck yeah free stuff! Special thanks to the people providing us Lemmy for free :)

They are being sarcastic, with the emphasis on “purely”, while saying Google’s justification. It’s exactly to point out it’s bs.

I think you’re thinking about 0.001g scales. Those are definitely sensitive to air currents and whatnot. But 0.01g scales are relatively cheap to get, and surprisingly accurate for the price! Maybe not down to the .01g exactly but close enough.

But yeah you don’t want to use one of those to weigh 400g :P

If your scale is 0.01g precise, just measure a coin. Everyone has them and they have really exact weight (down to the .01g).

And corporations want people to pay for it but they don’t want to pay for it themselves. It’s almost as if no one likes copyright, but it benefits some ppl more than others.

Fair criticism. It does feel more “on rails” to me, both story-wise and gameplay-wise, but at the same time the first one was a bit too broken (which made it very enjoyable but in a different way).
