I still love this machine. On MacOS, it still runs very well but is not supported anymore unfortunately. I have installed Mint on it and it was very sluggish. I then went for Ubuntu 22.04 and gnome 42.9 and it has been much better, keyboard, battery, trackpad and shortcuts have been supported mostly out of the box.

But it's still fairly slow, and it seems I haven't managed to use the discrete GPU (NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M). Gaming on this, even with a low spec game, is impossible. Granted, 8Gb of ram feels a bit tight nowadays but it certainly has the raw power!

Any other distro you'd recommend? Or perhaps a specific setup I could give a try to enjoy my MacBook at full power?

Hi everyone! I've been cycling for years now, spent 5 years in Paris cycling without eye protection. But since I moved to London, I've felt the need to protect my eyes from the wind and humid air. I'm currently using a copy of the 100% S2 (these) I had found on eBay. But when I cycle in winter over 20mn I tend to have to close one eye to avoid arriving at my destination with my eyes very dry and/or crying. It's manageable but quite tiring.

I've just bought a pair of Decathlon Perf 500 (these) and while a tiny bit better my eyes still suffer from the cold wet air.

Is it because I haven't found the right pair that would suit my eyes, or do I need in an expensive pair if glasses?

I'm seriously considering some kind of ski mask or closed off goggles, even if I'd look like a donkey lol

Any advice would be great!

I'd like to start a couple therapy with my partner. I'm not too sure where I should look, if it's a good idea to do that online or if I should aim at having it in person. Any good website you recommend? I would love to hear your experiences as well. I'm in South London. Thanks!

I'm a man in my 40s. I've tried fancy creams in the past and they were nice but I always reverted to using Nivea soft because I could buy big pots that were cheap and last a long time. I've been told that cream is nice for the body but not recommended for the face. What would you recommend for a daily use, that's not too expensive? I'm based in the UK.

Pas sûr que quelqu'un puisse m'aider. C'est (je crois) une chanson qui a une dizaine d'année, plutôt amateur mais qui avait pas trop mal marché. Chantée par un homme et une femme, la trentaine max. Je me souviens pas du tout des paroles à part le moment où le mec rappe sur "pizza bière foot, camembert !". Je sais c'est pas énorme, mais ça vous rappelle pas quelque chose ?

My wife has something akin to a for corn. Went to the gp, they froze it and it came back. Our health insurance doesn't cover it. When looking online we find more beauty clinics, or weird specialist who don't inspire confidence. We probably overlooked something. Is there a different term? We're in the south London area.

I found an old notebook PC lying around and I'm wondering if it could be enough to run a few services like the arr suite, qbittorrent and pi-hole.

Here's a few specs: Cpu : Intel Celeron 1011 1.6ghz Ram : 1Gig Ethernet port

If you think it's not a total waste of time, what distro would you install?

A great article on video games gambling addictions.

Hi guys, I replaced two broken spokes on my Elops 900e electric bike's rear wheel. I've trued the wheel before with the zip tie trick, but I just bought a spoke tension meter to try to be a bit more precise and spread the load evenly on the spokes. Is there a simple way to get an average tension target for the spokes? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

A well balanced review I enjoyed reading!
