Blu Rays are actually kind of garbage

The problem with VLC is not that it can't play certain formats, but that the version of VLC shipping with Fedora is missing certain codecs.

Fedora is not allowed to include them for legal reasons, so you have to install them yourself.

This is a huge pain for the average user, but distros cannot really do anything about it.

You could try fixing the codecs using rpmfusion or alternatively install VLC as a Flatpak.

Take my money, Valve

If we are being fair, they are still reasonably fair to users. Open source gaming is not a reality.

They don't force you to use Steam, but still work on Proton as Open Source. They don't lock down their hardware.

What I'm trying to say is, while Valve is not perfect, it's much better than any big tech alternative.

TIL there are approximately 13 sextillion transistors in existence

The numbers are totally off though.

A current-gen iPhone SoC (or CPU, the sources are not very clear), nhas about 19 billion transistors. That does not include transistors from flash memory. Following the numbers it does also not include RAM.

IPhone transistor count becomes completely irrelevant when you start looking at flash chips. Even a 16GB flash drive can contain 64 billion transistors.

Dieser Comic, aber die Frau löst das Problem korrekt und der Typ der im ersten Panel den Fehler gemacht hat bringt die Aussage im Zweiten trotzdem.

FreeCAD 1.0 schon probiert? Keine Garantie, dass das jetzt funktioniert, aber Geometrie nachträglich zu verändern sollte wesentlich besser gehen (topological naming problem).
