I tried building a Steam box with the bootleg version of SteamOS from the deck... Can't remember the name of the distro. Steam Games ran great for the most part, but getting Epic, EA and Ubisoft to work was a nightmare. If Linux can get that sorted, I'd never use Windows again.

76% of AZ water use is for agriculture, but that's besides the point. I've read that most of the water used in a fab gets recycled, so once up and running, water usage isn't as much if an issue as you'd think.

I read 1/3rd of that article and I still have a headache. Awful writing...natch.

Why should all but the wealthiest be allowed to own an assault rifle? I think that's a recipe for disaster.

I'll vote for whomever is not Trump. Period. If it's Biden, fine. Someone else? Fine too.

I know it's Ubisoft, but friends I played Division 1 and 2 with recommended Ghost Recon Wildlands. On sale for $4.99usd. Picked it up and really enjoying the open environment and gameplay.

Would love for the grid to be actually competitive to Max. For once.

Responsible gun ownership? No. Unfortunately, you have too many uneducated and irresponsible people out there that shouldn't have access to a lot of things, much less guns.

Fuck. I'm just waiting for Haro Seldon to show up now.

I'm late to the party and brand new, but I just went through what you're going through. I ended up buying an A1 based on the potential ability to add AMS later on and potentially print ABS/ASA.

I was heavily considering an Ender 3 V3 KE, but a few mentioned they just wished they would've gone Bambu, even though they had success with their KE. I just don't have as much time to futz with stuff as I'd like right now, and I want something that's relatively easy for my kids to use.

If you're tight on budget and like the tinkering aspect, I saw an eBay store oddly enough named SovolOfficial, that sells unrepaired and/or refurbished Enders for extremely cheap prices. Like around $50usd for Ender 3's. If it went for the time and kiddo aspect, I'd be all over that, modding along the way.

Where do you think our cops are going to come from when China invades Taiwan? This was necessary.

Like I wrote, Steam games were generally good, other storefronts, not so much.

I did that, except I couldn't get Lutris or Heroic to work. Also tried several distros and delving into repositories... several weeks and I just couped get it to work. Ironically, W11 does exactly what I wanted, even with uac.

Well, they do have to have a search warrant first.

I'll take a look. I tried 4 or 5 distros like Nobara. Had to pull from old repositories. Learned a lot but after a few weeks, I just wanted to play games and I found a way for w11 to work the way I wanted.

Tried it. It's been at least a year and a half, but if memory serves, I think I always had to login for startup. I wanted to be able to just turn on and have steam roll into it's startup screen like a console.

Tried 4 or 5 distros and each had an issue that kept me from that console like experience. Ironically, I was able to do that with w11.

I want able to get it to work unfortunately. This was a few years ago though.

Andor was fantastic. Solo was ok.

It didn't work before, maybe I'll try it again when I have the time.

Except China has advantages in supply chain integration and way cheaper labor that's kept artificially low by it's government playing games with it's currency exchange rate.

Translation: our workers are paid better, our companies follow relatively strict environmental law (or used to) and our government hasn't helped spy on other countries' technology advancements and given it to private industry to beat the other guys.

That's a pretty steep advantage to China.
