Would the Prometheus count as three?

Low level explanations for high level PC hardware knowledge.

I appreciate channels like Gamers Nexus, but a good chunk of the information they put out, are just funny words to me.

I mean the man is a lawyer. Surely that makes it legal, right?

League of Legends. A little proud to say that it took a lot of time to remember I used to dump hours into that hellscape of a game.

Don’t get me wrong, League can be fun and some champ designs are just chef’s kiss. But at some point I just felt like I wasn’t improving any more and got far less.endorphins And ofc, the community is salty and unable to understand that flaming=lower win chances. And I have to admit, I was easily irritated, too, writing messages to support faster than Karen can call the cops.

After quitting I realized it was either a way to distract myself from my problems or actually a form of punishing myself. I wouldn’t be surprised if many other players were stuck with it for that reason, perpatuating the toxicity further.

I’d pay to watch that plotline

This beckons the questions if the Borg have backups of the hivemind to roll back to, just in case.

Brake checking the person behind them. But yeah, it’s a lot less common than tailing I guess

Telling the “computer” to do a thing and it just does. AI has it’s upsides and saves me so much time and energy

Not keeping proper distance to the vehicle in front or behind them

How reliable is your gpu in linux, and what are you usually using it for, if you don’t mind me asking?

I’d like to add drinking to that. If your hobby is drinking, and you drink several times a week, you might have an issue.

but it’s not an ADHD “pick up every hobby” friendly one

That’s true. I was in luck and there was a blacksmith in town who opens his workshop to kids on occasion or travels to job conventions and brought his tools with him. Maybe there are comparable activities/ offers near you, which I can highly recommend. Not only will you not have to worry about tools and materials, most importantly there will be a “teacher” around.

If you find something and decide to check it out, have fun! :)

Blacksmithing is one of the few hobbies that a guy probably can’t teach his girlfriend because women usually use a different technique to make up for strength differences.

Me, a woman who tried blacksmithing before: Don’t use spring steel or other metals that are hard to manipulate/hammer into shape when starting off. Don’t start with a sword, start with bending and twisting a nail into… whatever. If they like the hobby they’ll stick to it and the muscle will build over time. And if it doesn’t: power tools.

underrated comment xD

I am a Linux beginner so i could be wrong, but I believe Linux is very plug and play and has drivers already integrated. At least I don’t remember downloading any when I set it up. I am personally using Linux Mint Cinnamon with a GTX 1060. In Mint there is a Driver Manager preinstalled which let’s you pick a few nvidia drivers and an open source alternative, so it’s very beginner friendly :)

do I have to use the onboard graphics till i get everything installed?

To that I can confidentially say no: because I have no onboard graphics and always had video output ^^

Honestly, I didn’t like the portrail of Harry’s and Tom’s friendship either. Harry often plays second fiddle to Tom - most vividly in the holonovels. Tom is usually the main character while Harry is playing the sidekick. It never felt to me like they were seeing eye to eye.

I switched from Win10 to Mint, and am quite happy. You can get a lot of stuff done through GUI, so you can put off learning how to use the terminal a little. If you are worried about using it, I can recommend using ChatGPT. Helped me troubleshoot a lot of issues and learning a few tricks.

Not sure I’d want to experience Pon Farr first hand… so, ditch Spock, f**k Kirk, because… Kirk. And marry Bones I guess

I’d like to spin your argument into the other direction.

During the 3rd Reich and the years leading up to it, Hitler used the financial crisis, poverty and unemplyment to emtionalize people in order to make them vote for the NSDAP. His party/regime used a psudoscientific and non-factual ideology to dehumanize a part of the population. In this case most prominently jews but other ethnicities, gays, lesbians, disabled, too.

Let’s compare this to Trump and see how accurate the comparison is. There is a financial crisis right now, not as bad as the great depression, but a lot of people in America struggle to meet month’s end from what I understand. Trump uses this, talking about tarrifs and boosting the american economy. He also doesn’t rely on facts or logic in his program. He claims bizarre things like “windmills will give you cancer through the sound they emit” to push against renewable energy and the protection of climate and nature. He also dehumanizes parts of the american population. In his first term he banned Muslims from entering the US. using the already very latent distrust/ hate against the muslim population. He called for a wall on the mexican border, claiming mexican immigrants are through and through criminals, alledgedly endangering US citizens, when in actuality southern states are highly dependent on these immigrants to take low wage jobs in agriculture. Also, as laughable as it is: “They eat the cats” is part of that, too. He also has follows an anti-lgbtq+ ideology.

Hitler of coursed lived in a different time and people back then faced slightly different problems, but the patterns are similar. The goals are similar. They both follow an ideology that values people differently, based on percieved usefullness to a nationalist image of society.

Not comparing right-extremist leaders to the third Reich, not holding them up against that is, disrespectful to those who suffered. Trump has not comitted a genocide, but the ideology he popularized opens the gates far and wide for abuse of any kind. So I believe that we should compare him to Hitler to make it very clear where his actions could very realistically lead.
