That econdary drive I highly recommend you find a way to move that out of your house. For me I have a friend 8 hours away, we swap drives on occasion to keep each other’s backups in case of flood/fire/toddler or whatever other force of nature to save ourselves cloud backup costs

Curseforge, another Minecraft launcher that many modpacks get uploaded to and also supports multiple versions, has been working for about a year for me on Linux Mint too incase she ever wants that.

Most people when they hear “drama” they think things like the brain dead hissy fits on reality TV. The kind of pointless fighting we should avoid. Destigmatizing the word would legitimatize that stuff.

We really need a better word for this posts topic where there’s very public back and forth but it’s a much more valid moral disagreement.

That’s even assuming the book you want is available and wasn’t a super limited printing that you couldn’t even begin to afford in the first place.

For anyone stumbling along. “Retina display” is their marketing speak for higher pixel density than “average”.

One of us, one of us!

Give it two weeks and someone will have created a program specifically titled “Twitter Face Bypass” or something

I haven’t read the paper but they might mean “Generative AI”

Google has actually released a software update to try to prevent the modem battery issue and are replacing the battery in affected models for free. Rare easy win from a megacorp

That’s a good point for the future, but I meant on my Pixel 6a and I bought it directly through Google.

That’s yet another trend that’s made me less and less interested in things. You’re not wrong though and will likely be my fall back

Devolving*

I’ve been hemming and hawing. Switched to Linux pretty much full time for my PC, this will push me 100% into FOSS phone. Over half my apps I use would get blocked

Honestly this. Their cpus melting down over the past couple years and their refusal to even acknowledge it hurt their image more than any potential backdoor could.

I feel like we could find ways and tools to help in that situation without stealing the entirety of human knowledge, boiling our planet, and spending a small nation’s GDP. Like better code library discovery or a better mentor environment amongst coders.

I’ve also seen plenty of people get pointed in the exact wrong way to do things by leaning on generative AI and then have to spend even more time getting back on track.

Feasible? Only time will tell. Possible? Caltech did it two years ago. Look up MAPLE. Wireless energy transfer to/from space was achieved.
