Mirror images more resemble being flipped inside out. Sort of.

Imaging holding your hand out flat, parallel to the ground while facing a mirror. The tips of your fingers would be closest to the mirror.

Now imagine if you were wearing a glove on that hand and you took the glove off so it were inside out.

If you were to compare the inside out glove to the reflection of the hand the glove came from, they would look similar.

Mirrors just show us what they see.

When they announced when windows 10 support would end. The writing was on the wall and each update was a toss up whether it would add a useless feature.

I knew from experience many years ago that windows would delete grub if it so much as looked at it funny. So I got an amd card and cut windows out cold turkey.

Linux has a whole host of weird quirks and issues, just like windows. But it’s either something documented, fixable, or will be fixed in an update. I’m more excited to click update in Linux than I am with windows too.

Few pieces of software don’t work with either wine or a windows VM as backup. But so far I’m not missing much. Missing out on some games because of anti cheat sucks though. Even though I hate anti cheat, I still love a good game of league.

Unless I’m mistaken, the malware isn’t on the CPU. The exploit is CPU, but the firmware is stored on the bios chip. Used motherboards are a potential for having malware on them, but then again they always have been a risk

You see I play both sides, that way I always come out on top

That 1080ti deserves a rest, but I would totally build a second PC with it

Israel’s ministry of peace said on Thursday that the withholding of arms would pose no obstacle to the swift end to the looming Hamas threat. They added - All previous Palestine land will be ready for Israel citizen settlements by next spring. /s In case that’s necessary.

Another option is You could use an NFC tag placed inside the car instead. Scan to toggle recording.

For the love of Tux, whatever you do install Arch on the btrfs file system so you can time shift back whenever arch decides to try and ruin your day on an update.

Is that the platinum trophy?

Honestly, if this laptop is primarily for work, then you should stick to windows. Keep the workflow the same as your coworkers so issues aren’t blamed on your abnormal setup. You’re already using un-privacy work related apps like zoom either way right?

Unless you really have the time and inclination to iron out these bugs on your work machine, then save Linux for your personal computer. It would help to get used to the environment and how stuff works rather than jumping in cold.

Linux has come a really far way since I remember tinkering with it in high school, but it’s still “not quite there” yet. Crazy improvements are happening all the time though with community effort. Though idk if it will ever be at the point where it works out of the box for everyone.

We live for no other reason than that we can. Against all odds, in a universe that wasn’t trying to make us alive, we became more than the sum of our elements that compose us: to be the thinking and thriving things that we are - for as long as we are. Life itself is an act of defiance against the universe, but ultimately playing by it’s rules with the understanding that we can only do so for a finite amount of time.

Your cat too was one of those defiant and emergent souls that used the universe as it’s playground full of strangers, bullies, and friends alike. Never forget that which it did not know: that its time was short but miraculous in the grand scheme of a universe borne of chaos but twinkling with unexpected life.

That’s not something windows can do

When I first got into ps2 emulation I tried Jak and Dexter and it worked great. The only issue were the eyes of character models were wonky as hell and would often look in different directions, not load, broken textures, etc. I snapped this screenshot of Jak right after the green sage yelled at him and he stood at attention with his eyes crossed. I use this photo for everything now even though it’s so tiny you can’t see his eyes.

In high school, my friends and I were getting into Ubuntu. We were smug Linux nerds. We came up with the idea of installing Linux on one of the school computers. The challenges in doing so was, how to do so without the teacher noticing and getting into the locked bios. The teacher problem was solved when we got a little bit of time when the teacher would step out of the room sometimes. We picked a desktop that wasn’t being used by anyone at the time in the class. The other problem was getting into the bios to boot the drive. Long story short, we were able to switch a jumper on the motherboard to clear the bios settings and let us boot the drive. With Ubuntu installed, it took all of about a day for the school to take that PC to the IT gulag. I think they were very confused and threw it out. We didn’t want them to just throw more desktops out so we stopped our shenanigans there.
