Sorry to Bother You getting too close to reality

Ouya

Whoa, deep cut

For the Google-specific stuff, maybe just use a different browser that supports it? My current approach is multiple browsers, but minimize Google/Chromium as much as possible.

8.1 addressed my issues.

Will need multiple semesters for that shit.

Eggland’s Best and Land O’ Lakes

That’s good to hear! Cosmic looks really great, but I’m gonna have to wait since the laptop is meant to be a personal machine for my partner to use.

If the XML standard is overly complex, does that mean it’ll be a bigger pain for MS employees to maintain? Sounds like cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face.

I installed it on my old laptop. I’m happy it’s breathing new life into it, but the Pop_Shop is SO SLOW.

Suffering from success?

Would be nice if there was an artist signature or something that we could reference.

Definitely noticed that with Mastodon – there’s not a whole lot of folks talking/reacting with one another. I suspect it’s related to the user base (doesn’t have critical mass, demographics, or activity) or a discoverability issue. Bluesky, on the other hand, has a whole lot more engagement on a host of topics.

The best they can do is probably close their Canadian/Mexican plants if the losses are too great, which would increase unemployment in those areas for not only the automotive factories, but also the ones for the automotive suppliers. Even if a Chinese company swoops in to buy the factories, it’d take time to set things up.

They did that when the TPP was scraped too.

Cheap USBs mean cheap read/writes.

Happy to help! Oh one more thing: Microcenter price matches, so look at competing sites the day before you go.

Here’s some general thoughts in no particular order:

• PC Part Picker is your friend for compatibility and sorting through all the options.

• I have a Fractal North XL. It’s a solid case. If you don’t need a top of the line GPU, the regular North will do just fine.

• Add some head room for your power supply. Get a gold or better rated one from a reputable brand.

• Try to buy in-person from a Microcenter if you can. I brought a tablet with my list and they actually recommended some better in-house deals after reviewing my build concept. I saved money and ended up getting some backup parts.

• From what I understand right now is that AMD is a better choice than Intel for CPUs.

• Having one SSD as your primary drive and a secondary drive for data storage can be useful, especially if you need to reinstall the OS.

• If you want to get into video/photo editing you’ll want to consider getting more memory/RAM.

• Take pictures while you build. Have some small containers ready for all the screws you’ll be managing.

• Build with a friend that has done this before if you can.

• Jays2Cents has a lot of good consumer-focused videos without going too far into the technicals like GamersNexus.

• You may find an entry level GPU useful for basic photo and video editing, but I’d read up on what’s available on Linux and what’s really needed.

Makes me think of the episode of Batman Beyond called “Shriek.”

If you’re going on a long road trip, yes.

Yeah for the same price as the color option you could get a Garmin Vivoactive​ on a sale.
