Anywhere from very important to not important at all, depending on your specific job.

There is some good news though, you’ve been lied to about sucking at math. Whether by yourself or other people I do not know, but the education research I have seen has been pretty clear that the main difference between people of normal intelligence who are ‘good at math’ and those ‘bad at math’ is how long they’re willing to work on a problem to ensure the correct answer before moving on.

I know ‘try harder’ sucks as an answer but it’s the best one I know of and at least in this case will actually make a difference.

I give it 3 more years, tops, until Windows is fully a subscription service. Hope you enjoyed the era of owning your PC because it’s coming to an end.

I started the ubuntu path on warty, was a distro vagrant after unity arrived, switched to debian a while which was and is fine, decided to give manjaro a shot and couldn’t stand it, but oh how that AUR made me swoon. Finally worked up the nerve to lose the training wheels and try just arch, got tired of the immense chore that it became and found EndeavourOS.

I cannot recommend endeavour highly enough. It’s exactly what I always wanted and as long as they don’t completely shit the bed somehow I doubt I’ll ever leave. I can’t speak to your hardware concerns, as I went full team red with common hardware for my last few builds because I knew they would have linux on them. The arch wiki is great. The forum exists. They have a plasma version.

The only games I have been unable to play are those that have shitty anti cheat software and the occasional very recent release, but those usually get resolved in a hurry. Genuinely no complaints.

I am dreading the day Gaben leaves Valve.

Don’t be ridiculous, they love their customers. You just ain’t one of them. Their target demo continues to be people don’t want to think about it and have enough money to not care about the difference between $8 and $80. Same as ever. It’s also kinda hard to fault them considering how much fucking money they make.

It’s my understanding that this would be a pretty low bar to clear.

Hard to say for sure yet, but there is no reason to include any absurd anti-cheat and as long as they don’t lose their fucking minds and decide to use some kind of insane drm, I reckon the answer is yes.

To answer the obvious question - I don’t know whether this means it’s not coming to Steam, Epic Games Store or other PC storefronts, but it sounds like it’s a Microsoft-only joint for the minute.

Apparently the dude couldn’t be bothered to check the steam store page:

I’m correct because the door is closed nearly always. The difference in performance with the door open is barely relevant.

So I looked at link and I’m not sure this is making anyone’s point but mine. I don’t dispute that a chest freezer is more efficient, just not massively so. It looks like 15-20% more efficient for a chest vs upright, which is not shocking at all. And a fridge with it’s smaller gap to ambient will get less of a benefit. The air inside just isn’t that hard to cool and door is closed the overwhelming majority of the time.

Iirc, this is mostly a myth. The majority of the thermal mass in a fridge is the stuff in it, and the temperature of the stuff doesn’t move nearly that much from just opening the door briefly.

The reason chest fridges arent that popular is the inconvenience of having a bunch of liquid jugs and fresh food stored in a pile as opposed to on shelves.

Thus forcing everone to wonder why, if they believe some results are fraudelent, they are showing them to us at all.

So the legend of bar keepers friend is that it was invented after someone boiled a bunch of rhubarb greens and noticed it cleaned the pan. I reckon any green high in oxalic acid (the main ingredient in BKF) should do similarly enough to the actual product to let you know if it might work.

This is not even remotely new.

My favorite implication of these kinds of posts is that windows somehow doesn’t ever have driver issues.

Special thanks to Microsoft for going out of their way to help make this possible
