Ah, I have the aspire a315-56. Mint was pretty painless for me after the RST issue. I didn’t have to worry about wifi/bluetooth/touchpad drivers at all. Right out of the box its been smooth (for linux) for me.

If you’re a fan of Starship Troopers, both the movie and game, then I would highly recommend this game. There is great replay-ability of the game.

- Comment on Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought 3 months ago:
Yeah I bet if they re-released it with better hardware, no one would bat an eye compared to the initial release. Hell I would go as far as to say people would buy it just to have Bard AI integrated into it. Because people are people and people buy things.

So will this be a HTPC king? Kind of skimped on the temps in the article. I assume HWU goes over it and will watch it soon.

- Comment on Researchers confirm what we already knew: Google results really are getting worse 3 months ago:
I’m finding that LLMs are doing a better job for searching for new things. If I have a question, instead of going to google or bing I’ll goto chatGPT and ask some of that nature with some sources for further reading.
Never would I think that I would need to use AI to answer simple search and yet here we are because the sole purpose of a search engine doesn’t really exist anymore.

- Comment on Lower Decks: Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? 5 months ago:
I’m not sure it is the age or getting old, or just the type of brain. I’ve always was more attentive to people who spoke faster from keeping my mind wandering during the conversation. I was always told to slow down my speech throughout school.
- Comment on Lower Decks: Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? 5 months ago:
For me its the quickness of the dialogue. And since it is animation they are notnheld back by grand scale budgets for every little detail of a new planet or giant space ship battles. Again this is my take. And it took me a minute to appreciate LD.
