  This is the nicest way someone’s put it. I’ve tried to switch to Linux three or four times but until there is a distro that makes it plug and play like Windows or mac its going to be a tough sell. I consider myself tech savvy enough (I can google things, and for goodness sake at the bare minimum I can cut and paste into the terminal) but the barrier for getting Linux to work is too high right now for a very large part of the population.

  I have W10 computer running the arrs and my plex server that I’m going to have to figure out as I can’t get W11 on it.

  I want to do it so bad!.. but I think I’ll probably just end up getting a new, used computer that can run W11

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the craziest thing to me…

  I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I put my boots or shoes on at the door before I go out, and I take them off when I get home. If I get cold feet, I may put on slippers.

  Inside the house, I’m bare foot or in socks. If I take the trash out and it’s nice, I go out barefoot. If it’s snowy or frigid cold (I’ll leave the Winnipeg weather up to you for a fun google) I put on my boots.

  I don’t know anyone who wears shoes indoors unless they are elderly and need the support. It’s a sign of middle age / senior age living here.

  I think OP meant to say

  “his ace in the hole” but either speech to text or fat thumbs got in the way

  Sincerely,

  Lego Harry Potter on Switch is what my wife and I did and she liked it. She is not a gamer.

  Weirdly enough she also liked Mario Golf on switch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube just made it harder to avoid ads with a tiny skip button⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My place of work requires Microsoft Edge or Google chrome. I’m having trouble with the ad blockers not working. Is there some combination that I should be using that would circumvent this? Or is the only option firefox? Obviously, everything I own at home and personal devices are Firefox :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung is planning a 400-500$ foldable for 2024⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I went s7e - n10+ - s23

  The s23 is a nice balance. I don’t have giant hands. I found the note 10+ to be too big. I dropped it all the time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the most modern you could emulate on an android phone (s23)?

  And is retroarch the best bet?

  I’ve been entertaining the idea of buying a cheap laptop to play with Linux after yesterday’s posts and the idea of being able to emulate some more modern stuff and maybe install steam is appealing.

  Most public libraries have OverDrive. While not torrented, you can get lots of ebooks for free! (if there’s a way to “keep” them from overdrive I’m not aware of it)

  Have a Note 10+

  Screen needs replacing : $450 + tax (cdn) Only one more year of security updates

  Bought a “renewed” s23 for $700. I didn’t want to but it didn’t make sense to sink so much into the old phone even though it worked fine. It pained me to give up the SD card slot…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What hobbies did you pick up during the pandemic and have you been able to keep them up?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Used to read a little bit (~3-8 books a year). Now I read a lot (30+ books a year). Love escaping into a fantasy world

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young Koreans favor iPhones over Samsung Galaxy: survey⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had Samsung for around nine years. The thing that kept me married to them was the SD card slot. Now that it’s gone, after my Note 10+ stops getting updates, I’ll be looking at something else. I have the Samsung watch, buds and tablet but I’m assuming they’ll work with a pixle if that’s what I land on. I like the Samsung nearby share but that’s such a small thing and doesn’t keep brand loyalty. Otherwise, what do they offer that say the pixle doesn’t?
