Don’t be silly, they’ll be happy to make a vibe coded remaster for it and charge $80 a piece.

Don’t forget to add Cuba, Greenland, and Canada that Trump has threatened to take over.
- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 2 days ago:
If they don’t release this with a phone that has a headphone jack, they are dumber than a box of rocks. Motorola hardware is flat out not great, but the fact that their G line has a headphone jack and is one of main draws and the only reason I’ve bought them for my kids. If they do release a GrapheneOS compatible phone with a headphone jack, I’ll likely end up buying a few of them for the family and it will be my go to recommendation to others.

surface pro 7 Oof, some of those surface devices have been especially painful to get working (or impossible in some rare cases). I did just see this which is an active project and may end up being helpful if you try again github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface

Absolutely, but this whole Windows 365 thing puts their place in the ecosystem in complete jeopardy. Why would MS need them anymore, they have Azure, the OS, and the AI bullshit. I truly do hope one of the more desperate OEMs takes a chance and tries, though I know it is unlikely.

This used to be exciting stuff about ten years ago when some of us still thought Google was doing cool things.

My work PC is also my gaming PC as well, but I’ve been on Linux full time for about 6 years. You do have some of the clear sticking points that won’t work well. Photoshop is probably the only Adobe app that does work well, because there has been such interest for a long time, but the newest versions specifically fight you. I suspect that newer versions (which professionals are usually using) have been intentionally hobbled by Adobe to prevent their use. Genshin Impact is one of the few cases where there is absolutely no work around right now and I honestly have no idea why.
If your steam catalog is anything like mine (read: huge and been around a long time), I wouldn’t focus so much on the percentages from SteamDB. We both know that we’re not going back and playing most of those games from 15+ years that came in bundles :) I went through my games a while back and found that only about 5% of my catalog I would actually consider playing or re-playing wouldn’t work. It does directly come into play when looking at new games to purchase, but the vast majority these days launch as playable or get there shortly after.
Hopefully one day you can escape.

I must say, I am very curious about your system now. Feel free to send me a message if you want some help.

I hope one OEM finally buckles and starts selling laptops preconfigured to install and run older versions of Office and such in Wine.
- Comment on A product of his environment 4 days ago:
I’ve had 2 and they were both far, far more than just overbearing (yes, I realize that I used that word in my previous comment). My first HOA had a pair of elderly sisters that were both on the board that would walk around the subdivision a few times a week with clipboards just looking for anything that they would come at you with. One time they had the board lawyer send me a threat of putting a lien on my property because I had left a pain can on my driveway for a few hours… while I was literally painting a room.
The only people that HOAs serve are authoritarians and people who only think of their home as an investment whose value is more important than anything else. I just won’t play that game anymore.

I have had some shitty HOAs and I now live in a home with no HOA for a reason. Fuck those overbearing shitheads.
- Comment on Teams’ invasive Wi‑Fi tracking sparks backlash as users say Microsoft crossed a line — “There must be a team at Microsoft tasked with making Teams worse” 4 days ago:
Well, it used to be broken on ALL browsers in Linux, so let’s just go with less broken, which is a high mark for most MS software. MS and following standards are like oil and water.
- Comment on Teams’ invasive Wi‑Fi tracking sparks backlash as users say Microsoft crossed a line — “There must be a team at Microsoft tasked with making Teams worse” 4 days ago:
I had nothing BUT problems with it, but I haven’t tried it in about six months as I started using Teams it in a chromium based browser. I only need to use Teams when working with strictly MS focused companies (i.e. not ours), so it isn’t a daily hassle anyway.
- Comment on Teams’ invasive Wi‑Fi tracking sparks backlash as users say Microsoft crossed a line — “There must be a team at Microsoft tasked with making Teams worse” 4 days ago:
The Linux client never worked in my experience anyway. In no coincidence, their Teams in browser never seemed to work in Linux either until a little after they killed the native app. I wonder if there were enough important clients that needed support for it and they caved and made it work.
- Comment on Teams’ invasive Wi‑Fi tracking sparks backlash as users say Microsoft crossed a line — “There must be a team at Microsoft tasked with making Teams worse” 4 days ago:
Teams in browser is the only way that I use it either, and it isn’t “broken” like it used to be, but you need to use a Chromium based browser. This is typical Microsoft bullshit with only truly supporting “their”, luckily they don’t actually make an actual browser anymore so you can use any of the better Chromium browsers.

- Comment on Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS 6 days ago:
I am with you on not using a laptop, but as I said, the majority of people do so. My experience is quite different. In the last 20 years I tend to have several power outages a year, and I have lived in multiple cities/states. My home is filled with excessive battery backups because of this and are fine unless the outages exceed a few hours, which annoyingly the outages in my new home/area tend to do (the longest was nearly two days :( ).
- Comment on Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS 6 days ago:
And yet, most consumers use laptops with build in batteries. A power outage doesn’t stop them dead most of the time. It will for Windows 365 users. You’re doing an awful lot of sugar coating for someone that claims to be against this product.

Yeah, I know, and honestly that is perfect as long as the speaker isn’t isn’t total crap.
- Comment on It's literally science 1 week ago:
I don’t know exactly what these are based on your descriptions, but I went through physical therapy and was given some stretches/exercises that do for sure help some. It isn’t a “cure”, but as you said, if you have back pain and can do them, you should be trying to.
- Comment on It's literally science 1 week ago:
I could have sworn it was due to the severe injury I sustained, but who am I to argue with science?
- Comment on I saw a turd on my way home from work! 1 week ago:
I have legit thought about just bringing an old school “boombox” style stereo into the car. I got one a couple of years ago for like $60 and aside from the cassette and radio, it can be connected to with aux and bluetooth, so that would be a slightly hilarious way to play music in the car.

I really, really, don’t like Bezo’s involvement in the company, but if it actually comes to market, isn’t a POS, and ends up as the only EV that isn’t spyware on wheels it’ll have my attention for sure.

- Comment on DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media 1 week ago:
While I agree with the general idea, your example prices are no longer valid since storage costs are now through the roof. The best defense of kids using DVDs is that you can borrow them from the library for free.

It’s still “front loaded” with regards to content, but the bugs/issues are more or less handled.
- Comment on "I'm so sorry I hit you... I'm so sorry..." (Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon) 2 weeks ago:
It plays like Oblivion, but the combat is more satisying, the story is much better (subjective), and the map is smaller (though still decent size IMO). It won’t give you the freedom of the older TES games, but then again, neither have the last couple of TES games.
