Most desk side support is exactly that.

Not even moderately helpful for printer questions.

I was thinking about the scripts surrounding a video player and episode management.

Over Tor a direct download might be better than torrent. I don’t recall why tor is terrible for torrents, but my experience was lame in that regard.

Tor is more focused on security and privacy, so most scripts will break. Torrents don’t fare well on Tor, and I can’t imagine streaming will either.

It is absolutely Broadcom’s fault, but it’s also still the state of things.

Thanks to Ubuntu, Mint is quite well endowed with functional software. If it can receive the same level of support as Windows or MacOS, it will probably outpace them both.

I have to say that I am getting pretty good at Linux. I use it on my gaming desktop, my 8 year old Lenovo, on a specialized workstation at work, and I have two servers running it. It’s approaching general utility.

That said, I am being defeated by Broadcom wireless drivers on a HP Enterprise laptop. They aren’t just working, and the wireless soft switch isn’t just turning on. Until we can get to the point where the average user can just try a bunch of .deb (or whatever) files until they hit the jackpot, it isn’t going to be as easily adopted.

It’s a great tool for troubleshooting if you have a good one and a bad one.

Thank you, I did have that wrong.

If you can afford it, a SSD will significant improve your life. Also, any more memory will help.

As others said, you can disable swap.

Are you running the xfce version of Mint? It’s significantly less resources.

You will probably only see issues if you are using conversion cables, like from HDMI to DP.

I have seen issues with Tripp Lite not detecting video signal on a DP KVM if the device isn’t selected during boot, but the issue is resolved once you hit Windows.

Not that I look down on the reference, but it was in other states.

This device is totally capable of running Minecraft, assuming it’s an older version.

It contains one of two computers.

The older computer was manufactured around '07, has a dual core processor, and may have up to 2g of ddr2.

The newer version I believe was manufactured around 2012 and has a 4 core processor with up to 8 gigs of ddr3.

Both are capable of running Windows, but I wouldn’t put 10 on the older one.

Yeah, that’s what I meant. I guess problematic means more objectionable, but I mean that it presents a serious difficulty within FOSS culture.

I had heard that his behavior was problematic, but I was unaware of the depth of the issue.

• 1 - …I respect the historical importance of this game.

I had a coworker who swore by this game in the nineties. When I finally got to it, I played most of the way through, but lost the save and haven’t been able to pay through again.

• 4 - First game that actually holds up.

Played through in college over a weekend. Got pretty far in. Loved it.

• 6 - I liked this game up until I found out that I was supposed to be grinding three distinct parties the whole time.

Borrowed from a friend in high school and beat sneaking to play overnight. Fell in love with the series here. My friend from work said this was the weakest of the three, but I appreciated the story.Three distinct parties don’t matter if you constantly rotate them and then use the yellow dinos to power level.

• 7 - I went into this expecting the first 3D installment to be another example of historically important but poorly aged. Was pleasantly surprised by how well it holds up.

High school friends were all into it. I couldn’t play until I could get it to play on Bleem! Currently on my 15th play through.

• 8 - I went into this knowing it’s the weird one. I was the sicko that liked 2, but I still couldn’t get through it.

Friend of mine and I played all the way through on this. The draw system is unusual, but looking back it was a great story. It was weaker without the cyberpunk dystopia of Midgar, and felt like I was now playing as the enemy. I also remember the trigger system infuriatingly.

• 9 - Bought it alongside 8, when I dropped 8 I never got around to this. I will eventually… maybe…

This got so much criticism when it came out. It’s actually a beautiful game that sticks close to the original premise.

• 10 - Perfects the classic formula while still feeling sufficiently modernized. Uh, for some definition of modern…

The grid on this is different, and the game is linear compared to some of the others. In contrast the characters are each so distinct. Also, the voice acting was a huge change.

15 was also automated. My problem with an open world is that it feels like you should scrape the world clean. Also, I was never sure when to move forward and got stuck forever in the first area.

Sounds like the environment they wish to cultivate, just like the Disney Vault.

Edit: not defending, it sounds like their products should move to obscurity, like anime in the 80’s.

Yeah, I was thinking more of having a dedicated border device, and limiting the number of neighbors. You would also have to trust you neighbors to run software that self assembles a network, especially in a crowded area.

Not sure exactly what I would do with it either. It’s not meant for illegal activity, but I can see it being used they way. Properly secured it could be another dark web.

I thought about it needing some kind of border protocol to manage locations and routes. One would need to come up with an address and probably a certificate.

Regarding physical connections, I would say it’s easiest to use wireless. I personally wouldn’t want to advertise that my location is my network, so like the onion network I would like it to route away and double back.

I know this isn’t what is being asked, but has any of us considered a crowd network where independent users mesh? I would say that I would not want the mesh to meet the www due to endpoint abuse, but to have an independent can/man could be pretty rad.

Do you guys not have cars?
