Switorik,

I have a hard time believing any news on this site. Biden could be trying to get more but who knows what his opposition is doing. Are the Republicans stopping him or is he just spewing lies?

We really need more information for a post like this.

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

Switorik,

I updated my graphics card. Twice. On two different systems. Nvidia sucks. Both times resulted in reinstalling Linux entirely.

Switorik, (edited )

Linux is great until you want to update your graphics card or play games. Sure it has gotten much better, but you can’t deny it’s a massive hassle for the majority of new users.

I didn’t realize how hostile the Linux community is. I have an Nvidia card and I’ve never had a pleasant experience trying to make it work.

Switorik,

Because it’s still an issue.

Switorik,

Unfortunately, I have multiple Nvidia cards. That’s the issue. My Linux machines don’t use Windows, at all.

Switorik,

Which doesn’t work, thanks. I wish it did.

Switorik,

Unfortunately I use Nvidia. Now I know Nvidia isn’t good for Linux but wasn’t when I planned on using it.

Switorik,

Diablo 4 was a success?

Switorik,

The game lacked everything. I got it for free using points and was immediately bored and disgusted with its mtx. The story was not good, graphics were eh, and the gameplay was nothing new.

I’m really disappointed with blizzard lately.

Switorik,

This. Holy shit is it frustrating to click a pixel wide scroll bar that is on the edge between two monitors. It’s even worse when they disappear.

Switorik,

Do you know why steam is dominating? There are no better alternatives. They actively work on projects that benefit everyone, including their competition.

For the time being, there’s nothing to be said other than other companies need to stop being so shitty.

Switorik,

I ate at McDonald’s for the first time in a few years. The same meal I used to get on the go now costs over 100% more since before 2020. The only reason I went to McDonald’s was because it was cheap, not because it was good. I don’t think I’ll ever go again.

Fished new wire for the first time!

I posted on here the other day about some suspicious 240v cable and followed the recommendations to replace it. I was already leaning that way but was kind of hoping to be told I was overthinking it. But you all confirmed what I thought. I ran close to 25’ of 10/2 cable from the second story to the basement. Nothing is wired...

Switorik,

I’m an electrician. It is too late but for future reference all new work must be done up to code. An electric dryer requires 10/3 on a 30A breaker that is listed for the panel.

While this is not code compliant, 10/2 will still work but requires you to install the jumper from the neutral to the ground inside the dryer itself.

Switorik,

I use mine all the time. I use it to play games and watch TV/movies through my computer. I plan on using it for my kids account because games are so much cheaper on PC and have support forever.

I can plug any of my controllers in or m&k and have zero issues doing whatever I want.

It’s a shame it died so quickly.
