You might consider the Mackie Crx Cubes. They use bmr drivers that allow a wider Soundstage without needing as much physical space and can be had at a pretty reasonable price. Bass is lacking though, so allocate funding for a small woofer if you want the absolute best experience.
Unless you’re just opening up all the ports on your router, it should be blocking all incoming connections by default. I’d recommend doing 1:1 port mapping for the specific internal ips of your services if your router provides that capability, but at minimum just locking it down to only opening the ports required for your services should suffice.
From my time working at a law firm I can confidently say most mentally healthy people would be surprised at the amount of people that 1. Never grew up 2. Have no problem hurting someone they claim to love 3. Have no problem posting evidence of that onto public social media.
I’d have never bought a computer with one of these keys anyway. They dictate enough about my device, the keyboard is where I’m drawing the hard line.
The directors really did squander the whole franchise with how they handled it. People were naming their kids after characters, “Winter is coming” became commonplace and merch was everywhere. Then seemingly overnight after those last two seasons it’s all gone. I feel if they’d bothered to give it any time and care it’d have had the same staying power in our culture as Harry potter, lord of the rings, and star wars.
You and I know very different gamers. I can’t even talk people into going pc instead of console/mobile phone. (Which is 90% of the gaming market).
That’s not accurate. It’s far easier to purchase the game currently than it is to pirate it. You get things like automatic updates, server support, verified software, library management, etc with almost every single point of sale where as with piracy you get none of those and likely a little bit of malware as a treat. If you moved games to a completely open source model, you’d see this paradigm shift dramatically with gray markets spinning up seemingly overnight offering similar features.
Capitalism has scribbled right over the “social good” bits of that. We can pretty much single handedly thank Disney and lobbying.
I think it could be viable for a company to release a game with a “5 year FOSS promise” or something similar, but you have to realize that the gaming community would never adequately financially support most development endeavors if the choice was as easy as downloading it from place A vs place B.
This is gorgeous. Well done.
I self discovered this years ago. Smoking regularly stopped night terrors I experienced since I was a kid, unfortunate side effect is I don’t (seem to) dream at all, but it seems a small price to pay for not waking up drenched in sweat screaming and scrambling for the nearest escape.
So wholesome. Now you’ve gone and got me all emotional, SatansMaggotyCumFart
This comment right here officer. (Fwiw, I up voted)
Careful doing just this. They actually track http request headers and look for desktop signifiers, so your best bet is to use a VPN in tandem with whatever setup you go with. (Tried doing this a few years back without the vpn, they sent me some very upset texts.)
I honestly have no idea. I assume it’s some issue with background processing or something at an engine level. Nothing Chromium or webkit based seems to suffer the same issues, but perhaps it’s just an issue with my Firefox account or an extension that doesn’t behave properly with the browser. 😓
Yeah, I tend to use a mix. Safari for the Apple devices since it gets first class citizenship seemingly, then Firefox on anything stationary, and then Chromium on mobile.
I’ll give that a shot! Thanks.
Firefox has absolutely destroyed the battery of most mobile devices I’ve tried it with. Any ideas on fixes to get it at least to parity with chrome? In-use power metrics seem fine, but if I let it sit Chrome will allow the system to go into low power/sleep while firefox tends to just keep things running somehow? (Not sure why there’s down votes here… I use Firefox by default whenever I’m on desktop and this is a real issue I experience on my mobile systems (M1 pro mac, Intel/Windows laptop, M1 iPad pro, and amd/Linux (steamdeck)). I’m also genuinely interested in solution recommendations… Like I get you love Mozilla and firefox, I do too, but I can’t substitute one for the other when it causes a significant shift in my device use paradigm.) (For the continued down votes, 1. You’re the reason people don’t want to use software you like 2. I’ve tested this on my machines and it’s very real, only occurring when firefox is running and not related to system settings).
Sounds like a history of poor management. Wonder if that was a contributing factor behind the scenes.
Any poor quality connector can affect a sector scan and drive performance. Doesn’t matter if it’s connected to a corroded usb port or a bent internal sata, at the end of the day if you’re getting disk errors it’s best to measure using two methodologies/data pathways.
