I need to try that. Thanks for the tip!

Mine have a setting to disable the light outside of initial startup so thankfully I’m safe here.
LEDs on electronics need either a maximum brightness or an adjustable brightness. I have taken to covering the LEDs on charger bricks with Sharpie/tape (often multiple layers of tape) to dampen the brightness because I cannot function with these damn things at night.
Now if we could just teach this to the general population. The number of times that I’ve gotten yelled at to “get off the road and use the sidewalk” has me prepared to make a wearable “share the road” sign.
Feel that. I distinctly remember forgetting how to spell “of” and wanting to write “uv”.
Yup, Plasma 6 has been pretty great. Had to fix a couple of issues with Nvidia but it’s been incredibly smooth.
I swear, I can’t tell the difference between AI answers and the shit people make up with inspect element for the memes anymore.
Yeah, I got mine for 98 cents a can. Highest price I’ve seen is like two bucks.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this out! I’ll see about getting some gun oil and a small enough sharpener (the only one I own apparently doesn’t accommodate tiny pocket knives), and I may post an update on how it looks. I’m glad to see this little guy can be restored to working condition since a handy knife like this deserves a purpose, but I am a little sad that the scales might not have much longer (relatively speaking).
I got some more pictures so hopefully this lighting works a little better. Washed in soapy water as requested and dried. I’m quite sure I’ve already messed some things up on it unfortunately but hopefully I can save it just a bit for at least usability. The handle material was already flaking when we found it and the inside is definitely pretty dirty/rusty still.
P.S. thanks for your help on this. Your response is really detailed and helpful.
Honestly, I’d like to see this version. This might explain better why the machines using humans for their own benefit is such a bad thing since, presumably, using humans as CPUs would take up brain power that we could use to build a better society or something.
I celebrate Christmas (not as festive as some people but still) but I generally am apathetic to Christmas music at best. That being said, Carol of the Bells by Transiberian Orchestra still kicks ass and I would say it is the one Christmas song that I would actively and willingly listen to.
I had a slightly screwed up Fedora install due to being a noob with an NVIDIA 1060 and little clue on their drivers. I hooked my laptop up to an old TV (720p if that tells you how old it is lol) and… my entire desktop got absolutely screwed up. Everything was stuck in 4:3 resolution for some reason and my icons got bloated (for lack of a better term). I tried to fix it but IIRC, it just got worse and I had to reinstall.
I’m not sure which programs you’re using so hopefully something here can help but here’s some stuff I’ve read/done:
If you have any specific programs that you have questions about, feel free to ask. Hope this helps!
Found my hobby
I’ve been using Mint for a few months now after initially trying Fedora and Kubuntu. Mint has been by far my favorite experience and I’ve even gotten a few people converted to Linux via Mint. Definitely my recommendation for any Linux newbies.
Ambivert maybe?
It makes a copy of your entire system automatically (and your home folder if you want it to) so, in the event that you break something and can’t/don’t want to fix it, you can go back to your most recent back-up from before you messed your system up. I’ve had to use it a few times because I installed some drivers for my drawing tablet that broke more than they fixed and I didn’t want to deal with the pain in the ass of removing them and all of the dependencies they installed.
As someone who switched to Linux primarily because of Windows 11’s never ending BS (bugs, resource mismanagement, etc) and the inevitably end of Windows 10, I can confirm that Windows 10 will be my last.
I know you probably mean one of those serving-sized cereal boxes, but the mental image of you pulling out a family-sized box of cereal from some portal-to-Narnia pocket in your pants is fucking hilarious to me.
