Mandatory Fuck Spez comment

I am more shocked by the fact that that motherfucker reads books at all.

I’ve been linux-curious on-and-off for years. I’ve toyed with it several times but always gone back to Windows eventually. I have a laptop with a 7th gen Intel CPU that is not supported on Windows 11, so I decided to wipe it and threw the latest version of Linux Mint on it. Everything (except for a fingerprint reader) worked straight out of the figurative box, and I’ve been happily running it on that machine for about 6 months now. I think Mint is a good choice if you want a simple windows-like experience.

I still have a desktop PC running Windows for games and Adobe Lightroom and stuff, but I won’t be going back to Windows on that laptop.

Well then, this might just be a good way to filter out dipshits.

Also, insane people calling in on the phone.

iPhone is dominant in the US, but I can’t believe people give enough of a shit about which smartphone someone uses for it to be a dealbreaker in finding a significant other.

Same shit happened when the Steam Deck released in 2022 as well. A bunch of them disappeared into FedEx. Fortunately, Valve promptly took care of anyone who was affected.

Several Kotaku writers quit and launched their own operation recently, named Aftermath.

Same. Battery life gone to shit on my SE since WatchOS 10 too.

Shitter

The ads I see on my kindle lock screen all seem to be for garbage AI-generated books.

you can set separate resolutions for your laptop’s built-in screen and your external display, unless you’re just mirroring the display to both.

just never connect your smart tv to the internet

Amazon added epub support to Kindles a while back, and deprecated mobi. It still has some issues with epub formatting though, I’ve had to tweak some files using a Calibre plugin to make them render properly on the kindle.

So, have they actually gone out of business?

It’s the more common term in British English.
