"Let's play a game". War Games - 1983 film starring Matthew Broderick. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086567/ WarGames is great! Funny story about that movie. A couple years back while I was watching it with my girlfriend, she had never seen it before, an interesting thing happened. My gir...

Apparently Microsoft's copilot is wrong. Recent study shows that AI chatbots are not likely to do much better than humans at running the world. AI Launches Nukes In ‘Worrying’ War Simulation: ‘I Just Want to Have Peace in the World’ https://www.vice.com/en/article/g5ynmm/ai-launches-nukes-in-worryin...

Nvidia will exit the consumer add in card after-market. Good probability here. I suspect Nvidia tried to acquire ARM because they realize that the future of graphics processors will be integrated graphics. This puts AMD and Intel in a better position than Nvidia seeing as how Nvidia doesn't have a ...

yah, I remember that time I put down a knee, clipped the apex to soon so was sure to drift over the center line into that oncoming truck, and bam - Bluescreen -segfault at 555w6t6f60420...Barely got it rebooted in time. That's when I knew I should be running Debian. :lol: Sorry, don't have any moto...

And it's not only motorcycles discussed here; many posts are about bicycles.

That's absurd. Who would talk about bicycles on a thread about analysts riding motorcycles running windows?

P.S. Problem quoting posts was due to using Brave browser.

Here's another great technology read from a few years back. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/implication-of-sabotage-adds-intrigue-to-spacex-investigation/2016/09/30/5bb60514-874c-11e6-a3ef-f35afb41797f_story.html "The long-running feud between Elon Musk’s space company and its f...

Not to go about beating a dead horse here, but I just have to say that I find this being Nvidia particularly confusing. I think it was maybe a month or two ago when I caught an article on Tom's Hardware summarizing and interview with Jensen Huang in which Mr. Huang admitted that if he could go back ...

There isn't really any psychoanalyzing going on though, just people listing the motorcycles they've owned. Maybe the topic should be "Motorcycles."

I never really understood the need to compete in such underhanded ways. I mean, as an individual, once you've got enough money to live the rest of your life and never work again, why bother? The original idea behind competitive markets was that competition between "firms" would lead to bet...

CwF I guess I'd just have to respectfully disagree. My girlfriend has had her Schwinn for around a decade and the two of us have ridden our bikes in some pretty harsh conditions. I can honestly say neither of us have ever had a problem with our bike frames. Although we don't ride our bikes off ramp...

arzgi If you like strategy games I've got a sci-fi themed one called Carpe Diem that I whipped up in Godot engine. My girlfriend plays it for hours on end. I submitted to have it listed on GamingOnLinux's free games database twice, but it was never published there. I wrote them an email about it, b...

I think most bicycle frames are aluminum, unless you're willing to pay thousands for a steel framed touring bike or even more for a carbon fiber frame. Not sure what the durability of carbon fiber is like, but when it breaks the whole thing tends to unravel. You could buy three or four aluminum fram...

Custom Fuji Crosstown myself. You know, they say you need to buy a steel frame touring bike for long distance rides, but I find this is not at all the case. They advertise the steel frame of touring bikes as being necessary to hold the extra weight that bikepackers carry, but we carry significantly ...

I consider it to be more of a toy. Like Gameboys and space telescopes.

@cogitech How does amd_pstate=passive compare to amd_pstate=active paired with the powersave governor?

Functionally it's great. If their claims about privacy and anti-tracking protection are true then it's a good browser for their target audience, but who am I to say if it works as advertised or not? Probably the developers don't even know for sure how "secure" their browser is. On Android ...

Latest version of LXQT (during image placement it is a version 1.3.0) running on top of Debian 12 " Bookworm". Back when I first tried LXQt it just wasn't mature enough so I went with XFCE at the time. I thought about giving it a shot again when I installed Debian, but I learned that LXQt...

Thanks for the tip. I read about the testing branch in the docs and decided to go ahead and just stick with stable. Everything works great and I don't have to mess with defaults and pinning to get timely security updates so I think I'm going to go with the tried and true "ain't broke don't fix ...

What is an acestream?

I met someone who was into that new age spiritualism type of thing several years ago. My girlfriend and I spent a few weeks with one of my grilfriend's aunts. My girlfriend's aunt invited us to a thanksgiving dinner she was attending at a friend's house; thanksgiving, if you're not familiar, is an o...
