This sounds like it could’ve been a story about a featured build on CPU magazine. Maybe some cube shaped open air PC and how it was going to change the future of case design?

As far as things that are going to change everything performance wise maybe 3D caches? I could see there being promotional art of that with a blue cube showing how memory layers are stacked.

Yeah in Calgary I don’t think I’ve seen a single person at a signing table. They have a bunch of flags and crap out too really trying to entice people but it’s always empty. I also feel like they’ve been out for weeks if not months at this point?

Maybe some of the more rural areas had more people signing

I know this was the goal of Nano (XNO) originally. I still love the idea of it but with all the regulations and stuff now I think nano is kinda dead (or at least unpopular) It seems the only crypto used for transactions is Monaro.

I remember years ago hearing about a Minecraft server using it as “premium” currency which I thought was interesting. I think the idea was you could earn real money on their game server.

It’s so cheap now you could probably use it as currency for a game if you really wanted

Edit: not gonna lie I think Nano is a pretty cool name for a decentralized currency. Better than some of the weird coin names out there

My favorite part of the steam deck is how I didn’t have to pay to “upgrade” the games I already own.

Oh and how I didn’t have to buy my game library again

Any specific reason you want to run a Lemmy instance? Or just trying something new?

This made me realize that the Bazzite updater is way less invasive than Windows updates. I know Windows updates are a low bar but it would grind my system to a halt at the worst time.

After a year and a half of Bazzite I haven’t noticed it downloading automatic updates

If you could miniaturize them I would totally take a house hippo

That was a really good review! I think the only thing I disagree with is the people I know who are looking to escape Windows 11 aren’t the same people distro hopping. While I agree that it’s awesome Linux has so much variety; if a new user doesn’t get a good first experience with Linux they kinda just write Linux off and go back to Windows 10.

The first distro experience needs to be smooth and they need to use it for awhile before they will consider hopping to a different Linux distro instead of just going back to Windows

Bazzite is incredible if you want a Linux distro for gaming that “just works”. Sure other distros can work just as well but they seem to require a bit more tweaking

Would having a synced Keepass database with a composite key protect against this?

When I made my database I created a composite key file that never goes online. I locally copy it to any device that needs to access the database. The idea was even if the password got compromised you can’t access the database without the key file

I’ve never had a guitar with a maple fretboard. Someone else might be able to give you more information.

From a quick look online it looks like care for light wood fretboards is a bit different than dark wood fretboards like rosewood

I usually use Lemon Oil on the fretboard (don’t use it on maple). And just a Guitar Polish/Oil for the rest of it. I think this was the kit I bought

I originally did this and ended up having to remake my account on .world. I just couldn’t stand the negativity and constant fighting on .ml. I was able to find a non-ml alternative to every community I was subscribed to. YMMV but it was completely worth it for me

So they basically created a hashing function?

I really want to switch but I need a launcher that lets me swipe on the dock left and right like how I can with home screen pages

I recently got into records but I wouldn’t consider myself an audiophile. I have a AT-SB727 “Sound Burger” and I usually connect it to a SoundCore Mini. The whole setup was under $200 on sale.

The main advantage for me is that it’s somewhat portable. I have 0 wires to mess with, not even a power cord. I’m sure the audio quality isn’t great but I like watching the record spin and listening to albums from start to finish.

I do have a different old record player (Sansui P1000) but it needs to be connected to AC then that has RCA connectors that need to go to a stereo which then has copper wire speakers. It sounds a lot better but also it’s a lot less portable

The sound burger does come with a line level RCA output so maybe it does sound as good when connected to an actual stereo. I want to get an elliptical stylus upgrade in the future which is supposed to help with sound quality

This reminds me of the old cloud to butt extension

So instead of selling on both Sparkfun and Adafruit, having what seems like a monopoly on Teensy style boards, Sparkfun decided it would be smarter to stop selling to Adafruit and force their hand to make an open source competitor

That’s an interesting business decision…

How’s Notepad++ compare to VS Code (or VSCodium) they seem pretty similar
