Never say never. There are actually several areas where I’ve seen fiber build out from government grants.

That said, they are EXCEPTIONALLY rare and typically scumbag ISPs pocket the money with no consequences, since nobody who writes these laws sets up consequences for failing to deliver.

This. You have to install the Windows version with Proton, sadly. They stopped support for the native Linux build.

This.

That said, it’s rare that only one or two outlets in a garage are tied to a breaker. Usually they’re all on one circuit in older homes, in my experience.

If you can find a circuit like this, though, it’s perfectly valid. Many chargers made for 110V also have a 230V/15 or 20 amp mode. My Mother-in-law’s portable charger has a 230V NEMA 2-20 adapter that comes in the bag with it.

Poor Seang Chau. They wrote this blog post in a total of three paragraphs, but Google was still like “WOULD YOU LIKE AN AI SUMMARY?” at the top.

Literally took me about 45 seconds to read all of the features, but Google is over here burning down another rainforest to process an AI summary of a three paragraph blog post with three pictures.

Chances are you’ve had the same public IP for a long time. Mine hasn’t changed in 2 years.

Your “IP address” is already public. That’s why an IPv4 address is assigned to you as a “public IP address” and you NAT to a private space. When using IPv6, everything is public.

The key is to secure everything with access restrictions.

Cool… I’ll stick with my wires that work every time and don’t have latency, batteries, and connection problems thanks.

Nah I saw it on FF as well. Forcing an update on the “Quick Fixes” blocklist on uBlock Origin got rid of it.

Germany has done this multiple times before. Microsoft has historically swept in with some sweetheart deal to lure them back.

Hopefully it sticks this time.

Debian or Linux Mint, if you want a no-nonsense, just works kind of experience.

A language I wish would die already, but there are still vendors that program in it, along with freaking Tomcat hosted applications. EduTech is still stuffed to the gills with it.

And failing, apparently

Sonic Origins used the same engine and basically was like “people seem to like classic Sonic games. Let’s make Sonic Mania themed in Genesis era games”.

And yet…they STILL fucked it up. Not as badly as they usually do, mind you, but still.

Probably for docked Decks attached to a 4K TV/Display.

There is no “objective” when talking about subjective terms.

My personal, SUBJECTIVE favorites are Mass Effect, Titanfall 2, Subnautica, Stardew Valley, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dave the Diver, Balatro, and Portal 1 and 2

Flatpak is a fully open source technology. You’re thinking of Snaps.

Why?

It’s always interesting seeing the different experiences people have. I have way less problems on Linux with games than I do on Windows. Mostly because every time I would boot into Windows, I’d have to spend 15-20 minutes on a good day installing patches for games and Windows Updates.

I made the jump two years ago. I started with a 512GB SATA SSD with Windows and then my main drive on Linux.

There aren’t any games I play regularly that don’t “just work” on Linux, but I also get that can depend on the person. I hope you can get there one day.

Until then…maybe dual boot?

There are rumors they plan to do this with the first Xbox handheld.
