No, I mean it won’t run at all.

My machine is a laptop with a nvida 960m for a GPU. Game wouldn’t even start.

Elden Ring.

I’ve bought it on sale knowing my PC can’t run it. As soon as I finally update it that’s the first game I’m gonna install.

Yes, you can run Linux in a VM.

But also: you should be able to access your Windows partition from Linux, as it supports NTFS and FAT filesystems, and view the files there.

What I do is I have one partition with Windows, one with Linux, and a third one (with an NTFS file system) for the files I need to access from both.

They’re in on collecting data, like every other company

Are we the same person?

I basically only play with the mouse and bird characters

I mostly play quick games, trying to come up with new combos and strategies

I find myself playing more and more Backpack Hero

I agree the price is pretty high for what it is, but I wonder how much adding a headphone jack would actually affect it.

I bought the Fairphone 5 and yeah, I miss not having the jack and I see no reason to take it out

Windows licenses AFAIK are already rarely bought on their own. The vast majority of users get one by having it bundled to a new device they purchase.

I was thinking about the technical details and didn’t stop to consider the implications, nice answer.

Also unexpected lost in space reference.

USB-A’s legacy lives on

I use earphones to listen to music and take calls hads free quite often.

I recently got a new phone, a Fairphone 5, which doesn’t have a headphone jack, and I’m already missing it.

Listening to music is fine, I just use a USB-C to jack adapter, but I’ve been told people can’t hear me well when I’m doing the same to take a call.

The other day I was in the car with my brother for hours and wanted to put on some music. I couldn’t connect to the car radio via Bluetooth because my brother already was and needed it to take calls and whatnot, so AUX cable here we go. Except apparently my phone does something weird like shutting down the USB port when not in use (reasonable) between songs, creating a noise like when you connect a jack to a powered on speaker, which was super annoying.

So, yes, I use the headphones jack and sorely miss it.

From what I remember the chip itself is pretty small, the size is all due to the cooling component.

Also keep in mind you’ve probably seen a development version of a quantum computer, where things are set up to be easily accessible to allow fixing and tinkering, without regard for size and optimization of space.

I don’t know how much the windows installer lets you choose regarding partitions, but assuming you can and given my probably dated knowledge still applies:

You’ll have to install windows to it’s partition and then force a boot into Linux from the BIOS to reinstall grub, and then you’ll be able to choose your starting system.

I gave them 10, just in case

Didn’t know that, that’s fine then

Because using proprietary standards puts you at the mercy of the technology owner

It’s not what you’re looking for, but I think in this context Jamendo deserves a mention.

I found lots of great songs and artists there that I listen to daily.

I ordered the FP5 after using my OnePlus 3T for nearly 7 years, so I imagine it’ll be OK on that front, given I’m switching only due to issues with the USB port and power button.

YMMV but for regular users it should be fine.
