Setup was easy, it just works, its stable, and if you want the regular updates, just get the lifetime model on sale. I bought it becaue I didn’t want to spend time screwing with setup and just wanted to get my data moved snd running.

I have not kept up with their raw disk lineup to be honest, they may be garbo but I am not sure. I have been using toshiba and seagate drives for the last 8 years which have been great.

The WD devices also offer very limited long term support. The MyBook Live had a software exploit found a couple years after launch that allowed remote access to your files and enabled third parties to wipe your drives. Wd said “wow, that sucks, here is a $15 coupon for a new one. No, we aren’t gonna patch it. Buy a new one” I will never buy another wd device except for the raw discs.

What button mod are you using?

Unrelated but did you know that Libraries oftentimes have cd’s, dvd’s, and even audiobooks available to borrow?

Don’t worry, the (actual) children will be back to work there soon. Hyundai/Kias subsidiary companies/suppliers have a history of using child labor in the US.

Since I am getting downvoted for some reason, here is a source. Their Alabama plants got dinged a couple of times. Department of Labor

Not op but Bazzite is excellent.

I hope they do, but even if they do, that is still only a net zero gain and California has to put theirs to a public vote. Texas will get sued for the redistricting being blatantly along racial lines but it will have to play out in the courts which is a crapshoot at this point. Its still a net loss in the end imo. They should have kept the quorum break up imo. Yes, I know they were being penalized but there was enough external support infrastructure to get them through that.

I am using syncthing to directionally sync my music from my server to my phone. I like having the local copy on both devices so I don’t worry about losing cell service/internet.

Once I got it up and running, it has been like you described, way better than windows.

No, the generic usb driver wouldn’t work for me. I only was able to get it to print a test page weirdly.

Brother. Weirdly, the scanner setup was completely painless and even easier than in wondows.

As a recent linux convert I found printer drivers and setups to be a pain and getting java runtime working was a process but everything else was about a days worth and it just works. Hell, even hitting the windows key on the keyboard and typing the ms name for stuff pops up the relevant linux program. If you didn’t know you were looking at something different, it wouldn’t be obvious for the most part.

The sierra nevada trail pass was quite good. Even the Guinness zero is pretty damn close to actual Guinness. There is also a mexican style lager that I had the other day that I quite enjoyed.

The only game I have not been able to get work has been pubg. Everything else has been great and run fine once proton was up and running. I am using bazzite 41 as my current distro.

A narcissistic one, with money, and no real understanding of the equipment. They are much more common than you would think in the c suite.

Between lone star tick disease and deer prions I am not really all that interested in being in the woods proper anymore.

Chupathingys are real

Ticks.

Did I stutter?
