Good to know. I definitely had some minor auditory hallucinations or spasms come and go depending on how badly I managed my sleep schedule and I never really thought about that. I think the tinnitus is mostly actual physical damages because I wanted to rawdog some metal concerts when I was younger though.

This checks out. I think the most recent “original” movie I watched was The Color Out of Space. Not in theater though.

Well, fuck. Is the neutral damage reversible ?

You’re missing out. Ryzens are awesome

Will they though ? Me and all my nerd friends straight up ignored windows 8, I’m sure we weren’t alone. I also saw the writing on the wall with windows 11 and went with Linux for my new gaming PC

It should specify its max wattage somewhere. But since it’s 3900 joules which is quite a lot for a surge protector iirc, I assume it’s decent quality, so should handle at least ~1800W which should be more than enough for the stuff you plugged into it

So it was a 10% discount ? /s

Yeah some softwares are also just bad at handling this stuff on startup I guess. Visual studio fucks up the code window’s scaling all the time for me. UE4 used to literally never open a window with the correct scaling on my second (smaller) monitor window too but it got a lot better with UE5

That 2nd monitor window thing sounds like a DPI scaling issue, especially if your main screen has different scaling than the one causing issues. I get this a lot at work because of my setup and the software I use (on windows btw) and I got so used to manually moving the window and smashing it against the top of the screen to maximize it that I don’t really mind. But maybe the term can help you troubleshoot it further

Works pretty well on pop!_os (with X) barring some oddities that I’m not even sure are specific to Nvidia cards (like the compositor losing its shit when I try to pop out a video from my browser and put it over a game’s window)

Maybe my taste buds aren’t refined but I can’t tell the difference

There is practically no difference unless you fully defreeze it in a microwave which will usually make it feel soggy. However you can get it mostly defrosted in the microwave, and finish the job in an oven, and it will basically feel like fresh bread

Also, a lot of kids don’t have the slightest idea of what the “save” icon in their apps represents. They just know it’s the save icon because it’s everywhere

Do you really think that either of them are going to pay any significant amount to be the default?

I can see Bing doing it. And Google is so far gone that it would probably be an improvement

Hahaha sorry about that, the .uk domain threw me off. For what it’s worth I like the Scottish accent more than the British one 😅

(I’m generally not a fan of Cloudflare, because its man-in-the-middle position between users and services has grown to an unhealthy scale, making it ripe for dragnet surveillance and other abuses. But it would be even worse if it was actively helping these greedy, predatory corporations dodge the law.)

You cannot convince me that it’s not literally a NSA front at this point.

Incroyable ! Je ne m’attendais certainement pas à ce qu’un anglais soit installé là-bas, parce que si je me souviens bien, économiquement c’est une des pires régions du pays. Mais la nature y est magnifique.

French person advice : idk how widespread they are internationally, but Nogent*** (also called “Nogent trois étoiles”) has a good one for half the price. My dad has been using one since before I was born, and the guy literally can’t live without bread.

Seasoning my oven like the cast iron diehards season their skillets

I guess they are not joking when they say that the human body can be surprisingly resilient

I saw a city maintenance guy with an electric leaf blower for the first time ever the other day. It was a beautiful sunny day too so I felt like I was looking at one of these utopic cities animations for a second
