Early walkmans were quite unwieldy

Nobody but burglars can limit my access to my music collection.

Or anything that forces you to leave home

To give another perspective, I had a main board go out on my Neptune 3 right after a year of owning it, and they sent me a new one for free 🤷🏽‍♂️ the resin printer I have from them has seen much less use but has been rock solid every time I’ve used it.

That last part pronounced like bologna?

Pack it up fellas

I’m sorry but this is bullshit.

When did anyone say the EU created USB-C? They passed legislature that required the mass adoption of it and are the reason Apple had to switch from that stupid lightning connector (and other companies can’t try to make their own), but I don’t see anyone claiming the EU created it.

I know why we have the EU to thank .

If Apple and the Americans had their way, each of those would use a different proprietary connector.

Americans don’t want proprietary connectors. We’re happy to get USB-C, too.

Yes, Americans famously love having dozens of different chargers and cables to manage

It started growing mushrooms.

Like Mr Garrison being mad that his dad didn’t love him enough to molest him.

I’m weird with this. Usually when I get a new phone, laptop or whatever, I like to use it exactly as is for at least a day or so. I like knowing what the “default” user experience is without me having to change or “fix” things first. Like playing a game without mods for a playthrough before adding big tiddie dragons.

I’m not a lawyer and didn’t look anything up beforehand so I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure the only thing that is “protected” legally is the master recording of the song. Which is why things like covers and parodies are legally ok, even though they’re more or less direct copies of the song made by a different artist. But if you use the actual recording of a song (even if edited beyond recognition) it needs to be cleared by whoever owns the rights to the song.

The game I’ve been playing lately is the Oblivion remaster. I know the game is known to have subpar performance, but in Windows with ultra settings and RT set to low I get 130+ FPS outdoors and 180+ indoors, in kubuntu I was getting ~60-80 outdoors and ~100 indoors, CachyOS got me 80 indoors and 50 outdoors with extreme stuttering.

All running on my 3440x1440 144hz monitor.

I just installed Bazzite, we’ll see how that plays.

I just installed CachyOS based off this recommendation, and performance is absolutely terrible right after installing. Do I need to install any drivers or change settings? Everything I see says that the drivers are baked into the kernel. But I am getting <50FPS with extreme stutters running the same settings I had on all the other OS’es I listed.

Well, what happened? Glad you’re ok.

I’m running an AMD GPU (9070XT) specifically because I knew it was meant to work nicer with Linux than my 1080 did.

I might give some other distros a try when I’ve got the time. It’s a shame, I really liked kubuntu. (I know I can configure most distros to do the things I liked about kubuntu but I’m not the most knowledgeable when it comes to that kind of thing.)

I really want to and was mostly Windows free for most of 2025 but I can’t get my new graphics card to perform well in either kubuntu or mint. Games that will run on ultra at over 100fps in Windows will get 60-80fps on medium-high settings on kubuntu. A tear runs down my cheek every time I see people say they got performance increases from switching. Even my old hardware performed slightly worse.

I advised him the usb cable will never fit in the ethernet port

Shows how much you know, they usually fit just fine, albeit not connected to anything
