Fallout Nee Vegas has crash on startup issues day one on PC. Lots of folks couldn’t play it and I believe an unofficial patch came faster than an official.

Is youtube cracking down on gun channels or something? Wouldnt shock me.

Looks like their attempt at a video streaming app, separate from youtube.

The icon is also “different”. One has the Microsoft teams logo in white on a purple background, the other has the Microsoft teams logo in purple on a white background (forgot which and which)

They do the same thing with PowerBI. THe cloud version is one icon, the PowerBI for Reports Server (aka locally hosted) is for the on-prem version. Pretty annoying.

I work with Teams (Business version) daily. Have never even seen the other one.

That’s fair. It seems like pop_os is trying to be a DE, the rest of the parts (kernel, drivers, packaging system of choice etc) are just a means to that end.

I wouldn’t consider pop for its kernel selection and immediately want to install AwesomeWM or something. For that I would just go straight Debian.

I know this thread is a tad old but I’ve been considering a framework for the family laptop for a while. Problem is stocking and this recent 16 model run also had 13 orders run too. I won’t pay for a unit months in advance. It ruins certain protections from the merchant (like failure to deliver).

Instead I got a thinkpad t480 for like 400 bucks. It will do fine as a laptop mostly used for chrome, paying bills or zoom calls etc.

There are third parties (mostly people with 3d printers) selling enclosures to turn an old laptop mail board from framework into a mini desktop.

I think most of their stuff is open source. So the main thing is the barrier to entry to design things like modules etc for the laptop.

What don’t you like about popos?

I quite like it. Having used gnome, kde and even things like awesomwm or other des or window managers, pops de is quite nice

Agree. I just got my invite today. BUt now im…concerned.

Even then I do this with gmail in the web client. That said i dont really BYOD or work from personal stuff. So there is that.

My trait is I think cars are too digital and should be analogue. Giant touch panels are distracting and have generally bad UI design. You can control an A/C with 3 dials, 4 if you have zones and don’t need to look down at all. Pinnacle of engineering.

I will never own a car that has features behind a paywall or that I can’t directly control. Computer cars are fine as long as I have root.

Oh yeah. There was a show years ago called Bomb Patrol: Afghanistan where EOD techs were on deployment detonating roadside bombs. The robot they used was controlled by an Xbox controller and the guy best at the job was their youngest team member because….video games

Same for me. Its awe inspiring what they find, but I totally need “explain like im 5” levels of reduction for it to make sense as to how they go about it.

And even professional ones. Yvette Cendes has posted on Reddit how they interfere with ground based radio satellites.

Starlink is increasing the amount of satellites around earth by a large factor.

500 nm to 2 um (micro).

Mashing subscribe to anything looking interesting and seeing how it goes.

Removing ones that aren’t useful.

It’s worth noting that computer models can help but often start with known data and that may skew the results.

Also, some of the methods we use to find planets are often skewed towards certain types. Most often towards larger/high gravity planets that are also closer to the start aka “hot jupiters”

I use feedspot, but similar results.

Like these sites, i sub to all the things and just prune out junk.

Feedly was my favorite for a while. But they have had their bumps. That said they do more than just RSS and can add feeds that dont support RSS.

I moved to self-hosting my feed aggregator sometime back. For that I use Miniflux.

Yeah its really cool. I also used to post some of the stuff i would see in feeds in reddit, mostly would get buried.

I also edited the post and added some more coverage that had some better explanations.
