Iirc any cell phone is still capable of dialing 911(or equivalent) even without a sim. So id imagine carrier towers and gps could still find it. You’d basically have to keep the device in a ferriday bag. Which complicates actually using it.

Is it worth having your credentials sold or stolen cuz people might think less of how they receive the same message in text form from you?

General rule of dual booting from the same drive: install windows first, then Linux.

I can see that. Though it’s been a few years since I’ve used it.

Edit: The podcast id listen to were very long format/critical role episodes.

I only used Spotify for podcasts when I used to be on the road all the time. For music, I’ve had a free Pandora account for years now. Does what I need it too. And with wireguard+pihole I don’t get ads either.

I have a sister in law like the extrovert. I’ve watched her within a matter of minutes, go from talking to a stranger, to now they’re babysitting for her next weekend levels of charisma.

I’m using an old HP z420 box. It supports up to 128gigs of ecc ram (which I have), has tons of drive and SATA options.

It could be possible to repurpose the chassis for custom builds too.

The new PC I’m putting together tomorrow won’t go in it. It’s there only really for Skyrims external modding tools that I’ve tried to get working. I have a grandfathered lifetime nexus account, so I’d like to stick with it. LooT, nemesis and resaver, and vortex would be the ones to get working correctly.

Whoops, by helmed, I meant most of the customer facing techs. Not the actual pharmacist.

This is bad, but around where I live, most of these pharmacies are helmed by teens just old enough to work there. I’d imagine many younger people in these positions would just do what the cops are asking: Cuz they aren’t paid to think, insufficient training, they just wanna get the day over. They deal enough with crazy customers as it is, let alone the hastle from cops. And if their policy of just let the shoplifters walk, why would it be different for cops?

Well, your not too off. Like ASICs are made for mining cryptocurrency. Specialized processing designed for specific computations. This indeed make it’s efficiency greater than a general purpose CPU.

Look, I’m all for renewable energy, where it makes sense. When I lived in southern California, BLM had so many wildlife restrictions in place, even for off-roading it was kinda nuts. A lot of it dealt with tortoises. Shortly after moving out of state, they started building solar farms all over the place. They’re massive multi dozens to hundreds of acres in size. Many of them in the same areas they got all worked up about for the tortoises…

Generating the power is only a third the battle. Still need to store and distribute that power. Factor in power demands etc.

What I’m trying to say is, as a species we need to get better. This is a good step. However, the power output of a single nuclear plant to the size shouldn’t be overlooked. We should stop fossil fuel reliance. Nuclear is at this point very understood. Yes some bad accidents happened in the past.

Pihole or similar DNS blocking. I can’t recommend it enough. My smart TVs are the #1 offender on my network. The only thing that will try to pull in more ads are my wife’s mobile games.

Mostly on the newer bios machines. Older ones don’t. Same for hp. Lenovo is all over the place.

Fedora keeps 3 kernel versions by default

Oh ya? Awesome. Mind sharing what it’s about

Look at the kernel version selected

XD it won’t be there soon anyways. Luckily it’s also a separate drive.

Welcome to the dark side XD

Also, don’t forget to take a look at time shift or w/e it’s called. It’s a tool that creates btrfs system snapshots. It creates them when most updates are installed, and you can make em manually too. Really good if you start setting custom kernel stuff or w/e. Allows easy rollbacks from grub menu.

Fedora or, the ProtonGE guys spin Naburo (spelling?) Is also a good choice.

It has that wire to output audio on both speakers? That’s the green one btw. The pink is for mic input. USB could be for a few different things depending on the features that particularl set has.

Edit: Nvm, thought the question was for a headset, not a microphone. Unless the mic was part of a headset or something. Idk, other comments may have the answer.
