This. Around the same timeframe.

I did manage to unlock the bootloader and install something, and that broke Knox. Who cares, right?

Oh, but when I put the stock firmware back, Knox was STILL broken, because Samsung, so I'd never be able to resell it or even trade it in without complications. Because Samsung.

Proton, but I've been questioning that of late :-/

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Hooked me and then I explored lots of the rest of the series!

KEF but it stings as a Canadian.

Roberts Camera via eBay.

Never private. Too many scumbags out there trying to unload broken crap. Kijiji and the likes has completely trashed any and all faith I ever had in humanity.

"Movie released in 2024/2025 beats movie released during pandemic at box office"

What makes headlines these days boggles the mind.

I saw 3 just yesterday, and personally I thought it was the worst one so far?! But my now 14 year old son disagreed and thought it was the best one so far. Metacritic seems to agree with him too.

I don't know, maybe I was having an off day or something. I felt like it was aimed at a slightly younger demographic than the last couple? Like, pre-teen at best? I didn't get that feeling from the first two.

Woa, hit the breaks on the rebuild.

I'm old and my memory is going, but I know I've had this before ...

I think I had to figure out how to -

  • shutdown the host
  • mount the virtual disk as a 'loopback' device
  • fsck the disk

I know this seems like it should be block level and that shouldn't matter, and I could be remembering wrong - but I really think I went down that path and it ended up being the solution.

I know this doesn’t rest in my hands alone.

It does not rest in your hands at all. NO ONE can or will stop ANYTHING until THEY want to. And they have to REALLY want to. Just going to rehab once or twice doesn't indicate that specifically. I was in rehab with someone who was there because if he didn't "do something" his work was going to fire him. I don't think it was his first - I know it wasn't his last, he was in there again while I was still in aftercare. That was 12 and a half years ago now ... I just found out a couple months ago that he died, drinking.

The real kicker is he'd completely reset his life - he'd moved 6 hours away from here - HE WORKED AT A TREATMENT CENTRE - complete "success" story on the outside, but clearly there was some shit going on inside that he wasn't talking about or dealing with.

We can't fix other people. All we can do is be there if and when they reach out for help, and hope for the best. It's sad, but it's life.

I have a Flag Smashers shirt... go figure, they speak to me.

I was putting it on a couple days ago and I paused and thought about it, and suddenly realized the immensity of the propaganda - the great Captain America destroying the evil socialists who think resources should be shared by everyone, and that nationalism is a barrier to truly having 'one human family'.

Blew my mind it took me this long. Also made me wonder if they were dug up from long ago comics when America was openly and blatantly monitoring and persecuting socialists and communists (specifically picturing the scenarios and time illustrated in Oppenheimer). Haven't had a chance to dig in to that part yet, but I will right now!

I've not tried to use it in games, but given the "scroll, lift, reset... scroll, lift, reset" x50 it takes to get across the Windows desktop, I would agree.

It does have "FPS mode", which basically turns the right controller into a vertical mouse. I haven't used that for basically anything either, but I've read rave reviews from some FPS players!

Great to hear it is a good drop-in replacement

DB compatibility breaks at a point though (7.x maybe? Going off fuzzy memory) ... so if you're migrating from that version it's a little less "drop in" and more "oh shoot, this method doesn't work either?!? :'( "

Very happy after the 'migration' though!

I won’t consider these new devices because they don’t have touch pads

Maybe we're talking about different things... but, there is a touchpad on my Legion Go?

 

He's apparently been a nuisance in the nearby gardens. Pictured here plotting his next move I do believe.
