A similar thing is happening to me as well. My calendar looks weird and some app folders have squished together app symbols.

I’m slowly rewatching Cowboy Bebop (only have a couple of episodes left now) and I still love it. It’s my first rewatch after having watched it for the first time about 15+ years ago and even with all the other great animes releasing over the years, I think, it still stands up extremely well.

Can you explain what takes so long then when setting up your devices, because I really don’t get it.

Playstation 5 setup should be a single login, then download and install firmware updates and before playing a game install another update. Everything else should be optional.

And two days to set up a router is not normal and something only very few people would have to deal with. For the most part it should either be connecting the router and it setting up automatically or connecting it and putting in your login data.

In general I would argue that it has become a whole lot easier to set up tech nowadays. The only thing that is more annoying today than in the past are mandatory accounts for tech that doesn’t need them so they can gather/steal your data. That shit sucks.

Not bad, just extremely overpriced.

Kann ich leider nur zustimmen. Jedes Icon/Jeder Button der nicht an der selben Stelle wie gestern ist führt zu Anrufen in der IT, dass die Software kaputt sei.

Die allermeisten User lernen die Schritte die sie im Programm machen müssen lediglich auswendig und können nicht einen einzigen Prozess auf andere Programme transferen. Wie damals in der Schule im Mathematikunterricht, sobald die Rechnung anders aussieht können die meisten die Aufgabe nicht mehr lösen.

Yea, the deck is fine but so far I haven’t gotten the SSD to work anymore. When I put it into my PC it wouldn’t post and instead freeze on the bios screen. I’m now using my original 64GB eMMc storage that came with the deck, which is less than ideal but at least it works.

I updated a couple hours ago but when I tried to look for the new bios setting my deck didn’t boot up anymore. It seems my SSD was fried or something…I don’t know if the update had anything to do with it or if it was just a coincidence.

One of my cats can’t get enough of them, literally begs for them daily. For her it’s butt drumming > food.

The other one hates them.

Danke dafür. Hatte ein Kundengespräch und war nur panisch am wegdrücken und hatte mich dann auch gefragt wie man dann wohl schnell an die Nachricht kommt.

Thank you for the great comment, that was super informative. I didn’t know Nordic Games became Embracer. That explains it a bit why I thought they came out of nowhere.

The whole Embracer situation is so weird to me. I hadn’t heard about them until the news broke that they were buying some of the Tolkien licenses and had already been buying a whole bunch of game studios. Cut to a couple months later and Embracer can’t get rid off all these studios fast enough apparently bleeding money left and right.

Where did they suddenly come from? Or was I just out of the loop on them?

Sowas nervt dann echt total. Unsere Badezimmertür ist 55.5cm breit, da mussten wir auch extrem lange suchen bis wir was vernünftiges gefunden haben. Wenn man sich dann nicht auf die Angaben verlassen kann, dann ist echt Ende.

Das könnte tatsächlich sein! Die Tür zum Badezimmer ist auch so schmal, dass ohnehin nur sehr schlanke Waschmaschinen reinpassen. Kann gut sein, dass das für Toplader gedacht ist.

Was auch geil ist meine Wohnung hat so eine kleine Waschmaschinennische, aber dort wurde der Wasserhahn so gesetzt, dass die Waschmaschine trotzdem vor der Nische stehen muss. Das einzige was diese Nische macht ist, dass ständig stuff hinter die Waschmaschine fällt und unmöglich rauszukriegen ist.

Apparently he fell while he was out jogging.

Fucking nvidia. I’m currently still using an nvidia card (3070) but my next card is going to be an amd card again. In fact, just yesterday I finally built a gaming PC for my wife which got an amd RX 6800. Which is a great and performant card with a pretty good price.

At least for me, raytracing is pretty unappealing anyway. I’m not that much after high fidelity graphics and the performance hit is annoying. Which only leaves DLSS as a selling point and with how FSR (especially FSR 3.0) is shaping up the better quality of DLSS is just not worth supporting nvidias bullshit.

I’ve never seen it before until now, but you’re totally right. I’m going to start hating it too now.

I actually do most of my gaming on Linux. No problems thus far. I’ve only got Win11 on my PC to play VR.

While it’s already been talked about, for no. 4, does anyone know a good batch renamer I can use with Arch/Gnome?

On Windows I had BulkRenameUtility which was really good.

That does suck. As someone who isn’t impacted by this I even thought it was getting better but I guess what I was seeing was just superficial choices like the Body A/B stuff I was talking about earlier. I am privileged enough to be only ever impacted by wanting the beards to have a different color than the hair. Which is actually a thing in a lot of games nowadays. I can hardly imagine how it must feel for everyone else to want to play as someone they can at least identify with, when the options are so heavily skewed towards a certain demographic.
