FWIW I run Mint which is ubuntu-ish, and Steam and proton don't really give me any trouble.

I don't have a mac, do these voices rely on a cloud component to function or do they run locally? (without internet access is the real test I guess)

Walt at least starts out with noble sounding goals motivated by pride. The show lets the mask fall so slowly on what he really is the viewer will probably have a hard time letting go of the initial appearance, especially if you identified w

I can't say the idea of a verifiable government id being demanded by every social media or other sign up sounds that thrilling to me. It'll just be facebook demanding a scan of your driver's license in a different form. The S

GVT-g is the one that got me. Although with all their storage caching antics over the years I knew what I was getting into.

And I imagine they add new domains with updates all the time. At home I was trying to avoid random reboots from updates in a full proof way in a Windows VM that ran long processing tasks. I determined the only reasonable course of action wa

It makes some amount of sense to me. If I lived a nomadic existence and a larger more powerful tribe drove me out of some territory I'd be angry but eventually just try to find new territory since I'm mobile anyway. If I was a far

LGR on youtube had a video on a home automation system from the 80s. IIRC it had a modem listen interface, although I don't recall the details.

I gave up on facebook (but I wasn't trying that hard) but it seemed to be using the extortion practices a lot of services use now. At first it appears to let you create an account but upon logging in for the first time it demands a pho

That said the film was improved immensely by cutting the scene of the T-1000 using touchy feely scan of John's house and the pointless and sadistic killing of his dog.

This may have been changed from the original cut but I recall it being intentionally unclear that the T-1000 killed the first cop. They made it look like he just passed out from a gut punch, which of course makes little sense.

An interesting level of this scene is that it implies neither terminator is able to identify a fabricated voice even though they have a full understanding of each other's design. The T-1000 cannot tell it is talking to a T-800 until it

I remember reading an article where a guy in the UK set one of these up with a bot like Lenny to make money off the scam calls. It was kind of shocking to me you could just setup any number like that, not just 900 numbers.

Last time I tried to sign up for Twitter it demanded I verify my account with text messages. Actually, virtually all services do this now when creating an account. The worst (Microsoft for example) let you sign up and use the account for a

Man ball mice sucked, it seemed like I was always cleaning the rollers. I generally am an early adopter of nothing but I rushed out to buy that first Microsoft Optical mouse. I was still using it on a secondary machine until a couple years

I'm in the US and I use checks for some bills because they charge me a fee to pay with other methods (off the top of my head, my property taxes and electric bill have these drawbacks). I tend to use the bank bill pay system for these i

I find the audio mix on a lot of movies is such that turning it up makes almost no difference. It barely improved the dialog loudness, just increases the obnoxiously loud music and sound effects. Older media seems to have a more even mix. I

I once bought a pair of needle nose pliers at the dollar store (actually a dollar) back in the 90s. The first time I used them both the grips immediately bent under a small amount of force, which is actually so funny that I think I got my m

So I initially gave up on this show part way through the first season, but not because I hated it exactly it just fell off my radar and didn't grab me. The sex in it did seem...out of place and kind of shoehorned in. And the Joe MacMil

I watched a pretty horrifying scifi recently (I think it was on netflix) about a guy who chose to be frozen and was thawed in the early experimental stages of the reviving process and ends up as a lab rat basically.

It doesn't help that the x570 chipset uses like twice the idle power of the x470 it replaced.

I swear my car was (gently) fighting my steering here due to the lane keep feature before I turned it off. I frequently drive around potholes and dead animals and don't need the car trying to fix that for me.

Oh, sure. I expect that. I was perhaps misinterpreting it to mean if nothing connects for a year the number is released even if it is paid up for 2 years which sounds wrong to me.

Do they really disable paid-up numbers if nothing connects to them for a year?
