I mean, how long should a laptop work? OP said it was pretty old, these things happen. I totally understand wanting to keep what you have going as long as you can, but hard drives have a lifespan and it’s usually around 3 years of constant use. SSD are a little better but flash still ages. Not ideal but at a certain point you kinda gotta accept that it’s not long for this world if you don’t do maintenance.

Pretty much how I feel about it too. It’s not like I invented anything here, I mostly copied it from others or the docs. I will share snippets with people if it helps them but I’m not publishing everything either. Might need to look into yadm at some point.

Only when I’m doing MS shit for work. Otherwise I find it kind of a pain. I get that some of it’s ideas are nice, but functionally it doesn’t actually do anything for me on unixy systems that bash doesn’t so I don’t. I’m not going to install it on all my servers so using it for scripting doesn’t make sense and I do more Linux admin than MS.

It’s a Thinkpad thing. I always use Linux and don’t map them to anything so I don’t really find them useful but maybe they are in windows.

Rio as in Plan 9?

The foot clan is strong

How do you feel about trying Virtual Machine Manager instead? I really prefer it over virtual box, personally. It uses the KVM virtualization built into the Linux kernel instead of needing a module like vbox. If you want to stick with virtual box for some reason, I would make sure that all the drivers are installed on the windows guest, you should really always do that with a VM.

https://sysguides.com/install-a-windows-11-virtual-machine-on-kvm is a pretty good guide I have followed for VirtManager.

Every time I try to use Gnome boxes I walk away frustrated and confused. I thought it was just an alternative GUI that did the same thing as VirtManager. It’s doing something behind the scenes that is very different and not perfermant. I use spice with VirtManager daily and I don’t have issues, but I’m not using the spice webdav stuff either, just display I think.

We started calling wireless mice hamsters because they got no tail.

I’m on Sway and I use the mouse copy and paste all day everyday.

Yeah, I’m not sure how well YouTube is going to run on Kodi, I’ve never actually tried it. If you have another Linux box around you could install Kodi and try it pretty quickly.

This looks nice!

https://libreelec.tv/ If you like Kodi this is the business. I have had it working with remotes, the biggest drawback for me was streaming services not supporting 4k on the Odroid N2+ I was trying to use. Plex worked great through Kodi, and that was my biggest use case.

Exciting times for risc v. Maybe we will have a workstation class CPU that isn’t reliant on closed architectures some day.

Holy crap, that cosplay sure is a thing.

My hands are pretty medium sized, and I think it’s the most comfortable portable device I have ever had in my hands. It is however a bit heavy. It’s also not a pocket device like the Gameboy was, although most DS are not very pocketable either.

I also think that the marketing failed hard. I don’t remember seeing any ads for the game, and the marketing in Japan made it seem like a bait and switch for Mother 3. It also released pretty close to the Japanese mother 3 release as well.

I was going to mention Contact being a unique game, glad I’m not the only one who remembers it fondly. The reviews upon release where not great but I thought it was a pretty good game.

This is what I came here for. Can’t forget about the chubby one.
