Sorry for the delay, two kids with gastro :$

I cheeted, I used my partners Win11 desktop, installed the XBox accessorys app, update completed in about 4 minutes. I have had success with windows based firmware update tools using wine in the past; with a lot of troubleahooting. Her PC is 2 meters from me and it was done in 4 mintes… Yes I feel dirty, but it’s a one-off firmware update. Pick your battles.

I am Australian. Yes, “suggested apps” masquerading as installed apps. Most if them shitty micro transaction games and adobe software. This is not preloaded software, I used to fresh install Windows on all my systems to get rid of that crud.

The final straw was when win10 started putting ads in the start menu. The start menu is so broken and bloated…

The agle of the ors at a glance makes them look like spears.

Cool, thought for a long time there it was just an artistic liberty; but this is much cooler.

Hi Astrophysics,

I always wondered why they draw black holes like they do in that the accretion looks like it’s drawn in two planes. I would have thought it would have looked a bit more like a saturns rings? Or is it exactly like saturns rings but we see the whole ring bent round the top because a black hole bends the light around so we can see it? Or is it something else entirely that they are trying to depict here?

I would also accept dath maul chopping up zombies then getting a pint at the winchester. 😁👍

Sounds like circumcision propaganda to me.

That goofy looking thing will fuck you up.

They have spikes on their wings and no fear.

I don’t like the vibe with it sitting on top of the Titanic. 🫣

How many goes have that had with the hulk and spider man movies?

These fucks nested in my front yard. Then when their chick got stuck in a drain I rescued it while being assaulted (swooped is an understatement) constantly. I had to gear up with a bike helment, glases, towel and stick to fend them off while doing it. FYI they have sharp spurs on their wings and they know how to use them. They would also just swoop me walking to and from the car. They also make a lot of noise all the time.

Take a deep breath and look for the text that follows “password:” Self defeat is sell fufilling! Think of it as ASCII wheres Wally.

We all like to think that way. But your not going to build a bridge, fix a road or fund a hospital are you with your money? Also I am talking about taxes in general not specifically the US.

Two moons and a dude hangliding? I love AI.

Off the top of my head, rope to put down Gide lines in case you get silted out so you have something to follow to get out.

Also extra everything, if your open water diving and you run out of air (or other critial equipment failure) you can roll the dice on the bends by going straight to the surface, not so with cave diving; your just going to drown.

I got my CNC router working via wine about 2 years ago. Was very happy when it not only worked but worked well. Thought I was going to need to setup a dedicated windows PC for it but I can just use my workshop/tinkering laptop.

People are lazy as fuck. Provided it plays their games they don’t give a shit about features updates, patches, bug fixes etc.

They probably have no ideal what version of windows is even installed on their machine.

I’ve done it. I agree it can be done very easily. But is relying on all new users entering the right question into google and google returning a correct answer for their distro that is not 7 years out of date the best strategy in the long run?

Any distro that does not offer a option during install or on first boot to just install this stuff with a promt is not new user friendly.
