the Torment Nexus is just a regular old torture chamber. it's not really infinite. the tech has existed since the middle ages. don't buy the VC hype.

I'm thinking of ditching it. It's been pretty awful lately. A lot of the official extensions I relied on have regressed to the point of being useless.

Also, releasing a FLOSS editor and then forcing you to use a proprietary build with telemetry if you want to debug .NET code is the most Microsoft thing ever.

I've been using this adapter for both BT and WiFi and it's honestly pretty good. Works out of the box and I've experienced zero hiccups in the past 6 months. So long as you don't mind the big ass antenna that is

I'd still recommend getting an AMD graphics card and generally prioritizing hardware with upstream drivers. As in, drivers that are included with the kernel itself. The experience is always better. Overall it's still a good habit to look up how any hardware runs on Linux before buying it.

Gaming in a Windows VM is possible but it was a big ordeal when I did it. You have to make sure your CPU and motherboard support IOMMU for PCI passthrough. It's less of a problem nowadays but there are still some pitfalls with PCIe lanes and whatnot. You need two video adapters, one for the host and one for the guest (because the host has no access to the passed-through GPU) and if you want to game on both Windows and Linux that can be a pain in the ass. It goes on. I personally don't recommend it. If you have to play trashy eSports that ship with built-in anti-cheat malware then just Windows for that.

Most of us did, then it was conditioned out of us.

DRY means Do Repeat Yourself, when the alternative is cooking up some awful OOP abstraction

Give zoomers a break. Most people have terminal baby duck syndrome and will sacrifice anything for convenience, regardless of age.

What is a dickbag though, is it a bag full of dicks, or is it a dick that's a bag, or is it a bag that's shaped like a dick,

tag yourself, I'm freak/nerd

 

They have been in full recruitment mode lately. Posters all over Montréal and (I'm told) Toronto. I'm guessing every major city.

Has anyone here gotten involved with them or known someone who has?
