My wife and I were doing big renovations on our home and were dealing with lots of contractors. I would email them and include my wife’s email. Yet every contractor failed to press reply all when responding so my wife was constantly left out of the loop

It turns out people just don’t care to think about or understand basic technology.

This stuff really needs to be taught in school (like how we used to have typing and business communication classes)

I’ve had my 13” for about 18 months and it has been a fantastic laptop.

The keyboard is way better than my MacBook m1. The touchpad is comparable (none are as good as Mac touchpads but it is miles ahead of most laptops). Some people complain about the hinges but I’m not sure why. If I’m doing something intensive the fans come on. They certainly aren’t silent but I wouldn’t consider them noisy compared to laptops I’ve had in the past (including my older intel MacBook)

I run fedora mostly out of the box without issues. My one complaint would be lack of S3 sleep which can cause a lot of battery drain during suspend. I use a hybrid approach where it now suspends for 30 minutes then goes into hibernation. That works well although I miss the instant on.

I expect I’ll stay with framework for the future. I haven’t had to do any upgrades or replacements but it is really nice knowing I can.

Underground 1 (and burnout 3) both for ps2 are the racing games I always fall back to.

I really, really dislike open worlds, stories, pointless customization, and any sort of online play.

I want fast moving, hard to see, dodging traffic racing, with lots of crashing (or close calls).

Alabama… well we actually get to use a black bic pen. But we feed it into a scantron reader.

Better yet. Set up tube archivist or freshrss and just subscribe to decent channels. Ignore the horrible “algorithm” and stuff google wants you to watch.

I am confused by people’s shopping habits. How often are you buying online and what is it?

Groceries and pharmacy are all local. Clothes are a local boutique (I don’t buy clothes more than one or twice a year and I like to try things on and buy quality items). Shoes are from a local redwing store that I’ve been wearing for over 8 years. Computer parts I do tend to buy online, but I’d never risk buying from Amazon. I typically buy from b&h, cdw, or directly from the manufacturer.

My spouse and I just use SO (esso) for significant other. I like it more than partner as it is explicitly a romantic or at least very important relationship.

This is why I am now visiting my library’s movie collection weekly and seeing my self hosted Jellyfin content grow and grow!

That is the whole point. They are ambiguous so the test giver can decide if you passed or not.

I still have my VHS which was extremely difficult to come by in the mid 90s!

But as a teenager who was a huge Bond fan, I HAD to complete my collection.

It is weird seeing an American named Jimmy as James Bond.
