That’s unfortunate. Did you try anything with the warranty? I’m curious what that experience is like.

I have a SF4 arcade stick that’s more than 15 years old now, still going strong.

Hori are well-known for their high quality controllers of all kinds. It’s pretty sad that they put out a piece of garbage like this.

Walking around the building and taking the slow elevator down is long and tedious. This juat makes sense.

they’re owned by Tencent

About 35%

Tim Sweeney himself owns 41%

Heroic Launcher runs on both Windows and Linux

A small puppy, obviously killed by the same blow that finished off the victim.

Multiplexing is a relevant term to look up for more information on the concept

The characters are modeled to look like their actors, Charlie Cox in the case of Gustave. Though he definitely has a Robert Pattinson look to him.

I have friends who work in the film industry and they pirate movies and TV shows all the time.

A 1cm cube is 1ml and not 1cl.

One litre is a 10x10x10cm cube.

I have Nobara running on an old Lenovo Flex 15 with an 8th gen i5. Everything on it worked right out of the box including the multi-touch screen, I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t work on any other distro. I can’t tell the difference in responsiveness between Windows and Linux on it.

Americans have the means to remove their tyrant, but I guess most of them don’t care enough to use those means.

I’m kind of shocked that it’s only been 18 years since the last 486 chip was made. It was launched in 1989 and discontinued in 2008, while the original Pentium was launched in 1993 and discontinued in 1999. Hell, the Pentium 4 was discontinued in 2007.

I will check when I get a chance. Nothing jumped out at me after, but I didn’t think to check in the moment.

But on sale for $10 on a monthly basis.

But don’t you want that sense of pride and accomplishment?

Yes, I tried with VLC as well. It works as intended there. Video pauses, and the PC suspends or shuts down normally.

Firefox seems to be the only thing that prevents it, and only if there’s a video loaded. Doesn’t have to be the active window, and it doesn’t matter which display it’s on. If there’s a video playing or paused, it prevents suspend and shutdown.

That’s not a fix though, it’s a hoop to jump through every time. Regardless of OS, it’s incorrect behavior.

Until those willing to stand up and fight build up into a critical mass, every individual is at risk of being disappeared by the thought police. So until then, there is a good reason to be scared.

Others have already answered your questions, so I just wanted to add that the Linux community is based on sharing and cooperation, mainly though Open Source principles, but also in most other ways. From personal experience, I would say that the community is pretty much always willing to help out when you experience issues. There’s always someone willing to share some insight.
