    Lets play @LinusTech bingo! You get a 100 points for every correct guess! The grand prize is a one of a kind water block by Billet Labs!

    1. Doubles down states he and Linus Media Group are the victims of a witch hunt by Steve and Gamer Nexus.
     
    2. Doubles down on Billet Labs water block being stolen and sold off sorry my bad I meant auctioned off!.
     
    2. Calls all the facts brought up by Steve as being "Cherry Picked" and saying its really a non issues.
     
    3. Teary eyed apology video we/i will do better done "off cuff".

    I'm watching the video and they put a sponsor joke in it. It was just a bait and switch, where they did the sponsor segway but didn't do an actual sponsor, instead just going "jk jk we not doing that".
     
    Still though, what the fuck?

    Eh I think you have to have some sort of dress code, but in general as long as your chest and genitals are covered and there's not some other obvious problem (extremist ideology, call to violence, drugs) there should generally be a live and let live attitude.

    kelvinhall05 reacted to DigitalGoat in How do people use terminal for everything, especially external actions?   
    Exactly, I was directly replying to your example of, I assume, Windows menu nesting and search failure in the GUI and the frustration resulting.
    Which example is similar to how people react without much Linux experiance when faced with the terminal there.
    The problem is, as the OP says, when on a Linux based forum you tend to be shouted down and made fun of if you refer to a GUI option, often with 'if you want OS for dummies, use Windows', the truth being that as many if not more Windows functions can be run from the run box, command, PowerShell & terminal, the same as with Linux.
    Having a terminal open on either OS for running commands is always going to be quicker than finding a menu or drilling down through layers of shortcuts, but it is not the ONLY way to use an OS and should not be enforced through some wierd sense of purism and insulting behaviour, which is the meat of the OP's post.

    kelvinhall05 got a reaction from beace in How do people use terminal for everything, especially external actions?   
    This is usually nearly identical syntax to installing new packages (or removing existing, or upgrading individual, etc etc). It all happens within one CLI-based program. For instance, if I wanted to upgrade my entire system, I just type:
    yay To install a new package(s):
    yay -S package_name other_package_name To remove them:
    yay -R package_name etc.
    I mean, at most you're looking up the package name. You have to do that with Windows too, except you're Googling for the website itself, then the download page, then installing it manually. That being said, I find most package names on Linux are pretty intuitive and often nearly identical to program names (with minor variations like hyphens instead of spaces).
     
    I think the exception to this are any distros using apt for package management, or AUR packages without a helper (like yay in the commands above). Having to add repositories (Ubuntu) can be clunky and having to essentially manually build packages (AUR sans helper) can be difficult too. But ultimately both follow the same syntax, just with different names or whatever.
    It's faster than having to live in a constant state of Windows search, nothing, shit that opened Edge, close edge, search again, ok settings, shit it's not in settings, search again, control panel, search again, shit not there either, search again, open Chrome, search how to do action, oh it's in this menu, repeat.

    kelvinhall05 reacted to Sauron in How do people use terminal for everything, especially external actions?   
    That's not true, most command line programs have built in manuals and help commands and package managers in particular almost always have search functions that allow you to find the names of the packages you want. Add some experience and you rarely have to look anything up. It's not beginner friendly but for an experienced user it's not an issue. That's not to say that the command line is always ideal, I don't know anyone who exclusively uses the terminal even if you technically could; it's just very efficient for some uses.
    I mean... I guess those people are just assholes? If installing through the software center works there's no reason to insult people for suggesting it. At most you could mention that you can also do it in the command line, which might be faster.

    I'm a trans woman who has known for many years who and what I am. I've been medically transitioning for maybe 5 years now and haven't looked back since. I'm now married and am living a life I could only have dreamed of before coming out.

    This month has been relatively stressful in terms of work and outside stuff, but the positivity I see in here and other places makes me so happy honestly. Seeing Emily come out made me really happy and I was so glad that in some small way I could support someone else who may or may not have needed it, and that hopefully she'll be able to inspire other LGBT+ people as well ❤️

    It's not about getting people "interested". It's just a thread where people can talk to each other about these things and sometimes going off topic. It's not really a thread that needs to be active 24/7, it gets used when needed by the people who want to post here.

    kelvinhall05 reacted to Admiral Shark in Mechanical Keyboard Club!   
    IBM 3178-C4 EBCDIC Typewriter Keyboard, P/N 6052141, from 1985. A Model F "blue switch" capacitive buckling springs keyboard. The purpose of this titular switch was to toggle between all-uppercase and mixed case text display on the host terminal. "Typewriter" in the name refers to the fact the keyboard was made for actual writing input usage instead of purely repetitive data entry, which were distinct tasks on these old terminals and thus had unique keyboards for both. The blue 'coily' thing in the second photo is a solenoid (its original one, in fact) that is designed to make the keyboard louder as you type, because why not!

    Anyway, it's my next restoration project! Chiefly, it suffers from severe case damage. I have ideas on how to patch it up (with 3D-printed parts and/or resin moulds), but I'm still spinning ideas at the moment. Otherwise, the keyboard is mechanically sound.
     



     
    There are a few more photos on my site if you're curious - I didn't want to spam all of them here. I'll also be documenting the restoration to help others in the future too.

    I haven't heard of people buying separate PCs. Separate drives maybe, cause dual booting on one drive is somewhat unreliable.

    kelvinhall05 reacted to jaslion in My child keeps factory resetting his laptop to bypass parential controls   
    Kids have different interests and will engage differently. It's just how it is. I mean as a teen I was hard failing my last year of middle school (barely 30%) but ended up finishing in the top 3 with a 96% average for semester 2 pure out of spite for a teacher calling me an idiot :p.
     
    Might wanna look into why they are failing school and have a good calm talk about it. One where you really listen and don't judge. Might find a way to motivate and reward your kid appropriately.
     
    That and also teaching them about online safety and moderation.
     
    As for ways to bypass.
     
    The moment a usb stick can be used to boot from it's game over. No protection stops that. So the bios password is a must. However WRITE THAT DOWN SOMEWHERE because you do NOT want to loose that password. Also make sure to disable any boot options that aren't the laptops drive. Because if you leave it at stock it is entirely possible that they find a way to trick the laptop into booting from one of the active options that aren't disabled.
     
    As for parental controls. Well yeah they are quite easy to bypass still and Microsofts parental control stuff whilst good and amongst the better isn't unbreachable. So do make sure to closely monitor their usage.
     
    As for the Roblox chatting. Is it only in the game or also via other chat apps? I recommend you check for that too.
