FakeNSA

I've got bad news, boss: We all get older (or we get the significantly less fun alternative). But yeah, I'm a post college boi now, and I do feel old pretty often

Yeah, I actually graduated a year ago this week! But then life got... crazy busy with other things. Yeeeeeep. A younger NSA would be very disappointed in us, but so it goes.

NGL I log into the forum every couple of days, read everyone's status updates, and try to catch up on this thread (y'all be posting to much for me to be 100% caught up though). I don't think I've actually been active active in over a year though: just too much going on anymore.

On an unrelated note: I just shot my first 22 pistol match (the entry level steel match at my club), and I'm hooked! (I have an SR22, and the combo of 10rd mags and gawdawful trigger.... didn't help my admittedly lackluster skill). This, of course, activated the "poor financial decisions" part of my brain, and I am constantly scrolling past listings for the P322/TX22 (although I'm leaning towards the P322). Now I've just got to wait for the MVD to ship my updated license, so the address matches :(.

While I understand the community frustration around working with companies with less than exceptional employee records, my main concern with sponsors is, as always, if the content is misleading. If LTT was sponsored to walk around a DC and show everyone's (forced) smiling faces, that would be one thing: however, if you were using the sponsorship as a vehicle to show off cool tech or facilitate other interesting content (like IETU), I don't think there is any problem with it. If a consumer chooses to use Amazon as a result of the sponsorship, they will be treated well by their service/support (at least in my experience), so promoting them doesn't seem to come into conflict with the ethical standards that LTT has previously established.

Granted: you never wake up again. I wish I had social skills

As much as I love Hanlon's Razor, this seems so breathtakingly poorly thought out as to require malicious intent. Damn.

Yep, if you're trying to get around academic restrictions, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. Much like piracy or other ethically gray/black topics, advice on cheating is not allowed on the forum.

Actually one of the less cursed switch installs I’ve seen: at least it isn’t hanging by the RJ45 from a hole in the ceiling

It's possible you're giving the process too much ram: For running vanilla, I wouldn't assign more than 2 gb to the process. Beyond that, though, I'm not sure what to tell you, other than uninstall/reinstall.

If you press F3, does it show the 3080 as the primary GPU? Or the iGPU?

Hype! Also, I just realized I missed our 2 year parrotversary: sorry y’all! It’s been a crazy few years, with COVID affecting our school, work, and everything else, and now excitement in Europe…. But it’s been a pleasure to spend all this time, despite the downsides, with you all. Sorry I’m not super active anymore, by the way: life got…. Very busy. Love you all!

Stealth birb best birb!

No hat for me, because no internet on pc for the moment But merry Christmas and happy holidays, y’all!

A surprise, to be sure: But a welcome one, I hope?
