    Their games are not binge worthy.

    Why? Sony should just declared bankruptcy and sell their shares to Nintendo

  1. linux is just the kernel. everything that runs on top of it is completely whatever.
  2. Yeah, I don't know what your issue is. Disability is internal, not external. Your family however is external. You are an adult. If your family is the issue, just leave them. You are a legal adult, you have the power to make these decisions for yourself.
  3. Freesync has some weird flickering issue last time I used it on my monitor. I typically just disable it in linux.
  4. this is a bit niche. we call such people alarm and security technicians and again, this is not something you need college or cert for but you do need to know more than just installing cameras. I can think of two occupations worth going to college for. Network Engineer or network administrator. Out of the two, network engineer have far higher salaries and earning potentials(not to mention job opportunities, really, in a lot of organizations, administrators have largely become supplanted by DevOps/infrastructure engineers) but I imagine they also require higher knowledge and have higher skill/exp requirements. It is very desirable that you get a bachelor-level degree in computer science or computer engineering regardless of which one of the two you want to pick. Community college is a very good idea but only if you use it as a budget-friendly option to transfer to a regionally accredited 4 year institution with an ABET-certified engineering program. An associate degree alone is not worth much. Look into in-state public schools that have partnerships with your community college so all your credits transfer into the 4 year degree you are looking at. I graduated from college debt-free by taking advantage of in-state tuition from a public university. My relatives went to some out-of-state private schools. I feel extremely happy with my life being debt-free while my relatives are burdened with heavy debt and constantly stressed. tech sector is highly cyclical. by the time you graduate, it may very have well improved compared to what is currently. i think school is and can be a good idea as long as you have a solid career goal in mind and know the path and have the determination to get there. Just note that community colleges generally have an abysmal 60% drop out rate. you need to be disciplined and motivated to ensure you don't become one of the majority and graduate on time. don't bother with certificates. i see no value in them. my coworkers see no value in them. my managers see no value in them. the recuiters I talked to in the past see no value in them. i have yet to see a job postings that mention them. what I do see in nearly all job postings tho is a mention that bachelor in some xyz is preferred if not outright required plus licenses which unlike certificates are actually REQUIRED BY LAW, although I doubt you need to worry about this in the IT and tech space. Even for companies that drop the college degree requirements, largely for publicity reasons, they have changed nothing in their hiring practices. they still hire exclusively people with degrees, especially for entry-level roles. it is what it is.
  5. i see. my plan is to see the wildlife and the remote landscape and, hopefully, also glimpse some glaciers. hehe.
  6. they usually work in call centers, and much of this is outsourced to India, the Philippines, etc. You don't need a degree to do any of these. Go to school ONLY if you are looking to do something beyond troubleshooting keyboard and mouse problems. The tech job market is also a dumpster fire currently. lots of laid offs and etc from the pandemic overhiring. that is not to say it will stay that way but here are the things.... there are two desirable characteristics to a job 1) low barrier to entry 2) high income these two are inversely proportional to one another. you can have one or the other but not both. case point of 1: YouTube. low barrier to entry so 95% of the YouTubers do not make any money off the platforms. channels like linus tech tips are by far the top 1% of the top 1% in this industry's income brackets case point of 2: airline pilot. requires a college degree, flight school, AND 2500+ hours of flying experience, plus so many licenses. flight school and degree alone cost 100k+ in tuition so very few new and qualified young pilots are entering job markets causing the experienced pilots to be like unicorns. these people get snatched up by major airlines left and right earning half a million+ USD worth of compensation packages per year. so it is either one or the other, not both. you go pick one. Do you want to get paid well or do you want to get a job easily?
  7. not sure. these are all a couple of letters. also, I'm not sure why Vancouver cruises to Alaska are so cheap compared to Seattle. I should've just book the Canadian cruise and traveled 3 hours north across the border. sigh*
  8. i really cant offer anything constructive and avoid assumptions when I have little info to go off of. have you ever seek out out a therapist or a psychiatrist?
  9. i use linux because i really like the gnome desktop, that and the terminal.
  10. Cool, i guess it is technically feasible even if extremely redundant.
  11. win11 has better support for intels big cores and little cores cpu
  12. doing the full loop. i cant survive in the wilderness on my own lol
  13. What roles are you looking at? IT and tech is very broad. It could mean tech sales to a CTO.
  14. Probably because you are doing it in a vm? Try it in real disk. If you get it working, all the power to you.
