There are several things like that in Fedora, which is already a good reason not to recommend it to first timers. They most likely won't know or care about nonfree codecs, they will just see a broken machine. Linux Mint understands that as a use case and has a "magic make it work" checkbox during install.
That all being said, I run Nobara and love it, but i wouldn't recommend it for new people.
XBOX has seen the writing on the wall. People that want a console want a PlayStation. Everyone else wants a Steam deck or a PC and everyone else wants a switch.
But Game Pass makes all of that irrelevant. With game pass they don't have to sell hardware at all which always involves taking a loss on hardware.
I figure the next thing we are going to see from them is a thin client that can stream games from XBOX Live+ Me Edition. For 39.99 a month you get Xbox Live and Game Pass and your games get streamed directly from Microsofts datacenter. On the other side, Game Pass for PC will be 30 for local play and 40 to stream and then in 2026 the Xbox handheld will launch which will be a Qualcomm AV1 decoder/Wifi Chip with an X on it that starts at $199, and includes 6 months of Game pass+.
This is the future they've been waiting for since The Xbox 360 Elite.
Failing to properly evacuate the city during a Tsunami because its easier just to clean up afterwards (Cities Skylines).
There have been some smaller ISP outages in my area too.
There was a recently disclosed giant problem with DNSSEC that was suppossed to have been mitigated but I wonder whether certain DNS providers haven't been able to patch yet.
This is interesting and a lot of commentary says that the reason smaller films aren't released physically is that there is too much work involved to do so at is mastering the movie for bluray would be impossible for a group of talented editors, color correctionists and sound engineers.
Personally, if anyone has any insight into the bluray mastering process I would love to learn more about it.
I mean if an outfit like Vinegar Syndrome can do multiple 4k restorations of crappy B movies every year, what's stopping other production companies?
I can personally vouch for the Cooler Master NR200. Its super nice to build in and very versatile with PSU and GPU configuration.
The version I built for a friend had a 5600x with a Noctua NH-U9S and a 6700xt and absolutely zero issues with cooling.
Other than that, same thing others are saying, start with the case and power supply and then work backwards.
Yeah I know. It's definitely a me problem. I'm sure one day I'll come around.
It's been a long time after all...maybe my time is finally here.
I think it's amazing when done right.
But
Almost every time I've been to a 3d showing they have the screen adjusted wrong or in the wrong aspect ratio and it messes everything up.
I have a buddy with a home theater and a 3d projector with synchronized LCD glasses and 3d blu rays in that context are great.
My main takeaway from this episode was the Romulans and Vulcans being the same and what the implications on that for Starfleet and Spock especially.
Romulans are like Vulcans? Does that make Vulcans bad? Romulans good? Spock is already the different one on the bridge? Will the rest of the crew believe in Starfleet ideals or will they turn on Spock and allow racism to rule the day.
Tie this to treatment of Japanese civilians in the US during world war 2 (something Sulu's actor was unfortunately quite familiar with). Are all members of a race bad because the governments are at war? Obviously not but this is a common refrain from the ignorant and afraid during conflicts.
Ultimately the Enterprise and the Romulan captain stop seeing themselves in terms of soldiers fighting for their side and instead as 2 people caught in the middle of the fight between their governments. The Romulan captain's sacrifice in the end exemplifies the realization. Rather than continue the conflict and drag both sides into a brutal patriotic conflict, he sees the humanitarian cost of such a conflict and therefore, the intrinsic value of life of both sides.
The episode wants to drive hope the point that people are people, no matter nationality or political conflict. At the end of the day we are all the same. Despite Stiles racism toward Spock, Kirk and by extension the Federation-idealized humanity, will have none of it.
Looks good. I'd go for 32 gigs of ram though if you can swing it. Also is there any reason why you want a 22" monitor specifically?
The reason this one should last is because ddr5 is new and so is the AM5 socket for AMD. AMD supported the previous socket from 2016-2022 so many are speculating that you should be able to do CPU upgrades for the foreseeable future without having to change the whole platform.
I've had to use this service to talk to Verizon sales people that just refused to take no for an answer. It's no worse than teams or zoom or meet/duo/whatever Google is calling it now. But it's also completely unnecessary that it exists and BlueJeans is just such a stupid name.
Hopefully more Justin and Tawny than Alex.
