Me too. I have a Brother printer. When I first set it up, Windows printed everything in inverse black and white until I hunted down the correct driver. Windows also never figured out how to wake it up, so I always had to manually wake it up. And it simply never worked with the scanner.
Linux got everything right without me having to fuss with anything.
I installed Graphene OS. Loving it so far.
I think LLM’s are incredibly useful in limited circumstances. But it needs to be on-demand, NOT omnipresent.
For example, I’m learning a bit of C#. I was following a tutorial a few weeks ago that had some code I didn’t understand. I spent an hour googling and reading documentation, but found nothing. I headed to ChatGPT and asked it what it meant. It gave a clear, easy to understand explanation.
Unfortunately, the industry is going about this all wrong. Google wants to force Gemini on my Pixel. So I nuked Android. Microsoft silently installed Copilot on my laptop without consent. That laptop is now happily running Linux.
Forcing these tools on people will just alienate people like me. In a way, I’m glad it happened. I’m much more satisfied now that these companies are minimized in my life.
This was the push I needed to switch to Graphene. The Gemini offer popped up for me a couple of weeks ago. The only options were something like ‘Yes’ or ‘Not now’. No option to say never, which of course means they would bug me again and again.
So I reported it as Spam and made the jump.
I came here to say pretty much the same thing, but found your post instead. I just made the jump this week. I’m running a Legion 5 Pro with 2 SSD’s, so I left Win11 on its drive and installed Mint on the other. They seem to be playing well together - no conflicts so far.
I’m pumped on how simple it actually was! I wish I’d have done it sooner…MS has been really irritating me lately so I finally went for it. Loving it so far!
I can relate to coming back from a long layoff. I was out pretty much all of last year due to a persistent back tweak. The programs I use taper up the volume over the first 3 or 4 weeks. As I got back into it this year, I just repeated the first week of a program over and over, gradually increasing the weights as my fitness returned.
When I felt like I was stalling, I moved on to the next week, repeating it until the next stall. And so on. This is a pretty conservative approach that makes sure I’m ready for the added volume.
Absolutely. 4 movements in a workout is plenty, IMO. Depending on your rep/set scheme, you may be over doing it if you’re coming back from a long layoff.
Start tapering in some accessory work as you acclimate to your routine.
If you’re feeling completely wiped workout after workout, take a closer look at your volume and intensity. Too much of that can be a problem. Head over to Barbell Medicine and see what they have to say about session RPE (sRPE).
To me, this is its biggest flaw. You can’t scroll back in chats very far, but you can search for lines further back. However in a truly spectacular display of uselessness, the search only returns the chat bubble you searched for, with no surrounding context.
When I had it, my only symptoms were in my nose, too. Not nearly as bad as you, but I constantly felt like I had a bunch of water up my nose… The same feeling you get when you swim on your back underwater. It was a really weird sensation.
This is spot on. A family member of mine is a high school teacher and faces everything you laid out. I’d add the seemingly constant threats of lawsuits and violence to further illustrate the untenable atmosphere.
Dude… Well done! This thing is amazing. I’ve been wanting to get some effects pedals but can’t deal with the clutter. This is just what I need. Now to study your repo and see if I can get one together.
Hmmm, I don’t even see that one in the app store. Maybe a regional issue? The one I use has 20k reviews and 500k downloads.
The one by Mobifolio? It just updated today, so it doesn’t seem abandoned. I can’t speak to the trackers but most apps do that anyway.
Off topic but I’m using the app tracking protection from duck duck go. Maybe give it a try?
I used Car Maintenance Minder way, way back. It was perfect for me but it was also eventually abandoned.
Have a look at Simply Auto. I use it now. While it’s not as good as Car Maintenance Minder, I think it does what you’re looking for. I’m not sure about the multi device function though.
Nice work! I’m not an HVAC guy but it looks good to me.
I honestly haven’t noticed a difference.
