The only real issue I've had with Gnome over the years is that it's hard to change your default terminal away from the Gnome one because it's literally hardcoded to use the Gnome terminal. Apart from that it's been great. I'm not a tinkerer and I don't care about random niche features. I just want something that works mostly out of the box.

I am fucking frustrated.
You guys don't get it, I live in a piece of shit country (not india, and I live and work here, I don't want to go to your country, fuck off), it is not just that "oh so women can get hired slightly easier who cares", no, the disparity is fucking ridiculous.
This girl I knew in my previous job she wasn't really exceptional at everything by all metrics, and that is fine, she was alright for our positions in that company.
But she is a woman, and I am not, and I don't pretend to be either, so she got hired by a FAGMAN and in a piece of shit place like this it is not a "oh so she is earning 50% more or whatever, who cares, grow up", no, FAGMAN tends to have salaries closer to the global standard, they get paid NEARLY EIGHT TIMES MORE than a piece of shit job here.
It is fucking life changing, and you can get it by just being the right gender.

Leaded glass is safe since the lead is mixed into the glass. Even if you shatter it, the lead is still inside the pieces of glass. Even if it's small pieces it's inside each piece.

It's far more just because it's thick ass glass.

Well, a similar model of this TV is 157. This sure doesn't feel like no 157 pounds though.

I'm trying to recover data from a Windows 98 PC, and I would like to back up the hard drive (which appears to be failing). I can still read data intermittently, and it sounds like it keeps doing repetitive seeking before it gives me data read errors and general drive read failures. The computer doesn't even detect the drive half the time, and it won't boot from that drive at all.

I would like to try and boot from a Linux recovery distro and see what I can do, namely clone the failing drive before doing anything else, but the optical drive doesn't appear to be plug-and-play (I can't boot off of it because the optical drive only works after drivers are already loaded), and I couldn't get a USB stick to work, so it seems like the only option left is to boot from a 1.44MB floppy disk and get the computer to clone the hard drive itself. I've added another drive, and that one works flawlessly, so it seems only the master drive is bad.

It's actually harder to get a straight answer on which linux distros you can boot from a floppy disk than I would've thought. It doesn't even matter if it has to be an old version, people are saying the wrong version number is capable of doing so (like with RIPLinuX, so I don't know which ridiculous version to use), and I'd prefer one centered on data recovery anyway.

It's a "Proteva Pro Series" PC, I guess. (Not pictured.) It doesn't sound very distinct, but apparently they thought it was distinct enough to brand it that way.

>I suspect it's a RAM cartel using the word AI as an alibi.
i thought this too, but apparently OpenAI really have bought up something like 40% of the supply with exclusivity deals. maybe that's just to starve out their competitors and sell the unused RAM back to them at artificial scarcity prices.

Latency for gaming,

>>107838774
codec compatibility, i.e. your phone or earbuds could support sbc, aac, aptx (and what flavour of aptx), ldac, or samsung's proprietary codec?
can the earbuds be effectively paired with multiple devices, i.e. your phone and your computers?
>>
>>107838774
Batteries will eventually wear out.
Disconnecting one device and connecting another is still slower and more awkward than pulling the plug out of one jack and sticking it in another.
Latency. Doesn't matter for music. Some video players detect latency and compensate by delaying the video, some don't and then the sound doesn't line up. Sucks ass for games.
Mic quality. It's recording from up at your ear.
Bluetooth. When you open the mic device it switches the connection from the "A2DP" mode that plays good sounding stereo audio but doesn't have a mic, into "HFP" mode which plays liquid ass sounding mono audio and captures equally ass sounding mono microphone audio.
Also depending on the brand, sometimes the two earbuds forget they're a pair. Sometimes putting both of them in the case together and long pressing the touch button on both fixes it, sometimes it doesn't.

"Go Pop" doesn't seem like a name that inspires confidence for something with a speaker. Or anything electronic either really.
