Re: I'm a "Hamma"
Speaking of nephews, one of my nephews who I think is in his 30's now, has been playing a lot of Fallout: New Vegas lately on Steam. I saw him playing it in Steam when I got off work last night and he was still playing it when I went to bed. When I got up he was still playing it, and still is, almos...

Re: Arch Linux 2024
Plasma 6 is still not nearly as stable as Plasma 5 anyway, it often crashes when I merely click on a launcher. If he's not going to do any gaming on Linux then Debian may be a better option than Ubuntu. Debian is pretty good these days and with none of of the Ubuntu nonsense, though it will get crus...

Bazzite
I've been hearing about Bazzite recently and watched a few videos. It's a recreation of the Steam Deck OS (SteamOS). It can either be done as a console install or desktop. It's based on an immutable version of Fedora, but seems to work very well from what I've seen and read. I thought I might try it...

I'm surprised to hear Manjaro is still on Plasma 5. Slackware-Current is still on Plasma 5, but that's not surprising considering how long he stayed with Plasma 4

Re: heh... my qemu still runs
You can avoid paying those insane prices for a Windows key. There are sites that sell legit keys for $20 - $40, I got a Win10 one over a year ago for a small machine where I've occasionally needed a Windows install, and a Win10 key last summer for a test machine (the one with the Intel Arc card) wit...

Full Screen Ads For Windows 11
During a meeting this morning I had a large (but not full screen) ad pop up on my work Windows 10 laptop. It was for some Microsoft service, I was only in a meeting at the time and on a different screen, but if I had been working that would have covered up my work area on that screen. It reminded me...

Re: heh... my qemu still runs
I got it to work via Proxmox (also uses qemu) to install a Windows 11 VM. There it's just a matter of adding a virtual TPM module in the hardware section of the web GUI. Similar in Virt-Manager.

I was glad when that DLC was finally over lol! It gets more frantic near the end but you get access to much better weapons.

Re: Twitter
That happened to me when work switched me from using their remote virtual machine to the laptop. Their VM was based in Texas or Florida, and right after I started using the laptop I got a message from the client facilities IT department about the change in location, and I had to change my password.

Re: Twitter
Yeah a lot of people will click on the link in the email rather than going directly to the site. At the top of the notification it says "attempt" so maybe they didn't succeed. Back in those days my passwords weren't nearly as strong as now so I wasn't sure what I'd find. I don't see any ac...

Intel 13th & 14th Gen Game Instability
We may have dodged a bullet by going with 12th gen. Owners of Intel’s latest 13th and 14th Gen Core i9 desktop processors have been noticing an increase in game crashes in recent months. It’s happening in games like The Finals, Fortnite, and Tekken 8, and has even led Epic Games to issue a support n...

Re: Solve one ESD problem discover another
It's been a while but most likely some of them were MSI. One of them was a Supermicro board which only started doing that after I flashed the BIOS in an attempt to solve another issue. My Gigabyte board was $170 US, so about $235 CA. It solved all the issues I had with the MSI board and gave me more...

Re: Solve one ESD problem discover another
I have had an occasional machine that would immediately start back up after shutting it down, it was very annoying. I had to reach back and use the power supply switch to keep it off.
