I live less than 30 miles away from 3 of the world’s most famous golf courses and I have literally zero interest in the sport. The closest one is just something I cycle through occasionally.

That reminds me of my (Scottish) cousin’s marriage to his Korean wife. The place settings at the dinner had transliterated versions of our names in to Hangul. I’m sure it was largely done for the non-English speakers present but I thought it was a really nice touch.

It was really interesting to observe how some names could be approximated with a single character whilst others (including myself) had to be brute forced with 4+.

Firefox has a new profiles experience in v138 and up. Each can have its own extensions and settings. If you’ve got more than one you can switch in the taskbar. The only thing you might be missing is using multiple profiles at once?

I run mine on a Intel N100 based mini PC from Beelink running Proxmox. It’s just about the only thing it does at the moment so I’ve had no concerns about bottlenecking.

It’s much more powerful than a pi and costs a not too dissimilar amount to one after you factor in a case, storage, power supply.

Totally valid criticism, I absolutely agree with you. Times are tough for trans folk and giving money to transphobes is not helping that.

Looking back on it, I wouldn’t buy it having seen how far off the deep end she has gone. I admit I dismissed her at the time as just a nutjob on Twitter but she’s now proved to me that she is a bigot beyond reproach.

I also find myself in a better educated position than I was at that time. I have more LGBTQ friends and family than ever and I’m challenging anti-trans behaviour in others when I spot it.

Not OP but I bought it for my sister who is notoriously impossible to buy birthday presents for because she explicitly requested something for once, then I played it through Steam family sharing to deny at least one sale of the game.

You can get by for most apps with MicroG which is a cut down implementation of play services but some apps will absolutely refuse to run on a non-factory Android image.

Last time I was on a custom ROM I got most things to work to some extent but some jush didn’t work e.g. NFC payments via Google Pay.

IIRC there’s legislation being discussed in the EU that could compel Google to offer hardware signatures for custom ROMs in future.

“Negative Fifteen” and “Negative Seventeen” also work in the same way

It’s the fact that it’s in near real time now, older techniques with older hardware would need much longer.

Not really answering the question but I’ve completely stopped buying anything that requires USB micro B. I can’t fucking stand that connector. USB C costs a negligible amount more and I’ve yet to have a single port or cable fail irreparably after using it for the best part of a decade.

An actual answer to the question? I’m done with Microsoft and Nvidia. I’d love to add Google to the list but I’m still largely entrenched in their ecosystem.

I’m right in the Millennial/Gen Z transition, mid 90’s. I struggle to associate strongly with either group as I missed most of the important Millennial stuff but I was too early for a lot of zoomer stuff.

I love ligatures but much prefer the ones that preserve the proper width of all the characters for this exact reason

Interesting, my experience was in rural Georgia so could be regional?

I’d put money on it being the US.

I’m from the UK where chip and pin is required and contactless is nearly ubiquitous so when I was in the US recently I was baffled that a lot of places had me signing for things.

I much prefer FSR as it’s a more open system. DLSS only works on Nvidia because Nvidia wants it to only work on Nvidia. FSR might be a step behind tech wise but it’s improving all the time.

I think it’s easy to draw a comparison here with the G-Sync vs Freesync debate that has pretty much resulted in total victory for AMD. From my observations G-Sync clings to life in only the very highest end bleeding edge turbo gamer monitors.

More open and permissive standards hopefully win out in the end.

You could configure the DNS only on devices that don’t have issues with it rather than the network as a whole?

I suspect they might be talking about a DNS based ad blocking solution. Like Pi-Hole or AdGaurd DNS.

They work by blocking DNS requests made by ads so the content can never be accessed. They’re theoretically more powerful than browser extensions as they have the opportunity to block ads anywhere.

“shouldn’t have to” ≠ "don’t want to*

I’m the one that doesn’t want to learn anything then you drop an “England” on me? I’m Scottish or does that not matter because is it too much for you to learn that the UK is more than England?

My brain is filled with far too much shite about measurements. I love all of it. I’m a great lover of odd and obscure imperial units. Please don’t try to tell me I don’t want to know.
