  • Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title
  • They had so much filler too. The giant mechanical hand sitting on a junk pile in Shinra is cool as a bit of a background piece, but not as an entire puzzle corridor. The remakes are littered with little things like this that deliberately slow down the pacing in a not very meaningful way.

  • Checking to see what movies were playing tonight. Didn't even know this movie existed. Decided to check and see how packed it was in my rural Eastern NC town. This is for the showing starting in 30min
  • Those books were always in Costco but I never saw their stacks get short. My guess is a couple organizations collaborating with O'Reilly buy copies of it in bulk and ship them straight to a landfill.

  • Welcome to Meta’s future, where everyone wears cameras
  • They're gonna keep trying again and again. Data at eye level is too valuable for these vultures. A company's eventually gonna come up with an irresistible design that'll reach a critical mass of adopters sooner or later. The only thing keeping this thing back so far is the obvious camera on their face.

  • The game was a lot of fun. The only issue I had with it was how the endings branch out. I won't go into too much detail but let's say I didn't expect a seemingly benign choice leading me to become such an asshole.

  • Man charged with allegedly assaulting mail carrier delivering 'Harris for President' mailer
  • It's a means for the news source to cover its ass. They can't outright say it as a fact otherwise they run the risk of getting sued if the courts find the man innocent.

  • I've always wondered if smart TVs have some other way to phone home with your info in lieu of a WiFi connection like SIM cards or LoRa solutions.

  • Is ice cream becoming too soft?

    I decided to purchase store bought ice cream after years of just buying from places like Cold Stone. It seems to me most ice cream manufacturers have very soft ice cream now despite storing it in a freezer for a week straight. I could easily drop a spoon in the tub and watch it cut straight through to the bottom. The consistency is now kind of disgusting because it feels like I'm eating whipped cream instead of something that should be semi solid. So far I've tried Tillamook, Dryer's, and Target's in house brand and they all have that same mushy texture.

    Before anyone suggests it's my freezer, I've kept it relatively uncluttered and everything else stays frozen just fine. I also make sure not to purchase those tubs of "Frozen Dairy Dessert". What happened? Is this some cost cutting measure or are customer's preferences really going to extremely soft textures?

    If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?

    It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

    If billionaires could suddenly gain immortality, would the world's governments finally act against climate change?

    I'm pretty sure they would. It's not like they'd like to see their seaside properties go underwater within their lifetimes.

    Installing CH340 drivers in Linux Mint running 5.15.0-88 kernel

    Hi all, I've recently switched over to Linux Mint from Windows 10 and I'm having trouble installing a CH340 driver from Sparkfun. I've managed to unzip the contents and have it in this location: /home/user/Downloads/CH341SER_LINUX. I've tried running the files using the ./ command for both the ch34x.c and Makefile but ran into a bash issue which I'm stuck trying to figure out. Could someone please tell me how to make it work? I've already looked up a couple of different videos on Youtube but they kind of skip the explanation of how to install this driver on Linux in favor of Windows and MacOS.

    Please see the attached image for the response I get in the terminal.

    UPDATE: It turns out I had a bad micro USB cable. Most of the ones I was using to connect to an ESP32 board were charge only. Mint apparently had the driver for this all along. Thanks for the help everyone.
