this here is the real issue.

The update was meant to fix a situation where an attacker would somehow get grub onto a machine that was SINGLE booting windows and use grub to tamper with secureboot. this fix was meant to only apply in single boot situations where it should be entirely unexpected to see grub. as they said, something went seriously wrong.

I was thinking the meters with the metal probes that go through yeah. Wasn't aware that could exacerbate the issue.

"At the root of the problem are cowboy traders (unlicensed tradesman/contractor) who apply the foam without a full survey or appropriate expertise – but because of lenders’ caution, this is affecting other homeowners who had similar work." also "because surveyors are unable to inspect the roof timbers behind the layers [for moisture], mortgage lenders tend to issue blanket refusals on properties where any foam is present." Maybe in the U.S. we just use wood moisture meters to check for moisture?

It seems to me that the real reason people are upset is that they don't want to accept that the devs of games they like willingly accepted the money. As if Epic forced them.

I can't think of any time in history that the public has had that ability for anything. Imagine being upset because a Ford dealership won't sell you a Toyota, or that Kohl's won't sell you some designer brand.

It's DRM free. Pirate it and add an external game to Steam if the other options are unappealing to you.

I think it would be easier for me to empathize with the "exclusivity" argument if it weren't for the fact that PCs as a general rule are inherently open. I don't have to buy a new computer to install a new games launcher as I would with a console exclusives war. Hell most of the time you don't even have to install the official launcher as so many of them are just web wrappers/electron apps. I've been using the Heroic Games Launcher to claim my free Epic games for nearly a year and the only "downside", if you can even call it that, is that I don't get the weekly popup's letting me know what's free/on sale. Just building a huge library of free games, some of which I already own on Steam. Somebody please show me the actual downside of more competition on a single platform.

It wasn't pulled from Steam. A development company consisting of three people that put out a popular mobile game 15+ years ago got an opportunity they wouldn't otherwise have had to create a sequel and took it. They published on (shockedpikachuface) their publishers platform, as well as Nintendo consoles and their own website for people who don't like Epic. I doubt Allan, Kyle and Kyle would have had the funds or skill to do this on their own.

The epic hate is tiresome. It sounds like they functioned as a publisher here, providing long term funding of development prior to release. The game isn't exclusive and has no DRM, I see no downside to this. Stop hopping on bandwagons of hate and enjoy your games people.

Why does he end up looking like Nic Cage lol

I hear the French had good luck with guillotines.

Docker takes a lot of the management work out of the equation as many of the containers automatically update. Manual updates are as simple as recreating a container with a new image instead of your local one. I would like to add try running Portainer (a graphical management interface for Docker). Breaking out the various options into a GUI helped me learn the ins and outs of Docker better, plus if you end up expanding to multiple docker hosts you can manage them all from one console. I have a desktop, a laptop, and a RPi 4b all running various dockers and having a single pane for management is such a convenience.

aussies are some of the most congenial people ive ever met. their culture (from my brief experience) is very egalitarian. it was such a nice change from all the individualistic crap here in america.

Forbidden West is absolutely gorgeous on PC. It'll be worth the wait.

The "bad" karaoke is a masterpiece and I refuse to let anyone tell me it isn't lol https://piped.video/watch?v=lsHD6yGWTIw

Now tell us the pixel response time.

Even serving 7.5 million people per day that leaves 330-some million people every day who don't eat tacos. Assuming every customer ate a taco with their meal, ~2,200 out of every 100,000 people eats at least one taco each day, so ~2.2%. This doesn't account for people eating multiple tacos, however.

Merriam-Webster states that "the deciding factor for which of these words should be used is the sound that begins the word which follows the indefinite article, rather than the letter which does." So "an RTS" or "a real-time strategy game" would both be appropriate.

Same. I love any of their "infrastructure" type videos. One of my favorites is when their storage server almost kicked the bucket and they showed the unimaginably stressful recovery process.
