If they add wireless charging I’m sold. I’m willing to give up a lot of other stuff but I really want an SD card slot and wireless charging.

I find this mildly infuriating, so I think it fits here.

I failed a handful of times before I made it through. It’s really about keeping am eye on your numbers in the top bar. If any of them aren’t looking right pause the game and find out why.

Just a heads up there are some bugs still and you’ll need to hit some things with a hammer.

I can’t hype The Outer Wilds enough. It’s such a fun exploration game that evolves into a big mystery.

I also just finished Ixion for the second time. It’s a city builder but with stress. I enjoyed it a lot because it scratched my particular brain itch, but I can see it not being for everyone though. IXION soundtrack is a banger though.

I finally got fed up with Windows 11 when an update broke itself during an update. Apparently it was a pretty widespread issue. Defender got disabled because the update renamed several files.

I moved to PopOS and have been happy ever since. I couldn’t believe that almost everything on my Lenovo Flex 5 just worked, including the touchscreen, pen, and 360 degree hinge. The only thing that doesn’t work is the finger print sensor apparently due to lack of available drivers.

I really like how modern PopOS feels.

For real. I moved over to Samsung a while back and I miss choppy choppy light light.

That’s exactly how it works. And every time you boot to the USB drive you’re presented a boot menu with a list of isos. You pick the iso you want and then it boots normally to that iso.

So it’s two pieces of magic that make my life easy.

1. I just copy the iso to the USB drive.
2. The boot menu is automatically refreshed every time you boot using it. No updating the menu required!

Its one of those things, once I started using it, I can’t imagine how I worked without it.

Yeah, I ended up just tossing another $15 at Parted Magic. It really just has all the tools you want on in one place. Great for recovery or destruction.

I’ll second ventroy. It actually just works.
I have a 256GB usb stick loaded with various install isos. It’s great being able to just copy over the iso instead of having to image them every time I need one.

I’m one of those weirdos who actually likes an email client vs a web one. I have multipl email accounts and it’s nice to have one space for all of them. I used thunderbird for years and eventually caved and started using multiple tabs of web interfaces.

With this announcement I said to myself hell let’s try it. Immediately upon installing it I thought I had the wrong version, because the layout was the same old layout that’s it’s always been and not the new vertical card layout they showed on the website.

I was able to change it to look like their new modem redesign but it was not the default. So just a heads up to anyone who’s curious to try it because of the fresh coat of paint.

I’m going to try it for the next few months and see how I like it again.
