They partner with an enemy of the US who now gets a presence in mainland North America at the US’s doorstep making infiltration to the US, etc. even easier.

I’m not seeing a setting to disable updates. Do you know where that might be? Thanks!

Thankfully, I don’t have this update yet. Not sure if because my region is Japan or if that’s not how they decided upon the staged rollout.

I had a mouse where one was vertical and the other horizontal, but I seem to think the horizontal scroll was oriented horizontally. Having googled the mouse in the picture, it says one is programmable and suggests it starts with volume.

I actually got board, got a new HDD, and got linux mint on it. It doesn’t seem to have a bootloader installed and trying to install grub2 hasn’t changed anything. I’m also pretty disappointed in game support. Maybe I’m missing something, but Steam knows it’s on linux and a huge number of games in my library just say they run on windows or windows and mac.

I’ll check it out. Thanks!

One of my goals after moving is to get another HDD and dual-boot as I transition away. I mostly have to figure out gaming and video editing stuff. I will also probably run WINE just for notepad++ because I can’t quit it with the textfx tools (so far as I know, the linux clone was abandoned, sadly).

Tons of places do not have bidets. Hell, numerous places here still have squat toilets. I guess they are common in many tourist spots and stations in bigger cities. I have some occasional digestive issues and tend to know where toilets with washlets are in places I frequent.

This is totally not my experience. Maybe you have a bad bidet and/or dietary issues?

I tried Chronometer but there are no japanese foods and they won’t add any to their DB so I basically gave up on it :/

I have a goole pixel watch I bought when my Garmin died. It’s fine for my needs.

IIRC, they paywalled a bunch of previously-free features

11 in my neck of Tokyo. The last few nights have dipped below freezing, however. This probably isn’t super weird for the time of year here, however. Going up to visit the inlaws for the end of the year, and it’s currently 0 up there. Last year, I think we hit -15 whilst we were there, but this year it looks like the low is going to be freezing (which is rather warm for northeastern Japan in December).

I play a mix of characters. If they’re voiced, I tend to prefer feminine voices. I think there are a number of reasons for this, but one practical one is that I just hear better in a higher range for whatever reason (and this gets more true the older I get). I have a much easier time hearing higher-pitched voices and generally find them more pleasant.

If they’re not voiced, it depends upon if I’m role-playing something specific. If so, I’ll pick whichever I think fits best. If not, I’ll probably pick a female character just because I find them more pleasing to look at. I always wanted to go back and do a female V playthough of Cyberpunk, but I just never got around to it.

Years ago, in the early 2000s, I got in to MMOs with Final Fantasy XI. I played mostly female characters there because people were more likely to help out.

Proof? There are other (some equally creepy) ways that it could get this info. Depending upon how the DVD player is connected, it could simply be getting info from that. It could also be taking occasional screenshots. There are other things as well.

Edit: poster below links to Roku and they use screenshots.

Yep. In Japan we all use LINE with a small fraction of (largely Western foreigners) using whatsapp. Korea has kakaotalk with some (also?) using LINE. I’m not sure what’s most popular in Chinese circles these days; WeChat, maybe?

I signed up to an insurance company here in Japan with first.last+something@domain.com and they later changed their rules and I couldn’t sign in at all. They told me to open a new account. I didn’t want to pay them once let alone twice. Never doing business with them again.

Japan is YYYY-MM-DD, but when we talk about dates where a year is unneeded, we just cut it off which leaves it in the US standard format of MM-DD, much to the annoyance of non-US foreigners living here.

I haven’t done UI work in years so I’m not sure how they do it these days.

Ideally, to save bandwidth on both sides, the server would only want to serve you the JS and CSS you need. I’m not sure how frequently that optimization is made, however.

I don’t think he can be in a relationship with god. Assuming protestant, and often evangelical, there’s a trinity of which Jesus is part and whom they consider too woke
