This is a pretty fucking reasonable question right now.

Active noise cancellation. It’s a bit like magic. Don’t be a wanker and say “Um actually, all you have to do is emit an inverse waveform.” I think it took a hell of a lot of work to get this right, especially integrating it into relatively inexpensive consumer devices. Thanks, scientists and engineers. Well done.
Haha! I hadn’t thought about that. Maybe his listenership primarily uses RSS. I miss RSS podcasts.
Edit: Forgot a word.
I listen to the Tin Dog Podcast sometimes when I’m making breakfast. Who stuff including Big Finish, Blake’s 7, and other sci-fi.
Well, there are at least three of us. Last time I said brown sauce in a thread like this I got downvoted. 😆
I mainly started using exFAT on flash drives (even on new ones) since it is interoperable between Windows, Linux, and Intel Mac. To be clear, I never don’t unmount the drive properly under normal conditions, but I remember reading around the time it was introduced that the Windows implementation guaranteed the buffers were flushed after every write (meaning no unwritten data remains when the activity indicator on the drive stops blinking) but now I can’t find any evidence that was ever the case. Wouldn’t be the first time I got bad info from the Internet. 🤷♂️
I prefer a real Brooklyn slice but it can’t be had where I live. IMO Donatos is a fair substitute. They’re in like 30 states.
The big national chains are garbage.
Random thoughts, no particular order
I think btrfs was the default the last time I installed Bazzite, but I don’t really know anything about it so I switched it to ext4. I understand the snapshot ability is nice with rolling release distros, though.
It’d been ages since I’d used FAT32 for anything until I made a Debian live USB when I was setting up my pi-hole on an old Core2Duo recently. It would only boot on FAT32 for reasons I probably once knew. 😆
NTFS was an improvement over the FATs what with the journaling, security, file streams, etc. I use it wherever I still use Windows (work).
Most of my general purpose USB flash drives use exFAT. I like not having to worry about eject/unmount.
What’s a long time? I literally scheduled a pickup last year for a pre-paid label and it was free. Anyway, another commenter seemed to say that it’s the shipper’s choice whether they cover the home pickup or not.
Sure and I’ll probably do that on Monday. Just another pain in the butt.
Ah so I should be blaming the shipper, not UPS. Those chincy bastards.
I’m shipping using a pre-paid label. Pre-PAID. And they used to let you schedule pickups for free, as I said. It’s not like they come straight to your house. They can come by any time during business hours on the day you schedule.
But I don’t think you care about any of that. Whatever is wrong that makes you this way, I hope your life improves.
Fair but we don’t get regular deliveries via UPS. Most everything we get comes USPS or occasionally FedEx.
They didn’t used to. 🤷♂️
Don’t listen to the jeering goons, OP. Keep asking questions. 🤜🤛
Hey, sometimes you need to hose out the cruft.
Why yes, I do maintain a legacy application that still stores user files in Program Files in blatent violation of 15 years of Windows best practices and continues to be done contrary to my repeated advice, why do you ask?
Forgive the stupid question, but what does this mean, exactly? Does it mean Nvidia support on par with that for AMD? Will this enable a release of Bazzite that supports Steam Gaming Mode for Nvidia cards?
I made an effort to learn it. In 2000. Again in 2012 or whenever the last big push was. If past is prologue, I may need to learn it again soon. 😆
Wouldn’t it be nice if documentation used the words index and offset consistently?
