It’s about as dangerous as using IE in the old days, or Edge in administrator mode.

Yes, and it’s trivial to retask with the AC97 HD Audio program in Windows, but I couldn’t find an equivalent program for Linux.

I do use Linux, and I’m usually glad about it, but I wasted an hour last night trying to figure out how to change my microphone port to a subwoofer port, and never did solve the problem. Linux is awesome, but sometimes basic stuff is ridiculously difficult or impossible.

Nobody’s afraid of them. This article created its own problem to complain about.

That performance made me wish I was a cool beatnik, poet, jazz cat.

Man… I guess considering your strong feelings about it, you’re better off without him, but he’s one of the most interesting companions in the game. He has a tragic backstory, and a cunning personality. He’s my second favorite companion overall. I was this close to betraying Karlach because of his machinations.

That’s not fun at all. It being true was fun. :(

Oh, then she’s already dead. Her body is on the ground. Use a scroll of revivify. That’s the fight I told you to be ready for in another conversation. I don’t think you can peacefully resolve that conversation if she’s alive and you choose to save her. But if she’s already dead then you probably don’t have to fight them. Just let them leave and revive her.

Apparently beastiality is far more popular than anyone predicted.

I’m the opposite. I didn’t find Lae’zel until I went back from act 2 to fetch her. Then she was so angry all the time that I just left her in camp. Shadowheart is my pal, and has been with me the entire journey, Lae’zel is just some orc looking chick who I fought alongside one time on a ship, during the worst day of my character’s life.

I’ve started telling little kids and other people looking for help to get lost. I need to go help my gay vampire friend destroy his master, kill his brothers and sisters, and enact an unthinkable ritual, after which we will seize total control of the world. I don’t have time to help you find your mommy.

You guys manage your dot files? Huh!

Agent Smith clarified that civilization progressed beyond 1999, but that it wasn’t human’s progress anymore.

Agent Smith: “and I say ‘your’ civilization, because after we started thinking for you it became ‘our’ civilization.”

That sounds like the good old days of computing. I followed so much sketchy advice that I barely understood when I was still learning computing and it somehow almost always worked out. There was that one time when a program started deleting my entire hard drive though, and I had to yank the plug out of the wall to stop it. The internet truly was the wild wild West for a time. Good times!

Huh, I’ve never actually updated any firmware for SSD or any other drives. I’ve updated my BIOS, but only rarely. Are there any significant advantages for updating HDD firmware? I guess I wasn’t even really aware that was something that you could do.

Don’t buy Samsung anything. Their hardware is junk. They used to be okay, but they decided years ago that they want to be an advertising company, not a hardware company, so they push cheap crap that is used solely as data harvesting and ad delivery devices. Even their home appliances spy on you and break down a few years later.

Most Americans have very little choice but to provide their personal information to credit bureaus.

We don’t even provide it, they just take it. You can’t do anything to stop them. Getting inaccurate information removed is a full-time job.

Lol

What does Fairphone offer for the car infortainment interface, or are you stuck without one?

As someone who switched to a Pixel from an iPhone, I’ll tell ya that I think the Pixel is a better phone. The only things iOS has going for it that are better is tap to scroll up, swipe to go forward, and a slightly better camera. Everything else works better on my Pixel.
