A VM would be a good way to try out different distros & desktop environments, and to get some familiarity with Linux. For actually gaming I would install the OS on bare metal (you could dual boot if you wanted to keep windows installed as a backup).

I'll make sure to post wonkier pictures in the future 😉

Having seen a different video about Limited Run Games, the recycled chips news doesn't surprise me

I mean the original anti-piracy ad said you wouldn't steal a car, because they were trying to equate digital piracy with physical theft, it's the meme edits that say you wouldn't download a car

The worst thing about Gemini is that you can't just use it like Google assistant without enabling the "Gemini apps activity", or whatever it's called, data collection

You used to be able to ask it to set a timer just like assistant and it would work fine, now they require you to enable Gemini apps activity to ask it to set a simple timer. The solution of course is not to use Gemini.

Something like almost half of generic medications are made in India.

Is this for cancer drugs or generics in general? Only asking because most of the generics I see in the UK are made here, but that might be because I've only seen the more common medications and not stuff like cancer drugs.

Hope you manage to beat the cancer!

For security disable password authentication - use public key instead, disable root login via ssh - use sudo or su from another user.

To reduce the number of attempts of others trying to get in change the ssh port and/or set-up fail2ban.

You could also set a firewall rule to only allow ssh from your IP address, if you have a static address at home and only need access from there, or have a way to VPN into your home network. Make sure you have a static address if you do this though, you don't want your IP to change and be left locked out of your server.

I don't see any curtains/blinds or curtain rod/rail, did they forget that people need privacy when they were converting their garage into an overpriced studio flat?

Yeah, it would be insane not to buy a Tesla self-driving taxi, they pay for themselves

The "correcthorse" part

Yeah, I was mostly thinking of smaller businesses that used it because it was part of the office suite they were subscribed to and not the professional creative, print or whatever places

Yeah, tbh I was surprised several years ago when I found out it was still being updated and included with 365, since they basically don't do anything to push people to use it. I still can't believe they aren't allowing people on 365 to use it unsupported after they drop support or at least release a good converter to convert them to .docx or .pptx - I can imagine there's plenty of businesses on office 365 that either: will forget that an important document is in publisher format or will completely fail to take any action to convert/migrate their publisher documents and will be scrabbling to try and replace/convert them.

I remember using publisher a lot in school in the 2000s because it was better for doing layout stuff for posters, etc. than word or PowerPoint were at the time. Nowadays I'd just use word or maybe PowerPoint (if I'm using MS office for it).
