[Rant] A few days ago, I asked if Mint would run okay on a Lenovo T460 (I appreciate all the advice). I got it working, but the installation was a big pain and I totally blame Lenovo.
I got the T460 refurbished and I really didn’t want to run Windows 10 on it. I last used Linux for any real length of time a good 20 years ago, so I’m pretty inexperienced with it at this point and I had to figure out how to install it myself....

how do I make sure the pixels 7a I buy is completely relockable, including bootloader, on non-stock software?
I visited 3 stores looking for the pixels 7a. One of these stores (best buy) sells it at a 20% discount for only 2 weeks, brand new, 128 GB, so I may go for it to buy and nuke to install graphene OS, then relock it....

Thoughts on a few recent games
Mirror’s Edge - This is a game I’ve been meaning to play for some time. A few years back I played the first couple of levels on a friend’s PS3 and recalled it being a fun experience. So when it went on sale for under £2 on Steam I couldn’t say no. It holds up exceptionally well for a game from 2008! The stylised...
Any news on Cinnamon DE?
With all the news surrounding KDE Plasma 6, I’m wondering if there has been any interesting news about the Cinnamon DE. This is my preferred DE and what I’m currently using on Arch. Last we heard, Cinnamon moved to Version 6 on Linux Mint, and that version comes with an experimental Wayland setup. Since then, I haven’t...
What's the best way to install a linux based OS alongside os x (mac)?
it seems a better idea not to wipe the MacBook Pro, Core i5, 2.8 GHz (I5-4308U), model A1502 (EMC 2875) but to partition the drive and install a linux based os on it....
Help name the story: sci-fi, people living on different weekdays
Trying to find a book - remember the story vaguely, read it maybe 20-30 years ago. People are living/working on assigned weekdays and sleep in others, a couple are interested to move to the same day and somebody arranges it to fail in some way.

What liquids have the lowest refraction?
Asking this because I’ve been thinking about resin printing and how a small layer of said liquid could, in theory, be used to make the prints faster and negate any problems regarding the FEP film (which can wrinkle, tear and be a hassle to clean when small pieces are stuck to it). The ideal liquid would have to be:...
How much longer will the age of Science last?
I’m curious what your take is on the finite nature of Science. I imagine the fractal “edge” will always remain illusive, but when do we hit 98% or 99.999% documented confirmed, distilled, and well explained? (Centuries? Millennia?) When does it become an engineering corpus?...
If frozen embryos are considered as children, then it must be acceptable to freeze children.
Please don’t take this satirical thought seriously, just take it for what it is, total nonsense.
Is there a unified scanner (the hardware) driver like what we have for printers?
I’m building a sw that should be able to read the papers read from a scanner and process them with a minimal user interaction, basically I don’t want the user to jump into another sw, output an image or doc, and insert that into my sw, this kind of problem seems to be fixed when it comes to printers printing, but I...
several questions about the pixel a-series earbuds
if I buy a pixel 7a within the next 5 days they’ll add on top of the 20% off they already offered, a free pair of pixel a-series buds (retail price $100), so I’d get a 33% discount on both items....
