Same here in Canada. I think its legitimate learners. Not sure why you think age has anything to do with it, theres no max age to learn to drive. Hell, my late grandma didn’t get her licence/learners permit until she was in her 60s.

Could be related to an influx of immigrations as well, plenty of people didn’t have the luxury to get a drivers licence or own a vehicle.

That or people are just too lazy to remove them haha.

Help, boot doesn't work anymore

I have a laptop eith sata and a nvme drive. I installed a few operating systems and I decided on Mint for Sata. Installed it copied data from Nvme drive since I was using it as primary. I installed Nobara on nvme and it worked flawless until a few moments ago. Reboted and Mint is gone from boot options. Tried to add it but...

Yep, one in the utility room by the furnace, one in the upstairs front door closet beside the kitchen, and one in the garage. Haven’t had to use them for myself personally… but the neighbours came slamming on the door a few times needing one.

IMO every residence should have one handy. Never know what could happen or who might need one. I really should get one thats rated for electrical fires however.

Fubar91 ,

Its on the opposite side of the room, roughly 10-12feet away. Good suggestion however!

Fubar91 ,

Unfortunately a lot of consumers don’t understand this. Even if they use “pro” apps daily. These same people will fall for Apples marketing tricks here regardless.

Let’s be real bud, there’d be a Tims on each side of the bridge, and ones always outta chocolate timbits.

Idiot drivers*

Happens with all vehicle’s. Not everyone that owns a truck has a room temp IQ like the person depicted here.

Fubar91 ,

Yeah thats fair haha!

Retrotink has been a life saver for me getting all my retro consoles hooked up to my new tv.

Careful Tenno, the warframe rabbit hole is a deep one. You may not see the light of day for a while.

1: there is, but at this point its pretty niche and scattered. Lots of its hush-hush due to like you said potential security/insurance concerns. Mostly used for cracking and getting system/diagnostics readouts and error codes, Fowithout forking out cash to do so through the so called “proper channels”.

You can track the health status of most smart enabled ssds. Can use a tool like crystal disk info

Personally i have 2 7 year old ssds going strong without issue. Mainly used for storage and games, so the r/w rates been pretty lower on them.

Ssds do have a total maximum write cycles to nand. Really depends on the use cases over the 5 years.

Fubar91 ,

Agreed, i mainly mention Crystaldisk because its a quick free tool. Definitely reccomend using multiple avenues of info gathering to determine hardware health.

Fubar91 ,

Id say they are most likely in good health. But anything could happen. Always reccomend having a backup option in place.

Fubar91 ,

Twice a day normally. 1 morning, 1 after work if im dirty, sweaty or stinky.

More content around individual games so there feels like more of a community here. Some times its like talking into the void.

Less political respost spam from multiple bots to multiple communities at the same time. Just gets anoying to filter out after a while.

Fubar91 ,

Sweet, thanks chief.

Fubar91 ,

Im still waiting on the world to end since 2012.

Made a killing selling origami ninja stars in elementary school for a buck each.

Fubar91 ,

Haha yeah, and i used to charge an extra 25 cents for a “premium” version made out of construction paper.

I enjoy super mario world. Games primo mario action. Super mario RPG is great as well.

OOT and SM64 are great play throughs, and if you’re interested in learning some speed run tech it can expand the fun.

PS2, you gotta play some GTA vice city and San Andreas. Shadow of the colossus is great.

How to learn to play drums?

I’m thinking about learning to play drums for some time now and I have a question. If I’m a complete beginner should I still get a full drum set? I know you can buy a cheap electric set for like $300 but can I start with something smaller and simpler? Are there some kind of electric pads that would work for taking first...

Fubar91 , (edited )

When i started (20 years ago), my parents just rented a set for the first little while to see of i would stick to it, i reccomend going this route.

I also reccomend a full size kit, be it electric or acoustic vs. Just getting a simple drum pad. The feeling of a full sized kit is vastly different in my opinion.

Electric: Can be loud or can be silent to the environment around you. Light weight. Customizable digital options for sound. Can usally find a kit the is of defent quality for a decent price.

Acoustic: no volume nob and no headphone output, so consider your playing environment. Feels different than electric, hitting skins and bare metal just feels better to me in general. Looks sexy AF. Decent kits are not cheap, and cheap bad kits sound like cheap bad kits.

Hi-hat, kick drum, snare, crash and/or ride cymbal, floor tom and 1 or 2x tom-toms would be my reccomendation. Electric you will have a wider selection of sounds, seeing you can usually program them for different usage.

Edit: just wanted to add, a drum pad is still a starting point, so if thats your best option go for it! Hell, even some different sized plastic buckets is a start worth pursuing.

Right around the time the the former EA CEO moved to being the Unity CEO.

Same dude that thought they should charge players money for ammo in micro-transaction format.

Dudes a shit lord.

Fubar91 ,

If they study the UFO, does that just make it a FO?

Fubar91 ,

In that reasoning they made confuses me.

I’ve also never had a usb-c just fallout/ feel non-secure. You’d think with the increased surface area with the usb-c ring fitting between the port wall and the center peg of the port would increases gripyness logically. Vs The single peg insert of a lightning cable.

But eh, im no physics doctor.

Fubar91 ,

Ah yes the clips! I stand corrected haha.

I haven’t owned an Apple product since the ipod nano, so the only lightning cables im used too, are user owned devices, which are normally chewed up without the little side clips functioning.

Ty, for the reminder!

Fubar91 ,

Just use one of the 6 other DLSS bridge mods kekw.

Puredarks mods been working since day 1 for me. No issues, even with reshade.

Fubar91 ,

Ah fair enough, for some reason i read a different mod submitters name. Ty for the clarification!

Fubar91 ,

Yea its doable. Really depends on the games anti-cheat. You’d want to check each game.

Battle Eye based anti cheat games like R6S and Tarkov gave me issues last time i tried a similar setup. That was a few years back however, and with valves proton push, much of the compatibility has improved since then.

Damn all these comments discrediting the 2, just like all the NA migrants discredit Native Americans rights.

Talk about doubling down on bigotry towards a race of people. Sheeesh, some of y’all are hypocritical.

Fubar91 ,

Yep i can. 30 Male Canada. Grew up in the praries just outside a small town. All we had for fun growing up besides games was old cars and dirtbikes. Currently drive a automatic however.

Fubar91 ,

Careful buddy, you can’t make logical points about windows systems. The Linux gooners on Lemmy are ready to beat their meat aggressively while taking your points out of context. Even if you agree with them overall.

Fubar91 ,

Damn, we shoulda listened to Alex Jones about the fluoride afterall…

Fubar91 , (edited )

Theres a few:

  • yeah, don’t buy PC parts and wow gold with those bitcoins you will mine in 2011…
  • watch out for the fallen tree at the bottom of the hill on the bike path, your breaks don’t work very well.
  • some older kid will decide to bully you, but dont let it bother you so much. Loser ends up unaliving himself via drunk driving into a wall later on.
  • oh also don’t take your ps1 and gamecube collection to EB games for trade in, you only get 3 xbox 360 games out of the deal and will regret it.

(Mostly) mandatory Microsoft account sign-in.

  • yea you can just create a local account lol.

Setup screen asking you about data collection and telemetry settings.

  • so just like some current Linux GUIs and installs that also ask this. Same with MacOS

A (skippable) screen asking you to "customize your experience."

  • just press skip like any other OS that asks.

A prompt to pair your phone with your PC.

  • also skipable, and isnt even asked on a local account setup.

IDK man win11 is pretty simple to “debloat” and most of the shit in this article that they complain about is common on multiple Linux, Apple, android, etc. setup/install processes.

Win11 is dogshit for a variety of reasons, like the shitty new start menu formatting/lay out. The god awful menu nesting. The laggy audio panel. The list goes on.

If we’re gonna be nitpicking an OS. Atleast nitpick shit that actually impacts operation and isnt also common on many OS’

Fubar91 ,

They ask about both diagnostic and telemetry options. Ubuntu 22.04. Default GUI prompts this during account fist login. Rocky 8 with default GUI asks this on initial user account login. Those are just the two i used over this past weekend.

At no point did i say it was the 20 questions that windows tosses at you. I purley stated it still happens.

So you can suck my dick with your shitty attitude trying to discredit me and my statement by misinterpretation and spinning what i said into your own dog shit interpretation.

Fubar91 ,

Depends on user competencies with computers. It really isn’t difficult to full remove. Its even easier to disable like you mentioned, and for most common users, out of site out of mind is a fine option.

Now i do think having to do so is dogshit and should not have to be the case. I’m just saying what i specifically quoted from the article, are not fully true.

Fubar91 , (edited )

Yep i agree. That is why i prefer using Linux distros as my general use OSs.

Was just mainly pointing out the articles fallacies in their reasoning from the section i specifically quoted.

Fubar91 ,

Well of course. Some bozo said i lied, then miss-quoted me, then tried to discredit me based off their own made up bullshit.

Sorry for standing up for myself i guess haha?

Fubar91 ,

I agree its a load of garbage. But that wasn’t the point of my statement vs. the directly quoted protion of the article i was referencing and reaponding to. The article list those issues as defaco issues, which they are solveable as i stated and was pointing out. Which occur in other OSs. Not to the extent of the garbage of windows 11.

Nothing i stated is untrue. You took the meaning and spun the context of my statement and spun it into me defending microsoft and windows11. Which i never did once.

Fubar91 ,

Yep exactly what i stated, you can create local accounts. It’s dumb you have to do the work around, i agree with that.

Fubar91 ,

I just want to mention: wizards with full tadpoles, attck roll reduction with bonus damage roll increases + magic missle at 6th level pops off similarly as hard and never misses. Was doing roughly 170-210 damage a round.

Cant wait to see what other crazy builds people figure out!

Fubar91 ,

Wholey depends on the content of said delivery platforms. Tik-tok content does tend to lean towards mindless entertainment. If it was a bunch of learning or information content as the majority, people would have less of stink about it.

Too much of anything is bad obviously.

Fubar91 ,

Are they both using the same SSID or sperate?

If you search your phone for wifi priority you can set a preference.

If the same SSID, it should automatically swap to the highest connection strength AP. Depending on the networking hardware you might beable to addjust single strength. They could be overlapping, and reducing singal overlap may help the phone determine what AP it wants a bit easier.

Fubar91 ,

Thanks for expanding on the knowledge. I was mainly speculating a bunch of stuff seeing limited information of the setup was provided. You explained that much better than myself.

Fubar91 ,

2020’s the decade of the .jpg wars. Lmao.
