I picked up a copy of Overload somewhere on the high seas. The graphics on that game are so intense that my poor little laptop can only get like 3 frames per second at its absolute lowest resolution and quality settings ☹️

Maybe one day I’ll get a better system worthy of high end games. It’s just not high on my priorities list now, as I don’t play games nearly as often as I did in my teens and 20s.

Oof, I hear you there. So the CAD software you use won’t run under WINE?

Oddly enough, I’ve repaired a plasma cutter controller system running CAD software from 1991, running under Microsoft Xenix of all things.

It probably ain’t too much of a stretch to get that software running under Linux, if only the company released their source code.

It was cheaper for them to keep their old stuff running than dump $20,000+ into a new updated system.

Who said I can’t figure out how to install Windows? I don’t want Windows anymore.

The very first thing I did when I got my laptop that shipped with Windows 10 was format it and install Linux.

It’s a shame that I can’t transfer the Windows key in the firmware to someone that could use it ☹️

You’re supposed to remove your clothes from your anus before you go to the laundromat.

I won’t make that mistake again.

Linux never asked my mother’s maiden name nor insisted on creating a cloud account just to log into my computer.

Also, many distros of Linux come with all the main baseline productive software one should need on a live boot media, ain’t even gotta install it to try it out.

Be the change you want to see. Strip naked in the laundromat, lead by example…

“But this bitch just works now”

Haha, sounds like you’re pulling from my own quote bucket!

I’ve never had significant problems with that. I mean sure, there can be minor hiccups and inconveniences when finding and installing proprietary drivers, but aside from that, I don’t have any issues after that.

When you have to spend more time fixing Windows than actually using it, it’s probably time to consider buying a Chevy installing Linux instead.

Plot twist, it’s not AI that generated those fingers, that’s the hand he grabs women by the pussy with.

Of course I wouldn’t expect any emulator to run faulty instructions by default, but it seems to me that it would be an interesting option for digital historians to study, if for no other reason than shits and giggles…

Locally, indoors? Silence.

I like to be able to hear whatever is going on outside. Ideally, that would also be silence, but if something is going on outside, I like to be alert and aware of it.

I’ll also take a little rain and occasional thunder outside, as usually people aren’t acting a fool outside during rainy weather.

Challenge accepted!

I’ve rebuilt guitars before, don’t see any reason I can’t built one from scratch with all the proper parts.

I’ll take my downvote, whatever.

I still hope OP gets better soon, regardless of the cause.

Don’t eat the onions…

Hope you get better soon.

Hey, at least in Idiocracy, once they determined the guy to be smarter than everyone else, at least they put him in charge of things…
