I don't get it either. My thinkpad has option to switch s0 sleep on/off and I don't understand why I would want to drain my battery and bake a backpack so it wakes up just a little faster.

Windows makes deck more like a laptop. No comfortable ui/sleep, so it's like steam deck with everything good taken away but with compatibility.

Monitor the temp gauge in your car. Overheated my civic's engine when radiator leaked :( had no warnings until it's too late (2008 one). had to replace it, now always trying to have an eye on it

So what? In the past people had books and magazines Before that people asked relatives or their parents

It's just a different method of passing on the knowledge. Nothing changed with smartphones - just a different way to exchange information that can't appear in your head by itself

Gaming on linux became MUCH better thanks to valve and their support to proton. It's not comparable to the state it has been 5 years ago.

I wrote my own software and used commercial plotter (from 90s - it is way faster than 3d printer) in order to achieve result that can make teacher believe that it was written. In my language it is required for letters to be connected when handwritten (my program does it), there are different variations for each letter that are stretched and rotated during generation (I used pen tablet in order to input them)

It was written mostly when I was in 10-11th grade (that's why the code is spaghetti) and I indeed wasted much more time than I would if I did my homework like a normal person

Btw here is repo: https://github.com/Snow4DV/3DWriter

Yeah... I still remember when they gave a game away by mistake (it simply had a price tag of 0 dollars) and took it back right after saying that they would have let users keep it if they did such mistake. That's funny

It's good actually that there's no global karma count: it means you won't have the reason to farm karma by reposting/posting bad quality content => more good OC in your feed

Honestly - due to stereotypes. But logically thinking I'd say that most driving routes aren't very complicated in US when compared to European countries according to what I've seen in movies, dash cam videos and etc. Also IIRC most people in US live outside big cities: like in smaller towns so they mostly drive on interstates or small streets (nothing complicated). See the stop sign? Stop'n'go. Red light? Stop. Green? Go.

I'm from Russia (many bad drivers here too so I won't say anything bad about us haha) but in Europe it's pretty close: many roundabouts, sometimes complicated road markings, denouements even in small cities. Streets of American cities are also engineered in simpler way: there are square blocks of houses with perpendicular intersections . So drivers simply don't need that much rules and tend to fail in simpler situations when compared to European country when you deal with some over engineered sh.t.

How can it have check engine light on if that's a Nissan? It would fall apart because of rust but won't show any engine warning

Are you talking about usa? Bc it is the same in many countries but they usually don't deal with such a big amount of terrible drivers (ain't saying that to "usa bad" talk, just my pov)
