  • Had a Mohawk for a while. I cringe when I think about it and I made a few YouTube videos with it that have thankfully been deleted.

    Though I’m glad I did just to get it out of my system.

    Similarly with shaving my head. I walked into Supercuts and told the lady to shave it all off down to the scalp. She asked if I lost a bet or something and I said, nope, just always wondered what I would look like with a shaved head lol. My head has too many imperfections to keep that up.



  • Thank you so much for your help.

    So this morning I ended up deleting all my drives. I have 4 different SSDs/HDD in my system and I originally figured I would just delete the OS SSD and then let Windows discover the other drives once Windows was reinstalled. I realized last night it’s just mostly games I can redownload so I went ahead and deleted every partition in Linux this morning. Thankfully Linux helped me move over everything that was actually important before deleting.

    Then I went and tried the Windows installer again and now it works.

    I have added all my drives except one. I get an I/O error when trying to add it in. I’m guessing this was my culprit all along. And I remember that I did do something to this drive when setting up everything yesterday which was add a cover over top of it to help with cooling. I’m not sure if this has any impact, maybe I damaged it or something. But I’m not too worried about losing it.

    Thank you so much for your help! I truly appreciate it.





  • It’d be nice but would hurt indies because indies thrive due to not needing a physical port, and only releasing one once they are popular and successful enough to afford it.

    I guess you could include some verbiage that would target AAA studios, but they’ll find a way around it like they do everything else.

    And at this point, I’m not really fond of most AAA titles anyway so this won’t do much for people like myself to care anymore. Physical releases are something I care about less since other issues have arisen over the years, specifically in the quality of the game, itself.



  • I am blown away by KDEnLive and how quickly I’ve been able to pick it up to learn it.

    It’s as simple as the classic Windows Movie Maker but also just as capable as iMovie or what little I did in FinalCutPro on a Mac.

    One feature I love on this is that I was editing a video on my Windows gaming PC and have the files all on the cloud. I then loaded that same project on my Linux laptop and it gave me an error that it didn’t have the media… however…it would parse a folder FOR ME and then add that media back into the project. In minutes I had the complete video timeline just as it was on my Windows machine now on my Linux laptop.

    It’s also just so basic and easy to use. It’s a bit refreshing and not intimidating to use. Granted, I am someone who’s somewhat familiar with video editing from other applications, but not a pro by any means.



  • I’ve played guitar and trombone. Only did trombone for like half a year, and was too grossed out by the spit valve lol so I stuck with guitar.

    I can read tabs but can’t read music and can replicate the tabs with some practice.

    But I go years without playing and then randomly pick it up so I’ve never gotten good at it. Just a fun hobby and fun to know a little here and there.








  • They wouldn’t have to go that far. Windows 10 was able to correct a lot of the mistakes of Windows 8 doing that while still allowing for users to have a desktop experience, such as that Start Menu screen you could bring up for a better touch experience.

    Users have been begging Apple for a touch screen Mac before the iPad with companies even making touch screen MacBooks as well as touch screen peripherals. Especially with a lot of Mac users being artists or developers who would benefit from having touch abilities natively in macOS.

    The demand is there. But the real reason Apple won’t is because it’ll cut into their profits.




  • Some of the newer ones have moved away from that in the past decade. That’s how I “made” some SATA adapters years ago and got cheaper hard drives to put internally in my laptops.

    I did one in about 2015 and when I opened it up, the SATA adapter wasn’t there and instead they had put a micro USB directly onto the board of the hard drive, so you couldn’t detach it.
