Well deserved. Who’s next?

I long for the day that space travel becomes so mundane. Won’t happen in my lifetime, but the thought of that is mind-blowing.

That’s awesome, such a cute duo!

That’s my goal right there. Hopefully have someone by my side to dress up and go to these things.

I’m so sorry:/ she reminds me of my cat. Has the exact same black streak across his face in the same way.

RIP sweet girl

I remember one of Caleb Hammer’s guests talked about this. Sounds like some real nasty stuff the way he was hooked on it.

It’s crazy what is legalized and what isn’t in this day and age. Was just talking this over with a coworker yesterday.

I had the same on my KVM with Bazzite. No other distro I’ve had does this too.

I need to first switch the KVM over to Bazzite PC and then the monitor will pick up video. Otherwise I have to restart for it to appear.

Super annoying but I’ve conditioned myself to switch over before powering on now.

Ha, I still have my IBM ThinkPad but it has never had a working battery in its life with me. The hinge on one side is also still cracked and I could never properly close it.

Was my first laptop in the mid-2000’s running Windows 95. I got a USB 1.0 Ethernet adapter so I could surf the web on the DSL line we had at home before we finally upgraded to a wireless router.

Good times. On MySpace, ripping music to the 4GB IDE HDD I had into MusicMatch (before I learned about iTunes), checking news for Halo 3, trying to play games…

One website I was reading said this was slated to be cheaper than the Index full kit which was $999, IIRC.

Hmm…I’ve never noticed much of a difference, even with hand tracking.

The only issues I’ve had between both in terms of tracking were related to controllers/hands going out of view of the camera.

If there was a difference, it was very minimal, at least for me.

That’s good to know about the bottom port. I like that Valve is somewhat future-proofing this right out of the box. I’ve been looking on Steam’s website about this but I can’t see that part. I am on mobile at the moment, so maybe it’s just not loading correctly for me. There’s some numbers on the headset that just aren’t showing up but are pointing to features on the outside of the headset.

That was my feeling too. That PS/Wii U scheme feels so uncomfortable to me. Like over-extending your left thumb which I use much more than my right thumb on the analog stick.

But I realized I’m semi used to it on my Steam Deck and it feels okay. If I could, I would switch it out, though.

Oh yeah, reading is crap on the Q3 for sure. I don’t remember ever trying on the Q2.

But just for walking around and seeing my surroundings, especially when the dogs or cat come around, was so much better in color, especially in lower lit areas. B&W was near impossible in low light.

Black and white pass through is crazy. I really hated that on my Quest 2 but was glad they made it color on the Quest 3. I can actually walk around my house in color and do things when I pause my games. I couldn’t do that as easily in black and white on the Quest 2.

Feels like there’s going to be a situation like the Steam Deck OLED but with color…? I think I’ll wait on that reason alone. And there will likely be other upgrades too in a refresh a year or two later.

I was planning on ditching my Quest 3 for this, but doesn’t sound like it. It’s for the best because I don’t want to shell that much on a new headset so soon anyway.

I’ve forced myself to go to the gym. I set a small goal of 30 minutes and stuck with it. Usually doing more, but there have been times where I have just done the bare minimum of 30 minutes and then left.

It’s something. But it is a chore after a long day.

It all looks pretty tasty. I’ve never seen eggs like that before but it sounds like something I’d like to try.

Hope your evening treats you better, OP.

My mind wants so badly to believe that top middle piece is artificial or was carved. It looks like a piece of an ancient pillar.

I can’t get enough of the desert that is Mars. My pareidolia goes nuts.

Yeah I experienced a lot of stuff that made me feel like HP really doesn’t want people installing another OS on their machines, as far back as the Windows 8 days, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some foolishness at play here. Weird stuff like not letting you properly boot from a USB drive.

Have you tried connecting to an external monitor or TV using HDMI or VGA? Have you looked up your specific model number and seen what buttons to press to bring up this menu? I’ve had success there before on this.

With Windows 10 installed, you can search for “UEFI” or “BIOS” and it will bring up an option that will aid you in booting to the UEFI/BIOS from Windows. That may be something to try here too and see if that gets the computer to boot into it and then you can possibly make changes to either make the system wait a few more seconds or show you the screen for the actual buttons to press for a future occurrence.

Think you meant “Arthur”, not “Archer”. I was confused for a minute lol.

It makes sense for scripting. You can build a process in a file to share among yourself and various devices or with friends to do a certain task on an automated basis.

Even on Windows this is useful to schedule a task in Task Scheduler.

Maybe every Monday, you want your computer to restart. A really quick and basic bash could be written to “shutdown /r /t 0” I can’t remember the exact command and then that file gets executed in Task Scheduler at the specific time you want.

There are other uses like having a file set to rename files. I do this often for my Plex server because I like a specific naming convention on multiple files and to do it quickly.

It’s nicer than GUI because everything can be laid out for you in a manual as to what you need as simple commands and much easier to guide someone because it’s not “click to the far right, no not the side of the screen, but slightly far right and then click this icon that looks like a pineapple but is actually a microphone and then click the icon…” Whereas a command line is just “type in shutdown and then enter y when prompted” and “these are all the available commands and what they do”.

I will say GUIs are nicer for hiding Easter eggs, but also a few devs seem to enjoy making useful features like Easter eggs where I am just now finding out that a button to the far left of the screen has existed and does this useful function. I don’t have that issue in command line tools that have even the most basic documentation.
