I don’t think pihole works against YouTube ads unfortunately

I don’t mind the idea of seeing the same user around. Feels more community centered

I’ve always been a power user but never minded Windows until W11. Luckily WSL was a great gateway drug for me and I ended up switching to Linux full-time after living inside WSL for a few weeks.

Interesting. Before I got my license, I was really worried I would have trouble focusing on driving. As it turns out for me I love doing it and actually seek it out. I kinda hyperfocus when I do it so I’m able to keep going for hours.

If anything, I feel refreshed after a nice drive. That said, if it’s straight highway for hours it’s a different story. I’ll need to rest after a long road trip. Especially if it was understimulating.

Ah. Maybe that’s the case. I meant I’m running Windows 11 on Linux using QEMU for gaming.

I’m actually running Windows 11 on QEMU and passing my GPU through to it. Runs VR games perfectly

I think the VM support is better on Windows 11. I tested gaming on both 10 and 11 on my Linux install and 11 performed better. Otherwise, agreed 11 is a downgrade

I suppose that’s one thing my 2008 shitbox has going for it… Seems like every product is moving towards the advertising mindset

Anything you interact with on a daily basis. Keyboard, mouse, desk, monitor… If you’re going to be spending a couple hours a day at it why not treat yourself?

The don’t care about innovation, they care about profits.

Ok. Not like they haven’t done the same lol

Ideally. Depends on the update time too. I know flashing ECU tunes requires a battery topper. I’ve also killed a car battery modding my infotainments firmware so it’s totally possible. But most likely Subaru is doing it out of an abundance of caution… Don’t want an angry customer coming saying the update killed their battery

It’s because they don’t want the car battery running flat during installation. Kind of like how your phone requires a minimum battery charge to update

Oh, that’s a good point! I’ve had the same mechanical pencil for the past four years.

Huh, that’s neat. Alleviates the need for MUX switch it seems.

That’s awesome

Nice! My '08 Mazda6 has 166k, I’m hoping to break the 200k barrier myself

Nice! How many miles?

The black spots are from the OLED panel being cracked. This is a lot better than earlier OLEDs that would completely die if cracked
