      Nice one, the Wikipedia article on GladOS never got to GA, but they did manage to pull the Botticelli source from this book.
      Ever play Portal – Wolpaw was great wasn’t he, also missed out on Pyschonauts as well. ๐Ÿ™
      Just love the crumbs – is that what you call them?

      One of the links on his site has been updated to this, very interesting lead blog feature on Musk et al, and the Zen lexicon, yeah!

        That Jack Frost fella looks scary. Yeah, lets get all a gush with Kill Bill, anything with Sly, Van Damme or Segal. These days, John Wick has the wherewithal to address many issues. ๐Ÿ˜›

        Subscribed to the Cult Cinema Classics channel, they want $6.99 bucks a month to join it though. What’s the benefit of that other than no ads?

        Have you seen The Cosmic Man?

            Good luck with the X-Fi, dug up a four year old post with driver problems.
            Driver problems with VR known at AMD and Reddit. No issue without the VR headset then?
            As a matter of interest, tried more than one monitor yet? There’s a few issues with PrgLnch & W11, we’ll get to them. ๐Ÿ™‚

              Were you almost sold with Eve – or do we wish for a tutorial on how to survive stuff on a shoestring budget?

                Fantastic!
                Wikipedia has a fiery talk page about FlatPak, do you think the article says it all? The Synaptic talk page is much more demure. ๐Ÿ™‚

                    Fabulous, definitely like some of that over with warm garlic/onion/herb bread to help it down. Groucho’s Note: Beware that too much duck broth means duck breath!

                        Do you run a browser through Linux/POP? What do you do for security/firewall – put stuff in the hosts file or something else like uBlock Origin?
                        Does the H/W logging in Linux provide any other benefits from Windows, are the logs catch-all and easy to analyse?
                        A UPS is important addition, sudden power offs will cause data corruption, just find one that can keep the system up for 10-15 minutes max.

                              I’d start off with Fritz, they have a good bunch of tutorials to get started with, and the pages are nicely put together, and things are well explained. The others are great as well, the GEDA is really impressive.

                                It’s going back to the day of signup to SO (March 2013) when it copied over the Gravatar profile as it were. Cannot recall using Gravatar before then, must have done it through some WP website then.
                                There’s an AutoHotkey for X11 based on the earliest AHK V1 (2004). It seems Windows has changed so much, it would be a gargantuan effort to make a Linux AHK with the same capabilities of the latest AHK V1 or V2.
                                Should they be PM’d regarding the issue?

                                  Certainly! Just “zhuzhed up” the old AL lab article a little, without doing too much yet. It would be wonderful if you could try it out on the Linux build for comparison, and of course, the building of your own family tree! ๐Ÿ™‚

                                    Have you tried Virtual Desktop or Oculus Link on Windows yet? Like to know the difference to NMS.
                                    Funny, the noise from the fans always seem loud to begin with, but like tinnitus, it eventually fades to white noise. As long as they don’t develop a nasty squeak, like the Mistral fan used downstairs here in summer. ๐Ÿ˜›

                                      Does the daughter board go in one of the PCI slots?
                                      Two speakers are usually enough unless it’s a large room- sounds as if you are accustomed to the quad setup from the old system, they would be necessary for VR no doubt.

                                        Ah yes, done in the days when Harvey Weinstein was “young and innocent, so it’s on the fav. list. Rick Wakeman’s music another plus:

                                        Almost to the end of episode 1 of Vagrant Queen, but no, although it’s bright and snappy, there’s that deja vous feeling of been there before, the dialogue perhaps the main culprit. Take me back to early teens, will definitely complete it! ๐Ÿ™‚
                                        The critics were right about Fallen, so much could have been done to make it more entertaining; “beloved cult classic” doesn’t quite cut it, thus recommended for a high spot in the “not to watch” list. ๐Ÿ˜›

                                          Just curious, in the light of this rather old question, how customizable will the dual boot OS choice look after it has been tweaked to state of usability?
                                          Interesting about the fans, if not through the motherboard, are they connected through a port or something else?
                                          Yeah, forgot about the sound, so their motherboard doesn’t have a slot for a soundcard then?

                                            The only way to login to Gravatar these days is to have your email “associated” with WordPress.com. Something must have changed since the last time I logged into Gravatar, for it was a long time ago, and there is no record (or memory) of any WordPress.com account on the books here. So, logging in the your email address, there is no password prompt, but an email sent from WordPress.com entitled Log in to WordPress.com and containing a jump link to log in, along with the obligatory link timeout warning. Clicking the link, and voila, the user is logged in, with no password verification prompting at all.
                                            But, they must have a password of mine on record, because there exists a reset password link page. Hope of all hopes it will not, as is can be the case, be requiring the old password in order to change it. ๐Ÿ˜›
