I think the screws are supposed to be “captive”, they unscrew from the bosses but still stay with the lid so you don’t lose em.

You might want to go through the trouble of extending that radiator loop all the way out through a window.

Likewise. I also have a glut of really cool new indie games from the last couple of months to catch up on.

How many engineers can Canonical yeet now that they can skip on testing and backporting fixes to their own stable kernel?

Are they also going to tell Joe average user to just submit any bugs to LKML?

Oof, that is a low blow

ExFAT is the LCD filesystem for flash sticks. FAT32 is the filesystem that you have to use for devices designed back when Microsoft was awful about Exfat licensing.

Everywhere else, Btrfs. If Oracle didn't poison-pill ZFS licensing and it was common on Linux, I would be using that instead. Basically, taking it on faith that a drive didn't fuck up your data is crazy. The most basic responsibility for a filesystem should be ensuring that "the files come out exactly the same as when they went in".

By default, windows does "Fast Boot" which doesn't make booting any faster, but does have the benefit of leaving the volume in a mounted state when you shut it down.

Oof, that sounds like an appimage alright.

If you haven't seen the first one, I can't imagine what sidereochronological phenomenon you've been lost in for the last decade and a half. It's a bridge-building game, but the bridge is made out of nodes of goo. The goo is both cute and not an ideal construction material.

If Apple would stop breaking game APIs for a second, then yes

Yeah, the problem is that there is a well-set standard for VRR on a regular DP connection, there's a so-so standard for VRR on HDMI, but there isn't a good standard for communicating VRR through an internal connection. The market is at a standstill with not enough tablet vendors asking for VRR, and neither the SoC vendors or the panel vendors want to be the first one to build only half of the solution. Apple or Samsung could build a full solution on their own and jumpstart that market, but can't be arsed.

JNot sure if the flash is "gone", the drive does still believe it has 256GB. I have seen drives die to where they completely forget their identity and are now "Phison controller with 32KB storage". All they have left is either some absurd concept of falling back to using the controller's on-die EEPROM, or they're telling you they have the smallest possible CHS size that isn't 0 just as a courtesy.

But yeah, the drive does look too mentally broken to continue.
