I use a bred knife to slice cheese off a block every day. Line it up and push down, one hand on handel the other on the spine at the top. It works better than any other knife to slice cheese blocks.
This post makes it sounds like I am committing a war crime.
You either die hero or live long enough to become sleepy Joe.
Thanks I'll look out for this when I re-watch this show again. So much thought behind all the details
Not sure that's 100% true anymore. It's not uncommon for people to go years without interacting with a windows PC, most will just use their mobile instead. When I say interacting I am not talking about using a self check at a grocery store running an app in kiosk mode, I mean startup, shutdown, update, install apps and use them.
I friend asked me for a laptop last year and had not used one for 8 years since his previous job. Even then his previous job was as a traidy and he only used it for generating invoices. I am sure their would be an app/service for that now.
Windows is in decline mainly because desktop and laptops are irrelevant for large swaths of the general population.
Provided the OS does not get in the way of what people are trying to accomplish (mainly accessing the web browser) it does not matter anymore.
Most people normal people now days need a web browser and LibreOffice (or google docs variant). Pair that with Bazzite or other "ready to go" OS that comes pre installed with multimedia codecs, navidia drivers, a mobile like app store, a mobile like DE and it can be that simple.
That was a good read, thanks.
Sorry for the delay, two kids with gastro :$
I cheeted, I used my partners Win11 desktop, installed the XBox accessorys app, update completed in about 4 minutes. I have had success with windows based firmware update tools using wine in the past; with a lot of troubleahooting. Her PC is 2 meters from me and it was done in 4 mintes.... Yes I feel dirty, but it's a one-off firmware update. Pick your battles.
I have been running Bazzite on my TV for a few weeks. Was using PopOs however I was having issues with some games not launching, probably to do with the combination of Unraid VM, GPU passthrough, Xorg with fractional scaling on a 4k pannel. Bazzite with "Game mode" is amazing. Closest thing to Steam OS that I know about. Everything just worked with the exception of needing to firmware update my xbox controller to get it to work. Game mode seems to report as a steam deck.
I am Australian. Yes, "suggested apps" masquerading as installed apps. Most if them shitty micro transaction games and adobe software. This is not preloaded software, I used to fresh install Windows on all my systems to get rid of that crud.
The final straw was when win10 started putting ads in the start menu. The start menu is so broken and bloated....
The agle of the ors at a glance makes them look like spears.
Cool, thought for a long time there it was just an artistic liberty; but this is much cooler.
The point of the film is to show how horrible war is in a context Americans can relate to. If they made a more realistic alliance, down some sort of real life right / left politics the message would be lost and it would be held up as some sort of propaganda film by one side of politics with the other side using it to justify why they're correct.
So, yes the "alliance between the California and Texas" is a very deliberate choice.
