Those signs are also there to allow companies to test if they hit a problem employee not keeping their shit under control.

You "won" the lotto, good for you?

For what it ACTUALLY pays and how long it lasts, it is extremely expensive. Most people it is good for 3-4 months and that's only if they don't put ANYTHING down. Trade in a car? Put money down? GAP is useless.

And every month you go without totaling your car it is worth much less.

And if a car/truck depreciates enough driving off the lot for GAP to make sense. You're paying too much for new and should buy used if you want that particular model.

Gap insurance is a scam in "most" instances. But dropping 100+k driving off the lot... Wait no it's still a scam, he's is just a fucking idiot for buying it in the first place ..

I find it amussing that tech bros think the average home user will care.... They'll keep using Win 10 like nothing has changed. I knew people still happily using XP in 2014...

As much as I love the fediverse, its control structures can't scale. If it ever became truly popular, bad actors would overwhelm it almost immediately.

There are a few places in the US that put spaghetti on pizza.... Yeah tried it, yeah it's nasty.

So I reloaded my 12 yr old laptop dual boot with win10 and Linux.

Win 10 no problems also installed World of Warcraft and copied over the mod folders from my main PC.

Linux- 2 distros failed to install, a third wouldn't create a usb bootable iso. Finally got Bazzite with Gnome to install and started to play around. Used the built "lutris"? to instal battlenet and then installed wow using the defaults. YaY! it seemed to work fine!

But... Trying copy over my mods from a FAT32 usb stick (linux reconginze the stick fine, but gives no indication that its a USB stick?)... COPY/PASTE doesn't work! wth. You have to use "Copy..to" ok learning curve on my part.

Now the real issue, using the defaults it installed WoW in "Os install" folder under games, took me a minute to find no problem. "Destination read only" WTF.... How do I get around this and why would Linux install a game in a read only directory???

 

I'm thinking about putting Linux on my MSI laptop.

First how does Linux handle 2 video cards. CPU Intel and a discrete Nvidia 970...

Can Linux work the light up keyboard? ( I game in the dark lot.

External monitor hooked to the display port?

Last what would be the best noob friendly distro to use. Haven't played with Linux in 10 years and really don't have time to tinker now

 

Is there anyway to "upscale" old 640-480 games?

Right now you either get a tiny box you can't see or a pixelated mess.

Did folks just move on? Or is there another community people are using?
