For me it's Zombie Panic Source, but I'd love to hear others.

Wipe is not an option, don't read further if you plan on suggesting it.

I don't necessarily think I'll get help here, but I love Lemmy and it constantly surprises me, so I'll shoot my shot.

The other day I downloaded and installed driver updates for my motherboard and then a BIOS update as well. I'm paranoid about stuff so even though I'm experienced with this stuff for the most part I still followed the instructions step by step to a T and made sure it was for my correct motherboard.

After rebooting my internet wasn't working so I checked device manager and it was showing an error for my network adapter which along with other drivers was among the updates. So I tried various things with that for hours and never made any headway. Internet over bluetooth doesn't seem to want to work or be detected, my phone won't tether Internet over USB correctly either or it's not being detected by the PC. So I ordered both a PCIe LAN card and a PCIe WiFi card. The lan card uses the same drivers apparently and so it's just an additional error'd out Realtek Family Whatever Whatever; the Wi-Fi card doesn't appear at all. Both the lans do light up during booting and in BIOS but shut down once Windows loads it's drivers.

I've rolled back my system as far as I can which unfortunately do to trying to many other things before the rollback I could only go back to installing one of the first drivers. I've tried different drivers and different BIOS. I've run SFC but it required Internet for some files, DISM requires Internet or a install image but I don't have one and don't have room on my phone to download one. I've tried in safe mode and I've probably tried 30 other things to no avail that escape my mind right now.

Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Let's keep it light-hearted. For me I've seemed to notice way more conservatives back their cars into spaces than their liberal counter parts.

For example, if I type out a sentence and decide I want to add asterisks around a word for emphasis, why does Gboard replace the space between the previous word and the emphasized word instead of just adding the new character? Is this added functionality for something I just don't understand?

Edit: I believe I have fixed the issue by disabling the "Smart Compose" option.

I'm using Windows and only asking here because Google says it's a Linux thing, but my question is what is a Bluez and why was it trying to connect to my computer at 5AM this morning?

Feels like all of a sudden every thread I open has the worst takes in the comments: religious apologists, conservative propagandists, people defending the worst abuses of power, people stanning for CEOs, middle managers and other corporate ghouls, people defending shitty landlords, etc.

Is this Reddit now? Is this going to be the death of Lemmy as a bastion of progressives?

I'm not a fan.

I played Dragons Quest Tactics on and off for about a year but I never thought it was very good at all and there were a lot of annoying aspects I hated, recently the game decided to delete all my progress and characters so I'm done with it for good. Is there anything actually fun to play on Android in the same vein?

Aside from Egg, I can't afford a controller.

Years ago I used NewPipe but when I wanted a little more from my app I switched the ReVanced until it started giving me more and more issues. For the past 3 months or so I've been using a cracked Youtube Premium app, but now it's dropping every video after about a minute. So what's everyone using these days to avoid all of Google's bullshit but still watch Youtube content?

It's so beautiful I might cry.

After all I've seen and all these years, I'm feeling pretty foolish. I put a lot of my livelihood into this and it has gone nowhere but down. I feel like the biggest joke of a person for believing in any of this for this long.
