After what feels like 100 tries Rellana is down. With 1hp to spare 😳

Yeah, I said they’re “useless as is”, because they’re running an outdated OS, have internet explorer on them, etc. the hardware is obviously far from useless but getting it to a good place in terms of user experience for a younger audience will involve a time investment. So yes, useless as is.

This is a good idea honestly, I’ll consider it!

Oh for sure, it’s just explaining that to boomer management that’s tough

Yeah, securing them might be the biggest challenge tbh. I work full-time at the school and won’t really have time to provide tech support. The windows machines are ‘managed’ by a third-party IT solutions company, but like I said they’re mostly useless at this point and are rarely turned on anymore.

Students don’t have user accounts so a generic log in could work. could see the school not allowing a Linux install without some sort of management/tech support procedure in place though. Security is probably the biggest hurdle to clear but I guess if we’re paying an IT company to manage window machines I don’t see why they couldn’t support Linux too, unless they’re unfamiliar with the OS :(

Hi all, the private school I work at has a tonne of old windows 7/8 era desktops in a student library. The place really needs upgrades but they never seem to prioritise replacing these machines. Ive installed Linux on some older laptops of mine and was wondering if you all think it would be worth throwing a light Linux distro on the machines and making them somewhat usable for a web browsing experience for students? They’re useless as is, running ancient windows OS’s. We’re talking pre-7th gen i5’s and in some cases pentium machines here.

Might be pointless but wonder what you guys think?

Corporate musicians still suck

I don’t know what to say to someone who doesn’t feel like totk was enough of an innovation but to each their own.

I’m inclined to trust the man who has overseen two masterpieces back-to-back in botw and totk.

My 3 years ended a few months ago. I didn’t renew at the time because TOTK was releasing and then the conversion deal ended so I decided to do without it. I haven’t missed it. It’s a great service and definitely good value but I have lots of games in my backlog and not much time to play nowadays anyway. I think buying one game I really want to play at a time has been more enjoyable for me personally.

How does this help them beat a team as well-rounded as Denver? Beal’s contract could become a real albatross for the Suns.

6 man like…

Beal in Miami would be interesting. I don’t need to see KD and Book getting star reinforcements, just win it with role players, stop looking for shortcuts.

Not a deal breaker for this kind of game but a 60fps performance mode on series x at 1080p would’ve been a nice option.

Playing TOTK right now on switch and it really proves how great games can overcome technical limitation. A masterpiece at 30fps is still a masterpiece. Here’s hoping Starfield can deliver as a great game first and foremost.
