I don’t see why everyone hates this. It’s disabled by default and you don’t have to use it. I use Linux but thank god someone’s actually trying to make operating systems interesting again, nobody else has done anything interesting in years.

What was wrong with Joplin? I was thinking about giving it a try.

VPNs are banned in Russia to make sure they don’t accidentally get inaccurate information about the special military operation.

And it was the OS that introduced UAC. Vista took a bullet for 7.

$400,000 isn’t even that much for a company like this, it might’ve cost that much just trying to fight this.

I remember defending it online against a bunch of Linux users and I got told that the UAC prompt is overbearing while having to type your password is fine because it’s just “muscle memory”.

There’s various contractual reasons they may say this but ultimately they probably can’t tell. Those terms and conditions don’t count for anything and can’t be enforced because no reasonable reads them. I’d just go ahead with using your router and wait for somebody to say something (feign ignorance).

Someone will probably shoot me down for this but I actually find ChatGPT good for explaining concepts to me. Especially when I just want a high level understanding of a concept as I try to understand another one without getting too bogged down. A lot of Google results go into way too much detail.

Most of the time a company does something like this they would just let it die. It’s good that Microsoft have at least made the effort to hand it over to a team who’s willing to keep it going.

I hate Windows for all the monetisation and privacy issues but I never really had problems with it killing my computer.

Thanks, I appreciate the reply and I read all of it. I do understand that nVidia are a bunch of fuckers and I’ll be looking elsewhere in the future but I simply needed CUDA at the time of buying. I took another look at my mobo and it only has one full sized PCI slot and it’s obviously got my nVidia card in it right now. Buying a new GPU plus mobo is simply too much when I can just dual-boot into Windows for now. I was planning on keeping Windows around for the sake of random bits of software I need and so my wife can occasionally use my computer (she won’t want to learn Linux). I’m not a serious gamer or anything, I’ll just have to live with it.

Using a guide I read, done through the terminal. That’s all I remember. How could I tell if I’m using Nouveau?

Are the built-in drivers somehow different to the ones you download?

Nonetheless getting a new graphics card is kind of the nuclear option. Would it actually help that much. DEATHLOOP would still crash surely?

It does actually only have two slots, and the other one can’t fit anything because the 2060 is too big.

edit: Correction, I only have one full sized slot.

This can’t feasibly be done over the internet. An IP address must be unique as that’s how it finds it out of billions of other devices. There are situations where the same IP can route to different locations but that’s regional and way beyond what you’re trying to achieve here. It’s how something like 8.8.8.8 works without sending all the requests to a single location.

If your server is sending out traffic as 1.2.3.4 and then tries to send the encrypted traffic to the client at 1.2.3.4 the traffic would either be routed back to itself or the client would receive the plaintext traffic meant for the server.
