Here's the ididathing video where they built and installed one of the ones from 3 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-pKKM6CXr0

The screenshot doesn't show any version change to signal - the version number is the same, so I was just answering why you might see an update like that since I thought that was part of your question.

Those might be flatpak "refreshes", which show up as "updating to the same version". As described by a flatpak maintainer, sometimes an app or runtime gets updated without changing the user-facing version number. I assume that's what you're seeing here.

WiFi 6 has been out for like 3 years now so unless you're on a budget it might make sense to just go for WiFi 7. Of course you'll need client devices to be 6 or 7 to take advantage but that's doable on the cheap for laptops with replaceable M.2 WiFi cards. I upgraded both my laptops to WiFi 7 when I replaced my 3 year old u6 pro with a u7 pro, so I can now get around a gig to my nas. The only thing is that 6ghz barely goes through a wall for me so I need to be in the same room unless I want to fall back to 5ghz but it's still nice to have when the situation calls for it. Plus if your phone isn't WiFi 6 already your next one will probably be 6 or 7, so when friends are over with their new phones and laptops they get a nice low-contention experience on my WiFi.

My main reason for staying on the bleeding edge is the airtime efficiency upgrades unique to WiFi 6 and 7 which makes a big difference in crowded apartment situations the more people move on from WiFi 5.

I'm gonna go with unlikely.

I have the dymo label maker 160, it doesn't have any DRM that I'm aware of (at least I used generic labels with no issue and it's easy to find compatible refills) and I like that it has a qwerty layout, since some annoyingly have an ABC layout which is a pain to use.

My only gripe is that it doesn't have a ton of symbols though it has a decent selection, and even though the text can go small enough for like 3 lines it only lets you do 2 lines on top of each other. Also all non alphanumeric (apostrophes, parentheses, etc) are in the symbol menu instead of having dedicated keys but that's not terrible.

It's also only ~$30 which is really reasonable, I've gotten a ton of use out of mine.

Even better is your monthly streaming bill being $10 in electricity and a $5 VPN subscription (if you're in a country where your ISP sends angry letters and you don't opt for Usenet instead)

My gaming PC is sticking with 10 for the foreseeable future, it's my only windows machine and that's because it's a beatsaber and fusion360 machine and I don't want to be bothered with fixing something when I want to get a workout session in or need to urgently design a part.

P.S. if anyone knows how to get fusion working in wine I'm all ears

I don't remember actually but I checked the file metadata and I have the template in my downloads folder next to this which has an exif tag of 2 minutes later with gimp metadata so I'm pretty sure I must have made it, which makes it a bit more impressive since I probably just sent it to friends privately and didn't post it anywhere it could have been scraped for training.

Huh, I already signed up for it because they started requiring it a while back to access historical tax return documents through the IRS website.

I'm curious if it could solve the traffic light and crosswalk ones, I would try but I'm out of free image uploads from asking it to explain memes to test its cultural knowledge.

Not unless the game has an offline mode and you download the depot files and bundle it with a nosteam launcher then leave that to your next of kin.
