Same, not interested in some video. I had an Onkyo receiver that had bad caps. I ended up just buying a new one.

ROFL, he may whine about it but he could really give a shit about his companies. He's 2nd in command of Trump's coming dictatorship and given Trump's age soon to be number one... (Sorry J.D.V.)

US steel and iron industry not benefiting from tariffs. Relevant to tariff war on Canada in c/canada@lemmy.ca

From the land of duh... In the entire history of tariffs they have NEVER worked for their intended purpose.

Online Wars Aside, 'Snow White' Simply Isn't Getting Moviegoers to Buy In in c/movies@lemm.ee

I don't know if that is accurate. "Hollywood" is famous for its accounting games. Many films are unprofitable for the tax breaks. The money is moved around to other entities the company owns.

Amanda Seyfried Rejected Gamora Offer Over Marvel Flop Fears in c/movies

That is a VERY naive take. A movie can make or break an actor/actress's career.

That is pocket change for Apple. They have so much money they literally don't know what to do with it.

Dictatorships don't need such things, and Elon is the heir apparent to Trump...

Stonehenge isn't the oldest monument of its kind in England, study reveals in c/europe@feddit.org

Funny you mention that, at one point they were trying to build a highway next to it...

Momentum in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

[–] Crashumbc 11 points 20 hours ago

Reagan started it, but Trump intends to finish it, and turn the US into a full dictatorship. There is a very real possibility of no elections in 2028...

Hear me now believe me later, he has already chosen his successor in Elon Muck...

Today on Me or Linux? (self.linux)

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???

MSI gaming laptop questions (self.linux)

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.

This community shows 14k users, but sorting by new shows lastest post 2 months old?
