I think they could've done so much more with this show - but it was pretty fun to watch nonetheless. Nothing resolved with the bad guys, when there could've been an entire episode on the post flight situation.

I'm finding the sync experience far nicer than Jerboa so far, not surprised. Jerboa fails to load comments half the time and I get errors constantly that stop content refreshes.

What about with a laptop where you can't disable secure boot? Ubuntu works with it ootb, very few other distros do.

You guys are getting payrises?

It's strange - in the UK we're usually getting toasty this time of year too, but we've had unusually mild weather despite many other parts of the world experiencing record temperatures. Feels like the mildest summer we've had in about 10 years.

I've had horrible luck with OpenRGB on Linux. On Windows it recognises my RAM, M/B, GPU with no issues, I can change colour, brightness, patterns etc. - but on Linux? Nothing, apart from some broken GPU recognition that only lets me change colour at almost 0 brightness.

Still, I'd love to see this improve as using the ASUS armour software on windows made me want to become Amish.

I just bought one of those 8bitdo usb adaptors - it works perfectly with Xbox one controllers etc

As a petrol head, that is a very convincing argument to move.

Ha, I’m aware it was stating the obvious, but I never found vim difficult in the beginning either. I was given a “linux cheat sheet” and then told to bugger off and do stuff… vim took maybe 15-20 mins before I was comfortable.

The hardest part was learning how my company’s ancient software worked honestly, which even after six years there was still intimidating and baffling at times.

I've used vim for so many years now that it blows my mind when people act like it's difficult to use.

The same thing with installing Arch and even Gentoo .. if you've got good experience with something like redhat/centos and can read documentation it's a breeze.

I'm calling it, the hijackers are being blackmailed, possibly by the other guy who was done for tax fraud who keeps being subtly shown.

The black hijacker dude reacted in an interesting way when the passenger behind him commented saying 'they're scared just like we are'.

There hasn't been any motive shown by any of the hijackers, which makes me think they don't want people to know their real motives. Reminds me of a certain black mirror episode...

I'm the same - I remember it quite well so may just go without seeing the first part again beforehand.

I saw it in a normal cinema, then literally the next day booked it in isense (like imax). Most people don't have the money to pay for a decent Atmos setup so only get to experience it in the best cinemas on occasion. Dune was so worth it.
