Figma balls

What’s figma?

Thank you! I’ll adapt to using kden, I appreciate it

Thanks for letting me know, I think that’s the best news I can get so I don’t go on a wild goose chase trying out random drivers with no success lol

It’s just an intel i7, there’s no dedicated GPU, no separate graphics card. The program doesn’t seem to recognize the CPU for an iGPU.

I went to post a comment on this Reddit thread but then my old man saw what I was doing and beat me with jumper cables.

Thank you! :]

Finally bit the bullet and got a Thinkpad and I’m leaning towards putting Fedora on it. I’ve never used Linux before but I’ve done some research and I like the idea of something that updates more often than Debian but isn’t as DIY as Arch. Do y’all think Fedora would make a good starting point? I hear it’s stable enough and offers enough non-free applications through the RPM file management system.

Also, are there any drawbacks in using the immutable Silverblue version? I’m considering it just so I don’t do anything dumb by accident.

For my parents, it meant putting up with me installing viruses as I tried to figure out how to play Minecraft free.

Thank you! :D

This. Physical media is awesome to own, and ripping extremely high-quality copies is actually pretty easy, just time-consuming.

I recommend EAC (Exact Audio Copy). It’s free and there are some awesome guides online for setting it to get the best quality for your rips.

That’s awesome! Now how can I add it to Libreoffice?

“Buy once cry once” seems to apply very well to wire cutters. (Link is to a YouTube video about how terrible most wire cutters actually are)

I originally came from Olights, I was a big fan of them. I never understood how people could complain about them until I finally had a flashlight with great CRI and tint. Also, the fact that these things use Anduril is incredible. After learning how to use Anduril 2.0, I hardly want to use any other flashlight!

Needless to say, I’m done with Olight. I’m actually looking to sell them away lol

The expensive one is the white-ish one all the way on the left! That one is made of titanium (with the exception of the copper head). All the other lights are made of aluminum. Also, the cerakote coating is special because it changes color with heat! At rest it’s a dark navy blue, but as it gets warmer it turns into the greyish white you see in the picture :)

The special thing about each of these lights is that they’re almost semi-custom made, you get to pick certain things such as the color and material of the body, the actual length of the battery tube for different types of cells, and most specifically the type of LED that gets put inside. They also use an open-source and insanely complicated user interface called Anduril 2.0.

The fancy colors you see the lights putting out in the image are just auxiliary LEDs that look pretty. You can change what color they’re producing or even have em do a little light show if you set them to do that.

There’s one guy who actually makes them, his name is Hank Wang. You can find his store at intl-outdoor.com. Considering the amount of customization that goes into these lights and the quality of the LEDs themselves, the value of them is actually rather amazing.

In this image you can see how the beams vary in color temperature across these lights.

$95 on a flashlight and then $50 to have it done with custom cerakote. To be fair, it’s a badass flashlight. Consequently, that led to the purchase of a few other flashlights with similar features but much cheaper and without the custom coatings.

See the attached image for more details and feel free to ask me any questions :P

I’ve not got the knowhow to do that. I’m also not in charge of the family router so I haven’t got the permissions to really manage my own server anyway. Someday I’ll have my own place and I’ll probably put something together but I’m pretty satisfied with Keepass :)

Bitwarden is great because they’re convenient. However, I figure that becoming self-reliant on maintaining my own password database wouldn’t be a bad idea. I believe storing everything locally gives me just a tad more security in case something were to happen with Bitwarden.

I wanted to try something new and I also figure it’s a bit more future-proof in case Bitwarden ever decides to change their pricing models such that the free tier loses any features.

I’m sure self-hosting your password manager gives you some awesome bonuses but I don’t have the knowhow nor do I have control over the family internet router so I don’t think I can work that out just yet.

Bitwarden is awesome! I used it for like three years, but I recently moved everything to Keepass. Only thing with Keepass is having to manage your own backups
