Seems like 2 was the asshole here. 1 was waiting for 3, and 2 likely wasn't paying attention.

Dang.

Pop is nice when it works correctly, but I usually have fewer issues with Kubuntu. If you're still not able to get it going, I'd recommend going the Kubuntu route for a potentially easier time.

I've ran into this issue myself in the past, too. BIOS updates and disabling Secure Boot have been the primary things that have fixed it for me when I run into them.

"Pretty whelming" is accurate. That show had so much potential and the writers just fumbled it from basically the very beginning.

Physics says both use the same amount, just one is spread out more and the other is all at once. I don't have the formula, but basically it takes the same overall effort to stop an object regardless of if it's slowly or very fast.

In my experience, no. There are studies that have shown Fish Oil and Magnesium to slightly improve some memory functions over time, but caffeine or actual prescribed meds from a doctor have been quicker and had better results.

At least for the ADHD, I haven't found anything for the autism front.

I've started having issues recently, too. After a work injury, I finally saw my GP, who recommended Physical Therapy, which has basically just been a guided workout with some yoga moves worked in over the course of an hour.

It hasn't fixed my pain yet, but it's made it better, and my pain was explained in a way that makes sense (my shoulders and core weren't as strong as they should have been, placing undue burden on some of my backmuscles).

If you don't want to go to PT, I'd strongly recommend just slowly doing 10-15 minutes of simple stretching like what you might have done in Gym as a kid. Stretch to the point of mild discomfort, not pain, doing each stretch 3 tines for 10 seconds. It might be worth looking into some basic yoga poses that target your particular pains (or the ones that you want to target first).

I'll bet you'll notice good results after a week. If not, definitely go see your GP again.

Obligatory "I am not a doctor"

If I'm honest, video games and computers in general. The community has some to do with it, I guess, but more because the people making them just seem to not care about the customers at all anymore.

If I had to put my feeling into words, its that they try to make things at the smallest possible cost with the highest return possible, including throwing ads into everything (making for a poorer experience for the users), while simultaneously making everything bland so they can appeal to everyone.

Ten years ago, I loved video games, and now the only "next-gen" console I have is a Switch and a Steam Deck. I used to be a huge Windows fan, but now I can hardly stomach Windows 11, and run Linux exclusively as much as possible.

Big tech ruined tech. Big video games ruined video games.

Because all the cool people are too busy homebrewing tabletop RPGs instead.

Phones are generally seen as more secure because they're less likely to have malware and the apps should be running in their own sandbox, meaning it's more difficult to see what each app is doing and so theoretically it's more secure.

Most desktop operating systems do not have sandboxing in place, have known malware that could be installed much easier than on a phone, and harder to verify that the system is secure. This is doubly so taking into account that basically the only way to use the banking information is through a web browser, which could have any number of junky web extensions installed.

While things are incrementally changing on the desktop front (mostly on Linux with Atomic distros, Flatpak/Snap, and Firefox container tabs), most banks are only familiar with Windows and macos, and since those two have the most security risks, they'd rather play it safe with the relatively more standardized, theoretically more secure phone OS.

You definitely want a mid size case if you're going to move it around. I got a full size with my first build and while it is nice and roomy, it's never fun to move when needed.

The case you have in your list has your 2.5" SSD storage in the back and PSU under an aluminum bar at the bottom. Everything else will mostly likely be easily accessible, but if you ever need to do PSU/SSD changes, it won't be as easy as everything else.

Otherwise, I really like Corsair cases, they've never done me wrong.

To this day,I'll walk up to people and just ask "What's the story, Wishbone?"

My other alternative is "What's the Sitch?"
