About to head off to work but I think Netgear make one, but it’s like 6-7x more expensive. And it’s probably made in China anyway.

It’s an Archer T3U, which uses a Realtek chipset. I was living in Africa at the time I bought it and you don’t get much choice when it comes to electronics. I heard of a guy who had to travel to Spain to get a USB mouse. Anyway, the problem is that I’m actually trying to install it on a Beaglebone Black which is stuck on the 5.10 LTS kernel. The chipset is actually supported in the latest kernel, but the BB version hasn’t been released yet.

Not predicted to win by a reliable margin though, it could go either way. I did read that Harris is scoring better with the demographics that are more likely to vote though.

I’ve never even seen a cockroach in the UK, I didn’t realise they were a thing here.

I spent today trying to install a USB WiFi dongle in Debian. On Windows it took about 5 seconds, I still haven’t got it working on Debian.

The countries that opposed it were the European Union, Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Norway and Switzerland. I feel that these countries are not notorious for causing environmental destruction so I’d be interested in hearing their side of the argument. It just says in the article that they didn’t think it would help raise more money and would make things more complicated.

If you’re running on Linux then installing the .NET for Linux won’t do anything because it’s looking for it within the Wine emulation layer, so it actually does need the Windows version and it should install because it should all be emulated. Install Protontricks and see if there’s anything you can do with that, I haven’t used it much by I think it has tools to install stuff like this.

TIL that in American liquorice is called licorice.

Black liquorice is great, damn kids just want to eat a bowl of sugar nowadays.

There are others that aren’t Chinese but nothing anywhere near the price bracket you’ll get from GL.Inet. I wouldn’t trust them either, I’d just take the hit and lose the app. Since it’s OpenWRT I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an alternative to the apps. Flashing standard OpenWRT to them is really easy, you just download it from the site and flash through the firmware upgrade option, no dramas. Many VPNs will have instructions on how to set up their service on OpenWRT.

“I look forward to attending the coming inauguration and cheering on my successor. He will enjoy my support.”

Some people could learn from him.

I’m avoiding reading this thread as I don’t want spoilers but I didn’t really enjoy the first one that much and dropped out before finishing. I hear a lot about 2 though, is it worth playing the first one in order to play 2?
