Yeah I don’t know as far as the coating is concerned. I have personally had great luck with Asus products, but even by manufacturer I feel like there’s hits and misses as far as build quality. Wish you luck in your hunt.

There’s SO much more going for thinkpads than just the trackpoint. I would count durability as the highest point on the list, beyond the rubberized coating, the frame, the hinges, the serviceability (even in newer models with part of the RAM soldered) far exceeds most other offerings.

I dont currently own because I have a desktop that meets all of my needs, and my partner has a MacBook that I can use when a laptop is helpful. But if I was planning to buy a laptop, maybe as something to take out of town for work, it would likely be a thinkpad.

Yep. Two solid years of steady gaming on various Linux distributions. No issues aside from no more pubg, no more valorant. Oh wait, that’s not an issue at all. Fuck their rootkits.

Yeah, I agree with the other guy. These so little firearms related content here that I’m convinced your black powder community would never see a post that wasn’t your own post. I wish there was a stronger gun community here but I don’t think enough of us have been drawn into lemmy.

I don’t know of any made in Canada, and Japan seems to be where the best brands come from. But that said, most models, from the cheap single function ones, to models with headed water, heated drying, moving sprayer, self cleaning and heated seat are usually just a toilet seat unit.

You could easily install them in an apartment, you just connect its plumbing connector in between your existing toilet water line and the toilet tank’s hook up. A little plumbers tape on the threads can help prevent any leaks. Then you just remove the existing toilet seat and slap the bidet seat on. Time to move out? Switch the seats back, clean it and bag it and take it to your next home. Super easy, install videos on YouTube, only tool that you might need is a simple pair of channel lock pliers. That you can probably get for like $12

I would just start searching online for best bidet seats and see what models fit your price range and choose based on what countries you want to support the economy of.

Hope that helps, we love our bidet (Alpha UX Pearl) and love to see people discover them.

I think it’s pretty fucking obvious what their problem is. They don’t want the newfound visibility that trans people have gained over the last few years to present a visible option for their kids and grandkids. They didn’t care about trans people years ago because they were largely in the shadows. Now that the language and culture around trans people is becoming visible to the average American, it has become the perfect shibboleth for the right wing to rally around no different than when the Christian right pulled abortion out of thin air as a rallying point to drive right wing voters. Don’t want your daughter to embarrass the fuck out of you at social functions when they introduce themselves as Xe/Xer/Xim? Vote Republican. That’s the point of the manufactured outrage. A way to drive funding and votes for fascism. And it worked. Trans visibility is the golden egg dropped in trumps lap that put him back in office.

This isn’t just mindless theorizing. I work with these right wing jackasses. It’s all they talk about.

Steam doesn’t set up any additional software repos. It installs proton within its own framework and that’s about it. I think you think you know more than you actually know.

I guess you’ll just have to make your own game and play it by yourself bud.

Sounds like you’re new to Linux and having Debian teething issues. Debian, for all of its standout qualities, is not a distribution I’d consider beginner friendly. An option like Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian) is going to be way easier out of the box and requires basically zero configuration aside from setting up Nvidia drivers if you have an Nvidia GPU?

Why did you need i386 support? What are your hardware specs? i386 support is being phased out, and while Debian will likely be one of the last holdouts for support it likely won’t support it for much longer.

And who’s to say Epstein is the only agent that compromised wide swaths of our elite with evidence of them all diddling kids. He’s just the one we know about.

Right on. That’s cool. I guess just don’t expect big uplifts in performance on every game then. But at least you’re not playing on spyware.

Linux isn’t going to magically make your hardware better. Occasionally there are mild FPS gains or losses from one OS to the next but it’s not going to be a game changer in performance.

I have put about 700 hours into CS2, on Linux, various distros, (Mint, Pop_os, EndeavourOS, Fedora Workstation, Nobara, MXLinux, you name it) with both an older Nvidia 2080 powered laptop, and my current AMD RX 7800xt desktop, and have never, ever had issues running CS2.

If you’re having issues, you might need to retrace your steps and figure out what you’re doing wrong, because I’ve found there are very few games that run better in Linux than CS2.
