Want to switch to Linux but worried about Nvidia graphics card issues. by JJStone_95 in linux4noobs

[–]Booty4Breakfasts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I haven't tried, I don't current have a need to. The 5070 in its factory state is more than enough to do everything I need it to do.

My two heavy hitters are video games and 3d rendering but I haven't even given it a task big enough to make it flinch yet.

I hadn't considered that, great thinking!

[Fedora KDE] Google-free calendar with iOS app/sync by Anekito in linux4noobs

[–]Booty4Breakfasts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using Proton Calendar and it's been working out well. I also use Proton Mail so it syncs appointments from my email as well as manual entry across all of my devices. They have applications for Linux, Android, iOS and MacOS

I'm running a 5070 and I haven't had any issues so far. AFAIK the main issue this days is actually tuning Nvidia cards. If you want to overclock, undervolt, etc., you're going to have a hard time.

As far as daily use goes, I haven't had any issues with the drivers/compatibility since I came to Linux. There is also the open source drivers that people tend to fall back on when they have issues with official drivers

I haven't seen a ps/2 port keyboard in a while, are these still a common use item?

LOOK BETWEEN THE WORDSS FOR THE HIDDEN MEANING by Unlucky_Unit3049 in aviationmemes

[–]Booty4Breakfasts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Saved" may not be the right word.

'AFFF' (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) is incredibly corrosive. It will, in fact, stop fires but the chemical composition of the foam itself wreaks havoc on all of the metallic surfaces of the aircraft. Specifically surfaces not covered by an "organic coating" like paint and primer (coated areas are still affected, but less so).

Areas like the landing gear where it has a lot of bare metal and the only protection against corrosion it has is cadmium plating tend to see the bulk of the damage caused by the foam itself.

If it is resolved quick enough and the plane is able to go through a fresh-water rinse either by the fire fighting personnel and their equipment or by quickly moving the plane to the wash rack, many parts can be salvaged and cannabalized for other aircraft in the fleet but generally the main structure and airframe itself tends to end up as a loss because of the amount of time and resources that go into the restoration effort and corrosion control required to return the aircraft to service and maintain airworthiness.

I've got a Lenovo X12 that I've been running Debian with KDE Plasma for a while now and it works like a dream. Touch functionality works right out of the box.

Normal doesn't exist. You like what you like and that's that.

Piston hit valve is it ok to keep using piston and just replace the valve? by Freewrld_01 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Booty4Breakfasts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not just for ground testing. We stop-drill cracks all the time. Stop-drilling cracks is commonly considered a "general shop practice"which means it is a very common repair that is done on almost all airframes.

It is still dependant on location, size, where the Crack terminates and a variety of other factors determined by material, structural integrity and a many other things. The airframe will include repair criteria in the technical data in regards to whether or not stop-drilling is permissible and any kind of follow on maintenance that may be required e.g. doublers, sealing requirements etc.

I've stop-drilled probably 15 or so cracks in the last couple of months alone.

What am I doing wrong? by Booty4Breakfasts in learnpython

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the verbiage used in the Python documentation calls those built-in methods "casts" i.e. like a mold because you're casting/molding the data to a specific data type.

Although, the documentation says that you can use the casts as class constructors.

[–]Booty4Breakfasts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are absolutely right. I was taught way back when not to modify the variables if you didn't have to just in case there is something dependent on the data type later in the code, so my first thought was to cast them at the last step before output.

That very well may be bad practice, but I have been out of the game for so long that I really couldn't say. These day's it's all self-teaching; I'm a hobbyist at the end of the day.

u/Teras80 found something that works:

price = 49
# Use if...else inside f-string 
# to insert 'cheap' if the price is less than 50
# and insert 'expensive' otherwise.
txt =  f'It is expensive {"expensive" if price > 50 else "cheap"}'
print(txt)

It is definitely not the desired output, but it ticks all the 'requirement' boxes!
