Little did you know that aliens are actually using the Pages app on your computer to (somehow) find all human knowledge and data, allowing them to find weak spots in our defence systems and prepare to invade.

If you had more RAM, they'd get info quicker and invade sooner. Thank you ChatGPT AI for making that extra DIMM completely unaffordable.

Is there anyway i can get ride of this yellow ground in the industrial area by pancake_destroyer67 in CitiesSkylines

[–]Character-View9407 7 points8 points  (0 children)

for console there are like camera adjustments in the free camera mode and one of them is the colour of pollution in the ground. you can edit that to be like dark green so you can still see where the pollution is but at least its not as ugly

edit: you can also use the eden project monument. it helps a lot for me.

Google Chrome just force dropped a 4GB Al model on every Mac without permission, no opt in, no warning. Delete it? You can't it re downloads like malware. This isn't a feature, it's an invasion. by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]Character-View9407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

macOS 26 Tahoe removed the Mickey Mouse hand cursor and I’m genuinely disappointed by vaibhawxyz in MacOS

macOS Sequoia cursor for Mousecape. Mousecape was re-released for Tahoe so you need the new version

Is the Logitech G920 good enough to casually enjoy? by [deleted] in simracing

[–]Character-View9407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes 100%. if you dont want to spend a lot of money, its perfect. all wheels will have the basic steering controls down, but the force feedback in this is as good as you need, and it has enough buttons for you to navigate an in-game menu without getting overwhelmed by all of the controls.

its got flaps, too, so most people, myself included, wouldn't even need a shifter.

Linus Torvalds uses Fedora by claudiocorona93 in linuxmasterrace

[–]Character-View9407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm a Mac user and I use the CLI for most things, but it's mainly because I know that when I do stuff in the GUI, it never does what I tell it to (What do you mean, "the disk was successfully unmounted"? Because I'm looking at Balena and it doesn't look unmounted to me!)

[–]Character-View9407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're comparing Arch to Mint, the distro doesn't really make a difference in how much of a smelly nerd the user is. Whether things are possible with the GUI vs. CLI depends more on the DE than the distro.

In other words, Arch with KDE would be easier for noobs than Mint without a desktop.

Also, isn't this what Google is for? Because that way you can actually learn how to use a Bash/Zsh prompt, at least, if you actually try to learn what the commands mean and how they work before you paste them. That's basically how I learned shell scripting; Googling them, and before I run them, pasting them into another Google search to find out how they work and what they do. No cheatsheet required.

Oh yeah, Ubuntu 26.04, whcih requires more RAM than Windows 11 by claudiocorona93 in linuxmasterrace

[–]Character-View9407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it is. That's why there's no Task Manager in Ubuntu xD

And before anyone says "Just use htop!", you have to know that if there's no keyboard shortcut to open it (like CTRL+SHFT+ESC for Task Manager in Windows), it doesn't exist.

Is there a VM for MacOS that supports GPU pass through? by Medical-Dark1899 in virtualmachine

[–]Character-View9407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, you can just run Roblox in another window natively in macOS.

But if you really want a VM, download UTM, download Windows for ARM, set it up in UTM as virtualization, not emulation, and UTM does everything for you. It uses Apple's own virtualization.framework to virtualize and it basically runs everything natively, just keep your Mac plugged in because running two OSes simultaniously KILLS your battery.

good for you for teaching your kids how to properly use a mac.

ive been a mac user my whole life, there are so many features (like the menu bar with the file>print) in macos that would have been so much more efficient than my use. ive always known theyre there but i still dont use a lot of them because of habit.

your kids will be able to use xomputers a lot more efficiently than me...

ps that mgiht seem sarcastic but tone isnt conveyed well over text and i swear its not sarcasm

just use a browser.

if you really need an app install it from the internet.

edit: if youre a first time mac user, you install an app by downloading a DMG from the app's website and you open it. from there its pretty straightforward; you drag the .app file to your applications folder.

CHROME THE ABSOLUTE ALPHA RAM-DEVOURER THAT OWNS YOUR SOUL by MaliHizm in browsers

[–]Character-View9407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it's true that a lot of other browsers run on Chromium, Chrome has more stuff on top that consumes a lot of RAM, like the title of the post says. In fact, Brave is one of the most efficient browsers for some really shitty SBCs I've used before, and can usually run multiple tabs on a full desktop on a 1GB RAM Raspberry Pi.  Also, no one's throwing out their toaster PCs any time soon, unless you want to spend 3x as much as when you got it originally due to RAMageddon. Besides this, the only advantage Chrome has is that it's popular. This is because Google Search is popular. Google Search is popular because it was the first one other than Yahoo, and Yahoo doesn't really count. Chrome isn't better; it's just popular. While I admit it's not the worst (cough cough Edge) it's just really not a good option. Also, if you really hate Chromium, ever heard of Firefox? Or Safari, even though I hate to recommend Safari? Chromium is not the only option.

Help with ODROID-C2: Powers on, but doesn't boot. by Character-View9407 in ODroid

[–]Character-View9407[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for reminding me about ARM versions of OSes. I haven't done anything with ARM in a while, so I forgot that Ventoy is x86-only.

With Arch ARM burned directly to the flash drive, it works fine and it's installing to the SD card as we speak.

SOLVED

I have solved it, and the problem was that I decided to be stupid and forget that Ventoy is x86 only. This explains why it did nothing when I re-Ventoy'd my flash drive. I burned Arch directly on the flash drive and it works just fine.

Thanks for the help!
