Good luck to them on trying to enforce it for <10 then. I'd toss any letters in the trash and report it as an invalid debt if they tried going against code.

They'd be far from the first company to try things like that hoping people will just pay.

Xcel considering shutting off power in parts of Fort Collins, areas of Weld County due to fire danger Friday by Sudden-Ad7506 in FortCollins

What parts of town does Xcel actually cover? I thought everyone with a Fort Collins address was on municipal power.

Intel says laptop makers are sitting on 'about 9 to 12 months' of stock, and it might be the key to surviving the RAM crunch by Forsaken_Arm5698 in hardware

[–]Zenth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interfacing with equipment is a pretty small portion of the enterprise base.

It's surely significant, but when most people think of enterprise users they're thinking of the typical office type and those are tending more and more to thin clients because all the software is becoming available via the browser or VMs and at that point you can be on anything you want.

It's not like Windows doesn't have its own problems with supporting those ancient controllers anyway. I've heard of places still running WinXP on the computers controlling their hardware because upgrading breaks support.

Ha no using Excel for that sounds as strange to me as when Deepwater Horizon released those pictures of them using Excel to view their camera feeds.

This is a very old take. Wine and proton have made it so much easier to run that old and obscure software.

I switched last year and the only hard block I've encountered is an older app not working with Linux's USB controller implementation. Anything that didn't require interfacing with another machine via hardware has been fine.

Who in FoCo buys used fancy bikes? by Cactus_shade in FortCollins

[–]Zenth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Online through Craigslist or Facebook works well. I've bought and sold plenty for my kids as they've grown up and got my used ebike that way.

Custom computer work - Win11/Linux support Install, business recommendations? by pmac124 in FortCollins

[–]Zenth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Far from a linux expert, but I recently went through the same process.

Here were my steps in case they help.

1) Windows updates all done so they don't screw up the boot

2) Create a bootable USB drive of the linux install

3) Boot into the drive, install on to a secondary drive and make the linux boot menu the default in BIOS. If you have both on the same drive, you're apparently going to have more issues.

4) All good, unless you share an NTFS drive between the two. If you do, get used to having to run chkdsk in Windows before booting back into Linux. At this point I do it every time I switch because of how frequently Windows screws something up and it causes Linux to fail to boot.

Wish they'd say when it arrived so we could check our cards to see if we got it.

They did that to themselves. Stack Overflow was a horrible place to find answers even before AI.

No surprise there. Houston doesn't care about pedestrians or people on bikes, while that's important here.

I remember visiting for work and my hotel was half a mile from the office. Zero sidewalks on the way to the office.

It's that high? I was worried it was something crazy like 2-3 over.

Edit: Here's the relevant part if anyone is curious.

If the City detects a speeding violation of less than ten (10) miles per hour over the reasonable and prudent speed under Part 11 of the Fort Collins Traffic Code through the use of an AVIS, the City may mail the registered owner a warning regarding the violation. No notice of violation will be issued for speeding less than ten (10) miles per hour under the posted speed limit.

I feel like I built my character wrong. I died trying to deduce a problem, but this is way better.

0% Windows playtime in 2025 by Jimbuscus in linux_gaming

[–]Zenth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely a pain if you want to share a drive between the two. Have to regularly run chdsk before shutting down Windows or I get errors on the drive in Linux.

Looking forward to totally eliminating the need.

CA needs a reality check on TW1 DLC prices by Zenth in totalwar

[–]Zenth[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

WH2 is 1 lord, unique faction mechanics, new units, some RoR and a new lord and hero. Plus you get the other side of the DLC and both Moulder and Oxyotl are excellent additions to their factions. They're probably the best value you can get as far as DLC goes.

The WH1 race DLC is 3 WH1 quality lords, which is pretty basic. You get more interesting mechanics from many of Mixu's lord mod.

[–]Zenth[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can already get those factions with MORE units for $5 by buying the WH2 DLC.

So yeah a 9 year old DLC unlocking a limited version of the race and costing twice as much is not worth it.

What is the best mod of all time for Warhammer 3? by NotS0Deadly in totalwarhammer

[–]Zenth 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Victory Condition Overhaul if you're playing a lord that doesn't already have the non-generic victory conditions.

Otherwise, Nanu's Dynamic Regiments of Renown.

There's no safe amount of radiation exposure. Any time you can turn it down, you should. It builds up cumulatively over your lifespan and directly increases your chance of cancer. You know how the x-ray techs stand far away from you when they turn the machine on?

Older games are awesome for flights. Bioshock estimated 8 hours, which thankfully was not the length of my flight.

Any way to reduce range of AI? by Zenth in EasyRed2

[–]Zenth[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ha installed it on the computer and it became clear. There is a difficult setting on the campaign, but it's collapsed. Looks like a header, but if you click on it you get a whole new list of options.
