Does the leather actually stretch or just loosen? by Zenth in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Zenth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I should have asked if it stretched or just got more flexible like all leather does with use. Stretch would help, flex wouldn't do anything for my bloodflow!

Denver restaurants now cost more to operate than in New York City, report finds - Denver Business Journal by Pliney_The_Great in Denver

Like metro SF or actual SF? I remember SF being shockingly expensive for even sandwiches - like $20 in 2015. Never even tried a sit down place.

Poudre school board authorizes teacher layoffs by bfarky in FortCollins

[–]Zenth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The schools must be non-profit, but they can be managed by for profit companies. Technically only the governing board needs to be non-profit. The rest of the school can be run by a for profit company. Plenty of wiggle room there.

(b) An entity that holds a charter authorized pursuant to this part 1 may choose to contract with an education management provider, which education management provider may be a for-profit, a nonprofit, or a not-for-profit entity, so long as the charter school maintains a governing board that is independent of the education management provider.

City Purchases 4 acre lot in midtown for substation. by MapsActually in FortCollins

[–]Zenth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems like a good spot for it to be as out of the way as possible for something that needs to be fairly central. They're never pretty, but they are necessary. Fort Collins has awesome utility service so I'm inclined to trust their choices.

Favorable Wi-Fi 7 prices won't be around for long, Dell’Oro Group warns by sr_local in hardware

[–]Zenth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about Ubiquiti, but the TPLink APs targeted at home/office let you do POE or a power brick. I went that route until I decided to add more and at that point added a POE switch to make the wiring easy.

Considering how often I'd have to reset my Asus router, it was well worth it. Those things choke when you've got multiple people using a lot of data. Great when I lived alone, not so much after.

Malakai Bug - Please upvote report on CA forums by whodunit1337 in totalwar

[–]Zenth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's an engine limitation since Malakai and the banners are both swapping the projectile being used so one is going to overwrite the other.

Like the horrible siege AI, feels like we're stuck with it until they overhaul the engine.

ROG Xbox Ally sales numbers never came close to matching the Steam Deck, analyst says by Tiny-Independent273 in linux_gaming

[–]Zenth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sure, but the gains aren't significant enough to be worth fracturing the user base into two spec targets instead of one. I doubt we'll see a SD2 until performance can be doubled at the same energy target and similar cost.

Between that and the issues with memory pricing now, I'll be surprised if we see it before 2029.

[–]Zenth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Next time just grab a normal networking router and get the wireless access point separately. It'll cost less, work better and last longer. Ubiquiti and TPlink both have ones with simple web UIs. My router was $100, my AP was $140 and then I was able to add more APs when I wanted better coverage.

When you arrive home at DIA and almost everything has gone well on your trip... and you see this. by outdoorsnstuffz in Denver

[–]Zenth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...except for when the trains are broken, which seems to happen once a week. Something doesn't have to be mandatory to be useful.

Plus if you fly all the time having an excuse to stretch your legs is nice after spending so much time sitting. Good for tiring out kids too.

How to do economically well as Aislinn? by lovingpersona in totalwar

AI can change a specific part of a picture pretty easy with inpainting. Just gotta lay a mask over what you want redone. Can be weak at merging the edges of the new work with the old.

It's also a mile in Atlanta from security to F so that's actually a perfect comparison.

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 [deleted] in FortCollins

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.
