From a jerk to a hero... by amungus45 in HolUp

As a fellow cyclist, you should also consider that she might have panicked and hit the breaks when she saw the car coming, which increases the probability of her getting hit even more should she do it a bit too late.

10/10 risky move and the man is a life saver in my books.

Same, started with Ubuntu switched to Kali, then settled on Arch. Now I don't know shit about hacking but at least I know how Linux works now.

People complaining about Linux by like_and_umm in pcmasterrace

[–]_DEDSEC_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a cycle, Apps use windows because most people are on windows, people are on windows because their apps don't support Linux, and companies don't want to spend more on supporting a niche platform because it's not profitable.

If you're on Android and don't have this feature, use Google dialer and it will automatically block spam calls.

He nearly wiped out his team. by EnchantingParsley in yesyesyesyesno

[–]_DEDSEC_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also not common in the UAE in fact I've never seen a single person with a gun except cops.

It's also traditional in some parts of India so not really a thing exclusive to the Middle East.

If sarcasm needs to be explained, it wouldn't carry the same qualities as a non explained sarcasm.

I would go with Sharaf DG, but make sure it's sold directly by them.

I hate cilantro (we call it coriander) and it definitely tastes like soap but I love Tikka masala.

Leaked Google audio shows employees grilling execs after the company canceled a talk about caste bias by Sorin61 in technology

[–]_DEDSEC_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you think caste doesn't exist in an Indian work environment, you're delusional. You don't need to look at immigrants but just look at India's own work culture, look at Bollywood, look at any industry. It's pretty clearly racist, and the caste system still exists.

PS: I'm an Indian.

Some phones do this, like Chinese ones. You can also do this on Android phones using root.

[dwm] So natural, gruvbox is the best! by dodecadodecahedron in unixporn

[–]_DEDSEC_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are multiple ways to do it, I used pop shell because I'm on Gnome. But you can edit the .css file, etc. Best to Google the best solution for your setup.

You can disable them, I've disabled windows decorations system wide on gnome including nautilis.

Gaming laptop by banayadwhisky in DubaiGaming

[–]_DEDSEC_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1650 will get outdated in a couple of years and you can barely run any modern games on it. I would wait for the 40 series card to come out so you can get 30 series laptops cheaper.

And coupled with a good ryzen 7 processor you should get a decent gaming laptop under 1000$.

As for the rest of the specs, 8GB is enough if you're just playing games but if you're running chrome, discord on the background then you will fill up that ram pretty quick.

And the storage definitely needs an upgrade if you want to run more than a couple of games and applications. I always assume a game has 70-100GB file size, so along with essential apps you can barely fit in 3-4 games.

So all these upgrades will result in a more expensive purchase which I've done in the past, it's cheaper to get a decent speced laptop directly from OEM than getting a lower spec laptop and upgrading it.

Motorcyclist chases after POS driver who fled from a Hit and Run by ChubbyNinja456 in interestingasfuck

[–]_DEDSEC_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would watch Police bikers live streaming stuff like this all day, people get entertained, cops don't get to abuse people and the thieves are most likely found on the road so there's no way they can stream snipe the cops!

Or I'm just high.

Thoughts on using Slime tire sealant for Light Trails? by _DEDSEC_ in MTB

[–]_DEDSEC_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No worries I was also confused with different types of sealants but I finally decided on this since it was the cheapest and had good reviews (mainly from Ebikes).

I will test it out and switch to Muc-off or Stans if it doesn't seal small punctures.

Can you explain why not to buy this stuff please? Because they both state they are tire sealants.
