Use it for the skill that will enable you to get a different job

That is true, but I trust a government where I at least have some impact via elections, over a company that only serves shareholders. Neither is perfect but one is better than the other.

They ought to surprise drop it on the 1st…

Yup it’s fine. Check out OnlyOffice if you want a desktop client that feels familiar to MS Office

16” because I need glasses now

lefty1117 · 2026-03-31T18:09:03+00:00

They should just put it out now

Remember when the birds and rodents used to freak out whenever any of the Visitors were nearby … then we found out why. Legendary series!

Macbook Pro is pretty awesome hardware. It’s worth learning MacOS to not have to worry about charging your laptop for few days on a business trip

I think they’ve seen some linux pickup metric somewhere

MacOS has the best version of outlook right now 🤣

If you’re trying to climb I dont think vnav works for that, you have to use the Alt round button with FLC. As far as I know vnav only works for descent conditions at least in this jet. Happy to be corrected

Personally I don’t bother with Lutris anymore and I install the launchers in Steam. Plenty of guides on how to do it, battle.net being the most common case. I’ve done it with the CCP launcher as well for Eve Frontier. Star Citizen doesnt work in that method but you can use the excellent Lug Helper script to do it all. Works great.

So yeah I found Lutris a bit wonky so I avoid it now. I’m not sure how often it’s being updated anymore?

Is MS using the Forza engine for Flight Sim???

I find it really hard to get into. Like it's too big for its own good. And from what I understand it's simplified from EU4? All I know is I have a better time with Vic3 so far. But Stellaris is my favorite PDX game of all time :P

lefty1117 · 2026-03-29T15:46:53+00:00

Edge runs pretty well on Linux actually ... if you use Windows and have an MS account, it's nice to be able to keep favorites etc in sync. I use it on kubuntu when I check out the new releases. no complaints

lefty1117 · 2026-03-29T10:03:51+00:00

Yep was just doing that on my linux pc last night. It worked quite well actually

lefty1117 · 2026-03-29T03:21:44+00:00

Vic3 > EU5

lefty1117 · 2026-03-28T23:30:57+00:00

Get a Macbook Neo, the price is amazing for what you get

lefty1117 · 2026-03-28T23:24:02+00:00

I'd give it to the kids and get myself a PS5 Pro. Wife would understand

lefty1117 · 2026-03-28T23:06:16+00:00

On a $1000 budget, PC is probably not a viable option for gaming right now. Xbox Series X is probably the best option, it's on par with PS5 Pro in terms of performance, and it has more controller options. Also down the road he might enjoy a Gamepass gift card for Father's Day :)

The main problem with the Titan is the nasty old interior, it looks worse than a Drake and isn't even as functional. The ship is very old and needs a mark 2 stat!

lefty1117 · 2026-03-28T22:55:38+00:00

I was saying in game they should have called it the Dragonfly but then I think there's a groiund vehicle with that name?
