Imagine Tylenol is found to cure a disease.

Tylenol is already approved, with known conditions under which it is safe and not safe.

Therefore, it is easier and safer to test a new use for Tylenol than starting from scratch testing a previously unknown drug.

Your biggest issue is going to be dealing with multiple partitions, unless you can find another boot disk, because your disk is pretty full. I would strongly recommend getting a second disk, unless you are willing to delete a lot of (presumably) game executables.

It is also a good idea to have a relatively smaller Linux partition, and point your Steam library and other documents to a separate data partition. My 1TB nvme has 150MB EFI FAT32 partition, a 100GB ext4 root partition (Linux is installed here), and the remaining ~900GB as my ext4 data partition. This way, if you choose to install a different Linux, or blow away your root partition, you can relink your Steam/Music/Video Libraries and local AI models, and get up and running again very quickly.

Outside of the disk, my top recommendation is to archive your active steam games, so you can restore them into Linux without fully re-downloading later. Additionally, unless your games are in Steam Cloud, you will also have a bit of a time restoring save files to the new OS, as the file paths will be different than you are used to on Windows.

My second recommendation is to ensure secure boot is disabled in your BIOS; there are currently known issues with driver signing with the NVIDIA driver.

Finally, assuming you’re on a Ubuntu-based distro like Mint, ensure you install Steam from the .deb or apt package, not the flatpak. On Mint, “Install Steam” is available right in the start menu.

Somewhat the opposite, but can it run Crysis?

This is arguably worse than the Ronaldo statue… does no one review these things before they are revealed to the public??

Sigh, clickbait at its finest, why else would we click

I would look at CISA’s Logging Made Easy project, which is based on Wazuh and Elastic with Kibana for visualization and dashboards.

A failed sealing ring… caused coolant to go where it shouldn’t. Saved you a click.

Explain your thought process here, how did you arrive at the larger bottle being 90% more detergent? It’s EXPLICITLY clear that the concentration is higher in the smaller bottle.

You could complain about the form factor or lack of precision in dosing loads using the higher concentration, but “detergent” is mostly water, which they clearly said they reduced by 75% (same solute, with less water/solvent = higher concentration).

Quick search and going by what it says on the label, the cost per load has not significantly changed, a little more than half a penny’s difference:

Ultra Concentrated (left) $15/60 loads = $0.25/load https://mrsmeyers.com/collections/laundry/products/ultra-concentrated-laundry-detergent-rain-water?variant=50673207640338

Standard (right) $18/74 loads = $0.2432/load https://mrsmeyers.com/collections/laundry/products/ultra-concentrated-laundry-detergent-rain-water?variant=50673207640338

You definitely should bump it up the list, especially if you can handle ray tracing, though the raster lighting is also good.

Here’s a human summary cut right from the middle of the article:

[..] even if the committee eliminated all other programmes entirely, it could achieve only $381bn in savings – about 43 percent of the target. “In short, if they don’t want to cut Medicaid [or CHIP], and they don’t want to cut Medicare, the goal of cutting $880bn is impossible,” [Georgetown Professor Andy] Schneider said.

BE WARNED. These extensions are a prime target for purchase and/or hijacking by malicious threat actors, who then use them to gain persistence on your browsers and steal data. There is no reason to increase your browser attack surface for this feature when better alternatives have been posted in this thread.

There are dozens of these articles dating back the last five years or so.

It is not on Steam; lead developer is apparently adamantly against the Steam monopoly and 30% cut. They literally proposed distributing via torrents and discord.

Hi all,

The following post appears to crash my feed while scrolling:

It is a very long text post with some technicals, so possibly a parsing error in the text preview?

Thanks! Worked around it by blocking the user temporarily.
