Yeah I experienced a lot of stuff that made me feel like HP really doesn’t want people installing another OS on their machines, as far back as the Windows 8 days, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some foolishness at play here. Weird stuff like not letting you properly boot from a USB drive.

Have you tried connecting to an external monitor or TV using HDMI or VGA? Have you looked up your specific model number and seen what buttons to press to bring up this menu? I’ve had success there before on this.

With Windows 10 installed, you can search for “UEFI” or “BIOS” and it will bring up an option that will aid you in booting to the UEFI/BIOS from Windows. That may be something to try here too and see if that gets the computer to boot into it and then you can possibly make changes to either make the system wait a few more seconds or show you the screen for the actual buttons to press for a future occurrence.

Think you meant “Arthur”, not “Archer”. I was confused for a minute lol.

It makes sense for scripting. You can build a process in a file to share among yourself and various devices or with friends to do a certain task on an automated basis.

Even on Windows this is useful to schedule a task in Task Scheduler.

Maybe every Monday, you want your computer to restart. A really quick and basic bash could be written to “shutdown /r /t 0” I can’t remember the exact command and then that file gets executed in Task Scheduler at the specific time you want.

There are other uses like having a file set to rename files. I do this often for my Plex server because I like a specific naming convention on multiple files and to do it quickly.

It’s nicer than GUI because everything can be laid out for you in a manual as to what you need as simple commands and much easier to guide someone because it’s not “click to the far right, no not the side of the screen, but slightly far right and then click this icon that looks like a pineapple but is actually a microphone and then click the icon…” Whereas a command line is just “type in shutdown and then enter y when prompted” and “these are all the available commands and what they do”.

I will say GUIs are nicer for hiding Easter eggs, but also a few devs seem to enjoy making useful features like Easter eggs where I am just now finding out that a button to the far left of the screen has existed and does this useful function. I don’t have that issue in command line tools that have even the most basic documentation.

Microsoft knows just how to make me feel good about my decision to leave Windows.

But it’s got what the plants crave

No other business works as hard as YouTube at pissing off both viewers and creators of their platform lol

Better than buggy piece of shit getting released and not being able to play at all.

I’ll take late over rushed any day of the week. Especially when it’s only a few days late.

I’m a new player to S1 over the past month and been enjoying it so far.

It really depends on a lot of factors. The following questions are not ones I’m expecting you to answer, but questions that would affect this decision: What kind of trauma was it? How long ago was it? Is it likely the trauma could reappear on a second visit (example: if it was due to a war and the war is still ongoing, going back would not be a good idea)? What is the reason for going back, is it to overcome the fear, face it head on, etc.?

Depending on the severity of the trauma, this may be an answer best looked into with a professional, who can guide you on when and how it would be best to go back, or if going back is even something you should do. It simply may not be a good idea to do, at all. Or the way in which you originally planned to do it may not be the best idea for one reason or another that you may have overlooked but a professional could point out.

If it’s not that severe of a trauma that you feel needs a professional, I think the other person here is right, to go with someone, someone who you can trust to confide this with and tell them your plan. That you had something traumatic happen and you want their presence for moral support. But be careful not to expose them to the same sort of trauma too if the area is still dangerous enough for that to happen a second time.

I’m personally not familiar with AMV Hell but, going to cover this in spoiler to explain the exact scene from Golden Boy and give a summary of the show’s premise so you can compare:

Tap for spoilerThe whole Golden Boy anime is 5 episodes long and revolves around this guy, Kintaro, who is obsessed with women but he is also quite oblivious. The show follows him as he rides his bicycle around Japan doing odd jobs and meeting various women. In episode 4, Kintaro is riding his bicycle and a motorcycle passes him at a high speed and it turns out to be a very sexy woman riding the motorcycle. Kintaro follows her and eventually learns that she has a hideout where she keeps her motorcycle and she is, as literally as she can, having sex with her motorcycle. Well, more like getting off, sexually, to the motorcycle in an almost nude way, as she continually pulls the accelerator. She tells Kintaro that men just don’t do it for her like her motorcycle can.

Thank you! It’s working now, wrote this on Voyager!

[–] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I am noticing some issues on the third party app Voyager. I am currently accessing via my phone’s browser and I saw the Tollbot prompt for a second and then everything loaded up. But on the Voyager app, it loads for about 10 seconds and then fails. This is what it shows after that https://imgur.com/a/6oRTUVg trying to pull down and load again results in additional failures.

This just started this hour, not sure before that as the last time I was successfully on was when I made the previous comment and I didn’t have any issues at that time. Also on the same network as before, so I don’t believe it is my network that is causing this issue either.

 

Sorry if this is not the right community to ask this, but I just wondered this today.

Users often think of Linux as being more complicated to use than something like Windows or macOS, but I’m sure there are plenty of things made easier in Linux than the other two more common consumer OSes.

What are some that come to mind for you?

 

I got a new AIO cooler and needed to also move to a bigger desktop case.

So I moved all of my internal components from one case to the other and also removed the old AIO and installed the new one. Besides that, I might have damaged my PSU in the process so I had to replace that too. It wouldn’t turn on anymore so I just replaced it this morning.

I tried booting into Windows and it went to a BSOD saying cache_manager was the problem.

I tried to get a recovery in there and Windows tried to automatically repair drives but kept coming up on this same error.

I created a KDE Neon live USB and booted into that. Zero issues. I then manually formatted my Windows OS disk in KDE and also removed the Windows bootloader. Basically trying to start from a scratch system with no Microsoft any.

Still getting the BSOD, even with the Windows 11 USB installer I created from their creation tool. I am able to get to that purple screen in the installer and see a cursor to move around with my mouse. That’s the part in the Windows installer where you tell it what edition and which drive you want to choose. But after a few moments, it errors out to a BSOD.

Now I’ve actually went ahead and installed KDE Neon to my system. I use it on my laptop, but I need Windows on this computer for work (it’s my personal computer I game with but also use for remoting in for work).

I’m going to try redoing my USB as a new Windows 11 installer and see if that goes through, but wondering if there’s anything else I can do for this? Anything else to try?

 

I say “recently” in a relative way, more so countries that have split in the last century. Places like North and South Korea, Taiwan and China, former USSR states, etc.

Has enough time passed that these countries separated have major changes in their languages yet?

 

This shit grinds my gears so fucking hard.

 

I got a Dell Latitude 7400 2 in 1 from my job they were going to ewaste. I daily drive KDE Neon on it and I love it. However, one of its two USB type C ports isn’t working for charging or data transfer. I inspected the port but found no obvious damage. How can I troubleshoot and fix this? I’ve searched YouTube and online sites but haven’t found helpful guidance.

 
 

I get it if it’s at a place like Starbucks when you verbally say it. Everyone has a special way of spelling their name and you can’t know the spelling based on how it was said.

But when my name is literally written out in the previous email and you are replying to that email…bruh.

Makes me want to passive aggressively write theirs incorrectly too.

 

Just thinking about collector’s cups like limited edition Super Bowl memorabilia or whatever.

I realize that I prefer to use them rather than keep them pristine. I have a Chiefs winner shirt an ex gave me and I just wear it despite her saying it’d probably be worth something someday lol

 

I swear off so many products and services for no other reason than their obnoxious, repetitive commercials.

Off top of my head, I will never buy Old Spice anything because their ads are so repetitive and obnoxious. I feel disgust when I see it in the store and actively avoid it for no other reason than their spam campaigns.

Same for USAA, Native body wash, AmEx, Liberty insurance (that forced catchy theme), and more.

Anyone else feel the same way? Or have you caught yourself getting suckered in because of ads’ subconscious shenanigans?
