Thanks. It’s just weird. I have tons of old friends on Steam that have been offline for years… I have no idea what happened to them or what’s going on in their lives… But this one guy I know for sure and it just hits hard. Part of me wishes I didn’t know.
Not to be morbid, but I found out a friend/former co-worker of mine passed away via Steam. He had been offline for a super long time and one day I saw his account pop up as in game. I decided to say hi, only to find out it was his son. The son told me that my friend has passed about a year prior and he had taken over his father’s account.
It was such a shock I had to sit and contemplate it for a while. I still don’t quite believe it to this day.
So back in the day you could hold home to pull up Google assistant and tell it to translate whatever was on your screen. No matter what app, browser, etc it just worked. I have no idea why they ever got rid of it. Now with the modern version of tap to translate text has to be highlight-able in order to be translated, which is a bone headed decision. It’s like they never use the stuff they make.
So you would think so, but no. I asked about a gate change and they said “The left from this gate, on time.”
Somehow I missed a flight while I was at the gate. Mind you it was a small plane. I still don’t understand it to this day. I was sitting at the gate waiting for them to announce boarding or watch the sign change. Nothing the whole time I was there.
Finally about 20 minutes after we were supposed to leave I get up and ask the desk staff and they tell me the plane left.
I didn’t understand how this had happened and apparently neither did they. I didn’t see anyone board the plane, there were no announcements or notifications.
Congratulations on the release!
That’s exactly how it works. And every time you boot to the USB drive you’re presented a boot menu with a list of isos. You pick the iso you want and then it boots normally to that iso.
So it’s two pieces of magic that make my life easy.
Its one of those things, once I started using it, I can’t imagine how I worked without it.
Yeah, I ended up just tossing another $15 at Parted Magic. It really just has all the tools you want on in one place. Great for recovery or destruction.
I’ll second ventroy. It actually just works.
I have a 256GB usb stick loaded with various install isos. It’s great being able to just copy over the iso instead of having to image them every time I need one.
I’m one of those weirdos who actually likes an email client vs a web one. I have multipl email accounts and it’s nice to have one space for all of them. I used thunderbird for years and eventually caved and started using multiple tabs of web interfaces.
With this announcement I said to myself hell let’s try it. Immediately upon installing it I thought I had the wrong version, because the layout was the same old layout that’s it’s always been and not the new vertical card layout they showed on the website.
I was able to change it to look like their new modem redesign but it was not the default. So just a heads up to anyone who’s curious to try it because of the fresh coat of paint.
I’m going to try it for the next few months and see how I like it again.
Is this a somehow a reference to The Rescuers: Down Under?
I refuse to install anything Facebook related on my outcome. I was one who has to walk away.
I find this mildly infuriating, so I think it fits here.
