Yeah I've never had a missing driver problem with a windows install since maybe windows 7. I even moved a hard drive with a windows 8 install from an Asus laptop with an Intel cpu to a custom build desktop with a ryzen cpu without having to change any drivers. I did have to reactivate windows because of the hardware change but that's it.

The included drivers are often providing less performance than updated ones from the vendor though, so it is recommended to download those in some cases, specifically nvidia. But most gaming laptops will have a vendor provided update center to manage all of that for you.

I like Linux over windows for a lot of reasons but this post is a bit silly.

Debian on a base model 2013 MacBook air checking in. Runs better than it ever did on Mac OS. Battery life is still fine. I did have to use proprietary drivers for some things (wifi and webcam) but other than that it was pretty much plug and play.

Lots of replacement parts are on ebay for cheap, and there are a lot of repair tutorials on YouTube (and piped.video) I replaced keyboard and trackpad cheaply, and some of the internal cables.

As far as drawbacks, if you have to replace the storage or or logic board, those are expensive. I have a sound issue which I haven't been able to fix and from searching around it looks like a logic board would be required. Bluetooth headphones work fine though so I'm just dealing with it.

I need to get more. It is legit. I don't know how the quality of the supermarket stuff but I had some from a local farmers market and it was awesome. The guy grows all the mushrooms himself and sells them fresh and dried and the extracts. He also sells the stuff to grow your own. But the fresh stuff he had was really helpful to me before I knew I had ADHD. I just thought I had brainfog but that stuff really helped with focus for me.

I'm on meds now that help too but I'd like to get some more lions main as well

I will try that! I have never had to worry about it in the past so that will be an adjustment

Thank you! The webcam is working fine now. still can't figure out the audio but I'll keep messing with it

Yeah I do like that it doesn't jerk the printer, just a little wiggle!

That's a cool idea for the coaster! I might do that if I ever get into pouring resin

It was kind of talked about on Discovery with Georgiou after they went to the future. The universes were drifting apart, and because the mirror universe was no longer aligned with the primer universe in whatever year Discovery ended up in, Georgiou was not able to maintain cohesion and had to go back in time. link

I may be misremembering headcannon as an actual line from the episode but I seem to remember hearing that the mirror universe was the one that was the closest to them on the space time continuum. The fact that they were both aligned is why people could travel between them and not others.

Octoprint is a software to manage a printer running marlin firmware.

Klipper is a different printer firmware, and is not something you can use to manage a printer running marlin.

I do want to look at flashing klipper to my sv06 someday but right now I'm just trying to print stuff without manually moving an SD card every time.

I agree. In addition to impacting the poor in towns and cities, raising gas prices also has an even larger impact on people in more rural areas where everything is spread out. We do most of our grocery shopping in the next town over, which is 15 miles away, with basically nothing in between. Sure it still takes only 15-20 minutes to get anywhere we want to go, but those minutes are a lot more miles out here compared to driving 15-20 minutes to go a shorter distance I'm a city.

Within towns and cities, infrastructure should be built for people first, not cars, so as to make it easier and more pleasant to navigate a city by foot, bike, or public transit. It drives me crazy how pedestrian hostile most towns are. I'd like to see the design paradigm flipped.
