Gentoo has binary packages now, so install can be quite fast.

I have a Samsung 4K HDR 120hz TV and can't really tell any difference between it and my ancient non-smart Phillips LCD TV that it replaced.

I have an Xbox series x with 4k hdr enabled and everything still just looks "normal" to me.

120hz is slightly noticeable compared to 60 in games that support it, but not a huge deal. 99%+ of what i do on my TV isn't 4K, HDR, or 120hz, so it's not extremely valuable. From "couch distance" anything above 720p is unnoticeable anyway.

I also have a windows 11 laptop with 4k HDR screen and disabled HDR in settings because the colors were all horrible looking with it on. Honestly I run it in 1080 instead of 4k because it uses less battery, performs better, and many programs don't work correctly at 4K, and i can't tell the difference anyway. Tiny pixels are still tiny.

I realize this whole comment may come off as old man "get off my lawn" fist-shaking. I'm not trying to downplay other people's experiences who seem to be genuinely impressed by these features, and maybe I'm just "holding it wrong", but for me, personally, I regret spending extra for the whole 4K HDR thing.

Ironically, Microsoft has retired the "Microsoft Office" name.

Short answer is genocide of native people combined with racism against Black people.

Mixed-race marriage, neighborhoods and schools were illegal in the US, in some way or another, for over 300 years. The US Supreme Court did not rule it unconstitutional until 1967.

The US state of Alabama did not officially remove their laws against mixed-race marriage until year 2000.

I'm using the EasySSHFS package from F-Droid. Similar to mounting on Linux, you must create a folder as the mount point. For example, on my phone I first manually made the folder called /storage/self/primary/mnt in a local root terminal in connectbot (create a connection, protocol local, type in "su" to become root, grant access when prompted, then type "mkdir /storage/self/primary/mnt" to create the directory)

In the EasySSHFS new connection setup, i put that path in the seventh field on the form. In the sixth field is the path on the remote server that you wish to mount, for example /home/khorak

In the other fields give the username and password (or key file)

The last field contains the mount options, I did not need to change them but you can if needed.

EasySSHFS needs to be allowed root access.

Once you mount, the folder created previously at /storage/self/primary/mnt will contain the contents of the remote server. In my case, using this path makes it appear like it is on the sdcard in android. I can watch videos using VLC or listen to mp3 songs etc as if they are local on my phone.

I am in the US and street addresses are visible and searchable in Organic Maps for me. I don't know if it depend on the area or something.

I have used Linux as my main for 20 years, but I have a dedicated windows computer for games (hooked to my TV in the living room). A lot of my steam games work in Linux nowadays, but the windows computer just works without fuss. I use it ONLY for games and turn it off when I'm not playing anything.

Ironically some older games (older win95/98/XP era games) work better in Linux under wine or emulation...

I have also used a windows vm with gpu pass-through to play games on my Linux machine, though I'm sure a lot of your anti cheat would probably not allow that. I don't bother with that anymore since so many games work in Linux with proton.

For non-gaming use I feel that 99% of dual boot scenarios should probably just be virtual machines instead. I have a windows VM I fire up for proprietary software or work related stuff when necessary.

It's a Japanese game compatible with the Japanese Master System or Mark III, which uses a different sized cartridge than the overseas SMS. The Japanese Sega SG-1000 used this same size cartridge, and the Japanese SMS/MKIII were backwards compatible with them.

The Samsung Gam-Boy (South Korean version of the Master System) also used the Japanese-style cartridges.

In Japan, they used the "Gold Cartridge" branding for first-party releases and "Silver Cartridge" for third-party releases.

ThinkPads still have real mouse buttons, at least. And some who copy the ThinkPad, like HP Zbook.
