I reckon it could be related to the permissions required to write to the usb. Perhaps udev rules could help here?

Oh sorry, guess I missed the random drives part. You’re absolutely right in that regard. Also, I use fstab to setup automount, so can’t help op with this.

WTF? I’m automounting my home directory from an external ssd usb for ages now. What is the disaster that could happen you’re referring to?

I don’t see why it won’t play nice with linux but as to if you should buy this laptop… it doesn’t look in a good shape. I am a bit biased as I had poor experience with laptops with gpus. Old laptops can have bent heatsinks so you can’t control the temps no matter what. If yiu are hell bent on buying it then I’d recommend to stress test both gpu and cpu and look for heavy thermal throttling

Looks like generic chinese mechanical keyboards you get in flea markets.

My first mech was very similar, got it for less than 5 bucks and came with kailh blue switches. Body was solid but switches left a lot to be desired.

Developers when they search for a bug and no google result comes up. ChatGPT starts hallucinating mad and starts suggesting generic steps that you already did. And you’ve been slacking off for a few days because you know it’s small biscuits and you can clutch in a few hours. But you start working just before the deadline and now the dread is slowly setting in.

Yeah unfortunately. We’ve tried so many things at this point but for some reason only FPS games stick with us

Hmmm, this game looks sweet, maybe a good option for future once military fever is down a notch.

Thanks, we haven’t played through other cod coop campaigns as much as WAW so it’s definitely a viable option if nothing else comes up.

Thanks, we tried this earlier but me and my buddies can’t seem to do stealth no matter how much we try. Now if it can be a viable strategy to go guns blazing then that’d be a different story.

Yeah, not what we’re looking for right now but we’ve played through halo games and it was a blast. GOW didn’t sit right with us, perhaps due to the third person view, but we are going to give it an another try in the future. Just now, we got the COD itch. We’ve completed world at war campaigns so many times that now we just blaze through it on full autopilot now…

Thank you, I think this one’s closest to what we are looking for.

Schrodinger’s Brain

Okay lol, my bad. I guess I have been living in an echo chamber when it comes to that game. Earth Defense Force. Love the series. You save the earth … by destroying it.

My spine is already fucked by years of programming so no worries there mate.

Here you go: https://store.kde.org/p/1425082 Go into the file tab to get the images.

Okay had to dig into it but found it. It’s called Anurati font.

lol I guess you haven’t played EDF then?

Well the best thing about it is that she wouldn’t even touch linux before this. She’s primarily a mac user. But after I dragged her to see my desktop modifications, after 10 eye rolls, she said she could do much better job than me.

Hours later she was still at it, hairs scattered, baffled looking… saying how could someone live with so many choices lol.

The good thing out of this was that now she’s starting to see the point of linux after all these years.

Eh, let it fall. I have been wanting to replace that samsung 4k crap that looks worse than 1080p chinese monitors
