Welcome to the club :D I did the same thing last summer and also switched to Mint and never looked back. So basically Im a fellow newbie. It was the best decision as everything just works minus the windows shenanigans.

Even gaming is almost perfect (apart from the occasional tinkering here and there) its more than great. All my games work great, some better than under win.

Im even in the middle of building my new gaming PC exclusively for Linux in mind.

As I have to use win 11 for work (work laptop) I can see switching was the right decision as every update makes it more annoying and bloated.

I wish Nokia was still a big player in the phone business. My favourite (and most unique) phones were Nokia:

N95 - still looks gorgeous and classy and the “slide both ways” design blew my mind at the time. If they would release a new version I would probably buy it.

N-Gage - it was a cool and gimmicky phone, I admit it, only bought it for playing games, but loved how weird it was.

Lumia 920 - I loved windows phones, actually this was my second one and for me it was the best I could wish for. It had great camera, it was fast and looked super cool compared to the android competitors at the time. A shame the era of windows phones didn’t last long.

A failure is a failure, no matter how small or big. Just because its Apple why brush it off as a happy little experiment?

Every single review I saw said the same thing. Its amazing tech, with a big price tag and nobody knew who is it for. The magic wore off pretty quickly and nobody wanted to use it long term.

Would a mass test have this kind of marketing though?

It failed, no need to dance around the subject. It was a very expensive demo product, and nobody wants it.

As a kid the biggest one I can remember was Wolf, from the book The Talisman (King/Straub). Hurts to this day.

Tech support, the number of times I had to explain trivial things to some angry entitled asshat, who refused to read the instructions or didnt try basic troubleshooting steps (eg. turn it off and on again).

Also airport jobs. If people in holiday mode would just look up and follow the fucking signs…

Also oftem my wife asks me the question: what happened I just reply in a high pitched voice: “Acid!”

Dark is massively underrated, we were obsessed with it witth my wife. It was a separate evening before each new season to binge recaps on youtube to have a fresh knowledge of every character in every timeline.

Mr Robit is definetly in my top 10. I loved the “heist” episode, where they didnt say anything the whole time. It was just another level of television. Also the season finales are great.

Ha, self burn :) It was ages ago and never got too far into it, I just know there are multiple series and made a guess.

That was something. We watched it with a group of friends and half the people were stunned and some had no idea whats going on, but enjoyed it regardless.

Love that episode

Thats the episode I was describing in the original post :D s02E1, The Work Outing

Brilliant

That sounds awesome. I watched a couple seasons of the original series, never got to SG1

Its like every week a new episode of black mirror script is coming to life.

I know games as propaganda exist in some shape and form already, but imagine what could a selfish man-child with all the money in the world do to the game industry to bring his “vision” to life.

Out of touch, money-focused execs ruin everything. Especially when you have to keep the investors and shareholders happy.

Creating a game studio, because you are a huge corporation with unlimited money doesn’t guarantee success. Just look at Amazon game studios for example.

Yes

But can I take my Steam Deck with me?
