Hot, yes. Usually quite comfortable though. Though both depend on the design. And there are cooling options out there; small airflow systems for the heads, and cooling vests that yhe other commentor posted a link to.

Getting WiFi to work in 2003

[-] BlueDwaggin@pawb.social 3 points 11 months ago

Possibly. Some XPS models (~9310) cheaped out on the WiFi chipset, which was really bad at reconnecting after sleep/suspend on Win 10/11 right out off the box.

Tried a live Linux install and it worked perfectly, so made the switch as there was no Win-only software that I needed.

Strange. One of them main reasons I wiped my Dell XPS OEM Windows and installed Linux was for -better- WiFi behaviour.

Asking a fitbit to set a timer for 2 hours is dumber.

Apparently it only supports a 1h39m59s at a maximum. So responds saying it can't set that timer. But then offers clickable suggestions for 1h50m and 2h10m ... which gets you the exact same response.

Civ always makes me think of Nimoy. His voice-lines for Civ 4 echo in my head to this day.

I have a rig with Windows 10, and haven't upgraded because.. Microsoft arbitrarily say my CPU is unsupported, even though it meets all the criteria.

I had the opposite problem with Windows 11.

My typical way of shutting down my machine was Alt-D, Show Desktop, then Alt-F4, which brings up a shutdown menu.

For whatever reason in Win 11, they made this menu unable to trigger updates. So for the first several months of my Win 11 install it was quietly never receiving any updates at all.

I find that Stevia has a vaguely creamy flavour to it. Which works well in some instances, and not in others.

Aspartame just tastes awful, for me I get this weird sticky/bitter sensation over the roof of my mouth and turn my throat.

Splenda/Sucralose tastes fine, but has noticeable effects elsewhere, which are a bit TMI.

In 2021, I got an email that said: "We have temporarily suspended your inactive Ubisoft account and will be closing it permanently in 30 days in accordance with our Terms of Use." - And my account had two games at the time.

It really winds me up how results that match every search term aren't prioritised any more. I often search for very specific pieces of hardware, and it's been a nightmare since the late 2010s. You now have to pore over each result to check that it's 100% what you're are looking for.

SEO exacerbates the problem, but I'd say the root cause is the algorithm itself.
