This is what my family (and a few friends) use. We have been using it for a while now because it just works. Also, the kids have never complained about using Conversations, or about using it only for us (like if you have that one family member who won’t leave SMS behind - we’re that guy, I guess), and we can make as many channels as we need for the house, the kids, with each kid individually, for our MTG cards, with our couple of friends that use it, etc…

I don’t personally do the hosting, so I can’t speak to that. That’s the hubby’s thing
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Haha - you too! I am also going to have to look into that, just in case 😅

Hell, I could be wrong too :-P I’ve never gone in that direction - only adding a Linux dual boot from USB stick. That sounds kinda scary, and would definitely make it easy.

Well, damn. Thanks for warning me about that possibility - looked like more steps that included BIOS last I checked, but as I said, I’ve never needed the process.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: I should note that I have installed Windows from a USB stick recently, I’ve just never already had another OS installed and then going to Windows. Most of my experience is installing a Linux flavor for dual boot.

I use this app called MoeMemos which is for memos I guess? But the reason I mention it like this is because I’m the user who needs to have the easy access on our server :-P

I don’t know if it’s an active community or not just checked and it looks like it’s active on GitHub at least.

I guess I don’t know - I think you’d still have to go into BIOS and switch it to boot from USB? I don’t know about the rest of it, but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t just start installation. Unless it’s a thumb drive specifically tailored to take over someone’s system?

So yes, you could reinstall Windows, but it would still require a reboot to BIOS to allow for it. Am I missing something? What’s the big “gotcha” that I missed? I genuinely don’t know, and since I am not an expert on installation of OSes, if you could enlighten me, that could be useful for me.

I don’t feel like that’s exclusive to Lenovo, fwiw. I have an Asus laptop, and it went like that for me installing Linux from a USB stick. It was a hassle and you’re right that it seems harder than it needs to be.

I don’t have any idea why it’s like that, but it feels like it’s a better option than someone being able to walk up to my PC/laptop/whatever and change my os just by using a thumb drive without any other hoops to go through. That’s just where I stand on the issue, but you’re right that it sucks for the owner/user.

We bought a copy of Heroes of Might and Magic V from GOG since I had never actually played any of them. It’s from 2006, and is in a genre on the edge of my interests.

We also picked up 2 copies of Satisfactory to play together, but were too sick to deal with the bugginess of actually getting multiplayer to work.

Happy Holidays everyone! Hope you all are staying healthy ❤️

I thought the same about seagulls - dumb bird, you don’t live anywhere near the sea… I actually would call them “parking lot gulls”

At least titmice have the decency to be cute!

Tufted titmice are among my favorite birds - and not just because I get to say “tit” in polite company… Also cockatoos and cockatiels.

I mean, to be fair… With the way Mt Dew eats up my stomach lining, I can sort of understand someone thinking it might get rid of DNA on the skin… Kinda…

Man. Florida. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Who knows what kind of crazy will happen next.

In the game Crackdown - you had to increase your agility and strength, and weapons proficiencies to be strong enough to move onto the next area.

You could get the xp by doing things like killing guys while jumping or whatever, or you could find “agility orbs” at the tops of a lot of buildings (and smokestacks, billboards, factories, etc.) and get extra xp from finding them. As you level up your agility, you can get to taller places. Eventually I’d just climb places because I could not because I saw an orb.

That and blowing shit up with a rocket launcher, getting a faction really pissed at me, and then quietly leaving the scene after I get ran out of rockets. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
