Fuck around. Find out.

Computer mouse or live mouse? Yes

It all falls under the same blanket concept of privacy rights, but yes monetizing user data is a more accurate sub category. It doesn’t truly matter what we call it as long as the discussion is being had.

Haven’t really seen anything other than the Alfredo one actually. That is what started me looking into this recipe.

Are there any you recommend I watch and try out next? I like learning new ways to make awesome food.

It isn’t attempting to capture your personal data and sell it to ad companies like most social media platforms are though.

The worst that happens is that it doesn’t form an emulsion with the butter and the water. I say give it a try and see how it turns out. Just remember to report back here so we can all learn from your experiment!

This version is a good bit different than the cream versions that you generally find. Pretty much just butter, cheese and pasta water.

Not the version that I am talking about here. This particular version was invented in Rome and was quite famous in its time.

I think there is something that is generally added to prevent it from sticking together if I remember correctly. You could certainly try it, but grating a cup of parm is not too difficult and it tasty.

I have a good heavy cream version that I like to make from scratch and it is really good, but this was so simple and tasty that it is going to be something that I keep on tap for an easy night where I still want something amazing.

Well, I use mine to stream games over wifi and it works better when my pc is wired. Different situations require different set ups. That’s the beauty of having options.

It really depends on what you are doing and what you are expecting to get out of the experience. For instance, streaming a game from a gaming pc to a Steam Deck or other portable unit works best when the pc is wired to the network.

But that’s why you would put it near the router so you don’t have to use 100 ft of cable to do it, so meh.

I feel like that is the common trend for me. Linux is the superior experience to Windows in every situation that it works at all.

That includes when an issue arises. I would much prefer to troubleshoot a Linux install than Windows.

Personally, I don’t really mess with battlenet games at all, but my understanding is that you can open Lutris and install battlenet pretty easily. Then just like on Windows, you install Diablo via their installer, and for most people, it works out of the box.

You can also download battlenet directly and add it as a non steam game to steam and then run it using their Proton compatibility option. This also works on the steam deck.

Look, I’ll be the first one to say that gaming on Linux is not as easy as it can be on Windows. But it is definitely not a bad experience, and hard core gaming is not the majority use case for computers. We have billions of PC users in the world. Under 3 million play Diablo 4. That is a fraction of a fraction of a percent.

Given that you need to install non-native hi rez textures to play Diablo 4 in 4k on Windows, that is not a good test for the “general crowd”.

The moment you get into any kind of high end gaming PCs, you’ve already left “general crowd” territory for most computer users.

As a Linux user, the Steam Deck is an amazing system to work with. I kinda dropped off with gaming in the last few years and the SD really rekindled my desire to game both solo and doing cozy co-op with my partner.

Truly a game changer and I’m so happy it’s supporting Linux while doing it

To be honest, we really didn’t mess around with swimming too much. I think you can swim at the beaches in the summer without much problem. The winter it is probably too cold for more than a quick dip polar bear plunge-style.

We did go swimming in between the divide in the continental plates in the run off water from the glacier there. That was amazing! Had to do it in a dry suit as it was freezing cold, but it was really cool and the water was more than crystal clear.

I took this picture in Iceland of the black sand beach and with the grey skies, it turned out almost like a black and white photo. Makes for a nice background.

Agreed. I don’t see it as an either/or issue. If this place becomes a cool place to hang out and find cool things and cool people, then that is a win.

Dude was integral to so many things. A major part of figuring out RAM and the battery tech that powers our lives.

It’s sad to see him go
