  • I benchmarked 6 different metal USB sticks

    Jump

  • I bought two of these a few years ago and they are really reliable. USB 2.0 so they are slow as shit, but I still use them to install linux.

  • Do Linux distros and BSDs recommend using the command line to set up bootable USBs because most machines should be able to do it without additional software?

    Jump

  • validating the integrity of the installation

    The ISO file should be validated, and many installation medias check hashes.

    it can be disastrous if you don't pay attention to what you type in

    Valid point, even I get nervous when entering dd.

    I don't think that dd alone should be used as a backup

    Absolutely it shouldn't. I said primitive backups, which are not a replacement for things like snapshots. DD backups are space-inefficient, easily corruptible, and often result in broken systems.

  • Already switched to linux. I still have one windows drive that I haven't booted for about a year. Haven't relied on virtual machines or anything.

  • Samsung TVs are now getting One UI, bringing a fresh interface, new features

  • My favorite TV UI:

  • Wear OS

    Jump

  • I bought a wear os watch deliberately because I thought I would enjoy modifying and customizing it like a regular android phone. In reality, I don't use it much more than for fitness tracking. I'm going to buy a garmin instinct and not change for the next 4 years.

  • What is a game or games that you think are an absolute must-buy?

  • Yeah it's a great game in every aspect...

  • It's answers just don't feel as good as chatgpt. Sometimes they are incorrect, and sometimes they are lackluster.

  • I don't understand how people can use Gemini. I have always had bad experiences with it.

  • Why Google Search is Falling Apart

    Jump

  • DDG does have its issues like giving me random news articles from my area if it cant find anything relevant...

  • I miss old mrwhosetheboss who was more technically knowledgeable. He was talking about android modifications like roms that he probably would never talk about today.

  • Open-bar has to be my favourite Gnome extension in a while

    Jump

  • This looks nice but what license does it use?

  • Do Linux distros and BSDs recommend using the command line to set up bootable USBs because most machines should be able to do it without additional software?

    Jump

  • I feel like for the most part though using something like balenaEtcher is so much easier.

    Take 5 minutes to learn to use DD, and you'll never need to install etcher again. Also DD can do primitive backups of drives, and so much more.

  • I'm not a vandal, but...

  • Hackers take control of robot vacuums in multiple US cities and abuse owners, yells racist slurs

    Jump

  • The "smart"ification of stuff has got to stop. Nobody asked for wireless connected robots that don't let you connect to your own server even. Maybe if these worked with home assistant this wouldnt have happened, because home assistant devs are more competent that big corporations.

  • What is a game or games that you think are an absolute must-buy?

    Jump

  • I only play a certain part of games, I don't care for rpgs or top-down games as much as I like first person shooters, racing games, or simulation games.

    With that being said, here's my list.

    • Red Dead Redemption 2: The best game I have ever played, hands-down. It's story and gameplay are both perfection.
    • Trepang2: A less heard of game, but a really fun first-person shooter which is like a mix of Crysis and Doom.
    • Mafia 1 and 2: A great series with solid stories and gameplay, these are very enjoyable to play. Just don't buy Mafia 3. It's like if Ubisoft made a Mafia game.
    • Arma III: A classic military simulation game which I spent hours on hours in. I love exploring the maps while engaging in realistic shootouts, especially with mods like ACE which make it even more realistic and immersive.

  • Google must crack open Android for third-party stores, rules Epic judge

    Jump

  • I hope google gets fucked up the ass with this, because the play store is a cancerous app store thats giving android as a whole a bad name. I trust F-droid about 50x as much as I trust the play store just because of it promoting honesty and transparency from app developers. At this point, if I want an app that's not on f droid, I usually just won't get it.

  • I want my smart Android TV to be dumb again

    Jump

  • Anyone know about lineageos tv? It looks cool, but there might be some issues I dont know about not using it yet.

  • Google is testing a new version of Chrome for Android with extensions support

  • Just curious do you know why the F-droid repo says the app has trackers?
