Just a heads-up that Computer Science is a branch of mathematics, and some schools lean into that more than others. There’s a lot of theory in addition to the practicalities of writing programs. I’d assess how comfortable you are with math and abstraction, then try to figure out where the schools you’re looking at place their emphasis. Since you want work as a programmer, make sure the school offers some software engineering classes in addition to the theory.

So who’s actually developing it? If it was Valve they would have said…
I already own HL2, but presumably I would have to buy this anew.

Well shit. I left telemetry on because I liked Firefox and didn’t mind helping the developers with their free software. I very much mind helping marketers. I’m really curious what exactly is being shared.
But I’ve already moved on to Waterfox and Librewolf on everything but my phone.

I’ll second the Diablo recommendation if you can drive down to the hardware store and pick one up off the shelf. Home Depot has them in my area.
If you’re ordering online you have all the choices and I can’t help you there.
I prefer a coarser 24-tooth blade for speed, and especially if you’re going to be ripping stock thicker than 3/4". The finish it leaves it leaves is perfectly fine, and if you need it any smoother you can give it one pass with a plane. High-tooth-count blades are slow and it takes more effort to push the stock through.

That’s some… uh… that’s some programmer art there.

I’m guessing the Jointmaker Pro

which is faintly ridiculous.

Everything I hear about Nextcloud scares me away from messing with it.

He was known to spell his name several different ways.

I’m just running into this now. It also won’t let me log into the web interface. I’m glad I experimented with a second install before upgrading my primary pihole.

Right, because it’s hard to make a robot grow a goatee.

I tried Kopia but it was unstable and janky, so now it’s whenever I remember to manually run a bunch of rsync. I backup my desktop to cold storage on the first of the month, so I should get in the habit of backing up my server to the NAS then also.

I hadn’t heard that, but it wouldn’t surprise me. I haven’t had any issues with games on my IOT install, but none of them have been Ubisoft.

This is probably your best option at this point, as long as you’re okay with it ethically. It’s just one command to run.
If you haven’t fully move into your new installation, may I suggest installing the IOT version of Windows 11 instead? It has all the features you’d need and none of the cruft the normal consumer version has.

Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 (can’t remember which) controlled through the TV with the remote. It’s running LibreElec (Kodi) with the Jellyfin plugin. Discoverability isn’t great through Kodi, but I can always use a computer or phone to find the media and cast if I need to.

Jesus christ, what is that name.

Veilguard is a 3rd person action RPG, not a CRPG. It plays like God of War or something. It has lots of DA characters and lore, though.

GrapheneOS basically matches Google’s support window

Oh, interesting. I was going to try Graphene once Google stop updating for my current hardware, but I guess it’ll be Lineage instead.

Since I don’t play intensive games on my phone I’m sure either would be fine. They should both be plenty responsive for non-gaming stuff. Maybe some AI features would suffer, but I haven’t found a use for those yet.

I think the PC vs. console divide is relevant here. I’m not sure how advanced text entry on consoles is these days, but I imagine PCs have the advantage with keyboards. Maybe if they use voice recognition on the consoles? But AAA games usually target both, and if interacting with the model is clunky for a big chunk of your market then the big developers might not use the technology.
Of course, indie devs that only target PC can go wild.

I believe the issue is only with Tailscale Funnels. With Funnels, the data runs through TS’s infrastructure so it’s subject to whatever kind of bandwidth limitation they feel like enacting.
