Gentoo for the last 20+ years. Slackware before that.
Ran something or other off dual floppy drives at some point in the ancient times… A boot diskette and a root diskette.

I have a Samsung 4K HDR 120hz TV and can’t really tell any difference between it and my ancient non-smart Phillips LCD TV that it replaced.
I have an Xbox series x with 4k hdr enabled and everything still just looks “normal” to me.
120hz is slightly noticeable compared to 60 in games that support it, but not a huge deal. 99%+ of what i do on my TV isn’t 4K, HDR, or 120hz, so it’s not extremely valuable. From “couch distance” anything above 720p is unnoticeable anyway.
I also have a windows 11 laptop with 4k HDR screen and disabled HDR in settings because the colors were all horrible looking with it on. Honestly I run it in 1080 instead of 4k because it uses less battery, performs better, and many programs don’t work correctly at 4K, and i can’t tell the difference anyway. Tiny pixels are still tiny.
I realize this whole comment may come off as old man “get off my lawn” fist-shaking. I’m not trying to downplay other people’s experiences who seem to be genuinely impressed by these features, and maybe I’m just “holding it wrong”, but for me, personally, I regret spending extra for the whole 4K HDR thing.
Ironically, Microsoft has retired the “Microsoft Office” name.
The acronym GOAT has been around since well before those zoomers were born, probably before most of their parents were born, so don’t feel too embarrassed!
I do it because I can… I read release notes on every update and once you’ve configured a kernel for a particular machine you really don’t need to touch the config, barring major changes like when PATA and SATA merged. Or of course if I’m adding a new piece of hardware.
I remove everything I don’t need and compiling the kernel only takes a couple minutes. I use Gentoo and approach everything on my system the same way - remove the things I don’t need to make it as minimal as possible.
Compiling your own kernel also makes it easier when you need to do a git bisect to determine when a bug was introduced to report it or try to fix it. I’ve also included kernel patches in my build years ago, but haven’t needed to do that in a long time.
I used to compile a custom kernel for my phone to enable modules/drivers that weren’t included by default by the maintainer.
It’s not about performance for me, it’s about control.
Android retains emergency alerts for the lifetime of the phone, even after they’ve been viewed/dismissed. They can be seen in the settings app under emergency alert history.
SSHFS is shipped by all major Linux distributions and has been in production use across a wide range of systems for many years. However, at present SSHFS does not have any active, regular contributors, and there are a number of known issues (see the bugtracker).
The current maintainer continues to apply pull requests and makes regular releases, but unfortunately has no capacity to do any development beyond addressing high-impact issues.
When reporting bugs, please understand that unless you are including a pull request or are reporting a critical issue, you will probably not get a response.
Steam has a year in review thing, just log into the steam store and you should see it.
It’s a Japanese game compatible with the Japanese Master System or Mark III, which uses a different sized cartridge than the overseas SMS. The Japanese Sega SG-1000 used this same size cartridge, and the Japanese SMS/MKIII were backwards compatible with them.
The Samsung Gam-Boy (South Korean version of the Master System) also used the Japanese-style cartridges.
In Japan, they used the “Gold Cartridge” branding for first-party releases and “Silver Cartridge” for third-party releases.

Small correction - MLK Jr would be 94 today. He was born in 1929.
ThinkPads still have real mouse buttons, at least. And some who copy the ThinkPad, like HP Zbook.
Island is great. My wife runs ecommerce and social media accounts for her job (and has her own side business at home) and used to use 2 phones, with Island she can run parallel sandboxed copies of certain apps at the same time (ebay etc). It’s the first thing she installs on a new phone and at this point she’d refuse a new phone if she couldn’t use Island on it. With the normal work profile, she’d have to constantly switch between profiles and miss out on real time notifications.
Maybe the mid west republicans are just 100% trumpers? It’s wild.
MAGA is basically like a religion out here. They avoid any information that contradicts their belief system and gravitate towards media that reaffirms it. The constant drumbeat of whataboutism coming from trump, fox news, AM radio, etc really has poisoned their brains. Support of trump, embrace of his lies, and hatred of his “enemies”, has become their entire identity.

I’ve run into this where the sign-up form silently truncated the password but the login form didn’t. Took me several password resets to guess the thing was being trimmed to 16 characters.
