Has it stuck on system 76 screen and since the model I bought came with system 76s CFW you can't just do a fresh install or you lose one of the entire selling points of the laptop because that will wipe the custom embedded firmware.

So I get to send my private laptop back to the company so they can fix it pretty much putting all of my data at risk by doing so.

Super shitty for a $2200 laptop to be honest

    Problem is you could take guns away tomorrow and the police would never let the leash up. Cat's out of the bag. The police would never give up guns. And they certainly aren't going to stop hiring a certain type of personality to become police officers.

    And even in places like South Korea where citizens can't own guns the police still carry guns and are known to have police brutality issues.

    There is a cop mentality problem no matter what.

    But I do agree with the fact that thinking every backpack, pocket or center console could have a gun makes for a certain type of policing to respond to that. You're right about that. (The kevlar vest saying Mental Health Worker sent me btw)

    I just don't know how you solve that at this point though because where I live guns are everywhere. everywhere so even if you outlaw them tomorrow all that's going to happen is you have a can of instant coffee or whatever to defend yourself and your family with and you get shot and killed by the criminal who will still have an easy to obtain gun.

    There's right around 500 million guns in the USA and many of them aren't registered. Lots of States don't even require you to register them at all "constitutional carry" and whatnot.

    In 2017 when the USA only had 393 million firearms that was known to be 46% of the entire world's civilian owned guns at the time. (Now much much higher)

    They can't even control the drugs. USA has one of the most insane brutal policing forces they use in the "war on drugs" and drug usage still goes up year over year even after you take into account deaths from overdoses.

    That same government is supposed to take care of the gun problem? It will create a scenario where every single criminal who wants a gun will have one but you won't have one or legally be allowed to use one.

    Are you aware that his comment wasn't defending the us militaries actions but condemning them?

    He was saying that the USA shouldn't have bombed a school if they didn't want to be judged for bombing a school. I think you misread it or something.

    Good thing my DNS resolver and VPN aren't american then huh?

    I wish I could buy the Chinese competitor to Starlink and use it just so I could break even further away from all the surveillance. I'd never be able to afford a visit to China so why would I care?

    You guys remember in I think Nice Dreams with Cheech and Chong where they put up the blue tarps over the plants and he acted like he was swimming?

    I bet they start using tarps or building buildings around them to start hiding this kind of stuff.

    Yeah and they have a painted picture on the mirror. Its like the people who made this have never even done drugs before. That's gonna end up in your nose, dude.

    What is the fucking spoon coated in leaded paint too?

    That's honestly the most annoying part to me (other than no physical game) It isn't even usable as what they are portraying it as.

    Any time you pause it or rewind it or sneeze it throws the "EXO failed to play this video" error.

    That's WHEN it decides to play sound.

    I noticed they said they aren't worried about fixing it on github??

    What is going on here?

    I'm using a shield tv pro and it acts like this on my gaming PC too always freezing and making me force shut it down.

    Did something happen with stremio lately?

    Edit: anyone know of any viable alternatives that don't require learning hours of self hosting stuff like Jellyfin?
