Hi everyone,

I just recieved my 13 pro, Intel version, running Nobara and so far everything is working great except I am having issues with the 1tb module. I can put files and movies on the drive no problem but when I tried to make the module a second steam library and I keep getting write errors. I can download steam games to the drive fine, but they won't launch and when I try to install any of the proton versions they all fail due to write error. I'm not sure what the issue is, my internal NVMe has no issues running steam games.

EDIT: the issue was the file system for the drive. I didn't think to format it when I got it. The drive shipped as exfat. Formatting to ext4 fixed the issue.

Hi everyone,

I made a post several weeks ago regarding my brother's cat Challa, who needed major dental surgery. I posted my brother's go fund me for the surgery and I want to thank everyone who donated, it was very helpful. Challa had his surgery on the 23rd and thankfully, they only had to remove 7 teeth. He was able to keep his canines which was a relief. He has been recovering well and is feeling much better, but still grouchy. Here are some pics of him! Thanks again everyone!

Hi everyone,

My brother's cat Challa was diagnosed with stomatitis, a chronic inflammation of the gums, that requires teeth extraction. This is a painful disease that affects his eating and enjoyment in life, Challa is a young cat and has not been the same since. The vet said that due to the severity of the inflammation, she is expecting that all of his teeth need pulled. This procedure is very costly, close to $2000, and my brother made a go fund me page to try and help with the cost. I wanted to post his fundraiser here in hopes to help him out.

I realize that times are tough right now, I don't want anyone to feel obligated to donate or guilty if you don't. If you happen to be in a position where you can donate a little, any little bit helps. Thank you!

I am running mint on my main pc. I want to create an external drive with a different Linux OS, Nobara, but want to know if there's any chance it will affect my mint install. I normally remove all the drives in my system except the one I'm installing a new OS to, but that's less feasible with my desktop as I have several NVME drives behind my GPU. Can I leave all my drives connected, plug in a seperate SSD through USB, boot into Nobara live and install on that drive without it affecting my mint install? Also, if I do that will it put the EFI file on the seperate SSD?

I have an S23 thats on the latest update. I have been using a third party texting app called Textra, for years now with no issues. Just last week, some of my friends have been trying to send me links but they just don't go through anymore. It can be any link, Google maps, youtube, Amazon link etc. I also found out that my friends started a group chat with me, but I never received any of the messages. My friends are mostly iphone but some use android also. I found out that if I enable Google messages as my default, everything works fine. And after I enabled Google Messages as my default, the group chats came through in Textra, but the address was an email address

Is this an issue between RCS and SMS? Am I forced to use Google Messages now? I've uninstalled and reinstalled Textra and I installed a different third party messenger and no change.

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a new car (24 mazda cx5) that supports android auto. I've never had this feature before and so I'm new to it, but so far it's been working really well. I am having an issue with voice commands, specifically for calling and texting. Voice commands work for changing music or playing something else from my playlist, but when I say "call mom" for example, it pops up what I said on screen but then nothing happens. I have tried multiple times with different ppl and I have tried sending texts. It will register what I am saying but then it just goes back to Google maps. I know calling works through the car tho, because I have recieved calls and if I use the touch screen to access my contacts, I can make call that way. It will also notify me when I recieve a text message. And I know I have service when I have tried to make calls. I tried searching online but didn't have much luck. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have a 2012 Nissan versa which uses a CVT. I am close to hitting 100k miles and just had my transmission serviced. I'm not having any problems with the transmission, but just wanted to do routine maintenance on my car. When I was at the shop, the guy kept telling me how unreliable CVTs are and I'm lucky I got 100k miles out of it. He also made it sound like it could totally fail at any point in the near future. So I'm just curious how long do CVTs last? He said they typically fail around 70k miles. If they truly don't last much longer than 100k miles then maybe I should look into getting a new car while mine is still working. I tried looking it up online but I don't trust the AI content.

Thanks!

My neighborhood still has an ice cream truck. I'm curious how many other cities still have ice cream trucks. They seem outdated at this point.

EDIT: thanks for all the responses! Its surprising to me that ice cream trucks are still going, but that's awesome!

I have been wanting to play this game since it was announced. However, I prefer single player games. I know this game is designed for 3 players, but I read that they were going to add 2 player and maybe single player support. have they made it any better for us loners? I don't really want to play with randoms either.

EDIT: thanks the input everyone! Looks like I'll be picking up the game at some point since they are balancing the game for different players.
