I've got 2:

Playing phasmophobia. The ghosts hands reach around my screen signifying I'm about to die. As my head is snapped back the power shuts off and everything goes black. And thunder clapped outside. Properly scared the shit out of me.

Another time, power went out and fried my Seagate hard drive mid write. No clue what was happening but pre power outage it worked. Post it did not. Now I'm scared to buy more Seagate drives.

There's a psych-thriller on Netflix called Bloodlines which I thought made a point of not using this trope. There's a character who for half a season listens to everyone, does what they tell them to, tries to make things work in a dysfunctional environment, and falls back into old habits because no one trusts him when anything goes wrong. Its a show filled with very human interactions, almost like the writers asked "what would actual people do" in every scenario, but also push the plot along.

Highly recommend it because this shit annoys me.

Can attest also, I have an Intel i5 and a rtx3050 running cachyos in a Gigabyte laptop and it's flawless. Power saving is that of a gaming laptop, I get 2 hours of charge when not gaming and not on AC, considerably less when gaming performance is required. But I only got slightly longer from windows 10 when I needed that for something, and I stripped that down to the absolute basics. If I right click on a game on Linux I get a pop-up asking about using my discrete gpu, otherwise it assumes. I have used Wayland and Xorg within the last few years, both are fine.

Having watched documentaries about it and studied it in uni, I've got an idea or two, yeah. Guess what happened to the guy who claimed he "just organised" the holocaust, planning and spreadsheets and such, but didn't kill anyone himself. Go on, guess.

People I've met who worked in the army describe it as a company who kills people. They know what they're in and they do it anyway. Conscription is different, even Ukraine is different because its self defence. US soldiers are volunteering to kill people overseas. I've got some sympathy for kids who get convinced its the only career for them, but there's no conflicts going on in or around the US and they didn't sign up for peacekeeping so...

I mean the Nazi soldiers that did train logistics didn't murder the Jews, right guys? They were good people right? No? Huh funny that.

I'm really easily distracted and have things to do when I use my home PC(s). So gnome is really the only thing I can reliably set up and not spend all my time customising. Also, Ubuntu was my first distro (tbh it was Kali Linux but we don't talk about my larp era) and I liked the DE from that.

Its not like I don't customise it mind you, but that's limited to changing the default wallpaper, installing blur my shell and dash to panel, then adding custom icons, usually Tela circle. After that though I don't touch anything in the DE. If I'm on a laptop, I go full Ubuntu and put the dock on the left vertical side of the screen

In comparison I once spent hours customising KDE to look and sound like windows 98, only to realise I didn't like it, to change it to something completely different 3 more times. I did not pass the assignment I was meant to be doing. Its fun but I'll do anything to procrastinate.

He said before the decimal??? Like this, see: 006000.0

I'm assuming someone is tired here, and it could well be me, but isn't that quite literally what I said? People were saying E2EE doesn't mean the data is secure when it gets there, I was trying to separate the discussion into at rest (secure storage) vs in transit (E2EE) because they're different applications of encryption. I wasn't really intending to argue about Apple's practice's.

From reading, it is encrypted at rest, which sounds like an Apple thing to do. Decrypted at rest feels very Google. Apple state on their standard plan they store the keys in their data centres which I think is what others were talking about? They say they can help recover them so they're accessible in some capacity between the user and Apple.

On their advanced plan details:

Advanced Data Protection for iCloud is an optional setting that offers our highest level of cloud data security. If you choose to enable Advanced Data Protection, your trusted devices retain sole access to the encryption keys for the majority of your iCloud data, thereby protecting it using end-to-end encryption. Additional data protected includes iCloud Backup, Photos, Notes, and more

I think they're trying to say that while apple encrypts in transit (upload + download is sftp or some other secure transfer method that can't be eavesdropped on), they don't encrypt at rest, meaning the data is written in decrypted format to disk. Which is a data security no-no for mine and most enterprises out there. They're alleging that if someone got into an apple server, they'd be able to read your data and anyone elses.

Now that might not be true but I don't see apple saying otherwise anywhere obvious. It's not true. I'm pretty sure Google do this though. They retain a level of access to train their ai models and other deep learning algorithms on what you write in docs or the photos you upload.

Its spelled fuck. You don't need to censor here

Yeah, thought I'd make a stupid joke out of it. Figured we all knew what you meant anyway

1GB may not be enough and could prove challenging for a first time user, even with a minimal Linux install... Though I'm not an arch user myself so probably just a skill issue now that I think of it
