As opposed to emergent behaviour

Tbh kinda sounds like they trained it to blackmail

I always thought console exclusivity was a wasted opportunity for more sales. Especially when it comes to selling a PC version.

Maybe her view on proper parenting is also skewed by abuse? Not that it makes it ok. Was just talking with my psych, apparently the way my mother treated me growing up is considered abuse, just not the physical type. It really fucks with your head when you grow up with that sorta treatment.

Either way, don’t settle for abuse. Keep notes about incidents times, dates, what happened, any photographic evidence of bruises from beatings. Go see your local police if you trust them, if not try to look up any youth assistance groups.

Just keep learning new things and decide which things you want to continue to chase. Some things are easier than others, but people do these things and also started at a point where they might have known nothing. It’s about how much effort you are willing to put in to gain these skills.

Of course you gotta do stuff to pay the bills now, but don’t let people destroy your ambitions for the future.

Nothing permanent that I can think of. You’re probably running on mostly default settings anyway. It’s a laptop so you’ll likely only have one hard drive so boot order shouldn’t be an issue. Only thing I can think of is if you got some kinda hardware encryption setup, but that’s not likely on your typical laptop.

Acer Aspire a315-23 factory reset bios

There’s a bunch of videos and guides, just need to find one that matches your computer. Usually hit a button during startup to access to BIOS and can reset from a menu there.

Terminal would be after startup, more operating system level stuff.

Yeah so there’s something switching the power. It might not be entirely broken.

Could be a circuit that switches to battery power type of issue, worst case?

I reckon factory reset the BIOS. Worst case scenario you gotta set a few preferences again, best case scenario stuff starts working. Nothing to lose really.

Is the mouse losing power when this happens? Have you tested with any other USB devices? Do they also lose power? It sorta sounds like USB power saving kicking in incorrectly but I don’t know Linux enough. If all else fails maybe try something like resetting the BIOS or something?

Love this one

If you’re sticking with that period of English comedy. Vicar of Dibley

Good step. Can they go back and also remove the launcher requirements for some of their older games too?

Hey, some of us prefer only the bloodiest of diamonds. Still dripping if possible. /s

Yeah makes sense. Gaining the ability to hunt and eat meat is what allowed homo sapiens to evolve according to the article. That ability to reliably have food by being an omnivore would have been a boon to development rather that being tied to the growth cycle of the local plant life, and the protein boost too.

Ah. I see. Thanks for the clarification

Isn’t hawk tuah the sound of spitting?

Agreed. If they decriminalise and regulate it, sex work is much safer for all involved. People gotta pay bills and if sex work is their chosen profession, good for them.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has made clear, it’s that there’s a lot of crazy assholes out there.

Yeah this is why I’m so fascinated with the concept of designing home automation that is independent of the internet. Privacy and reliability

I’ve found as long as you select the window, use the keyboard shortcut to select move as you noted, use the arrow keys to move it a few steps, after that move the mouse without clicking and the window often moves with it at that point.

But yeah it’s the side effect of an inbuilt setting to remember last location on screen when the app was last used. Just not taking into account that the specific screen location is no longer available.
