Tea with milk is the best thing ever. Everybody always looks at me weird when I put milk in my tea. They’re just missing out, to be honest.
The worst part is that one of my friends doesn’t mind putting milk in Pepsi but has the audacity to look at me funny when I put milk in tea.
At the end I just erased all my disks and started all over again :( figured it was the easiest and quickest way to deal with it because I urgently needed W11 for my job, I’ll just be more ready for next time and read more about the OS before making a move so sudden like that
While I was trying to fix the issue all day, this comment is one of the things I tried, but when my laptop started, it just said “checking media… fail”, then getting reset into an endless loop. I said it in other comments but I think I erased an EFI partition that I shouldn’t have, I think Windows took part of my secondary SSD somehow.
After reading all these comments I just decided to format all my drives and start over. I made the mistake of installing EndevourOS at 12am when the next day I had to use Windows for my job! I did enter BIOS and changed the order but not even my BIOS recognized the OS, it just said “checking media… fail” and it fell into a permanent loop. What I said in another comment was that I thought this had happened:
It’s weird, but I had Fedora installed on my secondary SSD. Apparently when I did a clean Windows install, it installed in the primary SSD but took a part of Fedora on the secondary SSD as a Windows EFI partition. Then, when I installed EOS I selected “erase the disk” for the secondary SSD. I think it erased that EFI partition and I couldn’t go back to windows, but since the primary SSD still had my files I could still see them. To be honest, something like that never happened before so I’m not even sure of what I’m saying.
I’m not even sure if that’s what happened, as I’m still not an expert in these things, but when I erased the secondary SSD there was a “EFI partition” I had not seen before.
I wish, I still need to use Adobe products for my job, not even sure if I can install Adobe products in Linux yet, I’m still learning haha!
I was using UEFI I think? I used Rufus to make the bootable flash drive and it just gave me either MBR or GPT, when I selected GPT it showed me the UEFI option to the right (iirc). I spent all day seeing these comments and at the end of the day I had to delete everything in my hard drives and start over again…

Yeah, I feel stupid, I’m sorry.
So when I had Windows installed before, Windows was separated into 4 partitions, (not sure why), and then I installed Fedora on Disk1 (secondary SSD), and it looked to me (emphasis in “looked to me”) like it was only one whole partition.
However, after doing a clean W11 install it showed up as a single partition (which I was not used to) and Disk1 separated into 3 partitions, and aside from that, my laptop was no longer giving me the option to boot into either W11 or Fedora, it was just going straight to W11. That’s where my confusion was from and since I already had installed everything I needed I didn’t want to lose the progress.
I went to BIOS and it showed me that the boot menu was F12 (I didn’t know this before) and lo and behold, I am once again able to enter Fedora, it was just me being a noob and not knowing any better. Sorry for wasting everyone’s time! :(
I’m not a grammar expert and English is not my first language but I think I used to say this before and I just ended up taking out the “what it is” and changed it for the thing I’m trying to remember:
There’s a thing that I don’t know the name of
Or
There’s a thing that I don’t know how to describe
Or
There’s a thing whose purpose is a mystery to me
Is that what you’re refering to? Sorry if it’s not. I don’t think any of the first three examples are correct, or at least they sound really weird to me.
Please do correct me if there’s an English mayor somewhere though!

Sorry, but can someone ELI5 this one for me?
Although I (think I) speak/write English very well, it’a still not my native language and this specific article was extremely confusing for me, I don’t really understand what it means
I use: 1 copy in my primary SSD on my laptop 1 copy in my secondary SSD on same laptop, which autosyncs to: 1 copy in OneDrive family plan 1 copy on an external SSD
Kind of based on the 3-2-1 method.
Honestly, I use FF as my primary on Linux, and Waterfox as my primary on Windows (just because it runs better than FF on Windows fir some reason). Vivaldi I use as a secibdary browser when:
EDIT: I sent the reply without answering the question, I’m dumb. Anyways, some people like Vivaldi, some don’t. If you ask in a Privacy forum (and especially Lemmy) you will find less favorable opinions of Vivaldi.
My suggestion at the end of the day is just try it out and try to make your own research on how it was created and who is in charge. As I’ve undestood until now (don’t know if it has changed) is that the only thing proprietary about Vivaldi is the design(? Idk, someone correct me if I’m wrong) and that the CEO is not an.asshole (yet)
So what is the next step for Google? Raising YT TV to $100/month? $200/month? Raising Youtube Premium to $30/month? Google one to $200/month? Laying off employees?
I mean they gotta keep hitting that 5% growth every year, right? When does it stop? When there’s nobody else at the company? When people can’t afford anything anymore and go bankrupt?
When are companies gonna understand that growth for the sake of growth every year is just not feasable?
Just started using their search engine about 2 months ago, as soon as I heard the news I just dropped it.
I like the idea but if I want to send data to bing I’d use bing tbh.
This reminds me what I did in Best Buy once. They have (or had?) A return/exchange policy of 2 weeks, so I went to get a huge TV, but I was not sure if I really wanted it.
So I bought a Samsung 75" Smart TV, two weeks later, said I didn’t like it, exchanged it for an LG, 2 weeks later, said the same thing, exchanged it for a Vizio, and so on.
I ended up temporarily owning like 5-6 different smart TVs within a little over 3 months until I decided I no longer wanted it and returned it.
Did the same thing with headsets with 7 different pairs until I got the Sony XM3. US return/exchange policies go hard simetimes.
They can obviously track pirated installs.
They use computational predictions and quantum mathematical calculations through a software called trust me bro.
Ahh, I have one story. It’s also kind of my own personal tin-foil-hat conspiracy.
I was living in a place where you could rent, but it was also a hotel. It had a Rent-a-Car inside, and I was working there. It was exceptional because I was 2 floors away from my job, so no need for commuting.
Ultimately, and to make this long story short, I decided to leave the company (it was a small company, just my boss, his wife ane me), because one week I started to get paid less than what I was working, they probably thought I wouldn’t notice.
I immediately started looking for another job, and funnily enough, the hotel - where I lived - was hiring. They basically accepted me after the first interview, I told my boss’ wife that I was leaving the company for the hotel so I gave my two weeks notice.
Next day, I am driving through the highway with my boss to pick up a customer when he starts SCREAMING at me about going to work for the hotel instead of him. One thing stood out from what he screamed at me:
“I will make sure that you don’t get that job, or other jobs in the future, and you will never get this job back either, how are you going to live like that now? You just fucked up” - He said
Now this is the conspiracy/accusation part:
The hotel needed to do a drug test (they did that to everyone). The day of the drug test, I go to the place, do whatever I had to do, and they just told me to wait for an answer.
2 weeks goe by - no response. I call and ask, they say they “lost” my tests. Strange, but ok. I went to do another one.
2 days after the second one, they call me and tell me that the test was positive for weed. Now I’m not going to be a hypocrite and say I’ve never done weed. I have arthritis, so weed is something I sometimes need to handle tha pain and stress, but at that time I was clean for about 5-6 months.
However, I told them that it’s impossible, that I’ve never done weed, that I didn’t even have money to buy weed. They straight up tell me they don’t care and hang up.
Exactly 20-30 minutes later, my former (rent a car company) boss -who I hadn’t spoken to for more than a month- calls me, he doesn’t even ask me how I am or anything, he just goes straight for “where you accepted for the job? How did the drug test go?”
Now, call me crazy but…
At the end, I figured I was fighting a losing battle and searched for other jobs. 2 weeks later COVID-19 hit and the rent-a-car had to close, so that was good news for me.
Hijacking this comment thread to recommend SearXNG, it’s basically a decentralized search engine (if I understand correctly) and you can choose from where you want it to give you the results.
You can choose to index searches from both major (like Google, Bing, DDG, etc) and minor search engines at the same time and it will just give you the most relevant results. Alternatively, you can choose what engines you don’t want results from as well.
My experience with it has been great so far, I’ve just had minor issues when searching for something extremely specific and in those cases I use DDG or others, but most of the time the first 3 results are exactly what I’m looking for.
I use the Disroot instance on SearXNG, but you can choose other instances or host your own. There is a dedicated website for choosing instances.
I think this is better tbh, I personally don’t like it when piracy forums/sites/whatever piracy related thing goes too mainstream. Maybe it’s gatekeeping, I don’t know, I just don’t want another Z-Library incident.
Either way, they probably aren’t even against piracy, they’re probably just lazy and don’t want to deal with any of the issues they could potentially face down the line.
Edit - grammar
That may be true, but I think he might have a case…
The lawsuit said that Ackerman sent a pre-publication copy of the book to the Tetris Company earlier that year. He said the company refused to license its intellectual property for projects related to his book, dissuading producers who were interested in adapting it, and sent him a “strongly worded cease and desist letter.”
So he made the book, presented it to Tetris, they rejected the idea, threatened him to sue if he did his own thing, rejected other producers, then I guess partnered with Apple and made it as if it was their idea.
Are there fictional elements or speculations in Ackerman’s book that were translated to the Apple movie?
I think so, I think it’s more a thematic kind of thing, not the history per se. But I haven’t watched the movie or read the book, so this is just my point if view from what the article says.
No idea if it works like that or if he would have a case as I’m not a lawyer, or writer, or producer, so take what I said with a pinch of salt.
