Finally did it, got my parent on linux.
  • If it was for me, I would support a FOSS alternative but, parents didn't enjoy the Libreoffice experience.

  • Finally did it, got my parent on linux.
  • I got my parents in their 70s to use Ubuntu for a few years now. All they use is a web browser and word processing application for .docx files. They used MS Word for years and I found Only Office has a similar UI and opens word docs.

    At one point I gave them an older laptop running windows again and they hated it. They wanted Linux back.

  • Until Dawn's Remake May Have Been A Big Mistake

  • 'V/H/S/Beyond' Actor Alanah Pearce On Becoming A Cosmic Horror [Watch]
  • Stoked for this! V/H/S/ has had an interesting evolution with Alien segments. V/H/S/ 1 had kids with bags on their heads (The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger), then V/H/S/ 2 really stepped it up with dogo cam (Slumber Party Alien Abduction).

  • As Starfield Steam Reviews Plunge to ‘Mostly Negative,’ Todd Howard Responds to Paid Mods Backlash - IGN
  • I remember when EA did something similar with Dragon Age Origins with an NPC that spawns at your camp. They tell you an engaging story then before you can hit accept quest you are hit with a pay wall. I remember being so pissed off, def added to my current hatred and do not buy attitude I have for EA Games these days. Sad to see Bethesda repeat similar failures.

  • Looking for cable management advice
  • I recently cable managed my desk into wire free zen, but it took some time and work.

    Server Rack Cable Management have been the best solution I found. Just add some double sided tape and cut the rack to size. I also use the same double sided tape to attach power bars under the desk, same with additional switches or hubs.

  • 10-year-old Nvidia GPU is still receiving love from vendors — Asus debuts GeForce GT 710 EVO with 2GB GDDR5 memory
  • My company has used these cards for years. They are great for our needs and the fan less design is desired for the end product (moving parts always break). Its always a concern when computer components are discontinued.

    Personally, I am not a huge fan of ASUS these days, I do wish we had some other options.

  • The Beastmaster (1982)
  • This is a great "Good/Bad" movie. I watched it a lot growing up. It is messed up they dyed a tiger black during filming.

  • Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox
  • I dont believe this will have the desired affect Google thinks it will. I, personally, will never buy Premium or switch to Chrome without an AD block. If anything, I will just download via linux or just not watch Youtube anymore.

    Whats your favorite enemy type?

    When you think Doom, you think Demons! The Imp is the first enemy type you encounter after the zombie duders. The sounds of scraping, ripping and tearing heard in the darkness. That little demonic gurgle SFX plays from behind a door. Imp's really help build that creep factor.

    What is your favorite or least favorite Doom enemy type?

    MyHouse Excited to finally release this tribute map. Last August I lost a good childhood friend of mine and took it pretty hard.

    Have you played this? I wasn't ready for this. Do yourself a favor don't look this up on YouTube, go in blind and figure out the secrets that await you.
