Microsoft will charge Windows 10 users $30 per year for security updates in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca
[–] MostRegularPeople@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I'm a neanderthal. I barely know how computers work. I switched to Linux mint cinnamon a couple months ago. I'm a light user, mostly using word processing, internet, Foundry VTT to run games, and some light gaming via steam. I watched some YouTube videos and read some articles and just kinda sent it. It is offensively easy. I see no reason to go back to windows.

There are some things that take getting used to, but the user interface is really similar to windows and I would argue is largely more functional.

This video and this article helped a lot.

Remember, I am dumb and I did it. You can do it.

Do any non-corpos actually like AI slop? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Same. When I've got a session coming upjwithjless than ideal prep time, I've used chat get to help figure out some story beats. Or reframe a movie plot into DnD terms. But more often than not I use the Story Engine Deck to help with writers block. I'd rather support a small company with a useful product than help Sam Altman boil the oceans.

This looks super interesting! I'm stoked to give it a shot.

You can indeed carry a gun in a national park. The law was changed in 2013.

Edit: I am wrong. It was 2010.

Check out startplaying.games. There is usually a cheap or free game going on if your time frame is flexible.

Spotify has raised prices for the second time in a year, with no new benefits, after its CEO sparked outrage by claiming the cost of creating 'content' is 'close to zero' in c/technology@lemmy.world

I also switched to Tidal after learning about Spotify's dystopian future war AI powered killer robot plans. It's also bullshit how little they pay artists.

I wish Tidal had podcasts, but I'm happy enough with AntennaPod.

Are Thule backpacks still good? in c/buyitforlife@slrpnk.net
[–] MostRegularPeople@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Do you hate money but love backpacks? Then check out Hillpeople Gear. I have a Connor, but Umlindi might be up your alley. They're not light backpacks, but they're sturdy and the load bearing system is second to none. Super comfortable even without a hip belt.

Also check out Mystery Ranch. If you can find a used one that's be best, but even after getting bought by Yeti they still make really good shit.

Hahahaha that is great! I didn't see that until now. It's a gas tank for the snowmobiles. And before you think I'm a fancy boy, they're over a decade old and the only way to get to and from our house in the winter.

No birds were harmed in taking of this picture, no matter how bad Rinny wishes they were.

My girlfriend is be very interested in putting Blink (Amazon) cameras up around our property. I am not interested in paying Amazon to keep our security footage.

What I'd like to do is have motion activated internet connected cameras around the property that somehow send footage to a server (I don't know if that's the correct term, I'm kind of an idiot) that I keep on the property.

So I have three questions:

  1. is this the right forum to be asking about self hosting security footage?
  2. does anyone here have experience doing this and would they be willing to send some pointers my way?
  3. is this a feasible DIY project or am I better served paying for a service?

I've done a little digging into self hosting and it's not cheap, but I think it will be cheaper than paying a subscription. And safer too, which is rad.

Thank you all!

Steam is giving me options for a return and I'm hoping for advice (lemmy.world)
 

I just bought the 256GB Deck at the beginning of this month and it arrived on the 10th for $529. On the 13th they announced the OLED Deck and dropped the price of the 256GB Deck to $399.

I wrote to Steam customer service and asked if I could return the deck and purchase the OLED model for $30 more and they wrote back with two options:

  1. return the deck, get a refund, and then buy the OLED model

  2. keep the deck I own and get $130 in my Steam Wallet.

I'm not sure which option to choose. On the one hand, $130 is a nice chunk of change to buy some games. On the other hand, a brand new, bigger, and nicer deck is worth waiting a couple weeks and $30.

Any advice?
