Yeah, and this game is 100% worth the ten bucks they're asking for. I already own it on Steam (where it cost $20 when I got back at the beginning of the year), and will happily pay another $10 to have it on my phone too.

Consider how many millions of Americans are obese, and the knock-on effects that has on a person's health. I suspect that if these drugs were widely available and affordable it would probably save money and lives in the long term.

Marketplace was fantastic for buying and selling all sorts of stuff for years, but it is now plagued with fake listings and scams and all kinds of undesirable shit now. The scammers seem to have no problem whatsoever cranking out new accounts on the regular, and Facebook doesn’t seem to give a shit. Any time I report any of the scam listings I get a response from FB about 3 weeks later saying they did nothing wrong, so they took no action. Fuck Facebook.

Your post inspired me to pull my old PS3 Slim off the shelf and give it a shot. Fortunately it is one of the ones capable of custom firmware. I successfully jailbroke it and am now running custom firmware, next I just have to figure out how to do anything useful with it, lol.

I just replaced a drive today that has been running 24/7 for the last 5.18 years. It hadn’t failed yet but was in a predictive failure state due to the amount of bad sectors it has accumulated. 3 other disks in the same giant raid array are showing some bad sectors but not enough to be over the ‘replace me now’ threshold.

Hey, FBI? Look! Over here. He’s doing it again.

I’m 40 hours into Persona 3 Reload. This is my first Persona game, and I’m enjoying it a lot. It was recommended to me after I got deeply into the two most recent Like a Dragon games, which I enjoyed immensely.

I’m having a good time with Persona 3 too. I’m playing it on easy and just enjoying the experience. I think I would have burned out on it about 20 hours ago if I was playing on a higher difficulty level and getting my ass beat in every boss fight. I wasn’t sure I would be into it with the high school setting, but that turned out to not be an issue.

I fully intend on playing it as far as rolling credits.

Hi, I'm running Linux Mint 21.3 with kernel 6.5.0-21 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T14 gen 2 with an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, and most relevant to my question, an Intel AX210 WiFi controller.

It connects just fine to 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, but about 90% of the time it cannot see my 6GHz network, which is operating on a separate SSID. Sometimes it apparently randomly will see the 6GHz network, and it will connect and work fine until the next time the computer goes to sleep, after which it will only see 2.4/5GHz networks again.

I've been messing around trying to troubleshoot it, which led me to installing wavemon, and I discovered that if I run wavemon with elevated permissions and make it scan for networks it will see the 6GHz network, and when that happens it immediately becomes available to choose through Cinnamon's GUI, and it will work fine again until the next time the computer sleeps. If I run wavemon again after waking from sleep and make it scan for networks, 6GHz functionality will work again.

Anyone know what's going on here? I should add that I am in the US where the 6GHz band is legal and should be enabled in the Intel iwlwifi driver. It's almost like something needs to happen to trigger the 6GHz radio into waking up or something.
